2022 NBA Offseason thread

You are ridiculous.

They aren't giving you Dame...lmfao

NY has 8 tradeable 1st round picks.

Not sure he fits with Brunson.

But, I'm sure every team in the NBA can outbid you, unless Brow is in the deal.

Brunson fit with Luka.

Brunson and Lilliard would be interesting. Plus Randle and Co. Probably a 5 seed at best since the EC is so tough and Lilliard is on the decline but for the Knicks it'd be a serious get.

Lillard on the decline? Lol where

 

[ElPatron1]

I have almost a perfect like to post ratio...

He about to be 32 and maybe you missed it? 40% and 32% shooting isn't exactly GOOD.

Past his prime, which is age 24-31. Averaged 54 games played the last 3 seasons. Not about to get healthier as he gets older.

"According to PER, the overall peak was between the ages of twenty-four and thirty-one,. and both Win Shares and Defensive Win Shares stated that they peaked between the ages of twenty-five and twenty-nine."

He played a month and half or so below his standards. Prior to opting for surgery on his abdomen he avg 29/6/5 in the month of december. And as previously explained 2 of the last 3 seasons were shorter than normal. You called him injury for having one major injury in his 10 year career.

He missed 13 of a possible 146 games in the 2020 and 2021. One major injury doesn't make a player injury prone so quit with that ridiculous narrative

Players get hurt as they get older.

Father time is undefeated.

There is no prettying up 40% and 32%.

Put lipstick on a pig all you want......it's still a pig.

Traded for a 5th....could turn into a 4th.

in 2024

 

[shopson67]

from 3-10 the Lakers almost assuredly have the worst team in the league if you except a small handful of tanking franchises.

Luckily they have 2 fantastic talents at 1 and 2 that most teams can't match. They still count, right?

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

So,Jalen Duren.....

Goodness

 

[shopson67]

There's not a chance in hell LA has the assets to pull off a trade for Dame, who isn't going anywhere anyway. The only reason they might get Kyrie is no one else wants him including his current team.

Yeah, he's at Portland's summer league game tonight (they just talked to him). He's not forcing a trade.

absoutely- though one is 38 and in a contract year and for all intents and purposes- if he doesnt sign soon- Jeannie Buss is going to be feeling the heat


the other guy has the nickname "Street Clothes" for a reason.

Def. no pair in the league that has a higher possible variance in performance- honestly those 2 could be the most impactful duo in the league bar none- or it could fall apart pretty quickly.

while one "major injury" doesnt make one injury prone per se- one major injury can impact a impact a player and considerably alter his on play court for the balance of his career.

He had abdominal surgery. I think he will be just fine. This wasn't the acl, Achilles, or wrist

I agree. Especially because they have added help and I absolutely believe Lillard would have been back much sooner if the team was actually built to win-now. This is not a long lingering injury like an Oladipo situation.

Without a doubt. It was a 6-8 week injury so mid to late march return was the projected return. Not some 6-9 month serious injury

Luka is a big 6’7”

Lillard is 6’2”

It is super tough on a team defensively when 6’2” is not your smallest starting guard.

The issue with the fit is defense.

Just because he fit with Luka doesn’t mean it would be a good fit with Lillard.

Blazers are cursed with injuries, hopefully this isn't serious
