Wait... ready for training camp next season?

Nah, even repair is only 6 months.

[Shabazz]

Man, the West is going to be a bloodbath next year. Every single team is going for the playoffs.

The East may have as many as 6 tankers (ATL, ORL, CHI, BKN, NYK, CLE).

That’s what I thought. Poorly worded tweet by Charania.

possible Suns target.

[UglyTruth]

Wow, that Ball injury is huge. I rarely feel bad for the Lakers, but I really hate seeing players suffer major injuries, especially to their knees/legs. Hope he is able to rest and recover for the 18-19 season.

Technically, the nba year starts July 1st.

The problem with Napier is that he is pretty much only a shot-maker. Very little actually ability to play point.

Yeah, no thanks.

I don't think the Suns have a chance of making the playoffs unless they make major trades / FA acquisitions this offseason. Probably not even then. No disrespect to our guys; it's just hard to increase your win total by 25+ games in one season, especially if the majority of your new talent is below the drinking age. Still very excited to see them look worlds better and win 35 games.

This dude stalked LeBron from the Caribbean to LA.

Agreed. A lot of it depends on how good Ayton really is.

No surprise. Hopefully after Durant wins his third straight title he leaves next summer.

Leaves for Phoenix?

[Split T]

Nah, I know he's not coming here, just want it to feel like someone can beat the warriors.

[Hermen]

I hope these yearly 1+1 contracts don't catch on too much.

[INFORMER]

They will for the NBA uber elite. But second tier stars will take the long-term security.

I think I dislike everything about it. It must be exhausting having a guy like that as a player on your team (from the FO and teammate perspective).

[Aztec Sunsfan]

A god streak of injuries would discourage them to do it, eventually it will. This guys are flirting with disaster.

[INFORMER]

I think disaster is a bit of an overstatement. The uber elite like Durant and LeBron are set for life and have so much income outside of the NBA salary that they can afford to bet on themselves.
