2019 Offseason Thread

[DJ]

Harden, Westbrook and now Anthony Bennett?

Cancel the season.

Probably gonna be an end of the bench guy, I doubt he gets a chance to really revive his career.....I thought he had retiired.....

 

[DJ]

The Bradley signing was really good IMO.....he is going to give is a solid defender off the bench. He has lost weight he gained with the Clippers and could step in and start in case Green gets hurt and we wouldn't lose much.

He was balling with Memphis to finish the season.....

 

[DJ]

Can we start the fucking season????

 

[tlance]

Get him @TurnUpTheHeat . You don't like hypotheticals.

Love signed here and that's the only fact we have.

But resigning is a lot different then signing from another team as an unrestricted free agent. And you know this.

 

[DJ]

Still some role players available.

 

[DJ]

-Lin

-Faried (heard he may have signed with Houston, but couldn't confirm that)

-Trey Burke

-Lance Thomas

-Simmons, I think is a FA

-Crawford

-Shumpert

-Gortat

-Jerebko

-Pau Gasol

-Melo, probably done....

if thats the case LeBron is the first big time free agent the Lakers signed in almost 30 years.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Whiteside will have an ample early opportunity, with Portland starting center Jusuf Nurkic expected to miss at least the first three months of the season while rehabilitating from left leg fractures.

@WiggyRuss
Thoughts?

makes more sense why they traded for him considering their real center is hurt.

If Nurkic wasnt hurt the big lump of shit may very well still be on the Heat.

lol, obviously SOMEONE is still burned over being WRONG about Whiteside...

Lump of shit lol
Portland has ALOT invested trying to win.
Brilliant pick up for them.

Not really. They would just bring him off the bench as they did with Kanter

yah anytime you can commit 27M dollars to a backup center you HAVE to do it.

I mean, just look at the Heat- they gave him a max contract to play 24 minutes a game.

good point.

 

[dtgold88]

Wasn't Chris Grant the GM at the time?

Sure was, and he wanted no part of Bennett. Griff talked him into it. If you don't agree, you can call Griff a liar....

David Griffin on Anthony Bennett: You f--- up sometimes

 

[dtgold88]

@tlance
Actually his comment isnt hypothetical.
Its fact.
Many thought he would leave, correct?

The rest of his post, is opinion.

What many "think" is a hypothetical. Thinking doesn't turn it into reality. Reality was he signed his FA deal to stay here.

Ya gotta love this forum.

Holy shit do you ever stop talking about the heat? Get a fucking life

Who knew Bam would be this good?!!

As far as Portland, the 27M investment in a league leading stats player gives them a much better chance then the 2 players they traded for him.

Win/Win for both teams.

 

[bksballer89]

Blazers traded one expiring contract for another.

Could have gotten kanter for a much cheaper rate but they chose whiteside. There is a reason behind that.
