**OFFICIAL 2019 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD**

[Kinfolk]

OKC needs to go after Kevin Love to make this more entertaining

OKC is dead until those picks manifest.

Congrats Clips fans. Knicks should learn a thing or two from ya'll. When a star is rumored to come all season long, get that other star piece first.

Y’all still slandering Lawrence Frank?

I’m convinced that the lakers were the 3rd team/odd man out the entire time.

Kawhi and his camp were trying to orchestrate trades and moves for him to play with other superstars, whether it was for the clippers or the raptors.

And what did the lakers have? A 35 year old lebron who likes to coast during the regular season and Marcus camby with a jumpshot?

He was never going to the lakers bruh

Leverage play by Kawhi's camp to make sure the Clips pony'd up and did what they had to do for PG. I think he was going to the Clippers the entire time, Woj knew it and the Clips FO knew it.

"The Clippers are borderline arrogant with Kawhi in Playa Vista" - Marc Stein months back. Front office personnel had chances to take promotions with other teams and didn't because they knew.

The Clips didn't put their best foot forward in the Jimmy Butler sweepstakes w/Gallo because they knew about the PG thing. Raptors and Lakers were there for Leverage I think.

people tryna say the league is more balanced now

do they not understand golden state has two big trade chips in dangelo russell and draymond green?

that can create another big 3

The Lakers not getting everything they want, and this parity across the league is so beautiful. My eyes watered when I heard the Clipp news. This was well worth the wait. Thank you, Kawhi. Thank you.

League might actually be that thing people been talking about all these years now that the talent is spread out amongst couple teams which all got a legit shot at it

1 injury could be huge.. instead of the warriors having to have 2 of their big 4 go down AND specifically those 2 too plus other guys have other lingering things going too

Trade deadline moves are going be huge.. pelicans got pieces that could help playoff teams, OKC got Russ and adams they’ll move if they’re blowing it up along with other 2 guys they got

Which NTer is this?

 

[youngthundercat]

Lou, trez rolling, pg, kawhi and pat to close out games is about to silly.

Not trade it away

Nah I think the Knicks have to start being competitive. Stars aren't coming to 12 win teams. That's why I'm kind of encouraged with what they did this summer. Knicks won't make the playoffs but they should be a competent, 35 win team which is necessary to attract FA.

With only a year left, Draymond only has value to a contender. And aside from Westbrook, what star is available for Russell?

 

[Based Jesus]

The Lakers AND Russ got screwed in one swift go. This **** is like Christmas in July brehs.
I don't think it's medically acceptable for my **** to be this hard right now.
I'm bout to go have cake for breakfast and then call 911 if it doesnt go down in 4 hours.

Bro imagine taking the ball up the court and getting past Beverly playing full court defense just to have kawhi and George waiting for you

 

[lamekilla]

Clips have the best defensive starting 5 in the league now. Congratulations on your championship Clippers. Billy Crystal is about to get live AF at the parade.

 

[youngwolf]

I legit do not understand why the lakers are handing out 2 year deals. Apparently they must be throwing in the towel on free agents for next year

 

[Kinfolk]

Y’all still slandering Lawrence Frank?

Don’t misrepresent the facts lmao!

Sam Presti and PG made this possible.

Lawrence merely answered the phone.

Still a clown.

We not winning 35 games

But yeah, a foundation has to start being built. Go from 17 to 30 to 40 wins. Start showing players that there's progress being made.

And keep Dolan locked away with the band since he’s never gonna sell to us

 

[antidope]

Making a fake twitter and will be posting Giannis Lakers photoshops and gain notoriety.

 

[Moheezy]

Charlotte

Charlotte would be a perfect fit considering their aspirations of being mediocre.

We traded our best draft pick of the last 20 years for cap space and half the Knicks thread said it was an amazing deal, but hey...
