Sprinting to Training Camp: The Official 2018 NBA Offseason Thread

[Sonny Corinthos]

Don't they know Rockets will match whatever is out there

 

[Sonny Corinthos]

Tanking means Pop leaves too

Thought a couple reports popped up that Pop is considering retiring soon anyways

The Kings ruined Ben McLemore's career and now they want him back to finish the job.

FUKK THE KINGS!!! FREE MY DOG BEN!!!

Fukking bum ass Queens. Ain't developed anyone ever in your entire existence. Hire George KKKarl. The worst franchise in the NBA, hands down.

Ben didn't exactly take advantage of his opportunities in Memphis either, I don't think you can blame the Kings for his failures

Here is the breakdown for the top 10 in team salary: 1. Oklahoma City ($159.6M), 2. Golden State ($143.6M), 3. Toronto ($135.1M), 4. Washington ($134.9M), 5. Portland ($133.2M), 6. Boston ($128.7M includes the Marcus Smart FA hold), 7. Miami ($127.0M), 8. Houston ($126.3M includes the Clint Capela FA hold), 9. Memphis ($122.8M) and 10. Detroit ($122.4M).

DeRozan is already 28, is on a $30 million/year contract, and he hasn't shown that he can be the centerpiece in a team that can actually compete. What lineup are they gonna run with, Gasol-LaMarcus-Green-DeRozen-Murray? Really? And Toronto's picks are going to suck.

I thought that Sixers would offer at least two guys including Covington, and Lakers would be offering at least two or even three guys and all on rookie contracts too.

DeRozan only has 2 more years on his deal (this year and next) and although he has shyt the bed the last 2 years in the playoffs,you can argue that hes been the center piece on a team that went to the ECF 2 years ago and a team that had 59 wins this year and the second best record in the league...I mean if im Masai id be arguing it

Makes them the most attractive "3rd team" for a potential Kawhi deal.

Man I don't wanna hear that shyt. What opportunities?

He came in with a broken foot and missed camp. And Memphis fired Fizdale 19 games into the season. Fizdale was the guy who brought him in.

Gasol was unhappy. Conley was injured all year. Then Tyreke Evans (another kings refugee) turns into contract year Tim Thomas.

The Grizzlies are another bad organization, with a prick owner challenging his own players to games of one-on-one.

I just want a buyout, we'll get him in the gym with Drew Hanlen and we gon' get my boy right. If Oladipo can do it so can Ben.

The Grizzlies were a terrible landing spot, terrible.

 

[YaThreadTrashB!]

I just read on nba Twitter that kings might be ready to make a play for Clint Capela

They got 9 bigs already

I'm not disputing the Grizzlies being a horrible organization, but at this point I'll believe it when I see it from McLemore

Ben can’t finysh can’t dribble has a low b-ball IQ and doesn’t play defense he needs to go overseas and develop

Maybe so but that can only come with a buyout, I'd take overseas over the Kings and Grizzlies of the world.

I'd take overseas over the Cavs too.

We’d take anybody over McLemore no thanks

 

[FromStLouis]

Yeah and you'll have your chance to take anybody next June.

Try not to draft another Anthony Bennett.

Who is your team I’m trying to see who you’d root for but there isn’t a team within like 4 hours of St Louis. The bozo that drafted that bum is long gone
