**OFFICIAL 2019 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD**

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Don’t worry, OKC’s roster going get a lot worse

Yea they're better off trying to move Gallo asap before the season. He'll either get hurt or come crashing back to earth. I think Adams sticks around until December 15th at least. And they might swap cp for dragic which is a lateral move at this point

 

[Tony $now]

I’m legit shocked people have the W’s finishing at the bottom of the West and some even have them missing the playoffs

Y’all are delusional. At worst they will be a 5th seed.

Walking bucket

I don't even like Boston but props to that kid he came to play. Looks like he might have a chip on his shoulder and wanted to let teams know they F-ed up passing on him.

They don't even have one tbh. Russ already on a steep decline. Good luck moving either one of those contracts

I think everyone has a 2 year window to be honest except maybe Brooklyn and Bucks. LeBron has to win in the next two years or it is over, Kawhi and PG have a good shot that third year with majority of duos aging out or being in markets that can't land big players (Portland, Utah). Dallas will be a major hurdle.

 

[B Sox]

Harden will be getting a lot of hockey assists I feel like. Harden iso-ing and finding Westbrook who catches and attacks and finds open guy for 3 with defense rotating and out of position.

 

[Mike dunleavy]

Even so, he does it better than Chris Paul.

Touche

 

[MVP]

Harden is a next level passer compared to Russ.

Nah

 

[jc619er]

Are they gonna flip a coin every game to see who gets to shoot 30 times that night. I don't get this pairing. Might be the first time we see two players on the same team throw hands at each other mid game.

League is gonna put steph in a pick N roll for 48 minutes straight and 82 times this season

 

[Mike dunleavy]

Next level passer

 

[Deleted member 170883]

no one wants to play with cp0rings

 

[Tony $now]

League is gonna put steph in a pick N roll for 48 minutes straight and 82 times this season

 

[CDFTDOT]

At least now, Russ has shooters that he can kick it to.
Or, he has the option of throwing it to Capela with a lob.

 

[Mike dunleavy]

He needs to ice those legs and chill no reason to put more mileage this season without klay.

 

[Deleted member 170883]

warriors will be 3rd seed. curry will win his 3rd mvp. dlo mip. dray dpoy. ya gonna be in shambles

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

And harden won't have any type of spacing if he's on ball with Russ and capela out there. He has to play off ball for them to work

 

[B Sox]

Outside of Draymond, they are going to be without their 3 best defenders from last year (Klay, KD, Iggy). They are going to be food defensively night in night out.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

So they can get switched onto Dray and Looney?

Outside of Draymond, they are going to be without their 3 best defenders from last year (Klay, KD, Iggy). They are going to be food defensively night in night out.

Their defense was mid last year too tho. You can survive in the regular season with bad defense if your offense is good enough. It's the playoffs where you get exposed

 

[MVP]

He regressed alot in that area this year

He actually didn't though. The % of him finishing we're almost identical from '18 to '19 at 50% and both resulting in 8 ppg. His midrange which he'd been remarkably good at over his career is the area that completely fell off the cliff last season. And if that comes back that'd be huge for HOU.

 

[CDFTDOT]

Is Uncle Ray still with OKC?
OKC gonna have the Thickest backcourt in the league.

 

[suavamente]

yup.

& are we really sure Denver will be a top 4 seed?

 

[MVP]

And harden won't have any type of spacing if he's on ball with Russ and capela out there. He has to play off ball for them to work

This is obvious but I get laughing emojis

I think they try to move cp0 right away, maybe package Roberson with him..

Then I could see couple more guys going at deadline.. patterson could have some value to a playoff team and only has a year on his deal.. I assume a playoff team comes calling for Adams.. if Roberson can show he’s healthy, he could add value to playoff team.. I wouldn’t rule out Schroder getting moved to a team needing a PG

SGA and Ferguson probably the only safe ones and they’ll get heavy mins

 

[titang545]

Morey had to make this move. Their window was closed shut after everybody else's moves and now it's slightly ajar. The most pressure is on Pringles though to now craft a system that maximizes both of these talents cause now instead of 1 Harden you basically have 2 but one that can't shoot in Russ. Just looking at it from the outside Harden going to have to be the one to relinquish the reigns and let Russ handle the ball more.

Dude had me confused for a minute, I was like why is he talking about Joe Ingles. Then I was like Pringles. Light bulb.

Mike D is who you were calling Pringles.

how that worked out for cp0ring. russ getting waived mid season

 

[bballkid11]

After thinkin about it, CP probly plays this season in OKC...buyout is unlikely and the trade market looking slim ...The Thunder need a big name to sell to the fans this year and CP known and still loved from his previous time there

He will be in Miami
