Just saw :wow :wow
Can't wait to see that team tbh :lol
Lmao Spurs are probably the fifth best west team now. Our biggest accomplishment this off season... signing Rudy fucking Gay. God damn this team is trash.
Incredible. Sam Presti, the guy who discovered Tony Parker, lost Kevin Durant and acquired Paul George and Melo via traded FOR SHIT
Meanwhile our drunk replaced Tim Duncan with Joffrey Leauvergne
The Thunder got Melo for absolute garbage. Fuck this summer.
Curry, Thompson, Durant, Green
Westbrook, George, Melo, Adams
CP3, Harden
Teague, Butler, Wiggins, Towns
Davis, Cousins
Kawhi, Derrick White, Blossomgame, Patty Mills
We're screwed. In before "it'll never work there's only one ball":lmao
Woof. They got him for nothing too. Sam Presti pulling out all the stops.
Yeah but culture though. HEB commercials and Jacob Riis etc.
Can't wait to hear the upcoming Fire shit takes about how some still don't take OKC seriously, even after they send us home every 2 years and Pop gets outcoached
Dubs
OKC
Rockets
^ best 3 West teams tbh :lol
we had a good run
:lol Can't wait to see it though, definately gonna take some adjustment. I'm just glad there will be some entertaining basketball and not just one sided with the warriors, I don't really care what the Spurs will do.Quote:

This wouldn't be so bad if the Spurs hadn't re-upped Pau and Patty. I could get behind playing for a window in 2018. It's shit that they didn't take this summer more seriously.
That said, I wouldn't have been a huge fan of a Melo trade right now. Pau and Patty were off the table until December and January, respectively, and moving LMA for Melo without other bigs coming would have been awkward.
I'd like to hear PATFO's real rationale for going in this direction and not some stupid blow-off answer. These aren't dumb people. This makes sense to them even though it doesn't to anyone else.
Going all in the way you should for a star. Would be interesting if Russ still doesn't extend.Quote:

Boiled down: Sam Presti turned Victor Oladipo and Enes Kanter's awful contracts into Paul George and Carmelo Anthony. Even if for just one year, that's a helluva job, tbh.

Kawhi will be 28 and a clear payroll which will determine his supporting cast during his 28-33 prime.
Hopefully KD, Bron, Cp3 and Harden have slowed enough and Kawhi can have a 2-3 year reign as the premier player. That's my hope anyway
I'd be for downgrading this year and next if it meant we could get a lottery pick or young player with good potential.
The otherside of that is if curry or KD go down then we are right in the mix with the other top 3-4 teams and could beat them in 7
Damn...Thunder looking surprisingly formidable again.
West now has four contenders on paper....Warriors, Spurs, Rockets, and Thunder. Timberwolves not gonna be an easy out either...
What an offseason. Can we just move the team to the East?
That's not even true tho!!Quote:

He's toying with the rest of the league.
The "Family" worked as well for Enes as it did for Fredo Corleone.Quote:

Well done Phil. Steal 60 million and then devalue the Knicks star player to the point he's traded for spare parts after you leave.
Not a fair analogy. Nyc chose melo over phil wanting to trade then traded him... stupid knicks ownerQuote:

Phil the coach was overrated. He'll go down as the highest paid psychiatrist in history, all because he could "manage big egos".Quote:

Rings aside, I think it's pretty clear cut that Pop > Phil as coach/GM. Say what you want about Pop, but he has done more with less in a small market consistently. If it weren't for Jordan/Shaq/Kobe, Phil Jackson would be just another Doc Rivers.
all these other GMs trading trash for all stars and RC doing midnight panic deals for role players :bangQuote:

When was the last time a 57th draft pick became a top 5 guard in his prime. Just Ginobili.
No one good lottery pick will give the Spurs what Parker and Manu gave...They were crazy rare exceptions.
not an anthony fan but wow @ what little it took for okc to acquire PG and melo.
Another overraction by a terrible poster. Wah wahQuote:

Kawhi better put on his Jordans and run to Cali. Asap. Don't sink with this Titanic
God the Knicks suck. Porzingis needs to find a way out, pronto. (Preferably to SA to replace LMA!:lol)
IT was 60th and second round All NBA last year. Was a top 5 guard last season but not perennially.Quote:

Tim Duncan, Kawhi Leonard, and Tony Parker are special, that's for sureQuote:

Butler PG13 Melo...LeBron's hate and jealousy don't have limits, it seems like he sends all them to beat Kawhi.
"WTF..Kawhi was MVP candidate, DPOY, All NBA First team, and All-Star starter for 2 consecutive seasons?? Call JimmyB PG and Melo! Hype wont allow the kid to be a starter in other ASG"
:D
melo was not good as a 1st option on a horribly run team. now he will be playing with no pressure as a third option on a well run team with good defenders. he's still one of the best catch and shoot players in the entire league and will get to do exactly that on a team that lacked shooters. and they got him for a couple of scrubs. it's a great move tbhQuote:

But imo he's always been severely overrated and he couldn't even do shit with the Knicks in the garbage ass east except the one season he got the 2 seed only to get skullfucked in the playoffs. Never been a melo fan he's a cancer imoQuote:

Someone post the video of Melo unable to dunk on that one possession , so I feel better
Only better defensively.Quote:

Kawhi was third choice behind Klay and Valanciunas. :lol Can you imagine Klay trying to carry these scrubs in LMA and Fatty Mills? Spurs just have dumb luck.Quote:

Oh man sick burn. People on ST have thought the favored team would win and were wrong? Gasp.
:lmao I'm not gonna bother looking up your post history since its mostly trash directed at Manu because he fucked your mom or something. But continue wasting your Saturday reminiscing about me tbh
Spurs will be fourth in the west at best. :lol
Westbrook is going to have to play really unselfish to make this team work next season tbh. Only 1 ball to go around and that can be said for Warriors and Rockets to. Otherwise if he plays the same way PG13 and Melo are gonna be complaining for the ball.
Outside of Warriors, the Thunder will be really good if they play unselfish. Not worried about Rockets with CP3 and Harden, Spurs can beat them. Warriors and Thunder will be the toughest West teams to defeat.
Wow. Why did the Thunder decide to tank?
Valuncionas skin colour ..hmm..Quote:
