It's definitely gonna be bananas with the amount of $$$ out there and a bunch of asset-hoarding teams ready to strike, plus the arms race at the top is going to be just as intense as last year regardless who wins the finals

ya what if dubs/spurs/thunder just add more quality dudes

everyone else stuck on the sidelines

seems like the thunder are pretty much set but the spurs could make some big moves, or may be forced to. def interesting to see what the warriors do on the margins too.

Like conley-green-kawhi-aldridge-duncan, with Gasol and Parker off the bench? Wooooo

ehh duncans cooked and horford is better than conley, gasol is kinda a wild card but also old injury prone and one of the worst defenders in the league and who know if they cn actually get him at a discount so lets ignore him for a moment, theyre gonna have to fill one starting spot w a mle type, you have flexibility with aldridge and kawhi positionally so that slot cld be any of 1-3-4-5, guess it just depends on who u cn get, i like horford over conley the big risk there is u cld be left w not enough ballhandling/playmaking, either of them wld prob be p great anyway, thats one of those good problems

Dubs could lose a lot of reg season rotations guys. mo, barbosa, #maxbarnes, festus, rush,

barnes is for sure bouncing. they'll prob keep ezili knowing bogut is gone in a year. they should be able to find replacements for the others pretty easily.

warriors have said they will match barnes but i bet that's lip service unless the only offers that come in are similar to what they offered last year. but he may want to bounce anyway

he's gonna get $20 million a year and they're not gonna pay it

would be so weird to have barnes be the highest paid warrior

pretty curious to see what barnes does on another team

underachieves

stands bolt upright with an astonished look on his face

yeah the answer is: nothing

this thing happened where he was an insanely hyped phenom compared to kobe and then it turned out he was just a nice guy and nice player who wasn't dominant even in college but then he got drafted by a team that could make ideal use of his skills and personality so he went from mild disappointment w/ unfulfilled potential to perfectly cast roleplayer on a dynasty. but now he's about to make $20 million a year and the perception will flip back to disappointment who should do more with his skills.

on the bright side he'll be rich as shit

lets play the who will overpay barnes game... dallas?

i remember him having some insane dunks but yeah he's going to be real bad on a bad team

he has one good dunk a year and then never drives again, or when he does he avoids contact. i feel like he plays not to get injured. doesnt utilize his athleticism at all

hes a stiff in the literal sense m/l seems like he cld use some yoga/imagination

remember when he did the splits last year and everyone thought his groin ripped.

oof

dallas could def be it if parsons leaves

jae crowder's contract looking better and better all the time

ha yeah srsly

barnes is the jeff green that people like (jeff green is the jeff green that people hate)

jeff green used to be liked! barnes is just earlier on the career path, but yes otm

something for the spurs to consider is how well pau prepares for all eventualities

cant say hes not prepared

spurs don't even bother signing pau they just harvest his sperm to create the third gasol

fairly certain the third gasol is the promised sign of the apocalyse

there is actually a third gasol hes prob like 20 now guess hes not good at basketball tho

there is another

xp

welp, off to the bunker

whole gasol family is insanely wise

Not so much when it comes to "honoring" Chinese people though.

true, hopefully they have learned and grown from that bad act

Haha I skimmed through that and his favorite player right now is vucevic (implied bc he dunked on Pau this year)

spurs don't even bother signing pau they just harvest his sperm to create the third gasol

there's an ocean's 14 spec in here. like cloon, pop, buford + Spurs roster breaking into a high security sperm bank so they can clone a tall spaniard

figured the lakers would be more likely to do this
