NBA Offseason thread

[grYmes]

Kawhi is one of the few players in the league that embraces playing against Bron, not with him. If he leaves The North, he going to Clipperland.

I can’t remember there ever being a time where a title teams number one player left the following offseason in free agency. That being said Kawhi a different muthafucka so who knows.

As far as LaVar goes he’s doing what’s expected. I’d expect nothing less. The funny thing is I can easily see his son being trade bait if the Pels get to the point where they’re close to contender status the next couple years.

Completely forgot Julius Randle still with the pelicans

 

[BDBOULIBALY]

Julius a Unrestricted free agent

 

[juks]

Just occurred to me that on paper this is cool but this is pretty much

"FUCL SPACING"

No rhyme or reason to this line up, zion and randle are the equivalent of the spider man pic where they pointing at each other

I think a lot of people will still turn out for the Summer League basketball games. He is right that it might hurt the attendance due to the Lakers not having 1st round picks consistently for the next few seasons. More fans I'm sure drive from Los Angeles to Las Vegas to watch that team than any other team.


I'm seriously thinking of going this year.

A lot of folks might show up to watch Zion this year though

I love Thybulle. His floor is Thabo Sefolosha. He’s that good of a defender. It’s crazy to say that about someone who plays in a zone, but his instincts are off the charts. Big-time measurables. Really good leaping athlete. Big hands.

“He’s a better shooter than I want to give him credit for. I want to hate on him, but I think he’s career 38 percent. I don’t think he has the intangibles of a worker or a guy that takes it seriously. If he wanted to, he could dominate games. But then every time I look, he’s averaging 9.7, 10, 11.3 (points). He’s never getting elite numbers. (But), I think he’s an NBA player. He’s a much better offensive player than Andre Roberson. Definitely a better shooter. Better all-around offensive game. (Roberson) was drafted solely because of his defense and rebounding.

I was listening to my guys on locked on heat talk about him

He's obviously not a lotto pick and there's concerns about him playing in a zone all year so maybe in the league he won't be AS good defensively. And he's essentially Andre Roberson but he would need to be as good as him defensively to make up for the fact his offense sucks

I mean the thunder have like the 22nd? Pick they could just replace roberson

Nuggets considered trading for Anthony Davis

Before Saturday’s league-altering trade between New Orleans and the Los Angeles Lakers, which sent Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart and three first-round picks to the Big Easy for Davis, the Nuggets did their due diligence on a potential Davis deal, according to a league source.

Davis, who can be a free agent next summer, had long made it known that he wanted to play alongside LeBron James in Los Angeles. If the Nuggets believed that Davis would’ve considered staying past next season, they would’ve been more aggressive in trying to acquire the six-time All-Star, according to a source. They were confident that that wasn’t the case.

Furthermore, the Pelicans insisted that any potential deal for Davis had to include Nuggets rising star Jamal Murray. That was a non-starter for the Nuggets, who a month ago finished their most successful season in a decade.

The Lakers, with the knowledge that Davis wanted to be there, were willing to give up far more than the Nuggets wanted to offer.

Bron stay shippin out youngins to get his way. Shits hilarious

Homie is like Thanos, bruh.

Sacrifice half the roster for the hope of creating something worthy of his presence.

Leave the team barren and desolate when they are no longer of use to him.

If kl doesn't resign with the Raptors. I wonder if the Raptors would pursue Jimmy

I was trying to think off top but its hard to imagine teams that could use Randle or a team he would really make better as a starter

I think he could be a good 6th man for a few teams though

Maybe the Pacers or Jazz. I think he would be a nice bench piece. Could provide some needed fire power to both squads and they got money to burn
