NBA 2019-2020

Cauley-Stein is a steal, but why do they need Glenn? Seems odd one especially after Russell. Is Livingston definitely off then?
Shaun Livingston will probably retire and the Dubs will most likely stretch his 2 million in guaranteed money over three years. If he doesn't retire (unlikely) they'll have to either waive him or trade him since they can't afford to pay him the rest of his money (about 5.5 million).
Yeah, defo but aren't there better options right now?

Kelly Oubre Jr, Hollis-Jefferson, etc?
Bit surprised about this one too (at least at this point when there are other seemingly better options) especially the 2nd year player option.

I'm still waiting to see if Jimmer gets a contract. If they could move the NBA to China he'd definitely be worth a punt.
 
Ben Simmons to sign a 5-year, $170million extension. I’m surprised teams are willing to commit so much ahead of time but then again he becomes a better asset because of it.

Philadelphia have a ton of money invested in Simmons, Embiid, Harris and Horford. They will be luxury team for a while with little ability to add any further to their starting five. I do like Butler for Richardson swap though, I think it is good for both teams involved. Miami will be more interesting than people realize.
Where's the outside shooting going to come from for the Sixers?

From how he played for us last year, he's just not good enough.
 
So Kawhi is in Toronto apparently and there's a huge crowd outside the hotel he's supposedly meeting with the Raptors.

My gut says he's staying with the Raptors.

For minimum? Not a chance in hell you can offer Oubre minimum, have him accept and then have Suns not match. Not even a glimmer of hope.

Harris and Richardson are both very good shooters, Horford is a very good shooter for a big and Embiid is a fairly decent shooter for a center of his size. Spacing is not great but it’s also not as terrible as people are making it out to be, especially when you consider how difficult they will be to defend inside the paint anyway.

Please can you say the same thing about the Wolves.:angel:
 
Kawhi is going to the Raptors. Ban me if he doesn't.

Wolves have good assets to make a trade I feel. Wiggins is borderline unmovable but I don’t think he is that terrible. Covington is one of the best deals in the league and expiring Teague is good as well. I won’t be surprised to see Russell end up there in a few months, in exchange for RoCo, who is a perfect fit with the Warriors, and expirings.

That's a an absolutely abject deal. RoCo is a great defender and very much needed. I hope that Russell stays where he is because the Warriors have nothing interesting to offer in exchange of RoCo.
 
It's ironic that it's for the Raptors pitch that there's a helicopter following Kawhi, a huge crowd outside the hotel and rumours Drake's launched a campaign. You'd think this is the type of stuff that'd put him off LA.

Los Angeles is just a terrible city though, that's what put him off sources tell Eboue.

I've never been, and it may well be a terrible city for Average Eboue, but for a multi millionaire, I'd imagine it's a great place to live?
 
Wow check out this gif of bubz and robinlfc

Can't recall the last time I felt an earthquake here in LA. Probably 10+ years ago. One of those things people like to mention as a con to living in southern CA, but rarely ever happens.

The simple fact that you can remember it is why people mention it. We like our ground strong and stable.
 
Jalen Rose saying he's hearing that it's 99% Kawhi stays in Toronto. Or was it 81%? Can't remember.
 
Suns continuing their run of incompetence. Why the hell would you need Korver and is Carter really better than Melton? I get that Josh Jackson has been a disappointment and an idiot but he’s at least talented.

Not really.
 
Not really.
36% last season, 43% the season before, both on 3 attempts a game. He was good last year and absolutely excellent the year before, basically.

How many bigs are shooting over 37% which is his career average?

I very rarely agree with Eboue, but he’s spot on here. LA is terrible in every conceivable way.

He's alright but he's not great. Considering that the 76ers lack shooting in general Horford won't get as many easy looks as he usually gets.

For a big he’s a very good shooter. Agreed that he won’t get that many looks but having three above average shooters is fine. I think Sixers will be playing different brand of basketball anyway, with their size and defense.
 
Helicopters are following Kawhi in Toronto :lol:

Board man gets followed

Oh I'm not arguing against the sixers, their defense will be incredible. However, it will be interesting how they line up offensively, I think they might struggle a fair bit.

A good friend of mine loves it out there, lives near LA AFB. He's from Boston but LA has become his fav city. He doesn't care for the traffic but said the nightlife and boardwalk scene are unlike anywhere else.
