**OFFICIAL 2019 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD**

[Maximus Meridius]

Earthquake got you shook

See you ain't deny it

This move makes your Rockets basically irrelevant and your warriors are looking funny. Already got your leggings on walking up to Kawhi and PG.

 

[B Sox]

But why for the Bulls?

Depends on how desperate they are to be relevant again. They've been looking for a franchise PG for years.

I know I personally wouldn't want Russ and that contract, but Bulls FO could think that Russ/LaVine/Lauri/WCJ could make some noise in the East.

 

[Moheezy]

I mean...he did just lead the raptors to a title, so...Yep

Exactly, he grew from the player he was in San Antonio, if people will keep mentioning who he was as a player with the Spurs and questioning his leadership abilities, the. They’re just being ignorant.

 

[trynafeelmink]

Looks like stalking him paid off.

Ya hate to see it trynafeelmink

I'll Keep it 100, Your Incel of a owner pulled it off Kawhi is the goods congratulations. I was All fine with PG even after he spurned the Lakers..... but now

Also for the Rest of ALA i'm just gonna leave ya'll a couple of key words to offset ya'll slander

Kemba, Bobby Portis, Windows Closed & building on fire

 

[dman14]

does he get to keep the key to the city?

 

[ny mavurs]

I’m assuming murals of Kawhi won’t be ruined in LA...

 

[pmatic]

If the finals prove anything over and over again it is how important having depth and shooting is.

Lakers threw all their eggs into this basket. Could’ve easily built a very very good team with that money.

Now they won’t even be a top 4 seed. I got $100 on that.

Danny Green is the perfect intersection of talent + fit in the free agency market for the Lakers.

Only other "realistic" guys on the market (besides my bias for D'Lo) I would have liked were Pat Beverly and Reggie Bullock.

 

[100027]

I don’t buy that bro, what makes Russ better than ratsull? Especially going forward

Going forward is an open question because we don't know how much Russell is going to improve. If he makes another big leap (possible but not guaranteed) than sure. But right now Westbrook just makes a much bigger impact on the game. He's great at drawing fouls and getting to the bucket which DeAngelo does not do. I actually think both are pretty talented though flawed playmakers, who have the potential to improve in the right system.

He's a really bad shooter, but he'd be next to Steph and Klay.

I'm almost talking myself into it now.

 

[g-time]

I'll be here all day

You have no choice. Knicks can’t give you any entertainment lol

I’ll cash app you a stack right now if you quote me saying I’m a clipper fan now that they have Kawhi and PG

 

[Moheezy]

Any chance the Clippers change their branding?

It’s been three years and I still cringe whenever I see their logo. Come to think of it, Kawhi must really like the logo. Lol

Those earned jerseys were fire though. I hope they stick to those.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Why wouldn't any team want two guys that could put the ball in the hole and defend?

Where did I say a team shouldn't get them? The Clippers had no choice but to do what Kawhi ask. I said they play similar styles. If one of them could play the Point IMO it would work better.

 

[B Sox]

It would be interesting. The lineup doesn't really make sense, but then again it doesn't make sense for DLo either. Russ is still a better player than DLo. I know we love to clown him, but he is.

Mostly I just want to see the pain it would cause OKC.

Golden State's whole mantra is ball movement and shooting. Russ doesn't check either of those boxes.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Of course you ain't gon say it now.


We'll see you start to twerk over to them as the season plays out.

 

[trynafeelmink]

Boardman what could've been... now you a opp

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Whomever is dumb enough to take Westbrook and that contract will set their franchise back several years

 

[SplinterMatic319]

When Kawhi wins his 3rd chip/3rd FMVP next year, I'm ready to proclaim him better than Bron in all time rankings.

F Bron Bron

Except they now have depth... and shooting

Yeah I'll take bets on that as well if anybody is up for it.

You bring up valid points but Westbrook’s shooting, inefficiency and shot selection are a lot more hurtful to a team than ratsulls inability to get to the line

Warriors struggled with steph as the only shooter on the floor and without klay for several months they’d be in an even worse position with Westbrook instead of ratsull

KCP is a shooter that can’t shoot. As of right now y’all only have Danny Green.

I'll gladly take you and Vincent Van Goat 's money after the Lakers sign boogie

B Sox too

Lakers window ever open?

You have no choice. Knicks can’t give you any entertainment lol

I'd rather build organically than trade the farm for 46 wins.

 

[TrafficLightBully]

Can’t lie I would love Westbrook on the Knicks lol... Dolan to dumb to make that happen without giving up everyone though

 

[Kinfolk]

Lost in all of this is that the Rockets are almost irrelevant.
