2018-2019 NBA Thread

The other spot the Warriors lost it was the foul line. Curry and Klay were 16-16 while the rest of the team was something like 5-14. That's just laughable.

Yeah Cousins missed way too many FTs.

You'd have to imagine Lebron might be really regretting how this all played out. Had he signed on long term in Cleveland and kept Kyrie there's a pretty decent chance they would have won another championship this year due to injuries on GS.

Bleh...

Kept Kuzma and have a max spot open for another FA and the Warriors are done for a year at least.

They traded half the damn team for him plus all those picks. Lmao. Hopefully that trade will help us out in the NOLA.

Can't say I'm excited about that trade as a Pelicans fan. Really wanted Kuzma if they were going to deal him to the Lakers. The 2 first picks in later years will be at the very back end barring any injuries to the lakers.

Kyrie

Reports saying Kemba. Sounded like Kyrie was headed to NJ.

Well they ARE a Canadian team, so that wouldn't be completely out of place.

they could do both, the mayor is just taking a shot at Trump

No way. Kyrie is going to the Nets.

Lakers choices are basically Jimmy Butler and that's it. I'm pretty sure Kawhi isnt going there, neither is Kemba. There is basically no one else. Unless you rate Tobias Harris as a top tier free agent.

Lakers really need to hit on Kemba or Butler, and hope they can get some cheap shooters. If they can get Kemba, and get like Reddick and some other dudes on exemptions/minimum type contracts they could be real good, but they've been kind of a hot mess so not sure how likely any of that is.

And LeBron gets his way with AD addition. Massive fucking eye roll.......

If they could convince someone like Harris to take 20m instead of a near max contract that he might end up getting from some bad team, they could also go after like danny green and reddick both and get a lot of shooting. But that's a lot of ifs and maybes and seems like you'd need a real gm to get all that shit done.

I'm just glad they are shipping Lonzo off. Dude just isn't very good and his dad is a grade A douche

Lonzo is a pretty good player, but he comes with an awful lot of baggage. His dad is wild.

This season he averaged 10 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 5.4 assists per game while shooting 40% from the field and 45% from the line.
