Around the NBA - Offseason Chatter

[DOT]

Good observation I forgot to include Payton in the lineup.
Notice that Bullock along with Randle, DSJr and Mitch gone too. Still I would say there are too many guards. Is that a bad thing for an year?

I am not sure about the draft picks we have to part with.
I think the plan should be to keep as many 2021 picks but so in order to trade it had to be 2022 and 2024 picks. Subsequent years.

Hopefully we can add a decent big in 2021 draft.

PG Harden Rivers Payton
SG Hield Ntilikina/Quickley
SF Barrett Burks
PF Toppin Brazdeikis
C Noel Spellman

And this will go down at 4:30 still?

Not really. Good things take time!

I thought we had already agreed to a Harden trade, you said?

Now you're going back on your word?

I'm beginning to think you're full of sh*t.

league pass international geo blocked all the vpns so I probably won't even watch nearly as much as I used to, which given the state of the team is probably a good thing

Buddy wants out so bad.

I think someone here suggested Knox, DSJ, and a couple second round picks. You think that comes close to getting it done?

Whatever your previous discussion may actually be, the lineup and depth are great though. Harden, Hield, RJ, Toppin, Mitch - I'm in. I don't really like Harden and I love the rebuilding idea as well as the stage we're in, but that lineup is fire.

Apparently they don't always shut down older accounts properly. I accidentally found out that an older account from previous years still worked last year, when I had to restart the app of my most recent account. Maybe you're lucky.

Hopefully xyzstreams doesn't suck this year.

I don't get how NO want to manage their PG situation. Bledsoe + Ball + Kira for ONE position is crazy. And I don't see one of them playing the 2 either, since they have JJ and Hart.

[thebuzzardman]

I think the Harden\Heild trades need more discussion

This article is just as much an indictment on Walton as it is on Hield.

I don't think they acquired Bledsoe to play the position, but much rather for the picks that came with him. Now he sure will play the position for them, but that's not what they brought him in for.

Ball is overrated. They might keep him or trade him for a nice return. I don't think they care much about him, but they will look at his development.

Kira will get burn, but they can now develop him quietly. If they like what they see, they'll make him their future PG. If not, they've still got two more, plus thousands of FRPs.

So...we are trading for Hield and Harden? Wow.

Apparently they don't always shut down older accounts properly. I accidentally found out that an older account from previous years still worked last year, when I had to restart the app of my most recent account. Maybe you're lucky.

I'd actually had the same account since 2015 and it's worked without a hitch right up until about a month ago. But now you can't access the site through a vpn anymore. Lots of people on reddit who were doing this having the same issue. I guess the NBA decided that instead of a little bit of money they would rather get nothing. Probably turning to free streams this year and might look for paid alternatives next year. Regular league pass is trash because of the blackouts and not airing nationally televised games or playoffs and I'm not buying cable either. International league pass aired everything, preseason, summer league, all regular season games, playoffs, the nba draft, postgames, home and away commentary, it's the service you'd wish that league pass was. And I was only paying $13 a year for it. Oh well, it was good while it lasted, unless someone comes up with a workaround in the future in which case I might access my account again and re-subscribe

as it stands I couldn't even access my account, it was set for auto-renewal on december 17th and I had to email them and tell them not to renew it

Total agreement with everything here. I was an ILP viewer for years before cancelling last season, and it was perfection. My only heads up for you is make sure they get you CANCELLED cancelled - that process took me weeks, if not months. Literally the worst customer service experience finding the right department and actually getting them to make the changes to my account.
