2022 NBA Offseason thread

Yep.

Minimum this year, 15 mil plus next?

I was thinking something in terms of playing time freeing up so he can show enough to get a real deal somewhere. Could be both though.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Yes it is. I’m going to think long and hard about it. One that won’t be hard is Josh Giddey with a 12th rd pick as the 43rd rated player in the league. We can only protect 2.

That’s a great pick from last year. Where knowing your team pays off.

 

[Mecca]

Yeah if you load up on efficiency early you can survive a guy like that

Similar to fantasy baseball with avg

I can balance him out with a guy like Zubac.

If I can't get Jokic or Embiid, I stay away from the scoring centers.

Give me Jarrett Alen, Zubac.

KAT and Rudy require to high a pick.

That’s the way to go. I won this league one year by taking Noah with my last pick. It was that year he just came out of nowhere and was a fantasy stud. Didn’t score but he literally did everything else in large amounts. Then I ended up with him again the next season and he sucked.

 

[tlance]

Poor Dennis

Literally.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Don’t you have to think Schroeder was told something in order to take that deal?

Under the table stuff?

 

[tlance]

Now all the Lakers need is one of the Ball brothers to sign so the old man can show-up at the Crypto-center everyday and spew forth his insanity with that mouth of his.

That is a realistic possibility!

I hear Liangelo is available!

 

[tlance]

Haven’t looked much yet but Kyrie is projected as the 13th best player in the league by our scoring system.

He would be even higher than that if you could guarantee he would play 75 games.

His game is so fantasy friendly. Points, assists, 3s, steals and very good percentages for a guard.

If you could just clone Kyrie but take out the crazy...he's a top 10 player.

I asked @The Q this the other day....

Why is Halliburton so high?

He's like 18.

Why?

And is Alperan Sengum supposed to take a big leap in Houston?

 

[The Q]

At this point Mecca, literally anything can happen with the Lakers going forward with all of the principles that are going to be on that roster starting in training camp. I pity Darvin Ham. He is sure to lose his mind in about 10 games.

I don’t really get why they’re so worried about a decade out.

Freaking brow will likely be retired by the time the second pick is used

Like, this seems so weird

Dude, I know im going to.regret it.

But, I took Dame and Book over Kyrie and Davis.

Kyrie was actually the harder guy to pass on.

 

[Retroram52]

We shall see Mecca if regret is part of the repertoire once the season starts with your league.

I think it's also the cap space.

Which is weirder unless someone gives them a discount.

They won't have enough for Andrew Wiggins, let alone Kyrie.

Look at Halliburton’s numbers after joining the Pacers, especially the last 10 games. He increased his scoring up to like 18 a game while also getting almost double digit assists. On top of that he got a lot of blocks and steals and shot over 50 percent for the first time in his career. He just projects really well with Brogdon out of there.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Yes he is

I agree dude was a steal

So, he's not a reach at #17?

I'm trying to think outside of the box.

Porter Jr has been around in the 70's.

If he's healthy, steal.

If he isn't, fuck my life.

I don't think I should risk it...lol

I'd rather take Klay or Lauri in the 9th round.

 

[Retroram52]

Go with the sure bet Mecca in the 9th.

 

[Mecca]

I agree dude was a steal

The kid in Houston or Tyrese?
