actually this is a good list. I think I'd change a couple, though I'm not 100% sure of other team's cap situations...

I'm thinking Boogie stays with the Dubs, and Randee goes to the Clips...

Yeah there are a couple where I have no clue. I think Randle will get frisky and the Knicks offer him a huge contract bc they can't sign anyone else lol

I would be VERY surprised to see Russell go back to the Lakers. There seems to be some clear bad blood there. The rest seem pretty reasonable. Lots of Knicks fans might need to be put on suicide watch if it plays out this way though.

I feel like a potential sleeper team for D'Lo is the 76ers. No one really knows what is going to go on with Butler and Harris, but if they move on D'Lo might be a great fit. Another play making guard with shooting and scoring abilities could help compliment Simmons.

This offseason is the "who the fuck knows" of all offseasons. I really have no clue what people are going to do. It's a huge domino effect. I think some teams have their targets, but things will get messy real quick when you see something weird.

The most who the fuck knows goes to the Knicks, Kings and Clippers. If the Clippers don't get Kawhi I feel like they're going to pivot into a few different directions. Could make them alter the choice of going after Horford. Maybe they want to pair two younger players? The Kings and Knicks all have big cap space to throw around but who wants to go play for them? Kings gonna land a better version of Harrison Barnes in Tobias Harris? Knicks gonna max out Brogdon? Shieeeet.

Like I said...WHO THE FUCK KNOWS.

In Russell's case that bad blood was mostly on Magic. He's gone now obviously, so the situation is possibly changed...

We'll see...

If Durant walks I see the Warriors getting a guy like Tobias

Warriors don't have the cap space. If Durant walks, there's no real compensation to be had. We'll still only have the MLE available.

The Sixers are the biggest question marks for all these imo and it could really shake things up. Tobias and Jimmy.

 

[Black Adam]

Enis Kanter to the Lakers possibly...

not me saying it, BSpn...

I think all the bad blood is gone. Magic is gone. Lebron and AD are there now and you know they are probably recruiting him, he said those 2 guys are in his dream starting 5. I wouldn't be surprised at all but who really knows.

Yeah, like I said, who the fuck knows. What do the Mavericks do if they don't land Kemba or Horford?

 

[CitySushi]

If Durant wants to go the to the Nets, I'm fine with a sign and trade. Just have them send back Caris Levert and they can keep their draft compensation.

[Shanemansj13]

Yeah, like I said, who the fuck knows. What do the Mavericks do if they don't land Kemba or Horford?

They probably look to get anyone. Maybe Vucevic unless he signs with ORL immediately. They might just go after a guy like Mirotic and role players then. The Mavs always have a tough time getting bigtime FA's. I could see Horford going to the Clippers

 

[Shanemansj13]

Anyone else with a prediction list? ffs

 

[trojanfan12]

Apparently, the blood isn't that bad.

Awhile back when asked about the possibility of returning to the Lakers, he had said something to the effect of the Lakers "not being part of his legacy".

But more recently he said that with Magic out, he'd consider it.

I'll be a little surprised if he ends up with the Lakers, but I think it's a real possibility. Especially if they are the only contending type team that tries to sign him.

yeah, I could see Horford rolling with Doc...

dump Iggy and that can change

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Anyone else with a prediction list? ffs

Kyrie Irving - Nets (98% done deal)
Kristaps Porzingis - Mavericks (done deal)

Kevin Durant - Warriors
Kawhi Leonard - Raptors
Jimmy Butler - Sixers
Kemba Walker - Hornets
Klay Thompson - Warriors
Tobias Harris - Sixers
Al Horford - Knicks
D'Angelo Russell - Lakers
Nikola Vucevic - Magic
DeMarcus Cousins - Lakers

DeAndre Jordan - Nets or Knicks
Julius Randle - Pels

I believe they still can't get a max FA. They would only have around $18M or so. You have that cap hold on Klay until he signs max
