THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

[Moheezy]

I would also like to say that the following are the worst coaches and will probably see a change this offseason

1A. Luke
1B. Boylen (he won't get fired tho)
2. Monty Williams
3. Alvin Gentry

Honourable mention: Brett Brown, he's not a bad coach, but he's far from a championship coach.

 

[Moheezy]

I also pray that Luka Walton stays at least another year, that will ensure that Buddy Heild gets traded, ideally for Al Horford (whom the Kings pursued last summer).

An ideal trade scenario would be:

Sixers get Buddy
Kings get Al Horford and Brett Brown...

 

[wavycrocket]

Cp3 finally getting some love again. It’s good to see. A 6ft PG was a top 3-10 player in the league for a decade (07-1...and remained elite after that.

One of the most unluckiest players we’ve seen.

 

[pmatic]

A lot of coaching jobs will be open this spring, I think:

Nets, Knicks, Bulls, Sixers, Pelicans, Rockets, maybe the Pistons and Spurs since they are headed towards rebuilds

 

[D StaXX]

The early 90s was when the NBA was at its best in terms of talent...

I disagree. The league today is talented as it's ever been.

Y'all really gotta stop putting Al Horford in these trade scenarios

 

[yobyellav]

OK, so since Kawhi won rings against one super team and one partially injured super team, I’m giving him 3.25 adjusted NBA titles.

Be careful saying **** like this; adjusted titles may actually become a thing if that term ends up in the wrong hands.

We will do no such thing

I hope you're not talking about the 2014 washed Wade/Bosh Miami Heat being a super team. No "super team" becomes a 10th seed (in the east) with one of their players missing, like the Heat became in 2014-15 after LeBron left them.

And I don't know what you mean with a "partially injured" super team either. That's an oxymoron. A KD-Curry-Klay-Draymond superteam that suddenly becomes only a Curry-Draymond team is no longer a super team. It's barely a team. Especially when Draymond became a bum version of his previous self.

Imagine giving up 4 FRPs and being worse than the team you traded with.

FVV and Gasol out, East player pf the week Powell goes down after two minutes, 2nd night of a back to back on the road against the streaking 4 seed in the West and the Raps still get the W...

Can't tell me Nurse isn't COTY

Spicy P with an almost triple double

Man dem

Lol. I'd easily take the 5k. 35 yr old, with no comorbidities, I'll take my chances.

If Giannis is out for a few weeks, Raptors might mess around and grab that 1 seed.

“I definitely feel like I am in max contract contention. If I finish this season averaging 20 and 10, the other guys who are averaging 20 and 10 are max-caliber guys. I’m in that conversation and feel like I am worthy of being extended as such. That’s for the Hawks to decide and figure it out. If you want to look at numbers and flat-out play, I definitely feel like I’ve earned it. But the team situation, future cap and all that, now you have a contract negotiation.”

Inside John Collins’ mind before a pivotal offseason for him and the Hawks

Collins has played well since returning from an early suspension, and he is looking forward to the next step for him and for his team.

That's a no for me dog.

 

[B Sox]

I like Collins, but maxing a guy that should be playing C but will actually be playing PF that can't defend, as well as a PG that is the worst defender in the sport doesn't sound great.

it's actually trading first round picks in 2024 and 2026 only.
