Official 2016 NBA Off-Season Thread: Westbrook staying in OKC for 3 more years. Confirmed MVP

Preseason always means shit. This is when guys get rust out, work on plays, develop chemistry. This is 2015. That old cliche statement doesn’t apply. If you want to be a cohesive unit, it starts from the very beginning. All the good teams know that.

Preseason still doesn’t mean shit

The only stupid motherfuckers that legit thought he deserved MVP was the Rocket’s PR team

THE SACRE LEGEND WILL NEVER DIE

Wall is dumb as hell to keep going at Whiteside inside the paint. I forget, a lot of these teams are clueless cause he only played 48 games last year. They can keep testing him if they want though. He’s already had the highest blocks in a game this preseason in only 1 game.

I’d still take the potential of Upshaw over Sacre averaging 50 claps per game.

The Cavs were gonna offer Thompson 80 mil originally, and the salary cap is going up. Cavs easily got the better deal of this

They gave a bench player more money than James Harden and Stephen Curry. That’s not a good deal for the Cavs.

But what can you expect from an idiotic organization. They’re trying to maximize all of LeJudas’ final years because once he’s gone, they’ll never have another messiah to worship and make them relevant.

So within one week, Harden gets dumped by Khloe and now he’s re-cursed.

Let’s Go Warriors!

Coach Pop named coach of USA Basketball…big honor for him. but man he’s getting old, this shit worries me, all this work he’s taking on. One of LMA’s conditions for coming to San Antonio was Pop sticking around for five years - looks like he meant it

Gerald Green is too much. God damn, these dunks.

Gerald Green fined 25k

For making gun signs

He’s been doing that for years. It’s just the NBA hating on Miami players as usual.

That is smart of LMA. He knows his own success will be with Pop.

Lotta Fun League members changed their keepers, I updated the salaries for you guys. DRAFT IN TWO DAYS. OMG!!!

Gerald scored 20+ three times in preseason, shooting over 50% from 3p range. Book him for 6th Man of the Year.

Starters still only played together twice. Very much a work in progress.

season almost here. basketball is such a great sport.

edit: Ramona Shelburne is too good of a writer to be locked into espn.

great journalism.

Anyone is better that Jemelle Hill

This is going to be the year of Anthony Davis. I can’t wait to witness it.

And I love KD, Westbrook, and iBLOCKa but a suprising amount of people I know have the Thunder winning it all this year, but I just don’t see it. Anyone here think OKC has all the goods necessary?
