[NBA] Comments that don’t warrant a thread (JUN/TDOS)

Ugh. I did get centeled lol

I think technically they could try to pull a S&T with Rui, Reaves, and Vanderbilt going the other way to make it happen. Even then, they'd have to be real careful of the apron and the probably five min contracts they'd have to squeeze in. DFS opting out would help there. But they'd really be basically LeBron, Luka, Reid...Knecht...and pray for rain.

Given the twitter handle, looks like they pulled an NBA Centel

perhaps for those of us who thought this was legit, may I suggest to the mods to disallow posting fake tweets like this especially since the offseason will be active and juicy

How do you propose we do that, short of requiring all posts to be pre-approved? The software doesn't exactly allow for blacklisting tweets from specific accounts; we'd have to ban the whole website.

the best approach may be to state to forum members to not post tweets from accounts that are known to produce fake AI based tweets

Obviously it's not like he did it on purpose. And at the point that he realized it, there were already replies so deleting it could cause some confusion. The whole matter is cleared up so it's not clear what is left to be done.

It’s almost like letting random people buy verified account marks for craps and giggles was a terrible idea.

So do the people who keep putting the Mavs in these discussions not realize that their only tradeable asset is the number one pick this season?

The Danny Ainge playbook:
1- Make a huge trade where you move all your stars for picks/random pieces.
2- Hold on to all those picks and random pieces without really doing anything with them.
3- Promise your fans that you’re really serious about trading them this time/you almost had a deal but it just fell through.
4- Trade them for less value than you could’ve gotten if you had just pulled the trigger earlier. Waste all your picks on random swings that don’t really go anywhere.

In Boston, he lucked out thanks to the Nets immediately imploding the second he traded them KG and Paul Pierce but the TWolves and Caves have been really good over the last three seasons since the trades so now he’s now to like three more picks from the Spida/Gobert deals and has a bunch of random young guys that haven’t really panned out.

So assuming Giannis stays, who’s part of the fireworks? Durant obviously. Maybe Garland, Trae and…..?

I think we have to be involved in these discussions too. Domas/Monk/DDR/LaVine, all depending on the deals being thrown around. We pretty much know for certain our off-season isn't going to be "Kings sign Glenn Robinson III" as the major move.

They are about to get Durant for salary and the 14th pick aren’t they

What's taking so long?

I never mentioned that it was on purpose, simply stating an alternative to identifying false tweets would suffice

Sexton is that dog the Kings lack but dealing with Ainge is a no go

I never realized Rafael Stone looks like the love child of Monte McNair and Billy Joel

It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The media all shuffle in
You've got Sean Cunningham, Morgan Ragan, James Ham
And of course you've got Ailene Voisin
She says, "Son, did you draft me a superstar?
I'm not sure you're winning this hand
'Cause you're sloughing off tricks like they're second-round picks
Can you just help me to understand?"

La-la-la-diddie-dah
La-la-diddie-dah-duh-dum

Wear us a vest, you're the drafting man
Wear us a vest tonight
'Cause we're all in the mood for a press conference
And we think that you talk all right

“The TWolves are interested in acquiring one of the top twenty players of all time while keeping all of their good players”

No crap
