2020 NBA Offseason

[trojanfan12]

Draymond's a fool. And current captain of my all NBA jackass team. But I don't want to see him get injured. Or any other player for that matter.

Yeah, but if you haaaaad to pick a guy....lol

lol

Only the Kings could make the Lakers/AD trade debacle look like a smooth operation.

What a mess.

lol

It was Windhorst, but I saw Windhorst being interviewed this morning and he said that Bogdonavic backing out of this trade may all be a big drama/farce because (technically) the deal being announced when it did blatantly violated the NBA's anti-tampering rules... so in order to avoid any repercussions or blowback on that front, Bogdonavic may be putting on a show now and then have a change-of-heart this weekend when trades are actually allowed to be negotiated and completed.

Wouldn't that be true of all of the trades that were announced at roughly the same time?

It's official. Thompson tore his ACL.

How many players suddenly "get it" after 7 years in the league? He may get a little better in a better situation, but I wouldn't expect anything close to stardom.

No one said stardom. I didn't even mention All-star in my posts.

Wiggins is on his 5th head coach in 7 seasons. Now he's no longer burdened with having to be the #1 pick, he can learn to play good basketball instead of stat basketball. Getting it consists of making the right play. Getting it consists of making a consistent defensive effort. Getting it means avoiding long 2's and poor shot selection.

That's all he needs to do.

Klay hurt again. Warriors season takes a big hit

 

[DJ Fieri]

If Klay does end up having a full tear, it likely means the window for the Warriors closes. Klay will have then gone two full years without playing. Even when he comes back there’s no guarantees on how he will perform. Their shot to contend for a championship reduces greatly.

Crazy enough the things that might likely save this team going forward are the two things that most everyone thought they would deal yesterday....Andrew Wiggins and the 2nd pick (James Wiseman).

Im still holding out hope for Klay but it’s mostly just because I feel bad for him more than the Warriors. Dude loves like 3 things in like and one is hooping.

It is.

 

[The Derski]

Prayers up to Klay. Maybe my boi Nico Mannion can step up.

 

[ericd7633]

God damnit. Getting to miss out on 2 prime years of Klay just really fucking sucks.

Damn. Condolences, @CitySushi @msgkings322

well that and the draft.....i mean- i got a promotion at work and have a girlfriend - and spending hours a week posting on a sports website just became much less of a priority.

and just to add---- i was okay with the Okoro pick for the Cavs. Reminds me of the Sexton pick a little bit--- counting on a guys work ethic and drive more than anything else.

Toppin and Avieda were more talented- but neither of those guys are really great fits in todays NBA since they both look like big liabilities defensively that will preclude them from playing the 3. Toppin has some Amare upside.

Okoro is what the Cavs needed- a wing player with top level athleticism that can play D, with a great work ethic and a lot of drive. Hopefully, like Sexton who's outside shot was questioned coming in, he can work on his outside shot and become a core player.

Haliburton really intrigued me too though.

Thanks for the bet and cash....

My favorite NBA player right now. Ugh.

and the best part with him is IF he can work like sexton to have a decent outside shot with his height/defense he could be elite. sexton's height and D limited him. Shooting a big if, of course.

Sucks when it becomes official.

It wasn't officially confirmed until about 20 minutes ago dickface.

My favorite NBA player right now. Ugh.

Him scoring 37 in a quarter is one of my all-time favorite memories. Warriors pre Durant were so much fun to watch(not a knock against GSW or Durant). Just seemed like their offense was much more flowing before him. Yeah this pretty much fucking sucks.
