**OFFICIAL 2019 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD**

[Vincent Van Goat]

For what it’s worth, I heard Jerry West interviewed on the radio this morning and he said he very little to do with the Kawhi signing and PG trade. Just gave his “2 cents” here and there. According to the logo, it was all Larry Frank and Mike Winger.

True sign of a goat

but he still getting all the credit

Who created the Crenshaw design? It’s lowkey genius.

So this guy on IG made the mock up. I saw the post a few days ago and hit him up. He said he just made it on his CPU and it was not something for sale.

Amazing with all the NT detectives around here, I can't believe so many people really thought The Lakers or Nike had anything to do with it...

NAW and Brandon Clarke going to make a lot of GM's sad

Put it like this. If the clippers wanted to trade both Kawhi and PG right now, you think SGA Gallo and picks would get it done? **** nah man . It was two separate events. Yall can spin it if you want but that's just a fact

Jerry is smart enough to not do that same trade if Leonard was not coming. Don't know how that isn't obvious but alright

If a team took both Beal and Wall, you can't really beat that so yeah. But expirings for Bradley Beal<< Beasley/Harris and picks

The biggest factor would be taking on Wall's contract. Would allow them to rebuild immediately whereas if they still had wall they would be stuck in no man's land. Then they could still flip Gallo and Adams if they wanted plus have whatever picks they could get from okc's stash

Can’t think of a time you didn’t like the Grizzlies prior to the season

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Clarke's awkwardness on the mic is a perfect mix of Tim Duncan and Brook Lopez

Lebron def carried himself like the greatest high school prospect ever.

Really had it all. Poise, charisma, maturity at that age.

18 year old Bron was cool in my book

That shot he took at smush tho

BIG LEEMELONE Gonna try to say Kawhi had nothing to do with the PG trade but then he’ll tell us Kawhi only came here because of PG

Bruh, why you getting sensitive? Our non-Rob Pelinka front office wanted Marcus Morris and just lucked into Kawhi and Paul George. It’s also guaranteed that one of the pics we gave to OKC will be the next MJ or LeBron. It is what it is.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

I don't see Kawhi's name in there

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Was surprised to see Westbrook at 58% at the rim last year (42% of his shots were attempted there), especially after the knee procedure. Didn't think it was even that high

Even though Gordon would like to playmake in his own right, he and Westbrook should play the majority of their minutes sharing the floor, maybe even throw in PJ -- to stand in the corner. Harden can stagger with everyone else and keep his usage

 

[Mike dunleavy]

Kawhi leaving after two years
PG ain't **** in the playoffs ever since he blew a 26pt lead to lebron and the washed crew

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

My last word on the matter. You'll never hear me say that the Lakers traded Ingram, Zo, Josh Hart and 3 picks for Anthony Davis, Lebron James, Danny green, avery Bradley, DeMarcus cousins, Quinn cook, troy Daniels, Rajon rondo, Jared Dudley, javale McGee and KCP. Because that would be disingenuous. And that's not what I do.

I'll leave that to you clipper fans.

Interesting. Zion is an 81 overall in 2k20.

All the other rookies are in the 70s. Ja Morant is a 79.

 

[Clyde Frog]

Had a fun time watching this following that interview.

 

[hand2handking]

ja should be 84 zion 85 rj 82

carsen edwards 77 3p 80

 

[everysingletime]

Had a fun time watching this following that interview.

After watching this I'm even more disappointed in Ben Simmons. He has the potential to be like Lebron was but because of his inability to shoot he's not even as good as 18 yr old Lebron.

Ben Simmons isnt close lol

 

[everysingletime]

18 yr old Lebron had the fadeaway, the pull up 3 and a pull up 15 in his arsenal already. He just wasn't as consistent at it as prime Bron.

Meanwhile ppl leaving 22 yr old Ben Simmons open 24/7.

This is pathetic.
