i have something to say about the offseason THE 2016 NBA OFFSEASON

yeah i still think he's a mirage

also can't play IT/derozan together

in the event that KD doesn't want to come here theres a pretty big drop to the next best available player in that role (parsons?) so you'd probably have to go for a big trade

theres a guy in chicago who doesn't like fred hoiberg or that front office (that said paxson/forman hold onto assets with hooked claws)

ya i wonder where dannys head is at re maxing out 2nd tier free agents, trade does seem to be the way to go if youre swinging for the fences, nets pick lands in the top 2 and the celtics cld have some good options

was reading a chris mannix thing just now saying the strategy will be to trade for a piece or two that would make the team appealing to durant or i guess some plan b free agent

the entire hornets team is going to free agency can we just sign them and merge

they really need to trade their picks and a couple guys off the roster, just too many guys

xp long as spencer hawes isn't involved

all the bigs other than kelly are gone iirc or maybe amir has a team option for 1 more year

i don't think they'll be paying to keep sully with their current situation

youre correct about amir, jerebko is on a similar deal i think. and yeah they're not gonna bother with sully or evan turner (despite brad inexplicably turning him into a swiss army knife off the bench)

i do think danny will have to tip his hand by the draft since you can't just draft 7 guys and then expect other teams to give you any leverage in moving some of them

turner turned out to be a dece back up pg but besides that his utility to the celtics is based mostly on the fact that they just have no playmaking outside IT

potential trade targets: butler, m gasol, dmc, harden

tuner was exposed really badly playing with the first unit against atl, they just left him in the gdamn corner all night.

feel like gasol prob actually the best fit if youre dreaming of pairing someone w kd and it, tho he has age/injury concerns obvs

harden would bump IT to 2nd unit prob which would be weird to do after this year

butler's a better fit since he plays d

wait was that sarcasm

100% I think the only reason kd would stay is to coordinate jumping ship with russ

Might be some $$$ advantages too but whatever dude could just do the Lebron and say he's signing a one year deal and reup the next year with more cap or something

i hunger for cap

what about bropez?

one milli is a lot off money!

i think it would be awesome if kd went to boston or somewhere in the east

need to shift some good players over def

this would obv never happen in any current nba universe but my brother and i were fantasizing of seeing lebron and russ on the same team, it would be crazy to see, teams would get run over

russ-bron-drummond

ATTENTION DANNY AINGE http://nba.nbcsports.com/2016/04/29/report-kings-willing-to-trade-demarcus-cousins-because-his-moodiness-bothers-teammates

are underhand free throws really that much more accurate? the pundits always act like dj and drummond would suddenly be making 70% immediately if they would just do that

seems unlikely but who knows

however drummond shot 32%! so he shd def try SOMETHING

like that is so crazy

idk about more accurate but potentially more repeatable and less dependent on touch, fingers, wrist action for a bigger guy.

they were good enough for rick barry https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_k1ZM_K5L8g

rick berry is one of the alltime great shooters

i think it can land softer? also might help with shooting it straighter, seems more repeatable? no idea tho rick barry was so good at it. would take a full summer of practice and commitment to it

ur angle increases which helps a lot

physics proves a rainbow has better chance of going in than line drive

yeah

all things being equal, but theyre not

like goon said its worth a shot 32% is criminal. 60% should be the bare minimum really

also lol iggy shoots rainbows but they... do not go in

def weird that he's a 35% 3 shooter all things considered

t-mac free throw syndrome

rick berry is one of the alltime great shooters

my point!

no not one of the alltime great ft shooters, one of the alltime great shooters

right, i'm saying underhand isn't necessarily just a last resort for hopeless cases like drummond even though it's fallen like beyond out of fashion.
