NBA 2020-2021 Season

[Chris2K]

The Bogdanovic/Bucks deal has hit a major snag, that being that Bogdanovic hadn't agreed to it, with Woj reporting it as a done deal way too early and everyone losing their shit when he did.

Here's the best breakdown I can find of it.

[livid]

He and Jrue followed each other on social media after those moves initially happened. He definitely was on board but he can't say that because the Bucks would definitely get penalized for tampering then. They're basically all walking back now to avoid that situation.

It's dumb. Every team in the NBA tampers but people complained about the timing of the Bogdan move so the league had to step in. 

In other NBA news though

I'm stuck between Tampronto Raptors or the Toronto Ramptas.

Typical Canadians, spending their winters in Tampa.

I wish I could switch Basketball teams. I had it all as a kid and took it for granted

I actually like the direction the Bulls are going quite a bit, at least compared to recently. They finally have a front office that is competent.

At least you had it good.

Root for individual players while still rooting for the Bulls. At least it gives you something to still cheer on, with not feeling like you're cheating on your team.

Wow we give you a potential championship contender to cheer for and you do this.

Now you’re an Orlando Magic fan!

 

Seriously though, give us some criteria or stuff to work with.  You want a championship caliber team?  Young stars?  Well established stars? Fun offense?  History of greatness?  History of misery?

Fun to watch and no years ahead of misery plz. Tottenham and Houston is plenty for that.

I assume you mean the Hinrich/Gordon Era.

No years of misery ahead? Hmm...the Lakers? Although, once Lebron leaves, it might be rough again for a year or two.

[Maxx]

We’re back to the Nets.  Though the caveat there is it could go explosively wrong.  Don’t pick the Lakers.

[Pooker]

Nets will only bring misery, especially if they trade for Harden. Might when one championship, if they get lucky, but it'll be just like the last time the Celtics had a big 3.

Jazz re-signed Jordan Clarkson and brought back Derrick Favors all within the first 90 minutes of the off-season. Now to just extend Mitchell and Gobert and that's our off season sorted.

Pretty wild day. Far too much to really post about, but it sounds like John Wall has made it known he wants a trade. This news coming just as the Wizards paid Bertans $80 million. There's not a ton of value in a John Wall trade given his contract but Bradley Beal will fetch a ransom and if one goes you'd assume both will.

[Pooker]

Sounds like they're more wanting to build around Beal, at least the next year or two. But, yea, finding a trade for Wall is going to be next to impossible.

That's why Wall for Westbrook was ideal. Those two and Tobias Harris are the three most unmovable contracts in the league.

Idk what their plan is for Beal but they could net 4 or 5 1sts for him if they work on a trade now.

Sixth Man of the Year Montrezl Harrell is heading to the Lakers on a 2 year deal. Damn, that’s a good signing.

Nobody seems to hate Dwight Howard more than Dwight Howard.
