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

Ben realizing he shoulda stayed in Philly.

Ben is super happy right now. Living in New York while playing for an irrelevant team where no one will notice? that's his dream scenario bro.

John collins still want a trade, hawks can still do something

 

[Moheezy]

I have my money on Portland. I feel like they can give a very compelling offer of young talent (Simons and Sharpe) + draft picks

Going from starring with Adam Sandler to being waived. Cold world.

 

[getback]

EYE BEEN TRYNA TELL YALL lol

Harden and Embiid knew about this from the jump

Who is Jack Settleman?

Woj on ESPN2, moments ago:

“It’s very likely not only KD, but Kyrie Irving, have played their last games for the Nets.”

Inevitable if KD's out

Starting to sound like even his boy's been getting sick of him

Right. I keep seeing people say "Poor Ben Simmons" as if he gives a flying **** whats happening with KD and Kyrie

 

[Blue Mamba]

Like someone mentioned KD probably feels a huge amount of pressure now that the Warriors won a title without him

Need Uncle Phil to come out and get the team out of Jodi's incompetent hands if we want a real shot at KD.

Nah this is what he wants. He had no desire to be there or be with Joel

 

[tay1]

KD going from playing with Steph and arguably being 1A, to the disaster of the Nets, to being traded again is pathetic. Should’ve just stayed with Steph n em.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Phx is def the move if they give up picks too

 

[shuges]

One of my favorite days in all of sports. NBA free agent frenzy. Love it.

This is what I typed before I left the house.

I return home to absolute chaos.

And as a fan of the Nets, this is not exactly what I had in mind.

The face you make when you hear your star player wants to leave town:

 

[paulwest1985]

Sun's/Heat would be the perfect fit for KD.

 

[pmatic]

Funniest thing about all this is the Nets trading a 2023 first for Royce O'Neal only for Kevin Durant to walk into the office minutes later and want out.

 

[moe200069]

when brooklyn inevitably trades kyrie to the lakers for westbrook’s expiring contract, it’s gonna be like watching 90s hoop seeing ben and russ passing up open 3s to take contested layups

 

[Blue Mamba]

 

[ballinsam23]

Dolan won.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Definitely taking a potential Portland package over DeAndre Ayton if I'm Brooklyn

 

[pmatic]

 

[Benny Hinn]

Myrie and KD should've just went to the Knicks from the jump. Wouldve owned the city. KD with 2 bone headed decisions in his career

 

[Spectacular23]

Dolan won.

yes we did

 

[moe200069]

Bo Santa Cruz Warriors otw!

 

[DLF]

simple excercise:

Eliminate any team that has given up their future picks already

Miwakee
Lakers
Clippers
Hawks
Nuggets

Whatever team wants him will have to give up 2023 2025 2027 2029 first rounders and pick swaps in 2024 2026 2028 plus matching salaries.

Miami- edit: remove Miami! They only have 2027 and 2029.

Phoenix
Dallas
Portland

Have their picks and a few players.

Only exception is a team like warriors who have 3 lottery players on their roster that can act like picks
