Hello anon. NBA commissioner Adam Silver here. Are you enjoying this crazy offseason? Wasn't it crazy how the Lakers and Celtics got the top 2 picks? Aren't these trades crazy?
This competitive balance is amazing! Make sure to tune in next season and support our sponsors, who you can see on each team's jerseys!

>According to a league source, the Celtics had made several attempts to acquire George this season, including one offer prior to the February trade deadline that could have come at a massive cost.

>The Celtics at that time offered a package centered on the 2017 first-round pick they were to receive from the Nets, as well as three other future first-round choices, a source said. That Nets pick, of course, ultimately turned into the No. 1 overall selection.

>But the deadline came and went with no deal, and the talks were resuscitated prior to the NBA Draft. At that time, a source said, Boston offered the Pacers three starters and two first-round picks, although the offer did not include the pick Boston will receive from the Nets next year, or the future first-round pick they received when they sent the top pick this year to the 76ers.

>Eventually, a league source said, that deal evolved to become three future first-round picks and two Celtics starters. But it turned out that was not enough, either. In the end, George ended up with Oklahoma City, and the Celtics were left to turn their focus toward their pursuit of the free agent forward, Gordon Hayward.

Since the Hawks and Raptors are already done they have an easy route to the conference finals where they will get destroyed by Lebum and friends again.

Compare that to Miami whose current roster missed the postseason or in Utah where they will be kicked out in the first round.

Borderline criminal negligence what Danny Ainge has done this offseason.

He has a really good team overflowing with assets but lacks a star. And he let the two main stars go for sack of shriveled potatoes to other teams. And Hayward is gonna stay home.

He should be fired like an hour ago. He just set this franchise back years, and maybe ruined their chance to ever even hit this window. What a fucking pussy.

Is it Danny's fault that teams just don't wanna deal with him? He literally offered the house and then some, but these other teams have been hearing all the Danny hype by the media because of the Brooklyn trade and the magic offseason in 08.

That being said, I still think he should be fired because theres some communicational skills he must lack to not be able to get these other GMs to accept MASSIVE trades.

The beauty of what Presti did isn't that he rented a star to pair with Westbrook for a season, even tho that gives the appearance of trying and keeps them competitive, it's that he dumped Oladipo and his contract onto Indy while renting that star.

>>76859096
anyone thats cared has seen this coming since 2015 and the warriors can afford it.

My raptors got the east locked when lebron goes out west next year. I love it

>>76859034
Dude, blame the new CBA it was made to keep core players on teams. THEY HAVE TO PAY HIM SUPERMAX TO KEEP HIM. It was all Lebron's fault.

>>76859125
Kawaiii

>>76859102

Good question and I don't know. But either Ainge is lying about the shit he said he'd give up, or teams just won't fucking trade with him at all. Cuz PG and Butler both went cheap as shit while Boston sat on their ass.

>>76859096
>why should Curry try and keep this potential GOAT dynasty together for more than 3 years instead of forcing the owners to let one of the big 4 go before they're completely destroyed by the biggest luxury taxes in major sports history

Klay is now in serious contention to leave next year if KD doesn't take a paycut so steep he's only 15-20% of the cap instead of 30%.

Serge Ibaka can still play

I still don't believe that he offered 6 draft picks to the Hornets to move up in the draft, and the Hornets turned him down to take Frank Kaminsky.

>>76859146
Klay just got an $80m sponsorship deal for being a Warrior.

He's not leaving.

The point of hoarding assets is to make a move and go for it. PG in Boston next year would literally be going for it, and it wouldn't set the franchise back since they've hoarded so many assets.

It's not about 2019, it's about 2018.

There is no way to spin Boston's failure here. Ainge fucked up bad.

>>76859167
He was supposed to be 3rd scoring option, with potential to lead bench unit. Then, snag Horford as well. Then it all blew up in his face.

>>76859185

True, but he recognized that mistake and fixed it so he deserves credit for it.

>>76859049
Shut up, stop telling people he's bad, or that he showed up fat that first year and didnt even start to put in effort until a December game when pop sat hisbass down for boban and boban bcame a fan favorite or when Kawhai went down and LMA was given the chance to be the man and he just choked and exposed himself. Sombody please take him, please senpai.

>>76859156
Look at this little baller lmao

>>76859167
>Serge Ibaka can still play
Lmao
Also they did it thinking KD was staying because Oladipo as the third man makes perfect sense instead of Ibaka who's clearly declined athletically and in a perimeter focused league playing against all of the Warrior's switching they needed a two way SG much more than a PF that can't guard smaller players and falls for fakes easily.

same here. once had a qt come up to me while lifting and ask if I needed a spot. I autistically just said no and she left embarassed before I realized.

Another time a cardiobunny got off the treadmill and said "hey" to me while I was resting (she must have thought I was looking at her when I was staring into space thinking) and it took me about 2 minutes trying to think of something to say but by that time she was pissed I was ignoring her so she walked away.

People don't realize how bad the east was in late 90s and early 2000s

Pistons was the turnaround and 2003 draft with lebron and wade to east

>>76859300
>Amir Johnson is great veteran for young team.
kek he's fucking awful

>>76859310
Nah, he should be down to 26ppg again and and PG should have his points go up, and efficiency sense he'll take more catch and shoot attempts. Paul George was third in the league last year in points per catch and shoot attempt, #1 was Klay. #2 was Dirk, but that was on a much lower volume so PG is effectively #2.

>>76859331
Eh, current Millsap isn't all that better than Wilson Chandler. Since it's Jokic's team, they need a 4 that can go defend the perimeter.

>>76859349
Really? This could be good for the Thunder. Durant was good at catch and shoot but clearly he prefers to shoot closer the top of the arc (ala Warriors) than at the corners like Westbrook prefers shooters to go. Where is Paul George most comfortable catch-and-shooting?

>>76859379
Warrior's teamwork would give them the win over the mash-up Team USA.

>>76859349
Sure but his numbers would look somewhere like 27ppg/7rpg/10apg and with PG there with him, OKC are primed to take a top 3 seed. I know Harden is right there but CP3 is such a ball dominant player, I can't see Harden repeating the same season he just had.

think about it from an actual evolutionary perspective: why wouldn't a woman approach a man? she has limited reproductive potential, has to wait a year between offspring, and will likely have to take care of the child more and thus has more stake in raising a good kid (with good genes). she has to be choosy. men don't.

women absolutely choose and approach men that they like. you're just not an appealing partner, my guy
