**OFFICIAL 2019 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD**

[alchemist iq]

You gotta play the full sequence of this scene.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Not top 4

I could see Houston finishing 5th and I'd bet they wouldn't finish worse than that as currently constructed

DEN, POR, LAC, UTA could def finish ahead of them

 

[Nipsey3000]

Serious question, who defends and slows down AD if dude stays healthy and plays 70+ games?

Who's done it in past years?

AD has only played 70+ games 2x

 

[casper90403]

Honestly were the Lakers ever in consideration? Feels like Clippers or Raptors for him in hindsight.
Probably goes back to Toronto if Clips didn’t pull off the George deal.

depends who you ask........

 

[Lizakers]

New Balance kept it locked on where Kawhi was going until today when they shock dropped these this morning

Most people here could’ve done that mock up in seconds. It’s like Nike ID.

GSW
DEN

at a team with bron and AD not being top 3 in the west. y’all gotta stop trolling

 

[MVP]

No, they wouldn't be favorites. We know what the ceiling is on the Russ/George combo.

In the West sure. Road to prosperity is a lot easier in the East. You only got Philly and Milwaukee to deal with.

 

[P C H]

The fully healthy warriors couldn’t stop Lou / Trez PnR and now you support that with Kawhi ******* Leonard and Paul George?

Yeah can we get to the playoffs already because sheesh.

 

[Moheezy]

Ibaka and Gasol going to be on the block now. Wonder where they end up....

I would also argue that their values are at their peak right now.

I wonder what the raps will do this season, is it a write off? Or will they still try to compete?

 

[wavycrocket]

at a team with bron and AD not being top 3 in the west. y’all gotta stop trolling

46-48 win team with those two, plus schedule, plus chemistry, plus entire roster turnover, plus load management etc.

According to the all knowing Woj yes. If the Clippers don't get PG, Kawhi is a Laker today.

 

[Thats My Word]

Who is going to play on Christmas day?

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

at a team with bron and AD not being top 3 in the west. y’all gotta stop trolling

I'd take this bet right now, no waiting @tay1 @BIG LEEMELONE $200 barring any unforeseen trade

 

[P C H]

As for the Lakers, It boils down to LBJ’s health

He misses significant time and...nvm

 

[titang545]

Difference between LeBron fans and Laker fans.

LeBron Fans

TRUE Laker Fans

I am SUPER HAPPY for Kawhi for moving like that, I have been a Laker fan long before LeBron came. However seeing all his little ***** *** fans come to my team repping so hard. It is a glorious day seeing his fans have a nervous breakdown. I am already on the lookout for a Leonard jersey. The Lakers organization was way to cocky this entire move and I am glad it came back to bite them.

 

[casper90403]

The fully healthy warriors couldn’t stop Lou / Trez PnR and now you support that with Kawhi ****ing Leonard and Paul George?

Yeah can we get to the playoffs already because sheesh.

basketball Gods, bless us with this health.

 

[aepps20]

Glad the league is balanced again. Kawhi made a good decision. Interesting how him and PG will fit but I will take a wait and see approach before making record proclamations as who knows how these teams will play.

 

[shotsrangout]

46-48 win team with those two, plus schedule, plus chemistry, plus entire roster turnover, plus load management etc.

yeah no

top 3 in the west barring injuries. bron is still bron and AD when healthy is a top 3 player in the league. stop it already

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Why did Massi turn that deal down? I like Pascal but sheesh you'd still be favorites in the East next season and PG and Russ are locked up until 2021 at least.

Are you crazy?

-We'd have to gut the team to take those guys
- It wouldn't make us contenders
-Westbrook contract is easily one of the 5 worst contracts.

 

[MVP]

West standings

Let's wager on LAL not being a top 3 team $200

 

[blastercombo]

Lakers still a good team. Just not cakewalk status. Once again Kiwi does things his way. Can’t be mad
