Wait the meeting is still going on? Lmfao

I believe it ended at 7:30

 

[TheFatOne]

Did you guys catch that NY Daily News rumor/report? KD supposedly flew to Boston on Friday and came back with Brady.

You know..Knicks don't look as shitty anymore to be honest

I wouldn't speak so soon as we still don't have a bench.

 

[panthapanda]

If KD goes to the C's, then I might just become a C's fan....not.

Will buy a jersey tho.

 

[Bread]

Is the meeting over

Was the pitch good

Pls someone report something

If KD goes to the C's I will become a C's fan instead of a Warriors/Cavs fan.

ESPN sources say Toronto has emerged as another Pau Gasol suitor, but Gasol could well opt to delay his decision until after Kevin Durant's.

I'm sure they are all still doing coke.

Oh wow that would be interesting

Came across an article that discussed Howard to ATL.

Some intriguing points. Howard only attempted about 8.5 shots in Houston last year. Over 100 more players took more shots. Marvin Williams took more shots than Howard.

His percentage have been the same for his career, it may have been lack of touches.

Howard taking that many shots isn't that bad of a thing. He's best limiting his touches to the PNR, but he seems to want back to the basket possessions.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Doesn't matter how many sub 10 reb bigs you sign or how many football players you send to meet with him, KD's wearing white, red, yellow, and black a few months from now.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Ryan Anderson to Houston 4 years/$80 million. That's a lot of money but that guy is going to feast in D'Antoni's system.

They are all still in the meeting remembering the 2016 Red Sox.

This was the guy we needed to sign. Still got no shooters on our team.

 

[Fatalah]

With Eric Gordon off the table, Knicks end up with Courtney Lee, and not D-Wade.

Finally feels like a normal operating team again. Noah helped sell Lee on NYC too. That never works!

Time to fill out our bench.

There is someone out there...

Bring him home, Mitch.

Does Toronto have that kind of cap room?

I don't know if I would be against Gasol as a Raptor. Should he be our Scola replacement? Lol

Nice assist to Luke on the play..lol

Get the band back together. What are Slava and Brian Cook up to?

 

[jbug617]

Horford has an opt out after yr 3.

Al Horford's four-year, $113 million deal with the Celtics includes a player option after the third year, according to his agent Jason Glushon.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Can we get Shannon Brown out of retirement?

Kevin Durant has told clubs he is meeting with that his decision will be made within the next 24-36 hours, according to league sources.- Chris (Multiple Sauces) Brossarrd

Masai must be all-in, I think he has to move Ross's contract to make it work.

Chris Broussard ✔ @Chris_Broussard
No decision has been made on whether Durant will meet again with OKC after his other 5 meetings, sources say.

Grain of salt, Multiplesources.jpg, etc

 

[CreeperBlocks]

I think Durant is going to go back to OKC


Why ruin a good thing you have with Westbrook? Durant leaving would suck for that franchise

Well no shit he already told us Monday.

Why does Broussard have a job?

 

[panthapanda]

In Atlanta, support at home games was sometimes tepid, despite the fact that the Hawks had gone 108-56 over the last two years.

“There wasn’t as much motivation for him when he saw all the empty seats when they were winning,” Tito Horford said. “He said to me, ‘Dad, when we were playing Boston, they were down 15 points and they were cheering their team like they were winning the game. They’re so into the game.’ This is special for us, especially for him.”

I knew it. Our "fans" just suck. It's going to be awhile.

 

[TheSadRanger]

Good lord, I just saw the news of Cuban offering max to max Barnes. I dunno man....this whole pursuit of Durant has kinda screwed over the Warriors. All possible Barnes replacements have been snapped up. I have a hard time believing management would match but who's available to replace Barnes? Or do we just pack it in and make this a retooling year?

And what's with this new of Durant coming out of the Clippers meeting super impressed? That came out of nowhere...I can just imagine the meeting consisted of Doc barring the door with a chair and a coked up Balmer sweating through his shirts screaming Durantula Durantula Durantula... catches breath...Durantula..Woooooooo..

/Steve-Ballmer.gif

I dunno, I think GS will match the offer. But this might be a fukkery move by Cuban, because consider this. If Cuban wants to Dirk to stay (which at this point I'm sure he does) then what better way than to get GS to lock up a max deal with Barnes. Especially if they think there's a real possibility of Dirk leaving for GS.

Atlanta is a terrible sports city.

 

[MegaManTrigger]

idk man, if you can make LeBron second guess driving in the lane x be shook thats worth a sign, especially if you have home court

Ainge going for max Wade or max Barnes

Is that worth 70mil though?

 

[ampere]

I'm feeling good about Horford, but if we get Durant too that's a team.

Horford alone and I don't think we can beat the Cavs for the East, but maybe Brad Stevens will work some magic

I knew it. Our "fans" just suck. It's going to be awhile.

Too many transplants here. I basically only go to Atlanta games when a Boston team is in town :X

 

[neptunes]

Holy crap @ ATL's fall from grace.

60 win team 2 years ago, with promise of always being in the mix for contention

If the Celtics get Durant they should go after Cousins. Thomas, Bradley, Durant, Horford, Cousins would be such a sick lineup.

Edit: I know Cousins has issues, but man would that lineup be great if he had his head screwed on straight.

 

[panthapanda]

Holy crap @ ATL's fall from grace.

We overachieved that year. Two players in Millsap and Carroll playing for new contracts. The perfect storm. So I wouldn't call it a fall from grace lol.

If Celtics land Durant there's no way Ainge isn't aggressively pursuing Cousins, Butler, or whoever else is available

 

[BajiBoxer]

So, Mozgov getting a 4 year/$64 million deal. Seems like a lot to me...

 

[TheFatOne]

For sure. My vote would be Cousins given the landscape of the NBA. Athletic defensive team that can matchup with anyone with him. Defensively they would just be so fucking good, and Stevens can draw up all kinds of shit for them. I'm not going to be able to sleep at all today. Way too damn hyped. I hope they can pull of that miracle.

Edit: Let's Horford play PF instead of center. Which I believe is his proffered role. So many options if KD signs.

 

[friskykillface]

Ainge gonna get Crawford for new bench mob and then trade everyone- smart, Olynk, Sully x the draft picks for Cousins

 

[Bread]

If the Celtics got durant they would trade every pick they have

Pls Duran duran

 

[TheFatOne]

I want them to somehow keep Brooklyns 17 though. Wishful thinking I know, but if they could pull that off while getting another superstar player it would be insane. Also, if KD signs with the Celtics I know which universe I'm in. Dems will win both senate and house. Obama will be nominated as supreme court justice.

Jonathan Tjarks' (who is usually on his shit when it comes to the NBA) take on the Lakers offseason makes me feel just a smidge better about things going forward

https://theringer.com/lakers-sign-t...-2016-nba-free-agency-59da626f5a4e#.54infyh6i

Essentially:
-Yes they are overpays, but the Lakers are essentially having to pay a stupid tax for how bad they've been the last 3 years
-Both Deng and Mozgov are risks in terms of their health and age, but if they are healthy, they both fill huge holes for LA in terms of PNR offense, perimeter defense, rim protection and vet leadership
-The four year contracts for each guy potentially falls right into the development cycle for their young core.

Now just get rid of Swaggy already.
