**OFFICIAL 2019 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD**

[pmatic]

Yep, the NBA only enforces fines on NBA teams when they make illegal contact with a player or make an inappropriate comment.

Kyrie said on a podcast awhile back All-Star Weekend is a hub for player recruiting.

Need to see Fox and Luka in the all star game for the cultch

Don't see it happening this year unfortunately, but the Rising Stars game is going to be good times.

Need to see Fox and Luka in the all star game for the cultch

Neither one is getting in.

Clippers aren’t tampering because they haven’t actually said anything about any players publicly, at least that I’m aware of. They’re front office guys can go to whatever games they want.

Kawhi didn’t even know who Lawrence Frank was until like last week...someone told him and he said, “oh, that’s who that is? He’s at a lot of our games...” LOL.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Where was this outrage when LeBron said he wanted to play with melo?

Team USA too.

 

[keko jones]

The outrage at the outage of Lebron saying he would love to play with the best player in the world.

LoL

Dude love the easiest route, so you already know any good players hit the FA, he wants them on his team.

That’s Chris Paul contract looking amazing

aging like milk

 

[B Sox]

Chris Paul contract is awful, but I'm not really sure what other choice Houston had after last year.

 

[drewsone]

Bron saying "yeah playing with AD would be dope" when asked about if he would like to play with AD is tampering

Vet minimum

Right. I don't think anyone thought the contract was ideal, but no one offered / is offering any alternatives to what the Rockets could have done.

blog Boys extraordinaire podcast dunc'd on is back at it apparently Luka is already a top three prospect in the league under 23... So in 25 games he's paased Tatum, Mitchell, Simmons, & countless others...

 

[sohi 23]

Simmons has Luka as like the 6th player in his trade value rankings

 

[addict4sneakers]

bill simmons

 

[addict4sneakers]

I’d take Luka over Mitchell for sure though. Probably Ben too

 

[HIM]

You can't tamper as a player, no? Tampering is only for the franchise?

LeBron is the franchise

 

[geno90221]

If it wasn’t tampering for Melo then
it should’ be for AD....

4th Ring Comin


I hope

 

[amitt5504]

I’d take Luka over Mitchell for sure though. Probably Ben too

If Luka is a less athletic Ben with a jumper, imagine Ben with a jumper

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Luka is fun to watch. Likeable. Not a ho

 

[keko jones]

So not like Bron. Got it.

 

[B Sox]

Simmons has Luka as like the 6th player in his trade value rankings

Haven't read the column yet, but I do know he takes the actual contracts into consideration. Being able to have Luka for 3 more years on a rookie contract and then having the option to hold onto him for another 3+ years as a RFA would make him pretty valuable, IMO.

 

[pmatic]

Luka is producing at a high volume in his first year on a rookie contract. Yeah, of course he's going to be high in the list.

Where is JJJ listed on the future player rankings?
