So someone help me out here. The Dubs are eventually going to eat poo poo financially for this roster, right? When does that happen, and what implications could it have?

I think I heard that it would cost about 2 billion dollars to keep the team together over the next 5 years, assuming Curry gets a max contract

Could they theoretically do that if they just went ungodly far into the tax? The cap makes my brain hurt.

He's right though. Still the best basketball player in the world.

Could i get a rundown of the Lakers draft moves outside of Lonzo? I love the Josh Hart pick but know nothing about a Kyle Kuzma or a Thomas Bryant.

I can tell you Bryant more than likely suuuuuuuuuuucks.

the Spurs drafted a guy named Blossomgame so he pretty much has to be a future finals MVP

He's going to quite possibly be a monster under Pop. I say this as a guy who watched him in college as a fan of another team in his conference.

6'9 225 athletic as gently caress people are comparing him to Draymond idk about that though, he's a different player.

His tournament run was SUPER good. There was no way you COULDN'T pay attention to him or know his name (especially if you were a fan of the losing team).

He averaged like 13 rebs per game, of which like 4-5 were offensive. He was so dominant on the boards and on defense. Against Kansas he went for 11/13/8 blocks. Was amazing.

Kev, I loving hate the Dubs with the burning passion of 10,000 suns but as far as I'm concerned you are the Coolest Dubs Fan and I appreciate your basketball knowledge.

Also yeah I wouldn't compare Brooks to Dray at all tbh.

Sorry it took so long to get that scheduled reply in. I haven't logged in all day and I get here and see five hundred new posts. Off-season is nutty!

Nick bro I'm simultaneously hype and shook about now rooting for the Rockets. I dunno how to handle this.

Am I nuts for thinking Iggy leaving is kinda a big deal?

Yeah the drama of the Irving trade request, Gilbert firing the GM without consulting LeBron like he's trying to get LeBron to leave, and two stars being traded for peanuts all are hilarious but really none of them change the almost inevitable Warriors-Cavs re-re-rematch

Rockets bitch

DeimosRising posted:

Not if IT is the one taking them. As the Spurs (and most of basketball history) have demonstrated, a midrange jumper is not an inefficient shot if...it's not one. The point of Moreyball is MOST players are really bad in that territory and even if you build an offense around creating good looks there, it has to be insanely good to outpace an offense that takes 3s instead. Not that like, secretly Michael Jordan was bad at 15 foot jumpers.

CP3 also has a mean-rear end mid-range game. That's another reason I think he and Harden will annihilate defenses.

I feel like there might be a real chance John Collins is the best player on the Hawks. Yes I know he's a rookie.

So because I've stupidly looked other sports places and been irradiated with stupidity, help me out here: Houston is probably #2, MAYBE#3 in the West right? Kawhi is a bit of a question mark and until I see Melo working in OKC I'm going to assume clusterfuck. Am I nuts?

OKC is the 2nd best team on paper, but they might fall behind a bit because they had such a roster turnover in the starters.

Plus like I said, Melo is Melo.
