2021 NBA Offseason

[DJ]

If he doesn't get signed soon, I wonder if the Lakers would sign him (obviously at a discount) and then maybe try to move him during the season?

I have thought this also.

Still holding out hope we get Hield.

 

[The Q]

Are you really doing this? The guy who brags about blogging high school girls basketball calling Shelbourne a no-talent dimwit?

What a misogynistic post.

Wonder what the girls you cover would think about this?

just because a woman is not talented doesn’t make it that….

 

[DJ]

Tad premature, especially if Mobley lives up to expectations. If he does my guess is at worst they fight for a play-in spot. Never mind year 5 would be the following season.

As good as he is (I like him a lot, despite being a Bruin fan) there will be an adjustment period for him in the NBA.

Interesting Tweet. Of these 4 players who should challenge their GM to a fight?

Embiid, Lilliard, Beal or Zion? LOL.

With all these free agency moves I pray and hope we get a full healthy nba season

I'd say Lillard.

Zion's in year 3 now.
Embiid has had a solid roster around him for most of his tenure. No one wants Simmons (you can argue the GM asking for 4 1st round picks, I get it).
Beal should know better. Washington's a crap franchise and has always been ran horribly (sorry @tlance).

Lillard asks for help, and they give him scraps. He's likely gone after this next season.

not necessarily.

So right now the lux tax line is 136 million. That will only continue to go up- especially after Covid stagnation.

Allen just signed to 20M- which is not bad at all. Its pretty much the going rate for a solid player. Love is off the books in 2 years- right when they have to extend Garland- you basically just switch the deals (if Garland wants and deserves a "max"- which i certainly hope he does.

Mobley and Okoro are not extension eligible for years of course. Even when they are- they are still limited to contracts that are only 25% of the cap if they are "max" guys.

Now- who knows what Sexton gets- and if he stays--- 136 million right now is over 5 "max contracts". If they are willing to pay the tax- that goes even higher- which- i mean- Dan G. is worth 35 billion i dont think he will mind.

I worry about much more if the guys will be worth paying- than if they will have the space to pay- especially young guyso n their 1st post-rookie K's.

Yet after James left....he had the FO make trades to drop salary?

He said she belonged in the kitchen.

Can’t get much more misogynistic than that.

Beal hasn’t really asked for a lot.

Can’t understand why.

Can’t understand why.

In 3 years he'll demand a trade to the Lakers to team up with AD.

The Knicks struggled to score in the postseason. Does adding Fournier and Walker (in addition to re-signing their own FA's) make them true contenders?

Contenders, no. A more competitive playoff team if healthy, sure. They still aren't to the level of MIL, BKN, PHI & MIA.

What if it’s true?

Pretty sure you are joking, but those types of jokes don’t play in the current climate.

And that is a terrible thing to say about any woman.

Definitely a joke, but people are way too fn sensitive. Life is too short.
