The NBA Thread

0:00 - 0:15 is a simulation of DeAndre Jordan dribbling the ball up to halfcourt.

Remember when DJ created the best free agency period of all time in the NBA? Don't know if that will ever be topped...

Westbrook and Talen Horton Tucker for the robot. Who says no?

I’ll start watching again

The Lakers need to sign them right now!
Max deal!

LOL! Is it traveling if you never take any steps? Also, he has better handles than Russ at this point!

I’m sure it depends on who’s calling the game.

Great. Now I’m getting NBA stuff in my Twitter feed. Stupid robot and phone.

That robot is a thing of beauty.

As a Knicks fan, my cheeks hurt from smiling for the past 30 minutes.

Looks like the fun is back on. Also, it goes without saying but Kyrie must be the worst teammate.

Cleveland fans tried to warn everybody...

Also remember this? "Kyrie came in one day to [a film session], he was the first one in film room. He walked up to Brad Stevens and said, ‘What does government mean to you?’"

KD is gonna end up in Miami and I am praying Kyrie gets to The Lakers.

Ben Simmons is the real winner in this all. He wanted his own team, now he has one. Gets to chill in Brooklyn and make a ton of money.

The Nets are fucked too. I just heard The Rockets control their draft picks due to the Hardin deal so they can’t even tear it down because their lottery picks would end up in Houston.

Not just any picks. FULLY UNPROTECTED PICKS and pick swaps every year until 2027 I think.

People clowned the Rockets for the Harden trade because they didn't get any promising young players. Well they are about to get 5 or 6 promising players in the next few years hahah

Phoenix and Miami are KD's preferred destinations but hard to see what packages they can give up. Miami can't trade Bam because he's on a designated rookie extension and you're not allowed to have two players on that contract acquired via trade on the same team. Ben Simmons is on that deal too. So then you're looking at Herro + Robinson + 2 1sts?

Philly is supposedly gonna offer Tobias, Maxey, Thybulle. Don't think they have tradeable picks. Very interested to see what the best trade is. Maybe Ayton plus every pick they have?

I know people give KD shit for it but....what is he supposed to demand a trade to the Kings?

I mean fuck OKC for stealing the Sonics but I wonder how many rings KD, Wesbrook, and Hardin would have if they coulda figured it out in OKC?

He could pick a team that didn't finish with the best regular season record in the league, for starters.
