2022 NBA Offseason Thread: Preseason kicks off; Things are fine in Los Angeles, Draymond beats the charges

[addict4sneakers]

I cant even argue. This man Sam literally signs g league bums then when they overperform (a credit to Mark D’s coaching), cuts them and signs bummier bums. See Olivier Sarr last season

I still need Wemby in OKC though. Me and @a-friend and @storm2006 will fatten him up. They bought to open a Rodizio Grill Brazillian Steakhouse just North of the arena on Sheridan. Next door to Crabtown no less.

Scoot’s good and I believe in BPA but then the fit starts to get muddy. If we’re at 2 that is, addict4sneakers at 4 or 5 who do we take, a tein or Lively? Try to pair it with any and everyone on the roster to move up?

BPA. I could see them drafting Nick smith jr

I fw it but they did Cleveland 2 #1s in 3 yrs after LeBron left, it always seems to align with storylines (buy the Pelicans you get a Zion with it) but OKc hadnt drafted #2 since 09 before this yr

Remember when Sarr did this and OKC won Presti cut him that same night and signed Frazier Jr. Told him leave your credentials, clear out your locker on the way out. Emailed I.T told them disable all his accounts

Lakers kept their picks at ended up at #2 three years in a row.

I don't think the worst team has picked #1 since they flattened the odds.

2019 was kinda wild. New Orleans and Memphis jumped 6 and 7 spots respectively to end up @ 1 and 2.

 

[HOU$TON]

Yeah the worst record is bad luck now with the flattened odds. Rockets picked #2 and 3 after back to back worst finishes.

Oddly enough the team with the #7 odds jumps into the top 4 a lot now

 

[P C H]

This is charlotte's chance. Wemby time.

By the time Melo comes back they may legit be 0-10

 

[DLF]

Having worst record guarentees you a top 4 pick though. Second worst a top 6th pick etc

Having worst record guarentees you a top 4 pick though. Second worst a top 6th pick etc

That's cool if you legitimately a bad basketball team but otherwise you wasted players entire season to draft a dude that might be on his way outta the league after his rookie contract.

Makes sense. They’re still tryna tank this year. A contender will pick him up.

Spoiler

you called that one

Wembanyama must be going around breaking everyone's bones and ligaments the way these reports are coming and the season aint even started yet

 

[pmatic]

Would make sense for San Antonio to roll the dice on Madelon. Tony Parker connection and their only PG on the roster right now is Tre Jones.

 

[DLF]

Russ for Hayward Oubre and 2 seconds.

 

[Moheezy]

I low key want the Hornets to tank and land Vic. He and Melo would be so much fun to watch.

I wouldn’t mind the Spurs either.

 

[Moheezy]

No way the Thunder let themselves only be 5th worst. Its gonna get nasty real quick, bench warmers from the G league getting call ups, shutting down rookies for mysteriously injuries and ailments (pretty much like last season), but Sam aint about to lose a race to the bottom i guarantee nobody else is bolder to engineer losses

How is this measured? How are the Celtics on top and Suns so high?
