**OFFICIAL 2019 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD**

[getback]

Chris Paul gets to end his career in the basketball abyss. Never won anything, and never will.

Glorious

**** CPO

Chris Paul getting sent to the Night's Watch to finish out his career.

He's gonna get bought out and wind up back in the playoffs. Watch.

OKC got a decent haul
houston hit the panic button

surprised riley didn't pull the trigger

steve francis 2.0

 

[junglejim]

My gut says it will

If only we had history to show us whether it will work or not

 

[rolaholic]

Lame.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

TBT
Broskis for life

Nothing but love right there man. No bull

 

[Chopper]

Paul going to request a trade immediately.

 

[sooperhooper]

If cp goes to either la team, i think they win the chip.

 

[mr jordan04]

How does it work if they buy him out? They have to pay him his WHOLE salary, minus whatever any NBA team signs him for? And he can sign with anybody for $5 million?

What incentive do they have to buy him out?

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Russ gotta transform into a 35% 3PT shooter

 

[antidope]

Waits for the Chris Paul to the Lakers talk

I waited five minutes

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

Might be the greatest shot ever. It blew up an entire team.

 

[g-time]

I definitely want to see changes offensively. Mike d’antoni shouldn’t be brought back either after his contract is up. Harden has worked on his game every summer and comes back better, I’m expecting that midrange shot to be taken more from him next season. Plus movement without the basketball

Absolutely agree on those two statements. Those HAVE to happen. I’d also add in there knowing when not to shoot and looking for the better shot (even if it means it’s not him).

 

[lynchpin33]

Lol, it's just the padding.

Apparently Iggy doesnt think so.... Fast Fat Dude with Hops

Harden and Russ both and at the same time.

People were saying how Harden and CP3 could co-exist being dominant ball handlers and now its Russ. He and PG didnt go well, this is?

Paul and Harden are responsible for 65-17 and 53-29, 2 years of very efficient offenses. I'm more concerned with Westbrook's speed in relation to the other Rockets players. The rest of the Rockets players are gonna have to take PEDs.

Also, one of the Rockets biggest problems last year was rebounding, so they trade for a guy that pushes his teammates out the way for rebounds

 

[thasoleful1]

Presti blew the PG trade, would have loved for them to take Shamet or Harrell as building blocks. They had so much leverage on the Clippers too.

 

[blastercombo]

Man that rebuild options are set. Can’t be mad at all at okc and they did pg and Russ right.

 

[numbah1grimey]

I really want Harden and Russ to get a ring!!!!

 

[pmatic]

A buy-out is not happening:

 

[rolaholic]

OKC tried to fleece Riley hard

 

[addict4sneakers]

0% chance I’m getting bought out of a $125M contract. Forget a championship

 

[solefx]

Dantoni for the first time ever going to tell a player to shoot the 2 over the 3

 

[HIM]

CP3 getting passed around like a thot.


My Thunder

Also, Rockets fans having to root for Russ gonna be funny

 

[Clyde Frog]

Russ gotta transform into a 35% 3PT shooter

He sure as hell gonna let them shuts fly in that system and it’s not gonna be no 35% lol

 

[lvjordan238]

How does it work if they buy him out? They have to pay him his WHOLE salary, minus whatever any NBA team signs him for? And he can sign with anybody for $5 million?

What incentive do they have to buy him out?

CP3 and the Thunder can negotiate a buy-out for any amount. Could be a million could be the entirety of the contract.

 

[moe200069]

okc gonna go full rebuild and trade cp3 for young assets and draft picks

wonder if miami has an interest in pairing him with jimmy?
