I guess it's no longer the offseason. So, starting this thread.

Kinda figured that would happen. Was hoping he'd choose SA or OKC though.

At this point, I think he does more harm than good if he plays in the 30 min range. His sting in Chicago was deceptively terrible despite decent numbers at first sight. Granted, that Bulls team was quite dysfunctional, from FO to players and coaching, but still.

Looks like it won't go into effect until after the next draft.

I thought he was calling himself a mage and magically predicting the time frame.

I replaced it with a tweet with the same graphic. "Can you see me now?"

Just some predictions for this year.

Cleveland is really going to struggle. Remember when the Lakers brought in the aging Karl Malone and Gary Payton. They were horrible. Old stars rarely make good bench players.

Houston has potential. DAntoni has never really had a pg that can play D. Chris Paul will play D whether McD coaches it or not. Harden's gawdy numbers are going to slip though.

Horrible? They went to the Finals, making it through the WC playoffs with relative ease before losing Malone to injury.

They were the first place losers. Yes, horrible!

OK, OK. Horrible is WAY overstating it. I seem to remember them as being worse than they were. Not sure where that memory came from.

It's fair to say their 56-26 regular season was a disappointment, given the hype. Maybe that's why you remembered them as "horrible."

There was sooo much locker room drama, they didn't win as much as expected, and Shaq left at the end of that season. So from a franchise perspective, it was a terrible year.

I do wonder how Cleveland will do this season. They were so unmotivated last year.

[Indy]

Let's just say they were a horrible group of guys, that had success in the playoffs.

[Hermen]

Haven't seen this posted around but Westbrook signed the extension. So it looks like not everyone is leaving OKC after this year.

I thought RJ was saying that about his free throw shooting as he turned his face away.
