2018 NBA offseason

[Kold]

Just had to stop by for the lolzzz of the Cavs signing Kevin Love to that stupid contract. The face of mediocrity for the next however many years

 

[WiggyRuss]

I'm not gonna lie....

I didn't want Bradley.

But, he and Beverley should be a lockdown defensive combo.

But, if Gallo doesn't have it going...

Tobias and Lou have a heavy offensive load to carry.

Gortat is expiring.

He should be functional in his role.

Happy we kept Montrzl.

But, I absolutely love SG-A.

I think he's gonna be really good.

Robinson can score. But, I'm not sold on him yet.

Should be competitive...

I hope Boban gets some burn.

Its ridiculous for a guy as talented as SGA to go as far down in the draft as he went. I think 10 years from now we are going to eb amazed at how talented this draft is.

lol...10 months from now when the Lakers strike out on Kawhi and Klay, they are going to be dying to give Kemba Walker a more expensive contract than Love--- and if they cant get Kemba they will be calling the Cavs about Love.

I think you have zero clue how much allstars are/will be getting paid in the NBA.

One of the main reasons why the Spurs wanted DeRozan was because he was signed up for 3 more years at 28M a year. That is going to look like a piss in a bucket compared to what a lot of guys are going to get next offseason.

This is a stupid comment considering the loaded free agency class next year.

I highly doubt if the Lakers do miss out on Klay and Kawhi that Kemba Walker is their next option. He is likely pretty far down on that list.

No chance beating the Warriors. That is fact.

The Rockets though?

They are a significant CP3 injury away from possibly missing the playoffs. This is not the same team.

All predictions are based on teams staying healthy. While most teams WON'T stay healthy, it becomes too hard to predict anything when you factor injuries.

Heck, if Curry and KD suffer significant injuries they could miss the playoffs.

It's hard to know how FA will play out next year. I don't think it is out of the question that the Lakers go after Walker.

They may but my point is I doubt he is their 3rd option with the talent out here next summer. I'm pretty sure he is further down the list.

Honestly, probably not.

Houston is 2nd best for sure, but the are in a very precarious spot. CP3 is getting up there and is very injury prone. Capella still isn't locked up. They lost 2 key wing defenders.

There is a lot that could go wrong here and in a hurry.

 

[bksballer89]

I can see DJ being higher on their list than Kemba especially if Ball has a solid year.

Ennis is a solid defender. He's no Ariza but I'm pretty sure he can replace Mbah a Moute

You think the Warriors are a playoff team without KD and Curry?

My initial comment was predicated on the Rockets keeping Capela. If they lose him, then things can get really dicey for them.

Losing Ariza and Mbah will hurt them and I think they won't be as good because of it but they are still probably a 60 win team. Unless Carmelo blows the team up.

Obviously if CP3 gets a major injury that changes things for them.

 

[bksballer89]

On the other side of the ball, Ennis might not have a reputation as an all-world defender, but he does have the tools that defensive coordinator Jeff Bdzelik can utilize. His wingspan isn’t the 7-foot-2 of Ariza, but he’s still able to get his hands in passing lanes and cause disruption. Opponents only converted 28.9 percent of threes defended by Ennis. Ariza developed a penchant for sticking his nose into other players’ business, and Ennis should be able to develop that skill on a consistent basis

James Ennis is a perfect two-way fit for Mike D'Antoni's Rockets

just WiggityWack hoping again, like ALWAYS...

in the meantime, as Kold already stated, Cleveland's trip to wallowing in the doldrums is now a total reality...

Sure. That could happen.

was thinking the same, ESPECIALLY since i think the Rockets are gonna be a tad more suspect on defense...

 

[bksballer89]

Sure. That could happen.

I just don't think Kemba is 3rd on their list as Wiggy is suggesting.

Yeah, they have Ball who is young and they could always bring back Rondo if he has a good season.

They won't be signing a PG next summer IMO.

Why thank you sir....but I haven't played ball in many years.

Magic and I do have a connection since we worked in the same building in Beverly Hills many moons ago.

The flaming butt-hurt is strong with Wiggy.
