NBA Offseason 2019

lol at the Pacers deal for PG now. This just pisses me off more about the Cavs and Irving trade. smh Koby Altman is a piece of garbage for a GM.

Boogie to the Lakers on a 1 year deal. Blah. 

And now Rondo on a 2 year deal. I don’t mind him, but 2 years sucks. 

Boogie there to give rest to AD, or McGee?

I’m confused by this. You saying Pacers got robbed or did the robbery?

Sam Presti is a genius. He started with Serge Ibaka and ended with this haul.

I'm saying OKC took the pacers behind the woodshed. Very similar to how the celtics fucked the cavs in the Irving trade.

Lol...Pacers got an All-NBA player and Domantas Sabonis. Then went on to have a better season. You’re honestly the first person I’ve heard not say the exact opposite.

I think he trades Westbrook too and will have a few more unprotected firsts to play with.

Pacers took a risk and ended up with a good player. Literally no one, not even O's mom thought he would have as good of a season as he did. Look at what the Pelicans got for AD, who publicly requested a trade AND said only to LA. Look at what PG went for 18 months later. Pacers didn't do Koby Altman bad, but it's definitely a lop sided trade IMO. You're being too kind to the Pacers GM IMO.

PG was also a rental (in theory). Oladipo had shown lots of flashes in Orlando he could blossom. He and Sabonis are and were better than any of the players New Orleans just got imo, though I do think Lonzo can be a real asset. And those picks might end up trash.

I dunno, everyone’s all excited about picks and unprotected this and blah. I’d take a guy who has shown he can be the best player on the floor in an NBA game over what’s likely to be picks in the 20s.

Like the Thunder...all those picks, will any of them help? Unless they flip them for a player, I bet not. Maybe they hit on 1. But Clippers won’t be on lottery anytime soon with those picks and the Heat probably going to land RW and in a hilarious turn of events fuck themselves on those picks lol.

Ah man....Bill Russell doesn’t look to be doing very well

What a fucking drama queen. Just when you want to give him some respect who pulls that nonsense.

in other news, Westbrook traded to the Rockets for Chris Paul.

Lol Houston. There isn’t enough basketball for Russ and Harden. Good luck with that. 

WOW. How is Russ and Harden gonna work out?

Wonder if they finish it all up and add BJ Mullens back to their reunion 😀

Paul will inevitably become a Laker, in my opinion, as will Melo.  Hot Taek
