naw they were really on a roll before roberson's injury

though the melo situation is tough yeah.

Just getting rid of melo and replacing his minutes with a random second round level talent would probably improve that team
The payroll stuff is hilarious though

I just like that mere minutes into free agency and the lakers already got clowned
― gritty tigger reboot (agent hibachi), Sunday, 1 July 2018 16:31 (six years ago) link
v real chance they could whiff on everyone but i'd still say their odds on favs for bron and maybe kawhi
― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Sunday, 1 July 2018 16:32 (six years ago) link
Ilyasova cracks me up that guy is the absolute exact level of talent where every coach and gm goes yeah I can use that guy and then he does nothing and ends up on another team two months later
― gritty tigger reboot (agent hibachi), Sunday, 1 July 2018 16:32 (six years ago) link
from the spurs perspective, gotta be good that both philly and lakers feel like threats to get bron. spurs know that whomever they trade mawhi to is prob going to get bron, too, so they are asking for a lot if they know the other team will sign both.

I know just let me enjoy the last day of pretending the lakers have to make lonzo the face of the franchise before lebron strolls in

roberson’s injury was pretty gruesome, i wouldn’t just assume he’s coming back 100%
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 1 July 2018 16:34 (six years ago) link
i don’t see how you could have any problem with the thunder re-signing PG... i mean, what else are they supposed to do? you gotta just figure it out from there
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 1 July 2018 16:36 (six years ago) link
lowe & arnovitz were speculating that maybe eventually they’d try and get rid of russ instead... that seems impossible to imagine to me but it tracks more along the lines of what i think is their intractable problem with his style of play as it applies to the playoffs
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 1 July 2018 16:37 (six years ago) link
trading russ seems impossibl now tho considering "me and russ are friends and i like playing with him was a big selling pt for PG
― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Sunday, 1 July 2018 16:43 (six years ago) link
kawhi to celtics confirmed jk
― sprout god (lag∞n), Sunday, 1 July 2018 19:00 (six years ago) link
OKC is truly stuck with Russ, but there are much worse albatrosses to have hanging around your neck.

spurs shd prob prefer to trade him to the celtics then since they wont get lebron (and arent in the western conf) tho then the celtics will be amazing but theyre gonna be amazing either way if u trade kawhi to philly or lakers and bron joins then youve created a new amazing team
― sprout god (lag∞n), Sunday, 1 July 2018 19:05 (six years ago) link
also the celtics shd be willing to give up a lot to prevent kawhi + bron going to philly
― sprout god (lag∞n), Sunday, 1 July 2018 19:06 (six years ago) link
really bron shd just go to LA and start drama and not be that good imho

celtics should not make any moves that they wouldn't make if philly didn't exist imo

Here's essence of Paul George's 4-year, 37M deal, w/ player option: New CBA allows George to extend after 2nd anniversary of deal. Extending on max w/ OKC after year 2, while also opting out of final year, could make this 7-year, https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/101350601393119641790M-plus deal based on future cap projections.— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) July 1, 2018
hope you all like the rwb pg okc it's gonna be around for a while

honestly those 2 and Steven Adams is a great core in a world where the warriors didn't happen

obviously they had to do it and pg should actually be tradable on this contract but nobody's going to tell me that this is good team-building because it hasn't been and won't be. they're going to have to get out of the tax eventually and the price to do so will be painful. but hey, if i was getting these kinds of props:
That's a real mental competitive advantage that I now give OKC. Paul George's multi-year commitment I feel has potential to be the glue that cements them as a TEAM. Trust levels bout to be way high this season for OKC.— Rosalyn Gold-Onwude (@ROSGO21) July 1, 2018
Impossible to overstate the significance of this level of commitment from Paul. Both he and Russ locked up for remainder of their primes & OKC can apply long-term vision while building mindfully around thier stars. Amazing family-first approach paid off https://t.co/CtHDAHvX5p— David Griffin (@dg_riff) July 1, 2018
This is a massive, landmark achievement for the Thunder, and Sam Presti.— Royce Young (@royceyoung) July 1, 2018
just for retaining players, i wouldn't be too worried about actually winning either.

Rip Cavs and Marcos condolences although I’m sure Cavs fans were prepared

that he signed for 4 years instead of taking the 1+1 or whatever is pretty interesting... i guess it’s a recruitment strategy
― J0rdan S., Monday, 2 July 2018 00:35 (six years ago) link
spurs REALLY not going to want to trade kawhi to lakers unless they get the farm now. sixers might be even more inclined to trade more to get kawhi.
things i'm hoping for.

i think he was doing this with or without kawhi. the length of contract says to me he was willing to punt a year, recruit next summer, and try to win one in the third or fourth year of the contract

Other teams can offer more prob but won’t pull since he won’t commit long term anywhere else
