NBA season 2018/19

You’re right. Makes this situation even more bizarre.
-
Big move by the Sixers to get Tobias Harris.
He can create for himself, a decent outside shot and on his night can get you 35 plus.
Sixers needed another scoring threat but not just a shooter.
Now Brett Brown has to work out his rotation. They had one of the least productive bench’s in the NBA.

The Markelle Fultz 76ers era comes to an end, going to the Magic. Sixers pick up Jonathan Simmons.
No blockbuster trades in the end.
It's for the best. He can quietly rebuild himself in obscurity in the Florida sunshine. Or drift his way out of the NBA Anthony Bennett style
-
Sixers, Bucks and Raptors all made very good moves that enhance their chances.
These teams smell their chance with a Lebron-less Eastern Conference.

Are the Lakers fucked? LBJ is still awesome, but he's old.
They publicly offered up every player on the roster to try and land Davis, and missed out. That has to fuck with the locker room. In the end they didn't get shit. They are playing in the West, where you need a good record just for the privilige of being smashed by the Warriors in the first round.
No one appears to want to deal with them, so there is a chance they get no one in the off season either.
Disharmony, no big signing, LBJ to request a trade in the off-season (to the Clippers duh duh!!)
-
Saw Brian Windhorst on ESPN basically say that the Pelicans just wanted to fuck with the Lakers this free agency period, as they think they've been tampering to get AD to LA.
So they suckered them into trade talks, leaked every offer they received, which in turn sowed some real disharmony in the squad.
It's a great 'fuck you' strategy, though I'm still guessing Davis wears a Lakers jersey eventually.
-
@barbarian Windhorst is a bit of a puppet for LeBron so I would take his comments with a grain of salt.

That's ESPN as a whole. He's their first second and third story of the day if he takes a shit.

The Lakers make do with trading Zubac and Beazley to the clips for some Muscala guy. I hope he's good because I liked Zubac
Muscala can play. In today’s NBA he’s a good addition. Can shoot outside and open up space for LBJ, Ingram and Kuzma
-
On the Lakers, don’t worry Magic was going to be with the team in Boston to give all those young guys a nice big hug.
-
New Sixers roster looks really good so far - a couple of wins against Denver and the Lakers now in the books.
Fuck the rest of the NBA, the only thing I'm actually interested in this season is who wins the Eastern Conference (and then loses in five to the Warriors).
You can barely separate the four teams at the moment, while the Pacers sans-Oladipo will still hang around...

The East was good fun before the close of the trading, it's even more now.
Spurs had a shocking weekend. Rested their best players v the Warriors to keep them fresh for their other two games, which they got smoked in as well.
-
So, the Warriors look a little shaky, dropping 2 of their last 3, including to a Harden-less Rockets. Is there a glimmer of hope?
Spurs on a horror road trip, in which they are 1-5, going from pushing for 5th to in the battle just to make the 8.
It was an interesting discussion on The Jump this morning, Spurs are rebuilding, is it actually helping them by trying to win all the time? The team has two good players, and a bunch of okay ones, and a great coach (ssshhh Baron) but that is enough to make you a treadmill team. Is that enough?
Although, maybe they are tanking seeing as the lost to the fucking Knicks.
-
Upset day. Rockets just got over the Hornets. Then Wizards beat the Nets, Hawks beat the T-wolves, Heat beat the Warriors, and the Bulls beat the Grizzlies. Mavs leading the Pacers deep in to the 4th as well. Imagine what that multi would have paid?
-
Deeeeeeeeee Wade for threeeeeeeeee
Heat with Wade and Dragic off the bench played well.
-
Blazers over the Celtics, who've dropped their fourth game in a row. Big alarm bells ringing there, and it now looks like Kyrie might leave.
It's been a bizarre fall. This was supposed to be their coronation year, where Hayward gets fit and Tatum becomes a superstar. Instead they've gone backwards, and they don't have any more Brooklyn picks to save them...
