2021 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: Media Day...SHENANIGANS

[aquatic barefoot]

JJ retiring reminds me of this dude...

whatever happened to dude

That first gif always kills me:
-The boomer who stood up ready to throw hands
-The crowd in the back sick all hell
-Black dude to the right smiling like a psycho

Henderson’s troll game was ahead of its time.

Appreciated

Just wait til a month of the season goes by and you’re gonna have teams overachieve and believe they’re one piece away. Price of the brick going up

someone is gonna get desperate. Desperation isn’t happening when every team is 0-0

Sacramento Kings

 

[B Sox]

they might. Kira probably another year away which is cool. He’s like 20. I’d be tempted to start NAW but I’d go with hart since he’s going to compete on the glass and try to defend.

and I’m buying willie green. David Griffin trying to serenade that man Zion with pianos and books. No. That’s a 21 year old brotha. Good thing SVG did was make zion a playmaker.

30/8/5 season coming

NAW should be a perfect 6th man for this team. They should be more fun to watch this year, but I think competing for the play-in might be their ceiling.

This is how white people reacted to school committees issuing mask mandates

Sacramento Kings

Cleveland
Minnesota
GS
Orlando

All jokes aside, I’d happily take Deacon Isaac

 

[ill steelo]

Elite regular season player? Nah I don't about that.

6ers shoulda been ahead of this and they probably coulda traded him 2 years ago for Dame but now Simmons hype is down and Dame done went to another level.

4 years played, 3 all star games, 2 all defense 1st teams, had a higher career high than Tatum at one point. What are we saying here?

And why is Portland trading Dame in any season before he formally asks for it?

Same with Kuzma

Dudes ar gonna "spite" themselves into a First round exit

Cleveland already got 5 PFs

The idea of Isaac is better than Isaac at this point.

I’m still a believer. Elite defender when healthy and can shoot it. Ideally, we should be looking at a wing in any trade but I’m not against bringing in a point. I’m fully committed to letting Maxey cook

We must got different definitions for elite because elite to me is at least top 10-15. Ben ain't close to that. He's is a great defender and passer but his terrible flaws still show in the regular season. You still playing 4 on 5 depending on the opponent. Him and Tatum's career highs ain't close no more cuz Tatum has and wants to improve.

And I'm saying Philly shoulda pushed for that trade, what Portland decides is a different story.

 

[Mark Antony]

Unfortunate angling on that D on the soles.

jury still out on his shooting. All this Maltese talk and you want a wing?

A wing who can also play next to and behind Tobias

we all know Maltese a bucket but he gotta surpass good Dillon Brooks first

 

[finessence]

Ben Simmons and “elite” in the same sentence.....

Top 10-15 is….. top 10-15

225 jobs in the conference, 12 all star spots. If you repeatedly make that team you are…. Elite by the literal definition of the word.

To your trade point, that makes even less sense. Nobody is picking a guy #1 overall and trading him in year 3 after he won ROY, made the all star game, and the team was 1 game away from the conference finals.

Ehh that last all star appearance was as fugazi as it gets

He's an Elite defender. But also an Elite choker.

 

[lovehateself]

hes playing some elite hide and seek

 

[B Sox]

Elite probably isn't the proper term, but he is a very good regular season player. 16/8/8 and probably the best perimeter defender in the league. IN THE REGULAR SEASON.

 

[addict4sneakers]

ELITE SCAMMER

 

[Moheezy]

More chaos in New Orleans.

Finally some accountability. He's been regarded so highly because of the Championship run when LeBron was running the show and living off of that reputation. He's the Doc Rivers of GMs.

ELITE SCAMMER

Thought that was Tobias
