**OFFICIAL 2019 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD**

I just saw that if mavs finish bottom 5, they keep their pick from the luka - trae deal

 

[lawdog1]

Would y'all take him into cap space like JVG suggested? He gets to stay in LA and A&R and stuff to his content while not having the pressure of having to win. Everybody wins. Send Jerry the proposal.

We’ll let you know after we see where Kawhi and KD end up...

It conveys over to next year I think unprotected

So mavs would retain their pick this year, and then next year hawks would get the mavs first round pick regardless of where it is?

Dallas' 1st round pick to Atlanta protected for selections 1-5 in 2019, 1-5 in 2020, 1-3 in 2021 and 1-3 in 2022 and unprotected in 2023

It's safe to say that both teams won this deal. Who woulda thought?

 

[Bert.]

Oh yeah, based on how they’ve been playing lately, I’d give them a 50/50 chance against the Pacers.

Pistons been on fire but no way they can keep it up to April

Who’s more athletic in you guys opinion, LSU/Orlando Magic Shaquille, or Embiid???

Orlando Shaq

Not a single lie by JVG was told.

Mark Jackson making damn sure them receipts is very public.

It does. Worse draft class it seems, so probably best if it works out that way.

U serious?

 

[numbah1grimey]

Bron ‘pose to lift up KCP of all players and Lonzo...

C’mon man. KCP still on work release. Other than Kidman and Engram, what y’all thought bron was gone do?

 

[numbah1grimey]

U serious?

I’m just a fan bro

 

[MVP]

That was my first though. Mark Jackson been campaigning for the job for years now. He couldn't even refute anything JVG said. Conversely JVG wants no part of the open coaching job to come.

 

[lawdog1]

LSU/Orlando Shaq was a different kind of beast. Some of the lobs he used to put down after he would spin baseline out of the post were insane...

clippers made playoffs over lakers?! haha way to end your finals steak lebron. you couldnt lead your team to playoffs and clips with no allstars? make playoffs lol wow. from 2nd best team in nba last year to 2nd best team in LA #failure #shame

no one thought that would happen....why? they assumed lebron would play at his usual 1st team all nba level.....that streak is also over,,,,

 

[P C H]

*shrugs* I don't think trading Lebron solves the Lakers problems. Again, he's not perfect, and he is stat padding to a degree,

but he's been All NBA level good this season. Trading LBJ isn't going to solve the problems with the training staff, with player development, and front office ineptness.

Thomas Bryant, D'Lo, Julius, Zu, grabbing Zo instead of DAF or Jayson, etc. they have real front office issues that are to me being highlighted because Lebron is what...the fifth best player in the league right now? The issues go way beyond Lebron for them.

Shut up

 

[geno90221]

Trading Bron is the dumbest thing JVG has ever said...

Man this isn’t a remotely close discussion

Thank you for those insights, Comrade...

 

[Air273]

" Trading Bron is the dumbest thing JVG has ever said..."

i think JVG is smart enough to see what lakers fans and magic dont at this point.....lakers are looking at real possibility that they strike out trading for AD and getting free agents.......if that happens do you think lebron and the lakers will want the marriage to continue, to again miss playoffs? lakers would be better off trading him IF they get no free agents.....


nah i'm not going to shut up....love it that NOW laker fans are saying we didnt have expectations for this season we were waiting for free agents as ANYONE thought this season would be such a failure....LOL CLIPPERS ARE BETTER WOW......jerry west gonna get KD and leonard and spit on the lakers grave hahaha

 

[Moheezy]

Who’s more athletic in you guys opinion, LSU/Orlando Magic Shaquille, or Embiid???

No question Orlando Shaq

 

[MajinZuub]

I just realized NT dislikes Drummond so much that he isn’t ever talked about in here

 

[Air273]

edit: from 2nd best team in NBA last year to 4th best team in California(Arnold voice)

 

[amitt5504]

Some of these foul calls lol

JJ needs to be playing on 15 mins if he’s gonna remain trash
