2018-2019 NBA Season Thread [Archived] Basketball

Well that offseason was quick.

Let's draft!

 

And we're here

 

When the Warriors win again this year I'll have this post made in June of 2018 to be like "see I told you the NBA was predictable now."

 

New New has been enforced. It is time

 

I predicted the warriors winning next year like three years ago for the record

My wolves prediction isn’t looking as good. Gonna need to see some jumps.

 

Rockets

 

Bulls gonna be bad again.

Hopefully we can add another Duke player to go with WCJ in next year’s draft.

 

Who’s everyone’s early Rookie of the Year prediction?

 

Bagley.

 

I think Doncic is in the best position considering his past production, he will have the ball in his hands a lot, and he will probably play a lot.

 

Also I’d say Trae Young. He’s gonna get to shoot a lotttttt. Won’t have pretty percentages but I can see him scoring quite a bit

 

Get Barrett and then I’ll be a Bulls fan.

 

Idk how they're gonna be worse since I think carter is gonna help them right away

 

They won 11 games because Niko exploded, won a lot of really close games, which you expect to not be the case again, and fewer teams will be actively tanking to feast on.

I expect the same or fewer wins from the Bulls.

 

Okay, fair but the lottery rules change next season so maybe that'll make it harder

 

Go Bulls, let's do this for RJ Barrett!

 

Also, NBA twitter is incredible:

 

I just have very little faith in the Bulls org.

And I am also pretty low on LaVine. Although I was encouraged by Nick Fridell’s report that the Bulls are going to force LaVine to get an offer and then they will decide if they will match. I was concerned the Bulls would overpay to save some face after the Butler trade.

Anyway, we will see!

Edit: That’s my Bulls!

 

Nuggets land Bron, win championship
Repeat next year

Let's go

 

They also thought it would be better to trade away a contributor on a championship team for $3.5 million in cash. So who knows.

I like LaVine overall, he was fine last year for a guy coming off an ACL, but I definitely don't want to pay a huge salary when he hasn't shown that he deserves it.

 

Free agency is gonna be strange with some of these contracts

 

We're #1! Out by #2! We're #1! Out by #2!

 

Not the Will we wanted

 

Bud’s Bucks winning the first playoff series for the franchise in 18 years, heard it here first.
