NBA Offseason Thread

Sixers signed Paul George. They didn't really have many other options and they get to keep all of their draft captial so I'm not unhappy with it, but I'm not excited either. He's never been a winner and he's aging. He will definitely improve the team though.

 

The Knicks gave up a billion picks for a guy I had never heard of. It's good to be back in the 90s.

Also lost Harvenstein in free agency and I think that one will hurt...

 

Alrighty, boys.

Here's my review of the friendlies, my preview of the Olympics and my concerns, perhaps founded, perhaps not, for USA Men's basketball.

And here's my take on everyone up in arms about LeBron James getting his son a job with the family company...

All I'll say is there's a reason why we never heard of MJ's kids after Space Jam.

 

On the day I talked out a nice Steph Curry wager only to see him destroy Serbia. It was a good day.

I really thought you guys would lose to Serbia.

 

I thought we were cooked. Can't believe Embiid played well in the clutch.

 

Congrats for the Gold Medal. You really had to work for it this time.

That's why the 1992 Dream Team will always be the best ever for me. They cruised to the gold medal with no real opposition. I'm not even sure they trailed at any point during the tournament. Ever since then it got more and more complicated as the rest of the world decided it was a good idea to send their best players to the NBA to catch up.

 

f**k**ing Steph Curry these last two games was lights the hell out!

MAN, that was fun to watch!

 

And yea, Dawk, Embiid showed up for sure.

I thought Kerr did a pretty good job of exploiting matchups and finding the right players for the right time.

Embiid was one of 'em. They don't get past Serbia is he doesn't score those seven straight points.
