nba off season 2024 bud 2 suns etc

spurs should draft alex sarr and go full team frahnce

Ah thanks goon. Don’t really see the gambling thing going well but what do I know

the vibes are vile but im sure the nba will make tons of money off it, which is nice for them

big games tonight for who will not play the celtics and who will maybe play the celtics

rooting for 76ers to not play the celtics

i really don’t think the heat will win tonight but sticking boston w/ philly is prob the most damaging thing they can do in these playoffs

the one bright side i guess to playing philly now is getting embiid so soon off injury

This game talk is for the INS, not for those of us already languishing in the OFFS EASON.

oops my bad

cracking up at lagoon making two imperceptible thread titles and then being the first one to screw it up

hoisted with my own petard

it’s driving me nuts lol they’re right next to each other on bookmarks too and are indistinguishable on quick glance

heh

it's the eason for the season

spurs should draft alex sarr and go full team frahnce

they could def go for paris texas status, they already have wemby and sidy cissoko (played mostly g league, but should probably get more time in the big club this year). theres not only sarr but risacher and tidjane salaun likely going in the lottery. i think risacher would be a great fit if he's as good a shooter as he seems, sarr im less convinced would work as a non-floor spreading big next to wemby.

Spurs would have the no. 1 pick with the "Gold Plan":

Thanks for continuing to champion the Gold Plan!

Here's the NBA version, with the Spurs running away with a second straight #1 pick by playing hard down the stretch.

im sorry i will never support anything with this obamacare exchange ass sounding name

lol it was invented by a guy named Gold!

which is kind of Obamacare-esque really

ha

what a coincidence that the guy who made obamacare was named obama

I didn't realize that Jontay Porter is Michael Porter Jr.'s brother, or that his other bro Coban was about to do eight years in prison for drunk driving/killing a lady.

damn rough times for the porter family

entering the portal

portal check

portal rico babyyyy

hes prob right, hawks gotta trade one of trae or dejounte, gsw could shake things up, lebron could leave la, bulls might finally blow it up, the aforementioned d mitch, utah might go full tank 4 cooper and trade lauri, who knows who might flame out in the offs early and panic trade we could be seeing some deals folks which is almost as good as the games

does blake griffin play himself?

Funny how Al Bundy is doing a voice but not Fishburne -- when did Doc's voice go?

beal wrote that in the cms

Absolutely haha. Whole team got the memo were blaming Vogel and gonna give this another shot with a new coach next year and it will all be different we promise

Denver should draft Bron Jr just for giggles

lebron, welcome to the offs eason

lebron leaving la and letting the lakers empire crumble, lets gooooooo

There’s gonna be a lot of big moves this offseason I think

New Orleans Pelicans, welcome to the offs eason too. Sorry that you have to play Farrah Fawcett to the famous Lakers of Los Angeles

what can lebron really do it's quite the conundrum

there is not an obvious pick here, he could always say fuck it round 3 in cleveland and thatd be fun. knicks would be fun but i think thibs would murder him with 40 mpg. gs might lure him to their retirement home with the promise of free tech stocks. or maybe he really will go to whomever drafts bronny and suffer in utah or something, i mean d wade kinda owns part of the team.

but the real answer is spurs, he'd be great with wemby

confirmed

Dallas Mavs welcome to the offs eason

all right which of these 20 guys are changing teams soon:
bron
pg13
trae
dejounte
ingram
kat
garland
mitchell
draymond
klay
randle
tobias
lavine
demar
caruso
butler
herro
mikal
kcp
lauri

a lot of the maybe thats kind of crazy

Yah prob close to half of those

btw til thats 2nd apron teams get their 1rp bumped to the end of the line if they are in the 2nd apron in 3 out of 5 years, thats brazy

if you're boston thats no big deal youre already #30, if ur the suns lolllll

the 2nd apron penalties are very harsh lol

guys who prob arent going anywhere from that list bron mitchell kat dray mikal kcp

i'd add randle to that list of guys who'll stay, bcz the knicks drastically overvalue him

if bron wants to win a title, he will leave la, but i think his heart's not in it and he'll take the big sack of cash

https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/warriors-offseason-plan-1a-is-to-avoid-luxury-tax-entirely-owner-joe-lacob-says/

i think the warriors are going to look a lot different next year

i'm taking the under on trades involving trae, dejounte, garland, mitchell, KAT, butler etc i think teams have sky high asking prices for players whose contracts make them questionable as longterm assets

where is all the demand to trade a bunch of assets for a PG coming from, this has yet to be adequately explained

yeah itd prob have to be more of a their teams are ready to move on type situation for some guys

garland to spurs has potential to be a more legit trade that makes sense for both teams

tho might require a third team in the mix idk

dejountes on a p reasonable contract imo, and i cant imagine cavs will keep both mitchell and garland.

all reports are pointing towards cleveland keeping mitchell so yeah they kinda have to move garland, pretty bad timing tho since he had such a bad season, could see them waiting and hoping he bounces back to start the season

the outline of a deal that makes sense is something like keldon+draft picks (2 1rps?) and salary filler (zach collins?) for darius. i think they could get him for far less than what theyd need for trae and i think he'd give you like 85% of what trae can. but its still an awkward defensive fit.

i kinda think dejounte would be perfect back on the spurs but i dont think atl would be willing to help the spurs unless they got at least two of their picks back.

garland is a good defender, i like him more than trae, injury history is troubling tho

i would love to be pleasantly surprised but every team is asking for a pick haul for their under contract assets and i just don't think any of these guys actually warrant that. dejounte murray was on a great contract at the deadline and the hawks couldn't find a deal they liked.

i think the warriors are going to look a lot different next year

The stuff I've seen about Klay is that he's 50/50 about staying (and he might be prioritizing the length of whatever new deal over total money). Also, that even if he leaves, that might not alleviate the cap crunch, because of various cap arcana.
