NBA 2018-2019

[Monster]

God fucking dammit. Now Grant's been traded to Denver. I loved that guy.

[Jason]

Nuggets continuing to add depth for a title run and OKC is in rebuild mode. It's just where we're at, right now. Wouldn't be surprised If Russ is traded tomorrow.

[Monster]

Russ is gone, just a matter of time. It never occurred to me we'd lose Grant though. Solid player and so fun to watch, and he's only gonna get better. Looks like Adams is all we'll have left by October.

[Headhunter]

Looks like they're dumping everybody making money. That repeater tax has you paying $2.50 per dollar and not many owners are willing to go there. Remember this is the same owner who didn't want to pay for James Harden.

A smart team should ask about Steven Adams. Celtics would make a lot of sense there.

[Headhunter]

Westbrook to Miami would make sense but they would not tolerate him doing his own thing for a second. They have always been serious under Riley about guys playing hard on defense all the time. The intensity is there, it's an intriguing fit but he would need to buy in and they'd at least be a team that makes the playoffs.

[Headhunter]

Russell Westbrook to Houston for Chris Paul and draft picks.

Westbrook/Harden combo sounds like such a disaster. Wonder who OKC flips CP3 to now.

[Jason]

Hurry, MX. Get a Chris Paul jersey!

[Headhunter]

They're already out there somewhere.

[Monster]

I remember going to see him play for the Hornets. That was a big deal for OKC. Right now CP is wishing to God he'd taken that deal LAC offered him.

[Headhunter]

Things really have not worked out for CP3, Blake and Jordan since they got shipped out and now the Clippers are much better.

[Jason]

Leave it to a big market team to go into rebuild mode and 17 months later abandon rebuild mode and become the favorites to win the Finals for the next 10 years.

[Headhunter]

Clippers built depth and draft capital trading CP3 and Blake, then had the picks and cap space to get two better players.

It's not hard to move the pieces into place but you have to have a good feeling about your ability to convince elite players to sign. Staying relevant by being competitive and running a stable organization help.

[Jason]

Blahblahblah. That's all big market gibberish.

Clippers, Lakers, Warriors, all must fall. The Nuggz shall restore peace to the NBA.

[Headhunter]

Does big market gibberish mean being able to sign good free agents? It does make a difference.

[Jason]

Good free agents often target big markets because they have all the money. It is the evil empire. Need good, young teams to dethrone the Goliaths before the young players get a stick up their ass and target big markets.

You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become Kevin Durant.

[Monster]

I'm stealing that last line, Jason.

There's a salary cap, it's not baseball.

I laughed

[Tiggnutz]

OKC should just trade Paul now to a contender Adams too. Should still be better than Washington though if that makes you feel better Monster

Basketball players are into commercializing themselves. Clothing lines, jersey sales, etc... No better place than big market cities. Especially California, and ESPECIALLY Loss Angeles.

Go ahead, faggots. Drink your Nike, wear your Powerade, won't make a damn day's difference when the Nuggets take you out.
