NBA '18/'19 Season

So the Pels had a new team intro video thing tonight. Not a single image of AD. I understand making one for the future, but why air it now?

Was it in comic sans?

That’s really petty...and not sure how you can keep him beyond 2/7 now. 

McCollum goes for 20 points on 9/9 shooting in the first quarter 

Lillard with 22 and McCollum with 21 and 4:20 left in the 2nd. Portland has 70 lol

One of the most underrated, maybe overlooked, players in the League. He’s really good. 

Not sure if it’s 100% official, but Porzingis looks to be headed to the Mavs. Luka and Porzingis is real nice.

Looks pretty official.

Also, it’s been reported that the Lakers have offered pretty much everyone but LeBron for AD. 

Sources: Full players involved in Knicks/Mavericks deal:

 

Kristaps Porzingis, Tim Hardaway Jr., Courtney Lee, Trey Burke to Dallas.

Dennis Smith Jr., Wes Matthews, DeAndre Jordan and likely first-round draft pick compensation to New York.

Knicks need to be relegated to the Euro League. 

what on earth?

It’s makes sense for the Knicks if they feel they can sign two max players in FA this summer. Because they’ll have the cap space. 

But they’re such a dysfunctional franchise, I don’t know who would sign there in confidence.

Disagree. You already had a max player and you trade him away in hopes for signing another two later this year? Wouldn't they have had the money for a max player this summer in addition to Porzingis and potentially winning the draft lottery. I would have told him to chill out. He hasn't played in a fucking year, of course they're going to be awful. What did he think was going to happen?

Problem with what you’re saying is ONE free agent isn’t going to come to NY. TWO would though. Durant won’t go to NY just to play with Porzingis and their top draft pick. He would however go to NY if Kyrie was going too along with a top 3 draft pick. 

They must feel two big FAs/top 3 pick/Smith is their target. 

Not to mention, Porzingis may be hurt worse than they thought. Or they didn’t want to risk that he wasn’t the same player he was before the injury. Who knows

I get your point. Maybe they're banking on Durant wanting to come there and bring Kyrie with him vs playing with Porzingis. I think Kyrie is a hell of a player but god damn he can be a head case. 

I wonder what Zion is thinking. Potentially being drafted to New York to play with a couple other superstars.

Lakers have given them 5 different options for trade

ESPN reporting on Porzingas injury and where he’s at currently 

“he’s shooting 3’s and dunking”

Lol he’s 6’15...if he has 1/2 of a healthy leg with tippy toe ability you could say the same 

hot taek: Kyrie is traded before deadline

Not sure anyone would be dumb enough to trade for him without knowing what he’s going to do in the summer. 5 month rental? No thanks. 

Pretty cool to have Dirk and Wade play in the all star game one last time.
