Chaos in the Middle of a Pandemic: 2020 NBA Off-Season Thread

fukking why? He's unplayable in the playoffs and doesn't even fit next to Zion. The rationalizations I've seen for this from the dumbass Pels blogbois on twitter is "B-b-b-bu we can open up 2 max slots next year!!!!"... no we fukkin can't if the FO's plan is to pay this oaf longterm. We're giving up Bledose, maybe Hill, a 1st, and 2 2nds... for the rights to pay Steven Adams $27 million this year, then bring him back to clog the lane for Zion for the rest of his rookie contract????? Way to fukk up every sensible smart decision you made this offseason in one idiotic move morons

Fans defend every move at first, they will be anti Adams 10 games in. This dude couldn’t post up Jeff green in the playoff

So the speculation is Blake griffin sign and trade to the nuggets for plumlee and grant? Am I reading that right?
if nuggets get the Blake from 2 years ago, they’re a problem

Mike Singer (Nuggets reporter) says it’s not a sign and trade with Blake

Hami is the longest tenured Thunder player & the only one left that played with Russ

Roster is Horford, Ariza, SGA, Dort, Hami, Bazely, Poku, & then a bunch of dudes I couldn't pick out of a lineup if they were standing there wearing their jerseys.

From KOC:

On Friday, The Athletic’s Sam Amick and Eric Nehm reported that the Lakers are pursuing a sign-and-trade for Bogdanovic, who’s sign-and-trade deal to the Bucks fell apart. League sources confirmed the report: The Lakers are indeed pursuing Bogdanovic, though the Hawks are considered the favorites.

The Kings may not have wanted to trade Bogdanovic to the Lakers before the deadline, but now they don’t have much of a choice. The alternative is losing him to the Hawks (or another team with cap space such as the Knicks), to an offer sheet that’s more than they’d like to spend, multiple league sources say. Of course, the Kings could match any offer sheet he receives. But they just drafted a guard in Tyrese Haliburton, gave $163 million to De’Aaron Fox, and still have a disgruntled Buddy Hield. Maybe, just maybe, the Kings would be better off taking KCP and Kuzma even if it means helping their interstate rivals get better

[Hersh]

Only issue is wouldn’t Bogdan need to take a pretty big pay cut? His market value is 16+ mil/year with the contracts we’re seeing. Don’t think the Lakers can give him that because of the hard cap.

I don't think NOP getting Adams is a bad move. I know he doesn't provide any floor spacing for Zion but Favors left and they need a center.

It's the opposite of most of the league but those two should be abusing teams on the offensive boards. Good locker room guy too and they don't have any vets to fit that bill besides Redikk now that Holiday is gone.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

I don't expect Campazzo to get too many minutes, but whenever he and Jokic are on the floor together, they're gonna produce highlight plays on every offensive possession. I'm surprised that it's taken a team this long to pick him up. He should've been in the NBA a long time ago.
