2021 nba offseason draft free agency etc

if artest has figured anything out then good for him but he'll always be a stay away for me

ppl love to get amped up about sports docs thatre just normal tv shows

it's about equivalent to a really awful episode of behind the music? no one really comes out of it looking good. i did enjoy everyone getting petty about artest basically skipping town a year later xps

also when a piece of entertainment's charming center is reggie miller...................

i watched it and thought it would be good for non-hoop heads like us. like people that barely know about it beyond that there was a big fight its some good baseline knowledge and footage. i thought the ron artest doc was better and a lot of the same stuff was in that. oneal kinda made this seem like some big revelation about his side of the story but its just like yeah he punched a dude in somewhat self defense and got his suspension down from 25 to 15 games or whatever and that was about it...

lol i just watched this tonight too. didn't really learn anything, i thnk spottie otm that hoop fanatics are not the target audience.

The Lakers have agreed to trade Marc Gasol, a 2024 second-round pick and cash to the Grizzlies for the draft rights to Wang Zhelin, sources tell ESPN. Deal saves Lakers $10M. Gasol and Grizzlies will work together on waiver and release to allow him to remain in Spain w/ family.

nice, retire a grizz. seemed like he had a little more to give but prob wasnt cool only playing 12-15 min per game.

damn gasol done i guess

lakers getting rid of their one back up center who can reasonably shoot the ball in order to have deandre jordan and dwight howard i’m sure this will work out well

Sept. 10, 2021. For Immediate Release: The Lakers would like to welcome the newest member to their family of corporate sponsors: August Storck KG, proud makers of Werther's Original.

i feel like the subtext of this is that marc will do the igoudala, ariza thing and see if anyone wants to get him around the trade deadline

makes a lot of sense for old guys to not play a whole season

he should go to the nuggs

retirements are only as real as you want them to be

He’s such an obvious fit with the Nuggets. Connelly clearly wants a backup 7 footer, hence the McGee trade.

he's def the kind of back up 5 they should be signing

makes a lot of sense. take a 5-6 month break then hop on with the right fit for one last ride.

idk "remain in spain" could just mean.....remaining in spain

that too is an option lol.

thats what i would do spain is sweet

otm

i'm in spain rn it rocks

I support gasol to the nuggets!

watched the Safdie Brothers doc about Lenny Cooke last night; it is a beautifully done bummer.

i loved that movie

you really the difference in internal drive between lenny and the talented ballers in the movie who made it

the difference between HS and the NBA is the difference between being senior class president or being POTUS.

it's really well edited. can't imagine how much shit they had to stumble through to capture this guy in perfect slacker mode.

good luck

Sources: John Wall, Houston Rockets meet and mutually agree to work together on finding a new home for the five-time All-Star guard. Plan is for Wall to be present at training camp, but not play in Rockets games this season.

"Sources said there are no buyout plans on the two years and $91.7 million remaining on Wall’s contract"

Are the thunder under the salary floor still

lol well done

Haaaahha

You have not affected the winning percentage of this team.

4/92 extendo for aaron gordon

i guess they prob had no choice after the trade. pretty surprised they gave him a player option

yeesh. player option?

Really crazy money but I guess they’re sick of having to think about this position

just seems like they’re paying for the idea of it working before it actually does. sometimes this stuff works out but it’s scary

yeah conceptually he seems like the right guy but he was pretty bad last year needs to do more stuff

yeah, if you're looking for further development i just don't think it's going to happen at this point

i think they'll continue to be a strong regular season team and he'll prob work fairly well for them in that context. but the playoffs are a different ball of wax so we won't really know until we know

murray really needs to be playing for gordon to make sense

They were willing to pay Jerami Grant 20m a year and Gordon is slightly better than Grant so I guess from their perspective it’s just a reload on that

is gordon better than jerami grant

Yeah I think so. Grant is just such a bad rebounder

To be clear I think they’re both overpaid
