2016 NBA Off-Season Thread

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

With DH leaving....they need a C.

You would think Biyombo would be perfect.

All they wanted Howard to do was play defense, block shots, shag Hardens rebounds.

Great!!!

That's all he's good for.

 

[DJ Fieri]

I'm hoping Biyombo is who the Hawks sign. I like him and I don't think he's going to break the bank. Then again, I didn't think Bazemore would be asking for as much as he reportedly is.

How much do y'all have? He's getting 15-18 million per.

Yeah. Instead......Bazemore?

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I felt bad for the guy. The Lakers perimeter defense was so bad that guys were driving to the rim at will. He looked like he was fighting off a swarm of bees at times. He just couldn't keep up. I knew he was slow...but damn.

I'd take him as my backup.

Wait...He can hit free throws, right?

Anthony Brown is under contract for 2 more seasons.

Young does not have an opt out, but may be waived with his contract stretched. However it happens, he needs to be jettisoned.

no if's, and's, or maybe's...

my guess is that SOME team out there will pick up an air-headed, 6'7 SF who can hit 3's(though not as consistently as once thought.)...

My bad. Next season, he has an opt out.

Again, looking at next season.

I feel like Jeremy Lin will be one of those guys who plays for about 12 NBA teams by the end of his career.

I like him too.

He's only 23.

The year before Doc came to the Clippers, Jordan was GAWD AWFUL......across the board.

He still has zero range, and can't make freebies. But, has improved with good coaching 10 fold.

nope...

and these days his confidence has hit a big-time slide imo...

honestly i'm not sure where he's gonna land, but as you said his playing days as a STARTER are a question mark...

Blazers and Grizzlies offer max deal to Chandler Parsons.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Howard is a turd.

But, the Blazers would win Free Agency.

A person with knowledge of the Blazers' plans says their intention is to go after both Chandler Parsons and Dwight Howard.

Just remember we're talking a 6'9 "big" with no offensive game. He's largely untested as a full time starter even after 5 years in the league. Expecting his game to improve now might be asking too much.

That'd be a smart signing imo.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Need to get a little work done.....be back a little later.

True.

He's gonna need a strong pg if you want to get anything out of him more than 4ppg on putbacks.

But, the Rockets would prob prefer that he didn't even try.

More shots for Harden.

 

[Bulletz]

Blazers and Grizzlies offer max deal to Chandler Parsons.

He improves both of those teams, this should be interesting.

 

[CitySushi]

Entirely possible. He's a tweener between starting caliber and really good back up PG. He'll thrive as a backup and teams will either trade for him to be a starter or sign him to be one. They'll realize they need someone better to start and he'll get traded or signed to another team as a backup where he'll thrive. Rinse, repeat.

 

[CitySushi]

The fact that Hakeem and Clyde have to go out and recruit Kent Bazemore tells you everything you need to know about this off-season.

 

[shopson67]

Likely goes to Memphis to pair up with Conley (they've discussed doing so).
