The Official Off-Season NBA Thread

[HOU$TON]

See? Houston Rockets fans man. They turned on their Messiah, then they gassed up and turned on Christian Wood.

I’m looking out for harden by lowering the expectations lol. Just 2 weeks ago it was finals or bust for Philly. Now some people will be surprised if they make it out the first round vs Toronto. That’s a reasonable goal for harden to clear

They turned on KPJR in a matter of weeks

Wizards, yes.
Lakers. No way. He’s been through enough.

Fultz mental not right to be playing back home in DC, they’ll make a whole campaign bout up coming back …Needs to be somewhere random n irrelevant like Orlando, Sac, OKC, Portland etc…But the bigger thing is staying healthy n playing with confidence no matter where yo at

 

[frshstunna]

Magic are a weird team. Bunch of young guys, but no one I feel comfortable building around.

They haven’t had that since Dwight was there…They either miss out on the “elite” prospects by drafting just outside that range or double up on solid/high level role player types at the same position…Combo of bad luck and not taking many chances

 

[Based Jesus]

The Lakers screwed up as soon as they let Jared Dudley be involved in the process at all

 

[earldagoat]

 

[lovehateself]

jared dudley shouldve been offered a coaching position
he wouldve been the one to call players meetings
him or rondo, but then they traded away rondo...who mightve dotted up rust up

 

[iheartboost]

As arrogant as Westbrook is, this sounds even beyond him. Hell no I believe this

 

[RustyShackleford]

Damn, it is still nasty in here

Y'all gonna force me to start burning some of my bereavement leave too.

This reads like a Ballsack Sports quote

For real though, with as bad as he'd been this season on the court and his terrible attitude off the court, I wouldn't be surprised if Russ is completely out of the like (a la Carmelo) after his contract is up. No team is trying to deal with this behavior.

Obviously no title contending team would want him and even bad teams wouldn't want an inefficient, ball dominant player with a terrible attitude.

Oh he’s done. I said this in like November. It’s a wrap.

He MIGHT be able to get 1 year deal at like 8 million when the he becomes a free agent. That’s the most he can hope for.

He’s going to have way worse than Melo. Melo for all his faults could still shoot.

He’ll get an okc retirement tour for sure

 

[pmatic]

He's gonna get traded this summer, bought-out then go back to DC.

That article in the LA Times is ugly. 90% of the blame placed on Rust. No mention of AD taking steps back. A couple of lines about Bron not playing defense.

Him and Vogel the clear scapegoats, but that was sealed before the season even started…Real nastee stuff from management and the supposed “leaders” of the team that were already there

Why tho?

OKC are trying to grow. They have good young pieces. Why do that?

I can see him signing a one day deal to retire as a Thunder tho. I get that. A full year tho? Nah. No purpose.

There’s been situations where guys have signed one-day contracts at the end of their careers with they team they started with in order to retire as a member of that team. I doubt Russ is ready for that move yet though.

 

[Coupé It]

Let’s go DC!!! Go Wiz!!

 

[iamjusayn]

Go back to basketball Stephen A.

Thunder v Lakers matchup includes a Bedlam (Oklahoma State vs Oklahoma University) rematch #405standup @a-friend

Lmfao!

He gone clam up and play worse like Stanley did now that he has an official deal.

Only reason he came to LA was to get paid off media. Bruh a clown!

Bron got locked up scored zilch versus centennial for a very meaningful game. He a super glorified Jeffrey Jordan.

I don’t think he’ll do it right away either tho. I meant down the line.

He won’t do it right away because Russ still thinks he “has it”….

But as far as OKC just taking him in to play full time. Nah, I don’t see Presti doing that.
