2017 NBA Offseason Thread: Magic Johnson and Phil Jackson race to the bottom

[Buffy]

After all those years cheering for Rose and hoping he would come back healthy, I'd just like him to have a moderately successful season at this point.

[kisada]

even after the rape stuff too?

Mr. Glass to the Lebrons = Tio Drew to SA!

Yah it gets kinda ethically tricky. Rothlisburger comes to mind.

D rose was supposed to destroy the Le bron caveliers not join them. He was supposed to bring balance to the division not leave it in darkness.

Does this apply?

[Deejay]

Knicks let him walk cause WE GETTING KYRIE BABY WHOOOOOO

[Deejay]

Not gonna lie, these Melo trade rumors are getting me HOT.

This must be what women feel like when they know their boo is scheming to propose. #anxious

Brandon Knight tore his ACL, done for the season.

Blazers dumped Crabbe off to the Nets for Andrew Nicholson (who will be waived)

[Krandor]

McGee resigned with the Dubs.

So they replaced Ian Clark, McAdoo, and Matt Barnes with Nick Young, Jordan Bell, and Cassipi, because obviously they needed to improve their bench even more. L I G H T Y E A R S

Waking up to the JaVale re-signing was a good look. The Casspi addition is great too.

Going to be another good one in The Bay!

Too bad Cleveland invalidated all those moves with a few flicks of a pen signing Jose Calderon and Jeff Green. Checkmate Klaytheists

[kisada]

NBA Live 18 adds the WNBA

Today, Electronic Arts announced that WNBA teams and players will be playable in NBA LIVE 18, launching this Autumn on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. The WNBA will be available in WNBA Play Now, and teams and player skills have been specifically balanced to reflect the unique playstyle of the league and skills of its players. This is the first time the official WNBA’s roster of teams and players will appear in a video game, and will be available only in NBA LIVE 18.

“We are extremely proud to partner with the WNBA and the Women’s National Basketball Players Association (WNBPA) on this groundbreaking occasion,” said NBA LIVE Executive Producer Sean O’Brien. “The WNBA is home to some of the most incredible athletes on the planet, and we’ve been working hard to integrate them into our game in an authentic and meaningful way. This is only a taste of what we have in store, and look forward to working with the league on more great integrations in the franchise in the future.”

“We are delighted to collaborate and make history with EA as NBA LIVE 18 becomes the first video game to feature the WNBA’s full roster of teams and players,” said WNBA President Lisa Borders. “With EA’s expertise and ingenuity, the game will provide a terrific platform to showcase the players and the league, enabling fans to experience the WNBA in a new, exciting way.”

"On behalf of the players, we believe that combining technology and entertainment is a powerful way to not only recognize and value our brand of basketball but to also increase fan connectivity and engagement,” said Nneka Ogwumike, WNBPA President/LA Sparks.

In order to incorporate the league’s teams and players, the NBA LIVE 18 team conducted head scans of star athletes like Maya Moore, Brittney Griner, Diana Taurasi, Tina Charles, Sylvia Fowles, Alisha Gray, Chelsea Gray, Jonquel Jones, and Alyssa Thomas, and held motion capture sessions with 2017 WNBA Draft first overall pick, Kelsey Plum, among others. Additionally, game creators fine-tuned player ratings and skill moves in order to present the league and its stars in the most authentic way possible. Fans will be able to experience the best of the WNBA when NBA LIVE 18 launches this Autumn.
