Pelinka the GM, an asshole who told a story bout Kobe meeting Heath Ledger after the Dark Knight came out cause Kobe was inspired from Heaths Performance as the joker

problem is, Heath was dead 6months prior to the movie release

that alone should get him fired, it’s pretty disgusting, I didn’t believe it at 1st until I saw the video

Jeanie Buss has lost control...

Well they turned the Laker’s #4 pick into three first round picks when they traded it last night. 

It will officially go down as 3 team trade since Atlanta traded with NOLA for the #4

Atlanta could have drafted Zion and still suck.

I don't know what is wrong with that team?

In my opinion, I think the whole Danny Ferry situation is biting them in the ass right now. He was trying to make them into the Spurs of the east and was having success. The year he left (got fired) because of racist remarks they won 60 games. After he left, they decided to go in a different direction and now they might be in a perpetual state of rebuilding.

2020 NBA Championship Odds

Los Angeles Lakers +250

Milwaukee Bucks +550

Toronto Raptors +600

Golden State Warriors +750

Houston Rockets +850

Philadelphia 76ers +1000

Los Angeles Clippers +1400

Boston Celtics +1800

Denver Nuggets +2000

Dallas Mavericks +2200

Oklahoma City Thunder +2200

A Value Bet would be the Nuggets? 

With adding Conley, they will jump high into this conversation. I don't think they can win it all, but they could give it a good push if they stay healthy. Need to add some depth, especially at PG as Conley will miss some time and Exum can't be relied on.

Conley may be the perfect guy to play alongside Mitchell and within the Jazz system. He is elite in Pick and Roll offense and the Jazz love that. Gobert/Favors (who will likely stay now) will love having him on board. Conley is  the most under appreciated PG in the league.

coder - nuggets and jazz are not the same team

really like this move for the jazz....with some luck, they could go far.

Haha, yes, instead of typing "they" I meant to type "the Jazz". I think they will be VERY good next season. Conley will help settle Mitchell down too and lessen his erratic moments.

I like what they did at the draft. Young showed he can develop into a special player in the second half of last season. John Collins is very solid at the 4 spot. They added the best available wing player, who is a very good defender and still have Cam Reddish, who may be average, but could also be great. Picking him at 10 was good value. So they have a good young core now to build around and still have some other pieces (Huerter, Bazemore, Crabbe, Len) that will fill out the bench.

Long way from being competitive, but certainly building in the right direction. Yes, they last few years have been rough, but the last 12 months have shown signs of life

His options should be: Toronto/Brooklyn/Clippers

there’s a few small market teams who have their shit together but Kawhi’s clearly a major market guy.

Delusional Knicks fan...

Durant isn't coming either...

I'd say Leonard is something like this:

Raptors: 70% chance
Clippers: 25% chance
Nets 2% chance
Lakers 1% chance
Knicks 1% chance
mavericks 1% chance

he is meeting with the Sixers. I don't think there is much chance he signs here but it's at least 1%

You actually have 2 chances of signing him.  Slim and none.

So about the same as everyone but Toronto and the Clippers.

I assume Leonard wants more Championships?  Why would he go to philly?  When’s the last championship they won?
