[tyven]

Well to be fair if he still had a knee and different team mates and a different coach he would be right

[archibaldcrane]

the sourest of grapes

Sour grapes would be saying "He's not that good anyway", not simply being mad that they didn't get him and he went to GS instead.

Derrick Rose has apparently lost touch with reality - "With these teams right now, they're saying us and Golden State are the super teams"

You might say he's wearing...

...Rose colored glasses.

Cave and Tyronn Lue agree to a 5yr 35mil extension

So if anyone is wondering what Draymond Green's dick looks like, it's out there following a slight snapchat snafu.

I can't imagine how much shit he's getting from the rest of the Team USA roster.

[kisada]

hahaha

[Vaspinne]

He said he was "hacked" at first lol. Later took credit that he just fucked up

[Dimmauk]

I can't believe Draymond Groined the world.

[Melena]

Vivid has now offered him a 100K to star in Drayzilla

[Serra]

All-Star guard Russell Westbrook and the Oklahoma City Thunder are in serious negotiations on a three-year max extension worth more than $85 million, which could be finalized within the next 48 hours, league sources told ESPN.

oh shit. was expecting to see him traded

[tyven]

Westbrook is ready to be the hero that city needs. Will him and Oladepo be able to play together?

spacing will be an issue. they have a hot-shooting Spaniard coming over in Alex Abrines and they really need him to be a player.

they need Sabonis to be able to space out to at least 18 feet or so as well

[kisada]

spacing definitely will suffer immensely with KD gone, but it's also not like their waiters/roberson combo at SG was any good either. oladipo is still a significant upgrade there

[Moss]

spacing definitely will suffer immensely with KD gone

and Ibaka. a lot will bank on Oladipo's shooting improvements from the end of last season holding up. still an interesting team with intriguing youngsters like Payne, Dipo, Abrines, Sabonis, Adams etc

[kisada]

oh shit i forgot he was gone LOL

ya, they are gonna be pretty weird. but it's not impossible to operate efficiently with what looks like awful spacing (e.g. clippers) if the players are good enough.

[Krandor]

If all else fails we can just watch Russ average a 40 point triple double a game on like 40% shooting with a half dozen turnovers

[kisada]

oh god you just triggered me so hard lol

inb4 40ppg on record usage and inefficiency rates

[Kaslo]

and Ibaka. a lot will bank on Oladipo's shooting improvements from the end of last season holding up. still an interesting team with intriguing youngsters like Payne, Dipo, Abrines, Sabonis, Adams etc

haha good riddance to Ibaka really after the last couple years. He feel in love with the 3 point line harder than an anime girl for a male main character.

[Andalusian girls]

more like they forced him to the 3-point line as the offense increasingly centered around Adams pick and rolls when they bothered to involve a big man. it's kind of amazing how hard opinion has turned against Serge, especially after that playoff run. his shooting and defense were huge reasons OKC advanced as far as they did.

the Thunder are gonna be one funky team next year with Russ + Oladipo chucking up 40+ low-efficiency shots a game and a twin towers lineup of Adams + Kanter gobbling up the misses.
