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

brown is so crazy athletic i have a hard time seeing him being a flat bust in the current nba

i like the brown pick, i liked bender too tho, mostly just disappointed the celtics cldnt put a trade together

ainge in denial that draft picks never gonna be worth more than right before it was spent

Danny Ainge stressed to @Toucherandrich #Celtics are not done and there's still PLENTY of time for a trade this offseason.

still think they shdve taken the noel deal but maybe his health is too worrisome or something

if they had a deal to get noel for the other draft picks aside from the #3 i would have done it

the deal as reported was the #3 for noel covington and two picks in the 20s

yeah maybe idk i guess i've never been a huge oladipo fan. i don't think backcourt defense was really at the forefront of okc's problems.

i think if you switched out ibaka for oladipo in the west finals they don't get any better and perhaps a bit worse but presti's trades seem better with time so

imo this is right. roberson was v good defensively and had a game or two where he could hit shots. the success of this trade will be based on whether sabonis develops into a rotation player.

yeah this was not that good a deal although picking 23, 24, 26 they could have gotten a whole new frontcourt for the maine red claws

i like noel a lot i might have done that but the medical stuff is def a question

now that hinkie is gone danny is the new Trust the Process and with the nets moving into tank mode they'll prob have another very high pick in what could be a (dramatic pause) very good draft next year

ya prob what it came down to if he were totally healthy itd be a no brainer imo xp

nets choosing to blow it up for draft picks instead of put together a not quite terrible team from free agents is truly mana from heaven

Anyone know about the two dudes the warriors got? Damian Jones at 30 and Pat MCcaw at 38

I watched highlights and what not, seem good on the surface, but wondering if anyone has an inside track on them

this is basically true, although at least the celtics can like, try to win games (and succeed) in the interim, which philly wouldn't and brooklyn simply won't be able to (although they'll try bc they have no choice)

celtics are trusting a different process imo

its the what do u do with 25 players process

lol that's not even far off from the actual current roster counting all draft picks (22)

Kinda feel bad that the only guy from my high school to ever be drafted was drafted by the team that drafted every player on earth that year

The Wizards are reportedly prepared to offer Joakim Noah a 4 year, max contract worth around $120 million. Wow. (via @Mitch_Lawrence)

lol

this guys been hobbling around on one leg for two seasons gotta pull the trigger

WHAT

that'll lure durant

dc has legal weed

really hard to know what noah has left in the tank but uhhhhhh

and they already have gortot through 2019

all weeds illegal in the nba :[

not in the offseason

tru, think its prob p easy to avoid detection generally, until u get caught once

players shd get weed testing thrown out in the next cba, does the league even really care whos gonna go to war over the silly lil plant

like if bender came in and looked completely overmatch scared and clueless wld anyone be surprised, also if he had a better rookie season than the zinger

If he had a better rookie season than Porzingis it would be totally shocking

does anyone know anything about the greek guy the kings too lol vlade is really wilding

Big solid stiff, not sure why they did that. It wasn't a bad pick in a vacuum.

Vlade compared him to WCS which is really weird

If he had a better rookie season than Porzingis it would be totally shocking

zingers season was... shocking...

i have no idea what to make of that ibaka deal. just two years ago, ibaka was the third part of their core. adams improved play + acquiring kanter + injuries put him on a v minor slide.

Is it that minor? He gets worse every year. His TS% has declined 3 straight years and his blk% 4 straight. And by significant amounts.

If he had a better rookie season than Porzingis it would be totally shocking

Haha yes. And an even younger guy doing it would be wild. I'd get suns gear.

dont be surprised a decapitation in the coming season tho youve been warned

Dubs ended up busier than I expected last night:

They only had one first round pick but ended up with three other players, two of which went undrafted. that 8 footer from UC Irvine that isnt any good but also Robert Carter Jr

they got two of the five from this list which means they will obv be all stars within a couple years:

I feel like they're letting Ezeli walk

Yeah seems like a foregone conclusion at this point

ppl speculating ibakas secretly old on twitter

sick of that shit, hella racist

apparently the theory has a wide following in the league

and fwiw there has been a fair amount of sports age fraud in some of the areas of africa where birth certificates arent routinely issued, iirc a good chunk of the nigerian youth soccer team got busted not long ago

I'm usually skeptical of such things but when a guy begins a steep decline at 24 with no major injuries...

People used to say the same thing about Mutombo but he was a rock for 15 years.

i feel like i've heard that shit about every basketball player from africa

Yeah it's like Europeans being soft.

Reminder that an American player lied about his age very recently (Shabazz Muhammad) and people were skeptical of Lebron.

I still don't know wtf Greg Oden's deal is
