2022 NBA Offseason thread

Donovan is close to a top 15 player to me still. I just dont think you are going anywhere if you make him your clear #1. He is probably best as a 1B/#2 option type of role

He is wing Westbrook for me.

Just don’t see a ton of substance there that actually adds to winning.

Rank him top 20, top 30, whatever.

Not a guy I want to give up a ton of assets for the right to overpay him.

Utah really should move him and try to bottom out.

Also…JJ Redick knows what’s up. During a summer league telecast last night called Philly the best sports town in America. Dude ain’t lying.

Thanks.

This gave me an idea.

Honestly, I’d rather have Sexton Allen and the picks. Mitchell is just gonna quell Garland and his development. One basketball and Garland’s pure bad ass speed is a trait most guys don’t have.

Right, if I would want them to upgrade it would be at the wing for a 2-way player

Yep a 14-15 ppg Okora would fix that. This year is big for him.

Lakers fans can be horribly homerish.

Think some of my sarcastic trades are bad? Those fucking fools.....SMH.

What? You don't think the Bucks would take THT for Giannis?

I agree with everything but I think Miami would be a great situation. They need another scorer next to Butler. They have the defense around Mitchell to cover his inefficiency. They have a good culture and winning environment and guys that will encourage him to play defense. Kind of like a Wiggins-Warriors situation.

 

[DJ Fieri]

1 day I'll just ignore the PF.

Maybe.

Yep if he doesn't improve his shooting and aggressiveness then I could see them moving off of him with an extension coming up.

I think some how some way they end up with KD.

Wanna swap defense first guys who haven’t developed that offensive game and yet and likely need a change of scenery?
Okoro for Thybulle?

Hope not. KD Buckets and Bam = win the East and 50/50 for the title.

 

[DJ Fieri]

I hope you don't take that personal attack like personal, @fightinfunbags

Pacers future looking strong.
Haliburton- 22
Mathurin- 20
Nembhard- 22
Brown- 19
Jackson- 20
Smith- 22
Nesmith- 22
Duarte- 25

As long as they don't try and skip steps, they'll be fine in 3-4 years and back in the playoffs to make some noise. Maybe suck enough this coming season to go #1 and grab Victor Wembanyama.

If they get Wembanyama they'd have a pretty sick core.

 

[The Q]

People should start targeting their lesser players for their bench, like Clarkson.

Shit, Lakers should see if they can slide into Conley/Clarkson for Westbrook if Kyrie doesn't work.

Lots of teams will look at Pat Bev.

Or sexton….lol

I’m not even sure adding for ayton screws up that process too much.

It’s gonna be hard for them to be worse than okc or hou anyway.

 

[The Q]

Yeah he’s like Danny Granger good.

Granger was wildly underrated, but also super brittle due to health issues known pre draft

If he didn’t have those medical red flags I think he easily goes top 10 in his draft
