The Official Off-Season NBA Thread

[pmatic]

A packet of documents was leaked to me, along with confirmation that top ESPN NBA newsbreaker Adrian Wojnarowski sends them to agents and NBA team employees, as part of a personal campaign.

These packets have been sent out to potential sources, presumably to argue why one should leak news to Wojnarowski versus sending news to his rivals.

its the old music piano in the background for me

These have been funny

all those moves would be carries in 1950's basketball.
the lane would be smaller, there would be zero space and no 3 point line.
small guards are significantly less effective.

So 1950's basketball rules?
I think im rolling with the Dolph man.

Tobias Harris: full time leader, part time elite scammer

This is what you're supposed to do/say in situations like this. Does Tobias believe any of this ****? Hell no, man

But he's sticking with his teammate and not allowing the media to create a "fight"

These have been funny

You and I agree on something. Let's leave it at that for the rest of the day? k Cool

Ah, yeah found the part I was missing:

The Sixers have been fining Simmons for missing games, practices and meetings -- nearing $2 million this season -- but there is a provision in the collective bargaining agreement that protects players' salary for failing to render services "if such failure has been caused by the player's mental disability."

Yup.

There plan A failed, but looks like plan B will work. Ben get's his bread back, sits out indefinitely. Morey is ******. Klutch wins.

Woj da influencer bout to release Woj bomb merch

 

[had pants]

Either Ben matured in the last few hours or he just wants his money
I like to think the best of people so I think Ben just wants his money

 

[osh kosh bosh]

It's easy to look back at those 50s clips and laugh.

but there is a reason Michael Jordan went 3rd in the draft.


nobody ever won anything with small perimeter players,
the league was dominated by centers for like 70% of it's existence.

 

[iheartboost]

Shams glow up got Woj tight.

 

[amitt5504]

Yup.

That’s fair but the timing again is suspect. All the team has to do is the prove they offered mental support and the support was denied

 

[pums]

Comparing players playing different positions is tough comparing players 60 years apart and playing diffrent positions is crazy

Smaller lanes, No 3-pt line, no shot clock, no goaltending etc

I still think Kyrie was a more physically gifted than everyone else and would have these guys on skates.

Gotta respect the consistency for your brand. It's mind boggling but kudos.

so? skates to where? there like 8 people in the lane?

 

[Hank Scorpio]

He's not wrong though. Before MJ, the league was dominated by Centers.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

what do people think is going to happen?

Kyrie get's transported to the 1950's you can't carry the basketball so he can't do 98% of his moves.

and there are 8 people within 5 feet of the basket, you think he's dominating the league, why?

over wilt, over Russell?

 

[pums]

Its crazy to be an all time great as a gaurd tbh during an era with no three point line and strict dribbling rules

No, we transport these racist white guys to 2021 and have them play Kyrie. Boom!

 

[osh kosh bosh]

people just don't want to use their brains, they want to laugh at black an white clips.
human beings aren't fundamentally different than they were in the 1950's

less led poison and better nutrition, yes but all of that is environmental.


why should Kyrie get extra credit because he lucky to be born in the right era?

geno90221 where the ladies at man. Save me from the Bob sugar of 50s basketball

 

[osh kosh bosh]

My only point is;

I think it's really dumb to discredit people for factors that have nothing to do with their athletic ability, innate talent or work ethic ect.

it would be stupid to do a 75 best players and half of it be dudes from 2020's
