2019 Offseason Thread

Yeah but you most likely have to give up Winslow. I mean they gave up Richardson so they obviously want to contend this year.

Not necessarily

If it comes to that, then so be it.
Assuming Dragic is part of trade, Winslow moves to PG.
If you get Westbrook, he'd be PG anyway.
Herro looks like he can play PG.
Yes. I'd love to keep Winslow, but he's not a deal breaker to me.

Of course it isn't. 2 1st's and give up only one young player isn't giving up a lot.

Nets didn't even want a 1st from the Warriors. It was KD who was upset at the trade value of him going to Brooklyn for DLo. Turns out the Warriors 1st round pick is substantially protected (top 20) and if it isn't it conveys a 2nd round pick instead. LOL. KD being extra until the very end.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Not necessarily

"At another point in the discussions this week, the Thunder asked the Heat to include two among Herro, Bam Adebayo and Justise Winslow, according to a source in touch with one of the two teams. The Heat also is opposed to including Adebayo"

They want 2 players and I'm assuming they want Winslow so it isn't a done deal he is included but it makes more sense bc they would need a big man after this trade so they keep Bam.

OF COURSE KD would upset about something like that LOL.

Sorry Kevin you got traded for DLo straight up hahaha. Your legacy is ruined forever!!

Not to open any wounds, but Deng, Mozgov were part of that summer.
There are many, many more.

As far as James Johnson, no he's not worth that money today, but when he's been healthy, he's been pretty good.

He's a tough defender, nice ball handler, decent shot, and an enforcer on the court.
You can do way worse then having him on your roster.

I know.

Previous management. Those 2 were horrible....

 

[dtgold88]

So you’re giving experts opinions again?
Any of them have Josh Jackson as franchise changing player for at least 7 years?

Did you even look at that chart/link I posted earlier?


In a year or two from now, a redraft will have the top 20 totally different.

No doubt it will but at this point as likely Herro goes top 10 as it is outside top 20.

I mean on one hand he's doing the Warriors a favor by facilitating the sign and trade. But on the other hand is petty and makes them also give up a 1st for no damn reason. Like make up your mind fam.

I really don't like this time of year for sports on TV but I love it for,NBA FA....and tradea....

 

[shopson67]

Paul George, Kawhi Leanord, Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving....

Ffs Trevor Ariza, Marcus Morris

That's just the last 2 Offseasons.

Ps. I know your question was in jest...lol

Marcus Morris appears to be all about the money, not sure if he fits in with those others.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Yeah.

I am thinking the obstacle might end up being a combination of this and what I think @thunderc said.

Value wise, Miami does not think they should have to give Herro or Bam. And I tend to agree with that. OKC really needs to get one of those guys back, however, because trading Russ to Miami devalues those future Heat picks they already hold.

They should deal with Detroit for picks starting in 2024 because Detroit is a guaranteed tank job lol

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Marcus Morris appears to be all about the money, not sure if he fits in with those others.

To his credit he's been quite a bargain the last few years

 

[shopson67]

Meaning what? Tell disgruntled players to shut up and play? Good luck with the effect on his effort.

If more did that, fewer would ask.

 

[dtgold88]

This could certainly happen, but have we not learned that more often than not the big deals that go down are not expected?

 

[shopson67]

Had to look the info up but cbdMD products have no THC in them. But if you get CBD's infused w/ THC @ a dispensary the CBD's work quicker when mixed w/ THC.

THC or not, it's still medicine derived from marijuana

I was just posting a tweet. As I stated last night, I don't care much either way

 

[shopson67]

is he the worst starting center in the NBA? or at best top 3 worst?

is there a reason why he got a 2 year contract worth 8 million dollars?

Let me answer my own questions

1. yes- he is arguably the worst

2. There IS a reason why he got the contract he got- no one wanted him. its a funny little league the NBA but for the most part, players that teams actually want tend to get paid. Hence why a guy like Thomas Bryant or Zubac or even Taj Gibson got paid, while McGee was left with scraps.

its for a simple reason. Its because hes not a good NBA player.

So now you indirectly shit on guys like Thomas Bryant and Taj Gibson for no reason. Ever occur to you that McGee WANTED to stay with Lebron/AD and didn't accept other offers? The reason some of these guys were still available last Saturday for the Lakers to sign was for that exact reason.

 

[shopson67]

He wants to re-join the Lakers.....LOL.

Fucker is worth 12 million.....WTF did he really do to earn that moolah?

 

[shopson67]

as for the 27 million-

i mean- use your brain- you just saw it with the Heat a few months ago

if you want to trade a shit bag contract for another shit bag contract- its not difficult- hence hte Tyler Johnson for Ryan Anderson trade.

You dealt Whiteside, "maybe the most dominant center in the league" for a center making 11 million dollars who will likely not even play he is so bad, and a wing player that you had to give away a first round pick to get another team to take

thats a guy on an expiring contract- as i said on the other thread do you realize how RARE that is? That, in order to get rid of an expiring contract- you had to basically take on an 11 million dollar player who is useless AND give up a first rounder? I seriously dont think i can ever remember a deal like that--- where, an expiring contract is supposed ot be a kind-of asset on its-own- but the team - in order to get rid of an expiring contract- had to give away a first rounder and take on an 11 million dollar player htat is useless.

I mean that is basically unheard of in the NBA. I honestly cant htink of another deal where a team getting rid of a guy on an expiring deal had to both give up a first round pick AND take a worthless player on an 11 million dollar deal. Its really mindblowing when you think about it.

But wait, a cheaper contract means the cheaper player is trash (McGee), isn't that correct Wiggy?

 

[raptorlife4]

In a perfect world, maybe 6. Thinking more like 7-8.

And you will be wrong again
