THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

[BIG LEEMELONE]

it’s 6:18 AM

Same old joke

 

[WASHED KING]

even all players.. give me 10 better than swirving

In no order...Bron, AD, Kawhi, Giannis, Harden, Dame, Luka, Embid, one-hand Steph, KD....Paul George probably is too....but if you say injured players don't count then yea I guess he's like 8 or 9.

 

[703 hwy]

they added a top 10 player in the league and everyone assumed their young talent would improve

Same thing that was expected in Boston

 

[antidope]

You're paid to play 82 games. Think of little Johnny who has tickets to the game on Wednesday.

His dad promised him he would see AD, HE PROMISED

Now Christmas is already ruined I hope Anthony Davis can sleep at night.

 

[Moheezy]

CJ McCollum for Tobias Harris makes both teams better.

Let’s make it happen.

I'd rather have Dlo but CJ ain't bad either.

Who's more valuable to this sixers team right now? Tobi or Horford?

Didn't Dlo play with Simmons in high school?

 

[Cashflow]

“But he’s the same player without the Lakers hate bias”

 

[getback]

A Tobias for CJ trade would help us immensely.

Why in the hell would the Blazers do this?

 

[JD617]

Imagine how many ACA shirts would be off right now if the Celtics were 4-6 and the Nets were 8-1.

 

[heelsandeers]

Why in the hell would the Blazers do this?

that's like 60% of the cap on two players

 

[B Sox]

Trading CJ for Tobias absolutely does not make Portland better

 

[xxpizzo]

sixers are in love with the 3 ball in which its not there specialty at all

tobias is waaay to inconsistent and if they not falling dude needs to figure out to work the mid range game more or just flat out taking it to the damn hole

im not ready to give up on him just yet though i can see the upside he brings but as of right now he aint worth that contract..

Imagine Hakeem Olajuwon sitting for 'shoulder soreness'

“But he’s the same player without the Lakers hate bias”

After the "wow" factor wore off, most fans began realizing BI is a low-efficiency chucker who happens to have the ultimate green-light for a bottom 5 team. He's a role player on a good team, not a #1 or #2 guy, he's Devin Booker-esque in that regard.

its hard to get good looks when you don’t have a PG

Boston has the best record in the NBA!

Also aren't CJ and Dame good homies? Trading CJ would be an excellent way of forcing Dame out the door.

Ingram has low efficiency? You literally just quoted a post showing how good his efficiency is

They’re both very valuable in their own ways but I think Horford just makes so many winning plays on both ends.

Simmons had 6 assist last night not the best but workable.. the 4 lousy TOs its unexcusable though

he drives and kicks out to open guys always dudes dont hit shots

 

[MVP]

Has Ben Simmons regressed? I know the coward still hasn't made a 3 yet.

Might have to slide to see Ice Trae on Sunday at Staples.

dame is locked in for 5 more season after this one. He ain’t going anywhere

Not sure if he regressed but he really hasn't improved either

I wouldn't underestimate the power of a disgruntled player, long term contract or not. Trading CJ would not be good for Portland.

“CJ is my brother, man. In the NBA you will see a lot of friendships that people make out to be more than they are, or what they want to believe they are. But me and CJ, we are really good friends. And that makes a difference when you are comfortable with someone and you want the best for them.’’

The seeds of this bond were planted before McCollum reached the NBA. Lillard, then a rookie with Portland, would text and talk with McCollum during his senior year at Lehigh.

In the two-plus years since McCollum has joined Lillard in Portland, the bond has taken root. Like the past two offseasons, they worked out together this summer in Portland, often followed by excursions to Oaks Park to roller skate and nights at various Portland area bowling alleys. They also vacationed together in Las Vegas and Los Angeles, and became so close that their mothers have become the best of friends.
