Official 2017 NBA Offseason Thread: Media Days begin

The Boston Celtics have had a tricky time nailing down a meeting with free agent Blake Griffin because of clashing priorities, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. The source told MassLive.com Friday afternoon that Griffin is said to prefer exploring his options early in the free agency period. That has made things difficult with the Celtics, who have other priorities, like the pursuit of Gordon Hayward and potentially a trade for Paul George. – via Booth Newspapers

There really is no alternative for the Pelicans. There's not a better option available. 

 

[P C H]

Lol they have to do it. They have no money to give anything noteworthy to anyone else and they aren't tanking, they're trying to put the best team possible around Boogie and AD. They kind of have to.

I get the feeling that Ainge is going to **** this all up and end up with nothing

The 1980s are long gone bro.

When that movie was made TriBeCa was a cheap neighborhood.

 

[casper90403]

in just one off season, Conley's deal looking good now.

 

[Peep Game]

If Miles Plumlee can get 52 mil after going from 3 to 5ppg, Jrue Holiday at 34 mil a year doesn't seem out of the norm

Queens is still booty brah. It's not the Bronx but still booty unless we're talking parts of Astoria/LIC

If Chandler Parsons can get $100 Ms .....

Watched a documentary on the Rockets earlier, learned 3 things:
Didn't know Hakeem had a temper problem at one point and slapped Vernon maxwell in the locker room.

Didn't know Vernon maxwell quit after the first game of the 95 playoffs disgraceful.

Definitely didn't know Rudy T got knocked out on the court and almost died due to spinal fluid leakage

Watched another on Bill russell and dude is the epitome of the term living legend.

He was a certified goon before Islam

I never knew.

Oh, another one I forgot to list:
Hakeem didn't play basketball until his senior year. Once he started receiving recruitment letters, his parents were floored, they were like 'what kind of country gives scholarships for sports?'. I definitely get where they're coming from and I'm sure other countries feel this way also. If I'm not mistaken, Nigerians are big on education, so his parents probably felt like it's absurd to go to college for free because you're good at something that has nothing to do with education. I think the equivalent to that would be how American parents would react to their child getting a sex scholarship in some other country where porn is highly accepted we know it's enjoyable but how are you going to school with that.

Nah. Most of Queens is very nice if you're raising a family.

It's not for me but it's nice.

The Parsons deal still stinks though

 

[getback]

They must be legit scared that we're going to sign GH. We know we're the underdogs here, we have nothing to lose.

Yeah because Boston is in a terrible situation

 

[getback]

I think it's kind of funny someone living in mass is pounding on Florida so hard. Just a thought

Why's that? Everyone knows Florida is buns. Everyone.

You seem nervous. Got a lot riding on this offseason. Better hope you don't **** it up

Not really nervous. I hope they're able to do the PG13/Hayward thing, but if not...I mean it is what it is. Still gotta pay my bills and the Pats will already be 8-0 by the time the season starts.

Pats losing on Thursday October 5th

But Brady throwing 40 TD's for my fantasy team this year
