2018-19 NBA Thread

It's the Hawks. That's what they do. The trade seems incredibly dumb to me, too.

There are a lot of dopes running professional sports franchises.

 

Maybe the Suns won't be awful.

 

Collin Sexton would've made a great Globetrotter. You know, the guy who deftly dribbles all around the court who they never let shoot the ball.

 

The new GM was from Ws, can’t believe Schleck would be that dumb; Jerry Jones move?

 

According to ESPN today, the owners wanted Doncic and the front office wanted Jaren Jackson Jr... so they compromised and made the deal for Trae Young.

I'm struggling with the logic there.

 

At least it's definitely progress. Ayton can play. Ariza looks like a very good addition. I like what Kokoskov is doing.

At this point I'm wondering if they just make Booker the point guard.

 

Between watching Harden and then Booker some, that was some retro 70's D, like the Spurs v. Nuggets from '78.

 

Which announcer is a poster here?

 

Dave Pasch or Mark Jackson, speak up!

 

If John Wall was half as good as he thinks he is, he’d be the NBA logo

 

Sounding the alarm for those of you who are still up or who are scanning YouTube in the morning:

"Who He Play For?" is confirmed to be taking place on Inside the NBA tonight.

For the uninitiated, "Who He Play For?" is an annual segment during the first week of the NBA season in which Charles Barkley is quizzed on the current locations of NBA journeymen. They've been doing this since the early 2000s and he's never gotten more than 2/5 right, normally displaying this delightful open-mouthed stare that is a kaleidoscope of emotions: confusion, embarrassment, trying to remember the actual answer, trying to recall enough info to make an educated guess and on into infinity.
