2022 NBA Offseason thread

What she said?

“I’m going to go back and reevaluate whether I’m able to continue to play at the level that I hold myself to,” Parker said. “And I think that’s the biggest thing; I don’t ever want to cheat the game. I won’t cheat the game.

“So when I’m not able to go out and play and be the Candace that I want to be, I won’t play. And I think that comes in the offseason.”

YOU REALLY ARE A DUMB FUCK

Yeah wouldn't read much into it yet. Sounds like frustration from the game last night.

He’d be better off on the pelicans now lol


I love the irony

You can’t play that game though.

They wouldn’t have most of the pieces that are there now without trading AD.

@Mamba @The Q

@Retroram52 probably has it right.

The Lakers are clearly not serious about getting a deal done.

They are not budging on the picks.

“From my understanding, Utah would be open to various amount of structures, of salaries, that meet Russell Westbrook’s salary coming back — so long as they get those two picks. Again, haven’t heard the Lakers have been willing to put those two picks on the board. I have heard — I don’t know if this has been offered — but there’s at least been some type of flirtation or internal meeting on the Lakers’ side of putting a pick swap into the deal as well. So it’s a little more than first; doesn’t sound like it’s enough, though, from the Utah side of things.”

@Mamba

I'm trying to find the audio for this to verify this is actually what he said.

Jones covers the Jazz for the Athletic.

Tony Jones on ESPN700] "I don't think the Jazz are close to anything right now. They've been talking to the Lakers. They made an offer to the Lakers, the Lakers made a counter offer to the Jazz. Those 2 offers were far apart"
