Mega Thread The NBA Bubble Off AND preseason thread (2020)

[QuietB]

Bit nervous about the Ingram contract, but I guess letting assets get away for nothing would have been the bigger sin.

The small market dilemma.

You have three years off Zion rookie contract to go. Need to spend some money on someone around that.

Kings declined to match on Bogdan squared. The poor get poorer.

This is true to an extant.

On the other hand I'm sure OKC maxing Westbrook or Washington maxing Wall sounded like a good idea at the time too. And those teams at least had some history of playoff success that they could point to. It's understandable when guys like Tatum, Mitchell and Adebayo get maxed to an extant because they've proved themselves in the playoffs. When lottery teams do it, it's a bigger gamble.

The nightmare situation is that the contract becomes an albatross that needs assets attached to it just to dispose of it.

We're betting young, so that's a plus. Hopefully his development last year was a natural progression and not the dreaded contract year production.

As long as you don't go and max Ball next year. That would be silly.

Sac Town reportedly declined to match our offer. Welcome Bogdan!

I am both excited and confused by our off season.

Pistons signs Wayne “The Duke” Ellington.

Good luck stopping the Rose/Ellington backcourt.

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

MVP caliber players?

Like Dangerfield?

Oh yeah, I'm even more nervous about that one.

Strictly a role player is Lonzo.

 

[peternorth]

Bogdan will wear no 13

Heat max Bam which they just had to, but now it means they are gonna lose Herro, Robinson, Nunn etc if they still go for Giannis next off season.

If the Heat do get Giannis, it might just be similar to the Bucks. Butler and Bam give him more help but all three cant really shoot so ...

I think you have to go with the odds. GA is less than 10% to go there.

Well he is now. Before extending Bam I would have said Miami were in the box seat for him

At least one rival team filed a formal complaint to the NBA league office on Wednesday regarding the Milwaukee Bucks' reported sign-and-trade for Bogdan Bogdanovic, sources tell Eric Fischer of Bleacher Report.

Slightly Off Topic, we lost Kobe at the start of the year, and now Maradona at the end (or thereabouts)

It's been a really ******* year in more ways than one.

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Good deal for the Kings I think.

I think Maradona did well to last this long!

Paul Gascoigne likes this.

Bucks were always better than 50%. I'd have them at a minimum of 70%.

Stauskas!!!!!

Season derailed. Chin up peternorth

Should have been fined for even making the absurd application.

What a bloody cheek.

 

[peternorth]

Season derailed. Chin up peternorth

Disgusting corruption from the top.

 

[hamG]

Stauskas!!!!!

Will they be disappointed when they discover he's not one of Giannis' Greek team mates?

Pat Connaughton of the Milwaukee Bucks is leading an investor group with plans to begin developing a new apartment building in the Brewers Hill neighborhood in Milwaukee.

Approximately a half-dozen small businesses in a historic, two-story building will be forced to move for the apartment building that will be built after the existing building is demolished.
