THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

[bostoiah]

Bruh Larry Sanders still getting 2M a year STILL?!?!?

Idk. Wiggins hasn’t shown he can shoot nor play defense

Ratsull and KAT are not ideal defensively, but are you that low on them being able to add defense?

How do you see gsw winning the deal exactly and how do you see Wiggins fitting in

All Wiggins has to do is be a better version of Harrison Barnes... maybe Draymond will work on his three this offseason as well

Celtics are 5-2 against the current top 4 seeds in the East and 2-2 against the current top 4 seeds in the West thus far. Haven't played the Rockets or Jazz yet though.

Lakers are 2-4 against current top 4 seeds in the West, and 2-3 against current top 4 seeds in the East.

Lakers have done a good job this year by not slipping against trash teams, which is commendable, but they've also been put in their place by the top tier teams in the league. Celtics seem to play up/down to their competition.

Again though, both teams going to go home before the finals.

The Lakers legit have the most wins against teams .500 or better, which oddly enough was a measuring stick when it looked like the Lakers were low in that category, then it comes out that they're actually tops in that category also.... like clockwork that statistic no longer matters.

Lakers only games where they haven't been in position to win with a few minutes left is the Sixers, Celtics, One Mavs game & Denver w/o AD.

Bucks game & Both Clippers games we were in great position to win & ya'll GOAT started doing that thing where he plays the crucial parts of the game like it's quarter 1 of an exhibition game.At this point i can't even be mad about it, because it's the **** I've been talking about his whole career.

That first round pick is top 3 protected and even if the wolves don’t make the playoffs I would say it’s a safe bet the pick won’t be a top 5 probably even top 10

It is reasonable to say the wolves need more pieces, which is why I was asking if you are that low on them adding to the roster

Definitely low on them adding to the roster. No one wants to play in Minnesota, so they have to hit on draft picks, which history shows they cant.

Does DLo really add 20 wins to that team?

 

[D StaXX]

We'd beat the brakes off y'all in the playoffs

I like this energy.

Mind boggling when you consider that he last played for the team 5 years ago!

Props for that. It's absolutely true.

It is also true that they have struggled against the teams that you would actually deem to be potential contenders.

Is that not fair? No one is saying the Lakers aren't good.

Much easier said than done. He's been a worse shooter and defender thus far.

Harrison Barnes could shoot and play defense on at least two positions. Wiggins guarding power forwards is questionable at best

Bron my dude but that live laugh love caption is for women who suffer with depression.

They can still trade culver down the road, Brooklyn’s pick or their own pick. Could keep Beasley and trade him later

 

[elpablo21]

Throw ya GM and former player under the bus at the same time

Nah lol Kemba gonna be playing and food on defense

 

[sohi 23]

If the warriors didn’t sign Dlo they would have had 0 chance to improve their roster.

it was the right move. Dlo knew what it was too. He legit only went there to get the max dollars. Don’t think Minnesota or Lakers were able to offer what GS could.

Dlo knew he would get traded eventually so take the Max contract offer and 6 month vacation in the bay.

For every team the C's lost to that they were supposed to beat, they've beaten a team they were supposed to lose to, according to NT. Bucks, Heat 2x, Denver, Lakers, Raptors 2x. They USUALLY take care of the junk teams.

It balances it out as usual. That's how it works. 72-10 and 73-9 seasons are rare. Unless you have a historically great season, you're gonna lose to some trash teams.

Celtics are on pace to do exactly what was expected of them.

Milwaukee is on its own tier head and shoulders above the rest of the east. The remaining good teams are pretty close. So the Celtics making the ECF wouldn't exactly be shocking. I wouldn't bet the house on it. But I wouldn't call it a cinderella story either.

DLo himself does not, but if they were to get somebody like Anthony Edwards in this draft, they could have a really solid foundation. Playoff team. Won't be a contender though in the foreseeable future unless they get a better #2 than DLo.

Beasley was low key a good pickup. Like his game.

I also remember Dlo talking about how excited he was about learning from Steph, his routines etc...I know they worked out closely in the summer.

I think Dlo learned a bit from that too.

They have to hit on draft picks and they have to develop right. Two things they can't do.

They need to follow the Raptors blue print if they want to achieve anything.

Streak ends tonight
