The off topic thread #2

Boogie with the Pels. Really didn't see that coming. Traded for 2 busts, a end of bench player and a top 10 pick this coming draft.

Reading the stories of what they demanded from other teams. Fair to say they pissed everyone else off and settled for this deal.

Don't know how you can have two guys that big the way the nba is played these days unless boogie is going to constantly stay on the perimeter.

bball fans should check out KD's interview with Simmons on the ringer podcast. is pretty epic. KD has no filter.

He really hates reporters. Loves a star****er like Simmons though.

not a fan of simmons?

Thought it was refreshing to hear a star athlete speak his mind. so rare these days.

I listen to Simmons because he often gets good guests on his podcast. just listened to one he did with Gladwell. Man is a friggin genius.

I get the feeling Latro isn't a fan of anyone or anything.

He marches to the beat of his own drum that he probably hates the sound of. Respect.

So the NBA didn't veto this trade like they did the CP3 move to Lakers?

Cousins and the brow will be some duo if they can make it work, almost unstoppable.

yeah but i can't see how it'll possibly work. i guess it depends what your definition of work is. If it's an 8th seed in the west next year then yeah it could work. boogie will probably leave for the lakers in FA anyway.

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Probably, something is cooking at the Lakers I reckon.

Though the celtics are a couple of moves away from being a threat again.

ideal scenario for the lakers is getting lonzo ball in the draft assuming they keep their top 3 protected pick and getting boogie in FA.

they'd be a playoff team although not a contender.

Remember we were having that conversation about the state of 90s music? See how long you can last through this pile of shit:

Bojan KantKick that look probably can only be rivalled by serving a salad to a fat kid.

Yeah no idea how that is gonna work. Also why would the Pelicans do that deal knowing he surely walks in the summer anyways??

I mean it could work, if he stays, just surround the two of them with shooters and play inside out.

They gave up nothing for him. Hield is not that good and old for a rookie.

They gave up on Buddy Hield that quickly?? Plus they gave up a draft pick. Draft picks are like gold dust and you gave one up for a guy who will play with you for 6 months.

Weird decision.

18 months. They also turned down a trade for Drummond apparently.

Hield is shooting 39% from the field and is as old as Drummond

Oh does Boogie have another year on his contract?

Yes

 

[jod23]

Yes

Ah ok... excellent trade for the Pels then. They have 18 months to convince him to stay.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

rumours already starting that Calipari will leave kentucky to coach the pels with his connections to boogie and AD.

What about getting a good coach.

he'll be 1 and done in the nba haha

 

[jod23]

Did Casspi move also?

 

[FAITH]

how do you guys rate the NBL? use to follow it closely years ago then it turned to shite.

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Watch it here and there, it's like the A-League for me, if it's on and nothing else is on a Friday or Saturday night I'll tune in for a bit.

Don't have a side I follow though, bit like the A-League again.
