Not sure. Looks like October 19 is date I've seen for when the regular season will begin for 21-22. I would think the release of the regular season schedule would be a couple months before.

This offseason should be wild. In the West, you have LAL,LAC,GS, PHX, Utah and Denver that have to feel like they are contenders next season with the right addition/retentions, plus, teams like the Mavs and Blazers who have superstars they would like to build around. In the East you have MIL, PHI, NJ and ATL that feel like they can get to the finals, with Boston looking to build around Tatum. Basically double digit teams who have reasons to be aggressive to try to win now, it's a good year to be a free agent.

I've seen alot of trade rumors featuring Denver that have Denver dealing Monte.

I am excited for the draft, to see where Luka Garza and Joe Weiskamp end up going. I think they can both sneak into the first round

Sorry there's zero chance Garza goes round 1. Weiskamp maybe.

Every single play in the playoffs is a pick and roll with the worst defender on the court... there is no need for a 7ft center that can't defend.

NBA Draft.Net is my normal go to on draft info and he's not even on the round 2 board.

He didn't have a jimlad but pretty sure he was joking.

Gotcha.
I think Weiskamp can though... fan of his game and think it carries over to NBA well. Probably early second though.

I'm pretty sure some other teams are going to offer THT more money so it's up to the Lakers to match it or let him go.

Heard him getting tossed into a potential Westbrook trade

Very excited about tonight's NBA draft, gonna watch it side by side with the Olympics.

Here's the first Woj bomb regarding the draft.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Not exactly shocking news by Woj. Many have called Cade to be the number 1 pick.

While others maybe excited for this one I'm not. Many experts have said there is a four player draft as far as future super star type talents are concerned.

Watch Cunningham play quite a bit last year and I'm not totally sold on him. A bit of a tweener who wants to play guard but lacks the quickness that's required to play that position in the NBA. Certainly a good prospect with his size and skillset though.

I want to see what GSW do and if Simmons is moved from Philly

In the NBA FA period > NBA draft

Interested to see what Milwaukee does tonight. Have a decent pick at 32. Maybe draft a center or trade pick? Hope they can add some more bodies in FA. Would love to see Norman Powell coming off the bench next year.
