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

lolclippers

i dont believe the clips are gonna blow it up, not for a second

yeah theres no reason really.

yeah they can reasonably expect to make the conference finals at least

like, theyre the #3 team in the west at least, got a megabillionaire owner, a title-winning coach, 3 all-nba players, 2nd biggest nba market and just stomped on the lakers as the premier socal franchise, and theyre just gonna split bc...cant get past the 2nd rd? like they dont have a good shot at it this year?

I guess the concern troll here is that cp may be in decline shortly, Blake needs psychological help + is extremely juicy, doc just gave his kid a huge allowance bump, hack a deandre is boring, might as well get value while you can because you're not plowing over the dubrants any time soon

but that is a v hinkian view of things

obv a bit of a gamble when youre an injury or two away from the finals

"When you get to college, they're never teaching you how to start a credit line or get a loan on a car, things of that nature."

What Happens to the Tons of Material That Go Into the RNC in Cleveland?

Carpenters and electricians are racing to transform the inside of Quicken Loans Arena from a basketball venue to a political epicenter by Monday.

Dave O’Neil is deputy press secretary for the RNC.

“We have about 125,000 balloons that will drop and need to be cleaned up. We have about 1,000 pounds of confetti that will be dropped and need to be cleaned up. All of that material, the paper ... for handouts and things of that nature, it won’t simply be thrown away; it will be recycled.”

lmao

"He's been true to himself. I read an article yesterday -- I don't do that very often because most of what you all write is junk so I don't read it much --

fuckin groaned when he compared duncan to anthony bourdain

lolz

haha I def did some eye rolling at a few parts

Question: Any games stick out?

"No, not really. I remember a pretty neat summer league game when he first came in. [Greg] Ostertag blocked his shot. That was pretty cool."

jaylen brown w 20-10-2-4-1 (v hardenesque 12 points at the line)

he is a lot to deal with barreling into the paint (he also misses a LOT of layups)

this will essentially eliminate hack a imo

not sure about the inbounding foul rule though, doesnt really seem necessary

teams will still prob hack situationally but yeah hacking before youre in the penalty is dicey

Has Simmons at least hit the rim on a shot from outside 8 feet yet in the summer league?

haha yes its in the title as an anomaly

poll

“What I’m hearing in Las Vegas from some GMs, not only are they hearing that Westbrook will get traded, it’s that it will be sooner rather than later — before the season starts — and the most likely destination is the Boston Celtics,” Beck said in a Bleacher Report video.

assurances abt resigning obvs the big prob for anyone wanting to trade for russ

doesnt seem like the most "boston guy"

tho good team/org/coach can go a long way

lakers think they cn sign him next year but does he really want to start over w a young team

tho that math wld change if they cn get him + another star

doesnt seem like the most "boston guy"

wow racist

I am v into Ingram but yeah it'd be a weird fit for quite a few years

what do you think the celtics would give back in a trade? brown and IT? would that be too much?

young guys + nets picks, prob try to hold onto IT
