TalkBack / Re: Overwatch Coming To Nintendo Switch in October
« on: September 04, 2019, 06:46:22 PM »
I was expecting them to just gives us a straight port of the console version. Adding motion controls means this was a bigger investment than I anticipated. Very much excited for this.

As the resident "Overwatch for Switch" port beggar I have to say that if this game doesn't come out now I'll never forgive PowerA for this.

There's a world in which JaVale and Dwight play the center role for the Lakers perfectly and everything goes well for them.

This is not that world. The fact that we needed 3 tweets from Woj saying "he's on thin fucking ice" is all we need as proof when he gets cut in January.

Every team can afford to go over the cap. Hell, every team could afford to play in a system without a salary cap. Some owners are just more brazen about their motives than others.

Russ has been traded to Houston for Chris Paul and a boatload of picks (yet again). Russ gets to play with Harden again and enjoy a few years of second round exits. OKC now has the following situation in terms of 1st round picks:

2020 Own (1-20)
2020 Denver (11-30)
2021 Own (Can swap with Houston 5-30)
2021 Miami (Can swap with Houston 5-30)
2022 Own (1-14)
2022 Clippers
2023 Own (Can swap with Clippers)
2023 Miami (15-30)
2024 Own
2024 Houston (5-30)
2024 Clippers
2025 Own (can swap with Clippers/Houston 21-30)
2026 Own
2026 Clippers
2026 Houston (5-30)

Sam Presti is a damn genius.

EDIT: Also CP3 gets $124 million to cosplay late-career Allen Iverson. Congrats, Chris!

I would have hoped this is something that already had a solution, not something you'll "announce further down the line".

I know the commissioner of any league is supposed to carry water for the owners but c'mon man, maybe don't make it this obvious?

I'm just thinking about all the potential playoff matchups next year in the West and I get bummed out. One of these teams is going to be stuck with an impossible series in the FIRST ROUND. End playoff seeding by conference already.

EDIT: Also Russ and PG13 to the Raptors was on the table.

The Lakers just gave Danny Green 2 years, 30 mil.

Good job, Rob.

lol

On the bright side, now the Lakers have all the cap room they can use to sign--bwahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahaha...


EDIT: OH **** PG TO THE CLIPPERS TOO

https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1147383639036092416

EDIT 2: Kawhi pushed George into joining the Clippers and PG then requested a trade. Get fucked Russ.

OKC actually got a good deal. 4 unprotected 1st rounders. 1 protected 1st rounder, 2 pick swaps.

I wasn't expecting almost every domino piece to fall in the first 24 hours.

EDIT:
Shabazz is barely a slightly above replacement-level. Honestly I still love Livingston more than him but there's very little we could get in return for him.

Not even 4 hours later. Napier and Graham are moving to Minny.

Question... So the Warriors offered Qualifying offers to Bell, Cook and Damian Lee. Can they go over the cap to sign them back or will they have to let them go because they are over the cap now?

All 3 fall on the "Early Bird" or "Non-Early Bird" exceptions. Warriors can sign them for between 120%-175% of their previous salary or the league minimum, whichever is higher.

I honestly don't know what to make of this new look Warriors. Short term it will allow the team to stay competitive and the idea of teams having to gameplan for both Steph and DLo sounds like a nightmare. Triple worse once Klay comes back. But our lack of size is really worrying.

KD to Brooklyn, via Woj. Pack it in.

KD, Kyrie and DeAndre Jordan.

The Decision 2.0.

EDIT: Dubs will offer 5 years, $221 million max to KD tonight at 6pm, per Marc Stein.

45
"Depth" is like eight or nine deep and only 13 players can be on the active roster a night. It wouldn't be that difficult to find decent minimum contract role players after using the mid-level exception.

Given that most playoff rotations shorten to 8 players, that means the Lakers, after signing 1 max player and 1 MLE player, would need 3 extra players worthy of playoff minutes that would also agree to sign for league minimum contracts.

Oh and good luck not getting injured.

There's a reason most championship contending teams have an end of the bench rotation held together by duct tape and elbow grease. The Lakers have a real possibility of not even having a good 6th man.

46
Either way there's legitimate reasons why Kahwi would be reticent to join the Lakers, including willingly taking on the third role after leading a Toronto squad. Bomani and Pablo lay it out perfectly. Possible 10(!) guys on minimum contracts!

https://twitter.com/bomani_jones/status/1144712073466777600?s=20

47
so some role players might gravitate there on cheap contracts...

Cheap? More like league minimum. They're going to have to be very creative with who they sign and not strike out on their mid-level exception.

48
I think the injury forced his hand a bit. That opt-in was probably still in the cards until his Achilles blew up.

50
He should recoup on the Dubs dime, with the possibility of coming back for the playoffs, assuming we make it that far.

He's not going to play next season.
