OFFICIAL NBA 2017-2018 Off-Season Thread

[DLF]

Giannis is under contract for 3 more full seasons in Milwaukee and would then be eligible for supermax. We'll have to wait a couple years to see if a Kawhi-esque situation comes up.

No sympathy for guys like that who signed extensions wanting to be loyal and then cry about it later

 

[addict4sneakers]

They’ve been an injured young core and their best player is still only 23.

what if the president of operations start calling him out ?

 

[HIM]

their best player is still only 23.

Unless you meant Jabari Parker

Young Giannis

“Young” serge

 

[nick.]

Is that the rookie-sophmore game?

Ibaka looks exactly the same

 

[HIM]

Fake news. Serge is like 22 in that pic. Giannis is like "18"

Here is Serge the year before he was in the NBA. He looks like a toddler.

Toddlers using razors?

 

[lovehateself]

23 jeer old toddler

Sam Presti fell for the baby face. Clearly has a thing against facial hair

The NBA’s Injury Problem

This puts Kawhi's situation in perspective for me. Spurs playing dirty trying to sick negative press on him by trying to guilt trip him into returning.

 

[Nike Jordan]

Still don't understand why every team needs to be built for winning Championships....
Just accept that Derozen is this generation's Richard Hamilton

Richard Hamilton has a ring though.

 

[Peep Game]

Ibaka came into the NBA at age 30

 

[lightweight champion]

So did Thon Maker

 

[kdslittlebro]

Just looking through some old ****. Imagine trading this guy a few months later



Over a few million. While also choosing Ibaka/Perkins

Idc how many yrs go by

 

[IATT]

how it took an injury to eric maynor for harden to get over 30 mins per, i'll never get

and why scotty and the team were sooo loyal to ole combat boots perkins, i'll never get

using the amnesty clause on perkins, always seemed like the obvious thing to do

 

[MVP]

Harden did the 1st of his many disappearing acts against Miami the next series. That put a seed of doubt into Presti's mind and the owner was cheap. Still no excuse for doing it though.

 

[pums]

At the end of the day Sam Presti was a KD a commitment away from a
Westbrook
Roberson
Durant
Horford
Adams
Oladipo
Ilyasova
Sabonis
Lineup KD really just didnt want to play with Russ .

 

[dman14]

Zero chance Giannis lasts three more years on the Bucks unless they make huge moves this summer....and I don’t see that happening.

thon and jabari (if they decide to drop the bag) would have to make leaps and actually surpass their ceilings/potential

All that matters

I'd say Presti was $5 million and a Perkins amnesty away from a career of KD/Harden/Russ

 

[kdslittlebro]

End of the day, Presti thought he was RC Buford and all his players were international players who would fall in line. Him and the cheap *** owner been getting humbled ever since.

Notice all the overpaying since then

 

[buc em]

Yeah that ain’t happening

Jabari is gone this summer

**** will forever haunt that franchise....it should be a 30 for 30

gave James MFing Harden up for Jeremy Lamb and Kelvin Martin.

martin came over and immediately thought he shouldve been the 2nd option.

 

[fac3 tak30v312]

Richard Hamilton has a ring though.

Which is why they got Serge ... Just looking at their lineup screams '04 Pistons. Lowry, Serge and Derozen in place of Wallace, Hamilton and Billups.. Too bad Valacunias and Ibaka can't fill the Rasheed's and Ben's shoes
