2022 NBA Offseason thread

Lmao.

No.

They want nothing to do with Randle.

Someone needs to slap Ainge upside the head, or just get the whole league to ghost him lol. He's so far up his own arse...

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Actually I would be surprised if he isn't. It seems like they all got together and convinced him to give this year a chance. KD + Kyrie playing most games (for his next contract) + Simmons plus their depth is as good as any other contender. If it doesn't work then I see Kyrie leaving and KD getting traded.

We'll see. I just feel like you can't call out a GM and coach and then go back and play for that coach on the team assembled by that GM and not have that stink up the entire room and your own brain.

If they don't come out strong out the gate there's going to be issues pretty quickly.

Just as i said all along, he wasn't going anywhere

This is all Minnesota's fault. They paid that absurd price for Rudy Gobert and it blew up the market for everyone else. /halfsarcasm

as the HC and GM you need to stay above that, no matter how much it hurts.

Otherwise it will be a major issue.

the players are gonna pull this stuff as long as they can get away with it.

It's going to be interesting. That's for sure.

KD said he wanted Nash and Marks gone and there was another report that Kyrie "hates" them.

That's a lot to try to overcome.

Every team and personality is different. They've obviously been hashing it out. KD is a baller, he will play hard this year and if it doesn't work then he'll get traded. I suspect they told him exactly that.

He already looks like Casper the Ghost

Kyrie debunked that the day it happened.

That's not his normal M.O.

Kyrie Irving agent: 'Kyrie does not hate Steve Nash nor Sean Marks'

Nets star Kyrie Irving wants to make it clear he does not hate coach Steve Nash or general manager Sean Marks despite what a source told The Post about his feelings Monday. “I am not sure where thi…

* see Jordan and the Chicago Bulls.

He didn't hate Phil.

But, Phil, MJ and Pip sure despised Krause to a mocking him in person extent.

We know how that ended.

*see the Last Dance

The guy has 4 years left on his deal.

It was either go back and make it work.

Go back and make it untenable.

Go into retirement.

That's it.

Well, sure but the Nets aren't coming off 2 straight titles, they're coming off a disaster season where they got swept by the Celtics in the first round. Little different if you know you're trying to make history.

Maybe KD's professionalism takes hold, Kyrie is stable and games and the Nets show out on the court but if I were a betting man it wouldn't be on peace and harmony there.

 

[Mecca]

No idea. Small ball is looking likely

Rumor has it we have a gently used Morris twin on the block.

I'm not sure I buy it until we see Kawhi in action, despite having RoCo as insurance.

 

[Mecca]

Lmao

For who?

Anthony Davis?

The Knicks can't get it done with 5 picks.

But, sure...

 

[wildturkey]

I'm interested in Ana de Armas

 

[Shanemansj13]

At this point the Lakers are interested in MJ out of retirement

 

[Shanemansj13]

This is more realistic

Oh, no....

If they get off to a slow start, have a major injury?

They could implode by the deadline.

The only things they have working in their favor are:

1. Its a contract year for Kyrie. So, he might behave.

2. They improved their roster

3. The hope that Durant loves basketball more than he hates the Nets.

The biggest con?

They have a Porsche 911 roster and the equivalent of a 15 year old with his learners permit behind the wheel.

Just because you are great at Mario Cart doesn't make you qualified to drive Nascar.

Nash is a shit coach.
