2016 NBA Off-Season Thread

What a waste....

 

[DJ Fieri]

Pacers are turning into a dangerous team.

Bird had a plan this offseason.

 

[Heatles84]

I said the same thing...lol

I have zero issue with Mozgov's money in this climate.

Like Noah, I hate the years.

I get the roster full of young guys is a bad idea without vets dialog...

But, it wasn't a issue when they thought they could get Whiteside who is a 26.

Exactly. Had they got Whiteside for what the Heat are paying him, the narrative that Mozgov carries would've went out the door. Mozgov is a bad contract.

 

[Heatles84]

Jordan is excellent in the pick and roll. Biyombo not so much.

The Mozgov signing doesn't thrill me, but he does fit a position of need for the Lakers.

Biyombo is 23 and he looked decent against the Heat and Cavs in the Finals. He has a chance to grow, with Mozgov, you already know what you're getting.

 

[Heatles84]

Well played, Dubs.

True, but knowing what you are getting isn't necessarily a bad thing. And they are getting a good center in Mozgov assuming the knee is good.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Maybe they weren't that interested in Whiteside. Leaks can only be trusted to a certain degree. Nobody had a clue that the Lakers were interested in Mozgov. If the 4th year is a team option, the contract looks a little better.

Dude, they were interested.

These are not shitbird reporters that are putting this stuff out.



They went after Mosgov because Noah was gone.

Allegedly.....

Ken Berger: With Noah-Knicks and Mozgov-Lakers in talks at $16-$17m/yr, remember: Cap up 35 percent, so are salaries. Math.

Yeah, I really have no issue with him.

He will give you output similar to Robin Lopez and Zaza.....STATISTICALLY.

Gotta add that caveat because when I said this earlier, folks acted like I compared him to Olajuwon....lol

O.J. Mayo can now be had for a ham sandwich......

 

[DJ Fieri]

Mayo is only 28.....damn. He had many years ahead of him. Hope he invested his $ wisely.

Zaza's defense is nonexistent.

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

D-Wade leaving?

I thought it was like 95-5 staying....but it seems like more 60-40 at this point.

They have basically made him a secondary afterthought the last 3 seasons of free agency.

They are just assuming they can always count on his loyalty.

Very dangerous with other teams having cap space finally.

 

[Bolts]

Pacers looking good right now, could even be the team that gets the honor of losing to Cleveland in the ECF next year.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Zaza's defense is nonexistent.

Maybe I didn't make the word big enough.......STATISTICALLY

 

[purguy12]

now that is a great contract for the Indy. perfect contract.

 

[shopson67]

Deandre Jordan has zero offensive game to. Yet he's on a max contract. You think the Mozgov signing is a good one, I don't.

Not fond of the money or length of the deal, but the player is a good fit for what they were looking for.

Are you seriously comparing Biyombo to Jordan? Jordan is 6'11 and has started for the past 6 years.

 

[purguy12]

bye bye OJ. maybe see u in 2 years.

 

[shopson67]

Or even Mahinmi.

Gotta think he's gone now that Indy has Jefferson.

I prefer Mahinmi to Biyombo. Less hype, better size.

 

[CitySushi]

Mayo is only 28.....damn. He had many years ahead of him. Hope he invested his $ wisely.

Unfortunately if he's doing hard drugs, he probably hasn't invested wisely.

The NBA isn't kicking a guy out of the NBA for weed. It has to be some legit narcotic in order for him to receive an expulsion. I know I made a joke earlier, but always unfortunate situation when it comes to drugs.
