2019 Offseason Thread

I’m so easily amused....

Then keep him and stop trying to sell him off to some other team constantly.

For the right offer why not lol. That still doesn't suggest he is even close to the caliber of a Leonard-Collins combo. The difference is night and day.

Not defensively. Love and Nurkic together will get destroyed defensively.

You get per 100 possessions Love is a better defender than both Collins and Leonard?

@msgkings322 @CitySushi thoughts?

Definitely interesting to say the least. I heard the entire interview portion where he mentions the injury and even though he puts the Warriors on blast about the reporting of it, he also praised the medical team and said they were great.

It sounds like there was pressure from all sides, and he even mentioned his teammates pressuring him indirectly by them keep asking if they were good to go.

Also the medical staff in 2018 when Iguodala was injured was completely different from 2019. The head athletic trainer and her staff all left for Atlanta this past off-season.

Iguodala is probably one of the smartest players in the league. He's on a book tour right now and guess who's getting all the clicks on all the hot button topics. On top of that he's been incredibly tight lipped before about all this, but just now stating all this on a media tour. Like you've never heard any of this before from Andre, not even close to being anything remotely in the area of the bombs he's dropping about the organization.

Part of me thinks the truth lies somewhere in the middle between what Iguodala is saying and what the Warriors were doing. Just my opinion.

we arent- we are discussing a rumor that we heard that Portland reached out to try and get him but the Cavs rebuffed the offer since it was terrible.

I think in all likelihood they DO keep him---- but if they can get a good young player or two and a decent pick or two that they would consider moving him.

They arent just moving him for other shit contracts though even though his age does not really lineup with their time table to compete once again in a great way.

well maybe Iguadala has a future in broadcasting because he is absolutely cooked as an NBA player.

You don't want JR on minimum? Like I said he can still shoot lights out

 

[shopson67]

I think he might, but Klay is irrelevant to this discussion.

Because Cavs injuries don't devalue their players, right?

How is that any different from Melo's video?

That trade was ludicrous is my point. Their 1st this year (Little), their 1st last year (Simons, who is due for a bigger role now with Turner gone), those two bigs and more.

What are they going to do, cut him loose? He'll be signed up quick. It's obvious the Warriors feel guilty about the whole situation.

Yeah, it's really weird. People are focusing on what he says about the Warriors, but he truthfully dropped so much negative shit about EVERYONE, LOL. Here's his book tour highlights:

1) Saying Mark Jackson is being blackballed. Mostly because he's highly religious and because the Warriors President Rick Weltz is gay.
2) He's said how Jackson is the ultimate players coach, and was concerned about helping guys to get paid. Kind of indirect shade at Kerr, tbh.
3) Put the 2018 Medical staff on blast, which is no longer a part of the team and part of another organization. Then at the same time praises them.
4) Put the 2019 Medical staff on blast for KD. But again, they're great.
5) Put his TEAMMATES on blast for asking him if he's ready to play and putting pressure on him.

Like whoa man...I get you're trying to sell books but you gotta chill. Andre's never said a negative word about the Warriors and always kept shit in house, but now that you're on a book tour it's cool to just rip the team to the Breakfast Club. Like .... what?

Melo is done and probably wants more money.

hey, man, I'm just saying...

I DON'T want the penchant for bonehead plays that could cost us games...

bingo

 

[CitySushi]

Subliminally forcing a trade because he knows it's the last year for sure with the Warriors as an expiring deal and probably might even be his last year together. Doesn't want this year to be wasted on a team that has a highest aspiration of barely making the playoffs. Andre really is a genius.

they cant he makes like 16M next year and its not like they get any cap space from cutting him.....dude is there for all of next year before he is shoved out the door as fast as humanely possible the following year
