Yeah I don't understand it either. Maybe it means one of the centers are definitely out the door? Nerlens?
Kendall Marshal was most likely going to be cut as he wras an umitigated disaster last season. Think about it. Our guard situation was so trash last year, but we would rather start Nik Stauskas and TJ McConnel over Kendall Marshall. Tibor Pleiss will most likely be cut, or put in the d-league.
Sixers got essentially 2 2nd rounder for a guy they were going to cut. I doubt Tibor Pleiss is going to be on the roster next years, and even if he did, he'd have to compete against Richaun Holmes, Carl Landry, Dario Saric, Ben Simmons, and the 3 Centers on the roster.
I doubt Tibor Pleiss has anything to do with either Nerlens or Okafor going. Management has stated from day 1 that one of them most likely had to be traded, I doubt Tibor Pleiss is going to affect those plans at all

I'm just surprised they haven't made the bigger trade yet to clear out one of those centers. Are they getting low-balled by teams right now?
Lol, very true.
Lol, very true.
Yes
Okafor has very low value over what his actual value most likely is due to his bad analytics, and Noel, despite also being undervalued by a lot of the mainstream NBA guys is a RFA next year, and people should expect him to get paid more then Biyombo did.
Friday was a big day for us as we assumed we were trading either or for a draft pick, but now that that has passed, we could easily see the team wait until an injury/desperate team at the trade deadline wants a Center.

Y'all wanted to sees Joel Embiid play against something other then 5'10" white trainers. Well bam, here it is

Getting 2k again this year despite its flaws. Pretty much the only game where I can play it with a show on in the background.
Ditto, as long as my character isnt called Frequency Vibrations then we're all good.
lmao.
At the very least there's a new voice actor. Or at least a new option. I got so tired of the guy they had.

Apparently KD followed up his Tupac tattoo with a giant Rick James tat on his thigh. What's next? A Chubby Checker tramp stamp?

Happened upon these old Cavs fan-made jersey mockups and I still think they are flames:
man why couldn't we get something like these. fuck. I'm imaging a black gold and red version like
Also, get the Kardashians away from fucking NBA players, please. Their succubus game is too strong.

Oh, good, those are fan made. I thought for a second they were real.

Those jerseys are awful and they would look even worse in person.
I think they'd look better if they didn't have a ghost wearing them

You guys think so? If the Nuggets could do it, I think they would have looked alright.

I need to see a mockup of them on actual players but I think it would look ridiculous.

I guess the idea of the city skyline is cool, but not feeling those jerseys.

in fairness that didn't end well....for Bill, as he had to sit at Staples and watch Ron and the Lakers celebrate a title over his beloved Celtics while confetti dropped on his ass.

I wonder if Simmons is every going to release Book of Basketball part 2.
It was even worse for Pacers fans. Ron Artest redeemed!? He and Steven Jackson should have been kicked out of the league!

I'll never get tired of that.
To be fair, I actually own the updated version of Simmons' book, and he put an additional footnote effectively admitting he's wrong. LOL.

Every offseason when Lakers fans think everybody wants to play in LA and every preseason when Bulls fans think Derrick Rose is back. Although I guess that tradition moves to New York this year.

Not true!
Green's Conan appearance yesterday all but confirms my suspicions that he is indeed a 🤖 designed to rival LeBron (also #23). He was quoted last night saying "I'm uncertain of myself" and when told you're a robot, of course if you're a robot your response would be "I'm not a robot.!" Anyway, he's 1-1 against his rival in the finals so he's doing something right.

Looking forward to Joel's response to this.

Also, Simmons kid went full Sixers fan after they drafted Ben Simmons (which happens to be his sons name)
If the Sixers become an elite team, he becomes one of the most sought after minds in Basketball and raises his worth essentially. If Colangelo comes and ruins the team by trading away all of Hinkies guys, then he is also highly sought after. If the players Hinkie picked all turn out too suck, and we dont get anything afterwards, then his value is essentially the same as it is now.
I think Sam loves the game too much to not get back into it, but I think he wants to leave so everyone can appreciate the work he did.

Fuck, almost had His son a Lakers fan.
