2016 NBA Off-Season Thread

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Jared Dudley is alright. It might be a little pricey, but its not out of whack.

He plays above average defense and can hit the open 3 pointers.

He was probably worth 8-10 million. That is the going rate for a "3 and D" forward semi-starter.

Only his age (31) makes it somewhat questionable for a team trying to rebuild in Phoenix.

They are familiar with him having played there before the Clippers.

Teach the younglings....

No question......there will be a lockout in the future.

 

[DJ Fieri]

I'm getting tired......the pizza and these callouses on my fingers from posting today.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Exaggerated on the Dudley deal. Slightly overpaid.....but not the worst.

Has to be Turner.

 

[bksballer89]

He was bad for the Clippers.

But, played well as soon as he left.

Dudley> Delly

They got the same contract.

He's been solid most of his career. Maybe the Clippers were just a bad fit for him. It happens

 

[DJ Fieri]

Later all.

Bulls can't really be trying to sign wade and rondo? Can they?

So, it's possible that the Hawks could re-sign Horford and just put Millsap at the three spot. But, God, I don't know how that would work, defensively speaking. I don't know if Millsap has ever played SF.

I find it hard to believe .iami would insult Wade with a 10mil offer. Something doesnt seem right about that.

That's a big fuck you to Wade.

Bazemore is back. 4 yr/70 mil

Bazemore is back. 4 yr/70 mil

According to DA, he turned down 4 yr/72 from the Rockets and Lakers

Same guy , 24 hours ago, reported Heat lost ground with Whiteside, and Dallas was solid front runner.

Wait, what? That must mean Horford is gone. I don't think they have the room to sign Bazemore, Horford, AND Howard

that would be kinda bad ass....

PG- Rondo
SG- Wade
SF- Butler
PF- Mirotic/Gibson
C- Lopez

that team could contend for the 2nd seed in the East without a doubt. Would have a solid bench too in Dunleavy, Mirotic, Calderon, Portis, etc.....

Thought that was obvious once they signed Dwight?

Yeah, but I figured they'd choose Horford over Bazemore for sure. Surely they are trying to dump salary elsewhere to try to fit all 3. Choosing Bazemore over Horford is just dumb

Well it still seems like they're trying to bring him back. I'll post the tweets

as long as they still have Horford's Bird Rights and did not renounce them and his cap hold they should be able to do it...but i guess they prob have to renounce him to have the cap to sign howard.

Milsap/Howard is a pretty intriguing front court...Schroeder is gonna get a chance to drive, they retained Bazemore...ok Hawks....

They have made some moves too


thus far in the East the biggest winners are the Pacers, Hawks, Knicks in my book.

In the West thus far i gotta say the biggest winner is Memphis. Parsons is PERFECT- and they retained the best backcourt player in free agency in Conley. I hope Memphis shits on the fucking Warriors now that they have a little more offense!!!!! not holding my breath but shit- Memphis is gonna be good.
