The Official Around The NBA Thread.... June

I told you guys that Paul George was the type of person to remain with his team after having these bullshit Sportscenter specials about him.....

 

We should definitely be looking at the summer of 2020.

 

So now your plan is to wait 2 years?? My how easily you are brainwashed by Neil... shit changes from month to month and your banking on a plan for 2 years out?!

 

WE have no cap space until 2020, and have no way of overcoming the Warriors until then anyway. In 2020, we will have flexibity. Are you seriously too dim to see how we can't really do much now? It's Olsheys fault, so you should at least realize that 2020 is when we get our flexibility back. We can make incremental improvements until then but that's all we can do. We have our hands tied, because of Neil. So how the fuck am I brainwashed?

We should try to add assets to take advantage of our first summer of flexibility in 2020, even if it's adding a pick along with a bad 2 year contract.

 

If your plan is to wait two f’ing years why not just rebuild around Zach and go young... instead you want to go with the same team and miss out on high draft picks for a team with no chance to even win a playoff series, and then bank on free agents choosing to come to Portland in 2 years to join a team with 30 year old Dame and 29 year old CJ who if resigned the year after will be making 35+ mil each... are you that dim?? You have no logic to your way of though except for accepting mediocrity because Neil tells you to

 

Derozan?

Also.

EL LAY? That warrants an unfollow

 

I'm unsure when I started refollowing him, to be honest. I don't believe him, just passing along free agency rumors. DeRozan a good call

 

Dame will still be in his prime. Dirk won in 2011 passed the age of 30.

We have no chance to win a playoff series? That's a stretch. With a better gameplan we could've easily beat New Orleans, but our gameplan was crap and we made no adjustments.

Who said we were banking on free agents? That cap space can be valuable within trades. I also said we should try to add bad contracts with future picks to have more assets for a trade in 2020. It doesn't have to be a star free agent. A Tyreke Evans' level free agent would do wonders for this team.

Anybody who doesn't agree with you, it's because "Neil told them to do so"? You sit here and whine about hypotheticals and what-ifs then try to call others out on common sense and logic while complaining the only reason they disagree with you is because they're "brainwashed"...

*edited*

I'm done with this crap dude. I'll just put you on ignore with the other 75% of the forum.

 

I'm sensitive? Says the guy who whines and complains in every post and talks shit to anyone who doesn't agree with him or accept all the whining. Get a life? Coming from the dude who complains about the same thing 50 times a day. Pathetic?..... Hahaha.

 

I don't either, Derozen would be a weird fit in "El Lay" (wtf?) next to LeBron and Lonzo. He can't really play off of them.

 

I'm just scrolling past that shit now.

 

Second person I've ever put on ignore. First was Tunchi, second is NewTunchi.

 

So a little over an hour til the opening bell of free agency. Who’s the first agreed upon deal?

 

I thought you were putting me on ignore lol... and btw, what kind of man puts people on ignore in a sports forum anyways??? You can choose to just not read my posts if you get so hot and bothered... ignore, lol

 

I need me some Woj-bombs right about now.

 

Weren't some people thinking we had a shot at him for the MLE, lol?

 

His agent came out and said he would leave to LA no matter what. Good for OKC that he changed his mind but before he got traded PG did just about everything except sign a deal saying he was going to LA this summer.
