NBA Offseason |OT| "It's a complete shit move, but we're stuck with it now"

to who? Their moms?
The Spurs won 67 games last year and lost to a European team. Shit does not matter at all
The Spurs weren't coming off the choke of a lifetime immediately followed by their star pulling a Hollywood Hogan.
So once again, who's perception does it matter too?

Of course the first time in five years the Knicks should actually be good, we're trying to figure out how to balance a guys playing time around his rape trial.
Disgusting.
Disgusting.

Yep, every time I go "maybe I'll watch this year" they do shit like this and remind me that James Dolan is a human shit smeer.
The first mistake was assuming that the Knicks will be good
The second mistake was rooting for the Knicks

If anyone knows how to balance playing time around a rape trial, it's Phil Jackson. He's like the Phil Jackson of balancing playing time around a player's rape trial.

Just puked watching Wade come out as a Bull. Don status revoked, Fredo Riley should never have let this happen.

Man, I have to go down to NYC for work in Dec and our office is right in Penn Plaza. I hope I can catch and Knicks game at MSG while I'm down there; I just hope all those brittle old-timers will still be in the line-up by then...

Kings new arena looks pretty snazzy. Too bad the rest of the team is garbage!

Don't know how much validity there is to it, but there are rumors that Ben Simmons' agent might try and hold him out the entire year.
This came from Bob Cooney who is one of Phillies worst sports guys
It's a possibility, but i don't see why you'd make this decision before surgery even happens. i can't imagine someone not playing if they aren't 100% and ready to go. It could be related though to NBA All - Rookie awards giving money to Ben Simmons from Nike too.
Also, remember when people called out Hinkie for having bad relationships with agents?

It seems to early to make definitive proclamations either way. If it's the kind of injury that he can be 100% healed from with very little risk of reinjury, I don't see the harm in getting him back out there even if it's late in the season to get some much needed reps.
In other news, a member of next years much hyped draft class, Harry Giles, had another knee surgery and is out 6 weeks. He also tore both ACLs while in college. Will be interested to see what this does to his draft stock and what his medical look like, and if they scare teams away. He's a top 3 guy in the class in terms of talent.

Yeah, I saw that earlier. Really sucks for him, I wonder if he'll skip playing at duke and go to the pros. With knees like that it'll be interesting what teams are willing to take a risk on him, dude's got real talent.
that sucks, i'm sure he will fall into the late lottery because of this.

Shitty news about Giles. Who do the C's draft first overall now?

They are going to put all the top prospects into a 3 point shooting contest and take whoever finishes last.
I think it's a good class for point guards, maybe we can get a couple

Danny has his type.
Are there any undersized point guards that can't shoot?

Why? To ensure his rookie year has enough games played to make a run for ROY?
That's the theory, the other is to make sure he doesn't reinjured his foot

Isn't this what Durant had? Maybe it is best for him to skip the whole season.

Yes, but apparently Durant had complications that caused him to miss more time. Hopefully Simmons' rehab will go smoothly and he'll back in about 3 months or so.
Pumped to get back into the thread and another NBA season.
Wasn't there rumblings that Ben Simmons' agent is already pushing for him to skip the season?
Honestly, I think the freak out is kind of deserved.
That's a bummer. Giles is really intriguing. Obviously this hurts his draft stock but it hurts Duke alot as well.

Watching some Bulls preseason highlights, so unreal to see Wade in Bulls uniform. Don't know how Heat fans feel.
Durant clearly rushed back, there's an expected out time of 3-4 months. The sixers might be super careful with him, but I don't think it woulkd be good for Ben to hold him out of games if he is fully healed. Someone looked online and if you dont rush back from the injury, only one of the 13 elite athletes who suffered the injury have had a complications, and he'll be under the eyes of some of the best medical personel in the game. Also, having a guy like Embiid and Noel, guys who went through very similar situations is only going to help him.
I'd like to see him play this year.
Also, That injury is huge for Giles, if I remember correctly, he's had injury issues throughout his entire high school career. Definately lowers his stock tremendously. Sixers weren't going to draft him anyway, as this draft is loaded with a shit ton of guards, but man, wouldnt want to be in his shoes.

Fake basketball is played in November and December since they can't grow the basketball during that part of the year.
If you look closely, you can see they are just pretending to play basketball with an imaginary ball
