2016 NBA Offseason Thread

[Big Circus]

Derrick Rose to the Knicks.
Robin Lopez, Jose Calderon and Jerian Grant to the Bulls.
Jeff Teague and Thad Young to the Pacers.
George Hill to the Jazz. And picks moving around.

Knicks are telling Rose they're going to make a run at Durant. I don't see it happening, but for a team with Rose (if healthy), Durant, Melo and Porzingis, anything less than the Eastern finals is a failure.

Derrick Rose and his paper parts will never amount to a hill of ****.
I see KD going to Golden State. They will then average 150 per game.

World champion Cleveland Cavaliers have no picks in tonight's draft.

With the 10th pick in the 1st Round the New York Knicks select Dr. David Stein, orthopedic surgeon, Johns Hopkins University

"I'm taken aback but not surprised" -- Jalen Rose on whoever the hell the Hawks picked at 12.

I believe the Thunder might've finally found the right guard to be Westbrook's running mate. Oladipo should be an outstanding fit in OKC.

KD stays in OKC?

KD stays in Oklahoma City with a one year opt out is what I have heard.

It makes the most financial sense

If the Kings want to trade Cousins, isn't now -- before he comes back grumpy and fatigued from the Olympics -- the best time? But ownership, with stars in their eyes and a new arena to fill, won't let it happen.

The Kings have quickly become the worst run franchise in sports

 

[LongTimeListener]

Kings All-Star DeMarcus Cousins told The Undefeated his draft night tweet had nothing to do with the draft. So what was it about? "A hot sculpting class," Cousins said jokingly.

 

[Big Circus]

So how old do we think Thon Maker is?

Research into Thon Maker's age - probably far older than 19 (x-post /r/nba) • /r/MkeBucks

 

[LongTimeListener]

Can someone tell me what on Earth this even means?

Shelburne: Durant needs to give Lakers meeting out of respect

 

[JohnHammond]

Crappy reporter thinking she can tell someone else how to manage their business affairs?

 

[MisterCreosote]

ESPN dip**** is a dip****.

 

[LongTimeListener]

I'm sure she thinks Durant should visit Jerry Buss' grave and go to Kareem's house for morning prayer too.

 

[Michael_ Gee]

I give Durant a lot of credit for holding his meetings with teams in the Hamptons this weekend. "That's a very attractive offer, Pat, but I've got to run it by my man Dustin Hoffman next door before I say anything."

Came across a discussion on r/NBA about whether Durant should sabotage the competition and return to OKC. It would be pretty fun if he made overtures to GS, SA, etc. and those teams gutted their depth to make room for him only to have him stay put. Presumably the teams wouldn't be so naive, and would be more guarded after the DeAndre Jordan fiasco, but imagine the chaos.
