2022 NBA Offseason thread

I think I agree, but I’m sure they willl adjust on the fly. I think this team could have a winning record, not sure they will though. With this man child coming next year in the draft it’s going to be tempting, San Antonio has already made their intentions known.

Houston as well

Houston as well

And the Thunder have their pick again if it’s not top 4.

I was wrong, that is in 2024

He's been very impressive as well.

Might make Harry B expendable .

He's definitely NBA ready. I think the people in Sacramento will be surprised at how good he is defensively too

Ive been really impressed with most of the top 5 so far. Which is rare . Smith is the only one who's been kind of blah

 

[fightinfunbags]

Yeah I thought that was weird. No picks and Utah gets all the picks bc of DM. Doesn't make sense.

This dude was one of the authors of the Nets Celtics trade. Is it surprising that he doesn’t have a grasp of value?

It’s obvious Smith will be an elite defender.

Calvin Booth has been bold as the new top voice in Denver. Last I read though Murray and MPJ are untradeable to a Brooklyn organization as long as Ben Simmons is on the roster, which would make KD out of the question.

What's the word on Ayton?

I don't think he's a max player.

But, sometimes you have to overpay to get the guy you want.

For the money, I'd rather have Turner if I'm the Pacers.

But, if you can't keep him at a reasonable price, or you are concerned about his ability to stay healthy, Ayton makes sense.

Roster wise Ayton makes more sense than Turner long-term. That said if you’re the Pacers and short on talent, you need high draft picks. In that sense, Ayton may hinder that and it may be better to let the mediocre logjam of bigs go to battle as constructed.

It all depends of which approach you’d like to take. It may be a matter of compensation. Turner, Theis, a future second, and maybe one other throw-in from the Boston deal (Malik Fitts?) would be my offer.

Jalen Smith has apparently already been penciled in as the starting PF. Could make for an awkward combination after all the practice battles he and Ayton almost certainly had in Phoenix…

I can’t wait for the overpay

 

[msgkings322]

I can’t wait for the overpay

And the tiny back court and the 8 seed.

And the tiny back court and the 8 seed.

If they dont give up rj or randle, they will be much better than that

Can't wait to see who gets dealt.

And the tiny back court and the 8 seed.

Tiny and weird.


Also, who plays the 3, Barrett?

If so, wtf do they do with Fournier?

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

If they dont give up rj or randle, they will be much better than that

Reddish, Rose or Quickley gotta be included in the.deal, right?

Whatever player the Knicks deal, I bet they get rerouted to another team.

Fire sale.

Jazz making all veterans available for trade, including Patrick Beverley, Malik Beasley and Jordan Clarkson

Sources say, the Jazz have made all of their veteran players available in trade talks, and there are no untouchable players currently on the roster. Guards Patrick Beverley, Malik Beasley and Jorda…
