**OFFICIAL 2019 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD**

[sohi 23]

Woj isn’t plugged in with the Lakers like that. Dude on live TV straight making up **** now

i thought Woj doesnt know anything when it comes to the Lakers?

Which one is it?

Y’all funny.

All post-Unibrow trade, Woj did not list the Lakers as a Leonard destination. Not one time. He went out of way to not say their name lol.

Ask yourself this, what has changed in the last week? NOTHING. so why mention them now?

Woj is hedging in case Leonard does go the Lakers. That’s it.

All year long even cp3 stans were talking about how washed he was but now he would be a key component of the best team in the west? Hmmmm

Lebron is washed too. Having either as a 3rd option changes everything.

 

[blastercombo]

Rockets just this year were 2 games away from the Finals. What makes you think adding Jimmy Butler will make them trash?

CP3 is a yearly health issue. This team just got smoked by a KD’less GS. They’re more than “just one more” anything away from anything

 

[HIM]

Sixers fans were talmbout how Jimmy got a bad rap and he was actually a good lockerroom guy...now all of a sudden he’ll cause problems in Houston

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Lebron is washed too. Having either as a 3rd option changes everything.

Lol. So cp3 and Bron are on the same level now?

 

[MVP]

Probably not. Sixers had 2 guys who dominate the ball too and Jimmy was at times their best player. It'll work.

So CP0 is just going to stand in the corner?

Probably not. Sixers had 2 guys who dominate the ball too and Jimmy was at times their best player. It'll work.

It’s easier when one of the guys can’t shoot and the other who’s a big

 

[ballinsam23]

CP3 is a yearly health issue.

AD and Bron not yearly health issues at this point? The more stars you have the more load management you get.

 

[ballinsam23]

So CP0 is just going to stand in the corner?

Maybe if he's traded to the Lakers.

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Butler, CP3 & Harden is the perfect mix of personalities you want to create great team chemistry

 

[amitt5504]

Sixers fans were talmbout how Jimmy got a bad rap and he was actually a good lockerroom guy...now all of a sudden he’ll cause problems in Houston

We never said he was a malcontent. He would be with Harden who’s lazy without the ball and CP3 who’s a milk dud at this point

 

[OTG]

#FreeHarden

Would love to see him in ATL.

oh god no keep that man far away from us

Narratives

Yup

 

[blastercombo]

Bron? What? You watching basketball or something else? AD I’ll give you but he also plays for a trash team so if he’s just sitting out for extended periods I wouldn’t be surprised. CP3 is missing months every year.

 

[HIM]

This made you post in all caps? He still called it a two team race

 

[SpittaJetLife]

Jimmy Buckets a real one. Son will cuss out anyone

 

[Quincy McCall]

As bad as the Ariza takes last summer

 

[lawdog1]

Sick of all the rumors and speculation. Going on NBA News/social media blackout until FA period starts. See you ****ers on the 30th...

Spoiler

or in like an hour...

 

[ballinsam23]

The Lakers really want an easy route to the Finals with the Warriors out the picture. **** isnt so sweet.

Gotta stay healthy and make the playoffs first.

Unless LA gets that 3rd star....Utah, POR, HOU would all be legitimate threats.

 

[MVP]

AD and Bron not yearly health issues at this point? The more stars you have the more load management you get.

This year was obviously a weird one due to the trade stuff but AD played 75 games the previous 2 seasons, Bron had his first significant injury ever this past season. I don't think you can compare either of them to CP0.

 

[buc em]

Probably not. Sixers had 2 guys who dominate the ball too and Jimmy was at times their best player. It'll work.

The Sixers were the #1 passing team in the league last year and #2 passing team in the league this year behind the Warriors.

The Rockets were last in the league in passing last year and second to last behind only the Thunder this past year.

Good luck adding another extremely iso player to that and taking away your two best catch and shoot players.

 

[sohi 23]

This made you post in all caps? He still called it a two team race

Pretty sure this is the first time he said the Lakers have a shot. Why? What changed?

 

[MVP]

Maybe if he's traded to the Lakers.

So there were obviously issues with Harden/CP0 and the rest of the Rockets with how ball dominant Harden was last season. You add ANOTHER ball dominant guy in Butler so it's 3 dudes now on the floor that don't do anything when they don't have the ball in their hands and this is somehow supposed to work?

So again is Harden going to change his style of play?

Clearly catching and shooting didnt work for them the last 2 years.
