2018 NBA offseason

[tlance]

Going to be the most interesting off season we have had in awhile.

My hope is that 1-2 legitimate challengers emerge for the Warriors, but I am not so sure that happens.

We shall see where LeBron lands and who goes with him.

Meh. Mannix is guessing and editorializing for his podcast there.

If I had to spiffball myself... I'd say "scared" is probably the wrong word... no doubt they're aware of such a possibility and the chance Kyrie could walk and the C's gain nothing out of it...

... but the C's are as well run and prepared for the future as any team in the NBA. They have plenty of options, and next summer is a long time away.

"Scared" would be... 'OMG!, Kyrie might walk and we have no Plan B.'

Danny Ainge likely has a plan B, C and D... and I doubt they lose Kyrie for nothing.

Only time will tell, though.

Mike Zarren’s services might be in demand this summer. The Boston Celtics assistant general manager is a leading contender to replace Bryan Colangelo as general manager of the Philadelphia 76ers, The Ringer’s Kevin O’Connor reported Thursday, citing NBA sources. Zarren reportedly interviewed for the job in 2013, but the Sixers instead hired Sam Hinke.

Zarren has been part of the Celtics organization for 10 years and currently serves as team counsel, in addition to his duties as assistant G.M. He a crucial member of president of basketball operations Danny Ainge’s staff and is instrumental in executing the Celtics’ offseason planns. Colangelo resigned as Sixers president of basketball operations Thursday in the aftermath of a team investigation, which revealed his wife operated burner Twitter accounts through which she defended her husband and criticized Sixers players. Head coach Brett Brown reportedly will handle the basketball operations duties in the interim until the team can replace Colangelo. Other candidates to lead the Sixers include current team vice president of player personnel Marc Eversley and team vice president and chief of staff Ned Cohen.

Time for the biggest question of the offseason:

Where will NBA Champion Nick Young sign this summer?

With the season ending this early, we get almost a month of crazy rumors

It's definitely going to be interesting and a roller coaster. Something that hasn't really been brought up much is where Kawhi will be (presumably) traded to. That could have an affect on Lebron's decision.

Apparently, Pop and Kawhi are gonna have a "clear the air" meeting like Pop had with Aldridge pretty soon.

It'll be interesting to see what, if anything, we hear about that meeting after it happens.
