NBA Offseason 2017 |OT| Only Big Ballers™ Allowed *please pay $495 to be a Big Baller

It's crazy how much Laker fans have turned into old school Warriors fans .

Back in the day when we thrived off of summer league and big performances from players there .

Enjoy it, scrubs .

I'd definitely take PG over Klay but only if I'm starting a team from scratch. Klay is a much better fit for GSW.

Same. Klay is better but also more likely to have a bad night, so you can't really rely on him as the primary scorer.

Although I'm kinda hoping he's the best player on a team someday to see what he can do.

It's been a tough 3 years.

But Laker fans are used to adversity so we got through this tough time.

Now in to the good stuff. It's going to be lit when Lonzo wins 74 games in a season a few years from now.

Klay isn't better than PG lol. Let's see Klay be the no. 1 option on a team first before we say crazy things like that.

If he could put the ball on the floor a bit better then he'd be a fine 1st option. Until then...he's going to need a good PG and some spacers lol

Yea he can't really create separation by himself too much which is pretty much needed to be in that PG, Durant, Lebron tier. I don't think people really realize just how good PG is

He fits the Warriors better than PG would.

It's not always about talent.

Sometimes it is about how the pieces fit together.

I would rather have Klay on my team than PG. Klay is the one of the best 3 and D guys of all time. PG is a star not good enough to win anything.

Can confirm Pelicans interest in Rajon Rondo. Trade talks stalling for Reggie Jackson. DeMarcus Cousins wants Rondo.

Sources say Kings VP Scott Perry and Knicks have come to agreement to become Knicks new GM

If you're wondering why the Knicks would be hiring from the Kings FO of all places, Perry was hired in April 2017 by the kings. So if you liked their draft picks, FA acquisitions, and all their other moves since then, Perry likely played a big role in that.

This probably plays a role in this next part btw:

Melo trade update: despite thoughts Ryan Anderson is the hold up. I'm told the teams are trying to find a home for big man Myers Leonard.

The New York Knicks are pausing trade talks centered on Carmelo Anthony and want to pursue a conversation with the eight-team NBA All-Star about possibly reincorporating him into the organization, league sources told ESPN.

After talking with the Houston Rockets and Cleveland Cavaliers for nearly a month to help engineer deals for Anthony, the Knicks told both teams that they're stepping back from trade talks for a short time, league sources said.

Anthony was eager to waive his no-trade clause to join either team.

The departure of Phil Jackson as president -- and the impending arrival of Sacramento executive Scott Perry as general manager -- has pushed the franchise's top basketball executive Steve Mills to reconsider the Knicks' intentions on trading Anthony, league sources said.

It is believed the timing of that communication with Houston and Cleveland coincided with the clandestine negotiations that were ongoing with Sacramento and Perry, the Kings VP of Basketball Operations.

The Knicks have reached an agreement in principle on a deal to make Perry the team's new GM, but consummation of the hiring is pending the Knicks and Kings arriving at terms on compensation, league sources said.

The Knicks want Anthony to meet with the new front office and coach Jeff Hornacek in the near future, but it's unlikely that Anthony will respond with eagerness about a plan to reincorporate himself into a franchise that has been pushing him -- publicly and privately -- to accept a trade out of New York, league sources said.

Anthony has been fully focused on getting a deal done, especially with advanced talks that surrounded Houston. The Rockets were working on a four-team trade with the Knicks that had gained traction throughout the week, league sources said.

The Rockets have been eager to partner Anthony with Chris Paul and James Harden.

Perry please do this. And Melo, continue to put pressure please.
 
Bender had a cool 20/7/5 line for the Suns today, I really wanted Danny to unleash the Dragan last year but he didn't and I'm fine with Jaylen and shit but I still think Bender will be awesome.
