2025 NBA Offseason Thread

Horford was playing the 4 and doing more of the defending on the perimeter while KP provided the rim protection

Plus they could both stretch the floor which also helped

KP's ability to not just shoot but shoot deep 3s and shot blocking ability is what's so great about him so you definitely want him at the 5

Thanks for packing him up in my absence

Lakers need to make a move I feel like we’re just missing 2-3 pieces to be contending again.

They're gonna have to move on ayton or Robert Williams or see what Orlando wants for one of their bigs.

Celtics sacrificed their financial flexibility putting that championship team together

It always was on a time limit

Especially since the Celtics got new owners

It’s not sustainable

This is also the best time to trade players so porzingis and Jrue being moved today isn’t surprising

Now if they trade another player that will be because of Tatum

Yes it would’ve happened if they won

They got a championship though so it paid off

I think it was one of the top 3 most expensive rings of this era so
it made sense

I really like this move a lot Atlanta but I do understand the health concerns

KP and Trae should be very good, he's always played with a lob threat but not someone who can stretch the floor and KP can cover up a lot defensively


I like the Jalen Johnson/KP front court too

They have a very good starting five if Jalen, Risacher and even Dyson continue to take steps forward

Caris and Onkongwu are solid pieces off the bench

Facts.

All that on paper.

But health is an issue I can't overlook.

Let's see how it plays out.

Hoping KP can stay healthy

Hawks are gonna be pretty bad on transition defense
But they're point of attack defense should be good


I don't really get the Pelicans trade but its definitely a Dumars move. JP and CJ effectively can do the same thing, JP just more athletic
We working on being above mid for above mid money instead of finding a deviation that works.

Walker Kessler is a name for them too if they're willing to pay him

They were approaching the first tax line with nothing even close to competing

A lot of nasty names on this list

Holy shit @ Ian mahinmi

Fucking bum

 

[Sky Davis]

Am I valid chat?

 

[Disanthrope]

So beta, it appears the injury is the reason for the blow up

Tell me why they wouldn't just wait for Tatum to get healthy while they swap places with Orlando in the eastern hierarchy next season?
