Around the NBA - Offseason Chatter

[lcd88]

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.

1.That frontcourt is fking disgusting. That's like a free walk to the basket every game.

2. Harden is not a player you throw your farm at. Dude is not a winner but a stat padder. He has never worked well with other star players. His game is hard to watch too.

[Capn'O]

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

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

LP is such a mess. The streams mess up all the time too.

Word to the wise - if you're gonna charge a premium for a product, make it better than the free alternative

This is why I actually switched to ILP on a VPN several years back. I had LP and it was a f*cking sh*tshow to the point of real anger. Then I found the ILP hack, and my whole NBA world opened up. It was like the clouds parted and everything was great in my life.

Sucks to hear it no longer works.

My breaking point with LP was when they decided not to support radio streams to my old mobile phone after auto-renewing my membership. Being on the west coast, I used to listen to EC games on my way home from work basically every day. Unwinding to whatever the best game was (or the best one where my BAF players were playing) was actually worth the service, as much as the actual tv streams pissed me off. It felt so personal. Like, there I was trying to support the league but I (had) an old phone, man. Sue me.

UPDATE:

Mitchell Robinson has relieved me of my duties as his agent and will be seeking new representation.

It was an honor to work on Mitch's behalf the past two days and I wish him the best of luck.

I think the Harden\Heild trades need more discussion

Yes!!!

[Clyde Frazier]

Due to COVID-19, the NBA and the G-League are currently discussing a proposal to play a 12-game regular season, followed by a tournament. This set of games would take place in Atlanta. Similar to the bubble that the NBA set up and hosted at Walt Disney World to complete the 2019-20 season, G-League teams would live in a campus-style environment and would play all of their games at a single-site location.

This sounds like a pretty good solution to me. The more we can get a look at guys the better. Hopefully the g league select team (the team made up of top prospects) will be part of it too.

You mean the made up trades? Lol

Yes!!!

What are the current parameters of each trade that the FO are discussing, according to your sources?

Wow, that was fast

OK, look, I know we're in the same business, but in the name of fair play I'll let you in on how to deal with Mitch

He likes really bright colors. Wear orange or yellow shirts. I signed him after I gave him a Yellow Submarine poster. Then after two days he was like "No more gifts? You're fired".

So keep up a steady stream of brightly colored offerings and you might last longer than me or the Wasserman guys did. Stock up on those Skittles

good article on buddy last year https://www.sactownroyalty.com/2020/1/14/21064923/sacramento-kings-buddy-hield-defense-luke-walton

they can keep him unless its for nothing

Buddy’s individual play and attitude are also massive factors in not only his performance, but also his reputation with the fan base. He’s forcing bad shots on a nightly basis, taking more pull-up three-pointers than ever, and hasn’t exactly endeared himself to fans through multiple nasty comments to the media about his teammates and coaches. No person is more responsible for Buddy Hield’s play and reputation than Buddy Hield.

I’m sure none of this would be an issue if the knicks traded for him though

[thebuzzardman]

In NFL news, the Jets are pulling a Knicks

[ADeP7]

What’s Houston gonna do. Are they really gonna hold off on dealing harden even though he will be a problem

Houston’s coach out here all week talking about harden will show up to practice today and low and behold he’s out partying in Vegas lol

Don't worry, Jags are trying our best to f*ck up our tank right now too.

[YouthMovement]

we pulled off the loss thankfully

[KnicksGadfly]

In NFL news, the Jets are pulling a Knicks

Nah...the Jets would be pulling a Knicks if they beat the Jaguars twice and helped them get a generational player. Adam Gase would feel good about himself, even though we know his ass is getting fired. Some fans would still complain about the tank in this instance even though it clearly wasn’t a tank.

On the low they should see if he would be open to going back to OKC.... and get that horde of draft picks to rebuild.

They seem to want to try to compete. That's why they got Wall.

No, I'm serious. It is. It's a bad idea, but that was the idea. Like something we would have done.
