**OFFICIAL 2019 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD**

[N41D]

Hart was barely a passable rotation player in LA. The hype he got as a trade chip from Laker fans was wild funny.

Zo’s going to be a weird fit as a potential starter forever until he can shoot a basketball. He does a lot of stuff well but a guard that can’t shoot playing 30+ minutes a night is a hard place to be in this NBA.

 

[MajinZuub]

If you expect him to not miss ~15 games again then idk what to say.

He missed closer to 30 last year.

 

[ballinsam23]

The spurs won 48 and were bottom 5 in makes and attempts.

Thats the Spurs. With arguably the greatest coach and system ever.

Even if Zion comes in and does not miss a beat, winning 45 games will be ridiculously hard. Hell a near prime AD barely made the playoffs.

 

[MVP]

Lol at Zo not starting

 

[ballinsam23]

He missed closer to 30 last year.

Its what happens when you get older. You stop exerting energy and defense, take more games off, miss games due to random injuries. Thats why i'm not as high on the Lakers as most.

 

[N41D]

Hell a near prime AD barely made the playoffs.

That’s because he’s a fraud tho.

Hart was playing injured all year. It's wild that Nola didn't even do any physicals because all 3 of them had major injuries last season

Starting over who?

 

[ballinsam23]

Lol at Zo not starting

JJ didnt go to NO to come off the bench.

That 2nd unit is mediocre at best, Zo will come off the bench.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Booty fade/NAW/Hayes/Hart >>> the spurs bench

 

[DCAllAfrican]

 

[whitemamba27]

wizards been playing the wrong sport this whole time

 

[addict4sneakers]

Free Bradley Beal

 

[freeze]

The new court/arena is tough. That San Francisco part looks weak doh. Not feeling that.

 

[buc em]

Replace Lebron with Jrue. Do they make the playoffs in the West? Nah.

Bron
Reddick
Ingram
Zion
Favors

Lonzo
JJ
LeBron
Zion
Favors

Hart
NAW
Moore
Ingram
Hayes

Yes, they’d be making the playoffs.

 

[ballinsam23]

Y’all really relying on 3 rookies to be part of a rotation of a playoff team. Wild stuff.

 

[Fozz]

Yeah, not really a fan of the San Francisco on the court. I was hoping they'd use a different color than yellow. But whatever.

 

[Based Jesus]

Arena looks alright. The actual court itself looks trash

 

[Moheezy]

Lebron couldnt win 40 games with a similar roster. A team starting 2 rookies definitely wont either.

I said they'll be competitive, not necessarily win games. The team is just so young you don't know what to make of em.

Ingram and Lonzo were under bad management and bad coaching, this fresh start may be what they need (much like Dlo).

The only thing im sure of is that they will be fun to watch.

 

[friscostylez]

Lol at spending dat much time talking about the spurs

 

[jjs07]

Free Bradley Beal

Soon.

For sure he'll reject it...and for sure Tommy will move him before the deadline.

Wherever Beal goes, I'll be pulling for him. Wizards ruined Wall and I don't want to see the same thing happen to Beal. He deserves every chance to compete for a championship, so I hope the team does right by him and puts him in a good situation via trade.

In 1988, Michael Jordan won Defensive Player of the Year AND averaged 35 ppg.

No other player has ever won DPOY and averaged 30 ppg in a season.

In fact, no other DPOY winner has averaged 30 in ANY season across their career.

That same year, Jordan also collected every major individual accolade:

- MVP
- Defensive Player of the Year
- All-NBA First Team
- All-Star Starter
- All-Star Game MVP
- Slam Dunk Champion
- Scoring Leader
- Steals Leader

To top it off, he didn't miss a single game.

Pels, Nuggets maybe blazers? Kings got some pieces. Hmm

Nuggets would probably put him on the closest path (out of the 3 u mentioned) to competing for a championship.

It's gonna be interesting to see what Shep does, and if Beal is moved, the type of return he'll bring.

The Blazers need a star SF or PF in order for them to be anything more than what they’ve been the last 5 years. Not another guard.
