[Short Fuse] NBA Offseason 2020
Out of nowhere the NBA Draft is tonight. Lame-lo Ball is predicted to go #1. I am not buying it.

You're not buying that he'll be the #1 pick or you're not buying that he's worth the #1 pick?

Oh he will go #1 based on FOMO, but the baller brand is all hype and no bite.Ralph-Wiggum wrote: ↑Wed Nov 18, 2020 2:24 pm You're not buying that he'll be the #1 pick or you're not buying that he's worth the #1 pick?
In other news, the Lakers trade Danny Green and a draft pick for guard Dennis Schroder. A great pick up in anticipation of Rondo leaving for a paycheck.

I don't get Harden and Westbrook. Harden asked for Westbrook. Then they both sign off on the new coach. Now they're both asking for trades out of Houston. Shouldn't they have done that right after D'Antoni left or at least waited to see how the start of the season went? Houston sports are very 2020.

Remember when Dwight came to Houston to get a ring? He only got one by slinking back to the Lakers for minimal salary.

Excited to see where the hometown kid goes; Kira Lewis.
My son and him were acquaintances since he played BB, and my son soccer, at Hazel Green High. My son is 2 years older and they didn't hang out. Told my son too bad you weren't closer and maybe you'd could have been part of his NBA posse.

The T-wolves ignore the Lame-lo hype and go with shooting guard Anthony Edwards out of Georgia #1.

Even the legendary Kobe never came back effectively from that injury.

Chauncey Billups did, but he got it when he was younger than Kobe.

Re: [Short Fuse] NBA Offseason 2020
Lakers nab Dennis Schroder, Montrezl Harrell, Marc Gasol, and Wes Matthews in free agency. And they still have Kuzma while Rondo and Dwight are gone. What in the actual fuck?

Houston signs Boogie Cousins to a one year deal. Hope he can still play.

Re: [Short Fuse] NBA Offseason 2020
Houston trades Westbrook to the Wizards for John Wall plus a draft pick. I like John Wall, but with a (legendary) Achilles heel injury, don't think I would pull that trigger. Harden throws Westbrook under the bus (again) and says he prefers Wall.

Re: [Short Fuse] NBA Offseason 2020
Harden has been slow in reporting to the Rockets. He's now in isolation. I guess he's trying to force the trade he wants. I don't understand how the trade would work. I know the NBA has crazy trade rules, but if the point is to get Harden, Durant and Kyrie together, who would they trade to be worth it to the Rockets?

Re: [Short Fuse] NBA Offseason 2020
New Lakers lookin' good (WTF, it's preseason?). Talen Horton-Tucker is good? Who knew?
Don't think we will see a Gasol brother reunion in LA. Pau can't make the Lakers' second team.
