2019 Offseason Thread

The Glove or that Flat Earther, who would you rather have?

For me it would depend if you want a lock-down PG or a shot-making PG. Not sure which one I'd want. It would depend on what the roster looks like.

and while i mostly agree, defense in this league is somewhat of a commodity these days. so my 1st impulse would probably be to take Glove...

There were AOL boards too...lol. I remember ESPN turned into a troll board toward the end. Was CBS and AOL like that too. Have you ever tried to post at inside hoops at all?

did AOL boards back in the day, but only for football season...

and no, the incessant trolling on CBS was way worse...

"Cavs Contingent"

Did you know Eric Snow > Kyrie. Klay > AD & Embiid?

as i said, doing some work...

i'm waiting to see if DTG is gonna take up that bet you proposed...

I can type anything.
Its the internet.
It doesn't matter.
Take it for what its worth, or nothing.
Your choice.

OK...so you guessed. No biggie, as you can certainly type whatever you want and have proven as much.

I heard from reliable sources Riley told Lebron he could be the de facto GM. Make any move he wants with full autonomy. Klutch could do what they wanted, as well, with Riley reporting to them.

Just moved pretty much all of the Heat/Cavs/Love/Bosh bullshit to the Tristan/Whiteside thread.

Keep that shit there or next to move will be posters.

he's also not a whack job.

There's no way in hell he'll take my bet. Because he knows what he said was an outright lie. Nobody in their right mind would ever say Snow > Kyrie.

Only place I ever "ignored" a poster. wasn't so much the trolling, but more repeated posts and spam posts which if memory serves took longer to scroll past.

Your opinion is I guessed.
Luckily to me, it doesn’t matter.

which bet?

You also couldn't comprehend the Snow > Kyrie = tlance "logic"

On David Griffin's comments:

1. He's already said that some of what he said was taken out of context.

2. His comments about "credit" seem to be exactly the same as what KD said and don't necessarily blame Lebron, but rather the media (who are the ones who typically assign credit).

3. I'm sure that being under constant pressure to keep a contending team viable and making all of the tweaks both in the off-season and during the season that have to be made is very exhausting and nerve wracking. I remember Jerry West saying similar things about building the Lakers and trying to keep them on top. He couldn't even enjoy watching the games because he was so nervous.

Everyone knows that when you have a player like Lebron, especially when it's an older player, the pressure to "win now" is tremendous. Griffin probably didn't even get to enjoy the championship very much because he had to immediately start figuring out what he had to do so they could try to do it again the next season.

People like Shamet shouldn't turn this down. May be the only time he can play for team USA

me, too.

me, too.

Now that is pretty funny.

Props

Feel like people turning down USA basketball is just the hot item thing to do at the moment. I just don't get it why the younger guys would pass on this opportunity. The only fathomable reason is Paul George and what he went through, with the young guys not really yet having that security. But shit, this opportunity like @bksballer89 may never come again. Take advantage.
