2016 NBA Off-Season Thread

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Sources: Wade intensifying talks with N.Y., Bucks

anyone really think Dwade is gonna sign with the Bucks? lol....

seriously- if the Bucks offered him like 4 years 120 million- would he say no?

hypothetically....

Point Guard- Delly (really combo type guard- PERFECT guy to play with Giannis- kinda like LeBron in a way- maybe why they were so aggresive to get Delly- playing with a point forward type guy like Lebron should translate well to Giannis- Delly can play off that as the SG or the PG at times)
Shooting Guard- Dwayne Wade
SF- Khris Middleton
Point Forward- Giannis- (right?- they are having him play point unless I am mistaken
Center- Greg Monroe

still have Jabari Parker, Henson, MCW,

dude...i just love this team on paper... i know i did last year too- but a year of development and playing together and potentially (theoritically really) adding Wade...that would be interesting......maybe Middleton goes to the bench, or maybe Delly goes to the bench....who knows...

what do you guys think--- say they sign Wade-- obviously a long long long long shot. but just say--- what is their lineup?

would THIS be it?

SG- Khris Middleton
SG- Dwayne Wade
SF/Point Forward- Giannis
PF- Jabari Parker
C- Monroe

??

Bucks on paper look much better then the Bucks on the court, but I agree , I do like their roster.

Outside shooting was their biggest weakness, so Wade doesn't solve that problem.


In a perfect scenario for them, Wade would go there to mentor on a lower dollar contract where they don't have to give up any young assets to add him. That's not happening.

At the end of the day, the Heat and Wade will figure it out, but it just can't happen until after the Durant meeting.

Don't believe the 10M stuff ( nonsense IMO) unless you hear Wade or Riley say it directly.



And other then money, why aren't the Cavs keeping Delly?

Has anyone mentioned yet that Luol Deng is now a Laker? 4 years, 72m.

Just saw.
Congrats to him and Lakers fans.
He's a good player/guy.

Does this mean that Bosh really might be able to play?


P.S. Most Lakers fans are in no hurry to be up at 6 a.m pacific time.
Yesterday they woke up to Mozgov.

I hope Bosh can play again. That's some scary stuff he's been dealing w/ lately. And I was surprised to see what the Lakers gave Mozgov.

just heard. thanks though...

The really important question is will the Lakers have enough money left over to give Swappy P a long term contract?

oh but of course. that guy's KEY to another title around here. let's face facts here, championship DNA doesn't get any better than with this guy...

ok, now that I got THAT outta my system...

Agree on Bosh.
I personally think he's done, but that's strictly opinion.
We shall soon see.

For his own health he should probably retire. He's got nothing more to prove & I expect to see him in the HOF somewhere down the line.

It sucks to not go out on your own terms, but I imagine that potentially dropping dead on the court would suck worse.

In addition, he still gets paid every dollar of the contract.

 

[bksballer89]

Deng and Johnson gone

 

[DJ Fieri]

Bazemore got 18 million? Holy shit......he got close to the 20 million they were predicting!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Yikes!!!!!!!

Maybe the Heat could give him a job w/i the organization if he'd be interested?

 

[DJ Fieri]

TY, Kent for declining the 4 year contract Mitch offered you!!!! You aren't worth it and Laker fans didn't want your ass back!!!!

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Deng and Johnson gone

So, what are our PF options?

 

[DJ Fieri]

Deng? WTF, Mitch? Good God. You may need to go, Mitch. You've lost it.

 

[bksballer89]

Deng is bad? Did you miss all of last year especially the 2nd half of the season. He will be fine in LA especially in the first 2 years

Mcroberts lmao.

 

[DJ Fieri]

The Lakers made a qualifying offer to Tarik Black. Giess Zubac might be staying overseas or the 3rd string C.

Sacre is done in LA.
