The clippers are done. It was time to blow that whole thing up anyway.

But look on the bright side, Doc will get to start his son now!

So the Kings actually had a good draft. They should be fun to watch. Hoping that Lonzo fails miserably just because of his dad

not a fan but I watch most of the Lakers games so I'm slightly excited, Lonzos dad is like most of the Lakers fans on the internet tbh

It will be delicious to see lonzo try to deal with adversity in that market. The kid is nowhere near as good as his dad thinks.

Merry Xmas knicks fans!

It's looking like Melo will stay in NY now...

Not sure about how Harden and Paul will compliment each other.

They "fixed" something that wasn't broken. Harden absolutely thrived as a PG last season, why change that?

There is only one basketball.

Apparently they really wanted to play together. Who knows why

because he was exhausted due to being the sole play maker with ball in hand come playoff time.

Good point, but on the other hand, Harden isn't exactly in the best shape in the world. Further, he doesn't exactly have an infallible playoffs track record either. He's struggled mightily in the playoffs in years past.

Either way, he had his best season of his career playing PG, that's undeniable.

Apparently Paul hated Rivers because of his nepotism for his son.

Rivers is still living off 2008/Thibs.

Peace out to phil...he was a total piece of shit.

They had a legit trade for melo and doc turned down a deal most gm would have done.

I have my doubts Phil is done with the nba.

He'll resurface with the Lakers

Fine with me. He's nothing without elite superstars and his attachment to the triangle in 2017 is beyond retarded.

I really hope PG gets traded to the Celtics. The 'cers don't have a ton of leverage because no one besides the Lakers can really offer a package that could make the Celts up the ante, but they know they can get him in free agency. The Rockets, Wiz, Cavs, etc. don't have what it takes to really put an enticing package together (although I think an Otto Porter, Kelly Oubre, draft pick combo could be enticing).

I also hope Hayward signs there as well because that's the only way I see a team having a legit shot at challenging the Dubs. I'd take a package like- Rozier, Jaylen Brown, Crowder, and a draft pick for PG. Avery Bradley or Marcus Smart or Tatum being included in a deal would only be icing on the cake.

Wow, Thunder. Ainge is fucking up missing on him and Butler. If I was a Celtics fan I'd be pissed.

well that came out of nowhere

Blake back to LA.
Rubio a Jazz now with Teague going to Minny.
Steph gets paid.

I always laugh at the ones like Knicks 500/1 you probably lose money at 50k/1. How many players need to be out before the Knicks have a top5 guy?

If the odds of GS having multiple major injuries is 20% or lower, that GS line is free money.

Teague
Wiggins
Butler
Millsap
Towns

Jrue Holiday gets 5 years, 126 million

I'm not huge on Teague tbh. ATL was willing to let him go in favor of Dennis Schroder without blinking an eye. I do feel he's an improvement over Rubio, but not a big improvement.

For the price, Teague is a huge signing. Teague was the third most efficient pull up jumper in the NBA behind Isaih Thomas and Kyle Lowry.

I haven't seen a wolves team with a PG who can score since the KG years.

Towns is going to get so much open space on the floor because teams won't be able to double team him anymore

Towns doesn't need work on offense, he needs to spend every minute working on defense. He was embarrassingly bad at it last year and the Twolves future title equity is almost entirely based on how he improves on that side of the ball. It's the difference between a 4-5 seed and a 1/2 seed in 2 years.

You have a starting five that may average even fewer 3 pointers than they did last year, when the were lowest in the league. Wondering how that 24 second clock is gonna get divvied up. Still gonna try to make it out there for a couple games, tho. You have season tix, or thinking about getting some?
