**OFFICIAL 2019 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD**

[gaiiige]

SHAMS:

The Bulls are expected to express early interest in free-agent forward Julius Randle, league sources said.

The Lakers have serious interest in Nets restricted free agent D’Angelo Russell, L.A.’s former No. 2 overall pick and former starting point guard, league sources said.

One team that should express interest in Harris should they miss out on Kawhi Leonard, according to league sources: The Clippers.

Thompson wants to remain with the Warriors, but has been open to speaking with the Los Angeles Clippers if talks break off with Golden State, sources said.

Durant has said publicly and privately that he will not be recruited to a team and will sit with his inner circle to determine his next move, a similar approach to the one LeBron James took last offseason when he did not personally meet with any team and decided on the Los Angeles Lakers.

How anyone can still take morey seriously is beyond me.

 

[pmatic]

Yep. Given what's went down this summer, adding Jimmy to Harden and CP3 suggest that they're going to bend a bit on the Isocentric stuff.

I think the opposite.

Gives the team another iso option that happens to be 6'8.

I swear this was my initial thought when the rumor surfaced

Egos aside...it doesn't make basketball sense to me at all

 

[buc em]

CP headed to philly.

Have you actually heard this or are you just throwing that out there cause of these Jimmy sign and trade reports?

They been after him since last season for this exact reason. Wouldn't disturb their "offensive philosophy" and gives them a stopper on defense with switchability.

Melo is complex: he’s black and Puerto Rican, from NYC and from Baltimore and part of the Banana Boat Crew, but wasn’t on the Banana Boat...

 

[MVP]

I haven't seen D'Lo linked to any other team besides the Lakers or Nets should Myrie have a sudden change of heart.

Nobody's gonna talk about how this is the same thing as when KD went to the warriors? Figures

Why Melo explaining zhit his wife should already know? "Tryna fix his inner issues with a bad *****"

Melo is bascially a darker @Hahahaha with a jump shot

 

[QU!K]

 

[dman14]

Run it back

marc would've been lucky to get 4 yrs/25 mil if he opted out given his age
this was a no brainer

Lowe said it’s out in the open that Minnesota and it’s new GM/FO is going hard after Dlo. He’s not sure how they clear space. Towns also explicitly said in an interview he wants him in Minnesota badly.

Phx is always linked to him as well because of Booker.

Other than that don’t see many options. Indiana wants Rubio. Utah got Conley. Knicks want to preserve cap space. Maybe Boston?

 

[MVP]

Lol at Kanter & Bron

 

[703 hwy]

If Harden and CP3 don't get along what makes you think locker room cancer Jimmy will improve the situation. Disaster waiting to happen.

I guess folks are assuming that CP3 won't be back

 

[QU!K]

Knicks not in for Kemba?

He can make up some of that supermax money in endorsements

Minnesota is unlikely to be able to move the contracts necessary to get him. PHX apparently isn't interested. Celtics could be an option. What I'm getting at though is Lakers may not have any competition for him should he want to return and may be able to bring him in at less than his max number.

 

[kingjay718]

Uhh...look at her

They literally have the exact same face

 

[ballinsam23]

The Clippers wont be going after Tobias Harris.

Doc Rivers literally said verbatim that he felt once he got traded they became a better team.
