NBA Thread: The Offs - Round 1

OKC summer league team takes the floor today. Giddey, Poku, Chet, Tre Mann, Ousmane Dieng and both versions of Jalen Williams. Should be a very spicy squad

 

The only way to fix the leak part is to tear up the ways modern drafts are covered by every network and take it back to 1972. Since that's never happening, the leaks are never going away.

 

I mean the NBA could take a hard line stance to the reporters who leak and say you're not allowed access to certain things. Don't know if it would stop it, there's always going to be some rogues, but would certainly make people reconsider, I would think.

 

This is one of the worst ideas I've ever heard and will never happen.

 

The NBA does not want to fix the leak issue, those leaks and insider helps drive attention to the league.

 

There’s only a “leak issue” if you’re a terminally online basketball fan who can’t turn off Twitter while watching the draft broadcast.

They’re not restructuring their telecasts or implementing new guidelines restricting media access to appease that group because they’ll just find something new to bitch about once they fix that

 

The leak issue to me is that they leak it on their broadcast. Keep it on Twitter so people who want it can access it, but stop doing it on the draft shows

Trades is the bigger issue to me. Not knowing who is picking for who, or what the trade was until like 10 picks later.

 

Ja so wholesome, love this guy.

 

That's better than their actual lineup to finish the season

 

That's fine but ESPN had guys on their broadcasting blatantly tipping picks in advance though

 

Interesting claim. Why would the Spurs do that?

 

Because they do have to actually have a roster and Roby knows how to tank

 

But what are the Spurs up to?

 

I low-key wanted Portland to sign him as a cheap backup to Nurkic

 

We don’t need KD anyway. Got the next Dirk Dump

 

Good for him. Got game sealing steal tonight

 

Thank you Chris

 

The twin school shooters…uh…towers lineups are looking formidable

 

Fucking yikes

 

When is Silver going to step in and force all these teams that are obviously tanking to hire a Colangelo? The integrity of the game is at stake!

 

jrmy what the fuck are you doing man

 

bol bol? chris boucher?

 

I see we can’t make fun of white people anymore around here sheeeeesh

 

Summer league is Chet’s level

 

Respect draftexpress but acting like Chet and Wembanyama are similar prospects is hilarious

 

Is Wembanyama taller/longer and more fluid? Don’t know enough about his game aside from cooking Rudy.

 

He’s better in everything than Chet besides outside shot

Not sure his age but Chet was a very old freshman

 

Wasn’t Chet older than Jaden Ivey or one of the other sophs?

 

Put me down as #1 Chet hater, I can’t see him being that good even in today’s nba

DPOY potential, gain 50 pounds then maybe

 

he's 7'1 and turned 20 two months ago. maybe give it a couple of years before we start worrying about the weight.

 

nice video with a ton of his plays

 

Huge Chet fan and can’t believe Orlando passed on him

 

I am rooting for Chet but also find him talking trash after a summer league game hilarious

 

It should be pointed out Chet played against a team that at one point missed 14 consecutive shots

 

Well yeah. Chet Holmgren was defending them.

 

Definitely taller and longer, eh on the fluidity but he's also like 2-3 full years younger than Chet
