Dates as of now (likely change) November 18- 2020 NBA Draft https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1326026325581328387 Training Camp and Season start TBD R.D. Mangles posted:Here is the thing, it is that Modern Basketball and small-ball is in my opinion Bull poo poo and basketball should revert to its purest form where one team happens to have found a semi-coordinated gigantic freak of nature who just destroys everyone by being huge. A few years ago, I watched the FIBA Small Nations finals and Malta annihilated Norway in the final because Norway did not have anyone over 6'8" and Malta had this gigantic 7'5" mutant who they could not stop because he was doing things like putting the ball out of reach by lifting it over his head and shooting over their useless, ineffectual arms. It ruled, and you see that pretty much every other level of basketball where you have freaks lighting up teams by being too big and now in the NBA every single team is either a little guard or a small forward playing center and they all switch and the teams all Do Assets and it is lame as hell. In a real basketball league, every year Boban would be the MVP because it would be illegal to make him guard perimeter shooters and he can just anchor himself to the paint like a mythological creature somehow chained to a mountain and swat pathetic layup attempts and also goaltending would be legal so they couldn't shoot threes. Look, I'm not a monster. You can have Steph Curry and Dame, and even the vile and disgusting James Harden. The NBA needs to sell sneakers to small children. But in a real basketball league, any team attempting to put a 6'5" guy at center because he's "switchable" so he can do Sloane Conferencing for 35 minutes a night would get smashed as an unfathomably enormous guy who has to wear prescription shoes has stuck out his arm and the smaller player is helpless to lunge at the ball. I am available for speaking engagements, conferences, and to fill any vacant GM roles in the National Basketball Association. https://twitter.com/P_Funk36/status/1328843386737012746?s=19 Lockback fucked around with this message at 00:48 on Nov 18, 2020 |

This could be wrong but looks like FA is slightly further back. https://twitter.com/TheHoopCentral/status/1315726285084135424

Well, this will be an exciting offseason for the Raptors. How exactly does one go about fixing a half-court offence without loving up the rest of it? I guess I'm still a little shook because the last time they went to solve a shot creation problem they ended up signing Hedo Turkoglu.

Not surprised they are pushing Free Agency back. Bowl Season is way better for hyping up the sort of This League! transaction chasing than during Thanksgiving.

All from John Hollinger here: https://theathletic.com/2132885/202..._shared_article He goes into more detail under each heading, but these give a decent rough approximation. quote:Early-mid November — Determine the 2020-21 salary cap and reset player option dates quote:Nov. 18 — NBA draft quote:Late November — Announce when next season starts quote:Late November or Dec. 1 — Free agency quote:December — Make the schedule quote:Jan. 18 — NBA season starts?

I hope they do a coaching roundtable episode again about the bubble. Or even Ernie, Chuck and Kenny and the crew doing one of their sitdowns with players from the bubble to hear stories. E: And a documentary of course. And a book even. I'm jonesing.

anthony edwards would be a big improvement over dillon brooks why doesn't anyone want the #1 pick e: at the very least, at least that means that no one will trade the warriors anything nice either

I'd be 100% on board with watching anthony edwards stink it up for 3 years before he starts to figure things out if it weren't for KAT wanting the exact opposite of that. Just trying to look out for the big guy

Is there anyone the Heat can pick up to take them over the top? Alternately, what about the Nuggets? Both teams won my heart this year, and now that the Lakers got theirs, I wouldn't mind seeing a Nuggets/Heat finals next year.
