NBA: Summer 2018 Off Season Thread

!!!



Big men with bad ankle injuries and bad attitudes aren't in high demand.

GSW is buying low on him/signing him to a PROVE IT deal.

He wants to win/learn how to win in the best locker room in the league.

And get dat ring.

If it goes well, he wins a ring and signs a big deal next year wherever he wants.

If not, they cut him. Whatevs. Scoreboard. We're the Warriors.

This is genius.

No kidding. Talk about a home run. There's zero downside
 
Warriors like "you all want to talk about the Lakers huh...well watch this"

NBA is such a joke. Why even play the regular season? Might as well just give the Warriors their rings now. Why would anyone even want to watch the NBA?

It is not like the competitive balance in college sports is any better outside of a handful of blue-blood schools in football and men's basketball.

I bet I could pick 15-20 of the Top 25 in 2030 for football right now easily.

Somebody's watching. Ratings are rising. Even these finals had good ratings.

People are watching and team values are getting bigger and bigger. Nobody is going to mess with it while that's happening.

Hasn't been that long ago that the Celtics won how many totles in a row? The NBA has never been about parity. Super teams have been a part of the game forever

I do agree with your overall point but I wish we could bet on that. 13 teams in the final 2006 (12 years ago like 2030 is away from 2018) poll weren't in the 2018 final poll. I say you don't get more than 15
 
No, I just can’t see this being good for the league. It’s just making it more uneven
Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, a guy with a bow and arrow, and Scarlett Johannson form a super team and nobody complains. The Golden State Warriors do it, and suddenly it's a bad thing.

You must be a warriors fan. This isn’t just a super team, this is 5 of the top 12 players in the nba on 1 team. This is a mega team

Actually, no. I follow the T-wolves.

Look at how many players from the Lakers/Celtics teams from their matchups in the 80s are in the hall of fame.
