2016 NBA Off-Season Thread

Yeah. Warriors slid by given the players that they were able to add given Curry's low cap number. That man is sure to get a Conley contract, if not more.

They'll have to be very smart with 1st and 2nd round players in the draft. They do have Thompson and Green on really good contracts though.

Yeah.....but imo they need to be looking for guys like Barbosa to add to the team. Guys that need to revive their careers. Not going after guys like Crawford when they can't even afford to sign Durant without getting rid of players.

I think they've moved on from Durant. I think they re-sign Barnes and hope that his struggles in the Finals was not a consistent one.

I agree.
He's been great for the Cavs, and considering the Cavs wanted Shump, it just goes to show...

I was just wondering if there was an advantage in waiting since I haven't heard his name mentioned.

Well not one team has made an offer. I think he is just waiting for Lebron then they will sign him and make maybe a trade and/or sign a MLE guy.

Heard someone yesterday saying that KD doesn't like the FA process and doesn't want to go through it again. They also offered a theory on a big part of the reason he limited the number of teams he would speak to.

They said that he likely re-signs with OKC to give it another shot at getting a title and then will see what Westbrook does. If Westbrook leaves, then he will have a much faster process in the next FA as he will just decide between the teams he spoke to this time. They also said that if he does leave now, it will be to a team that he feels comfortable signing a 2 year/1 year opt out so that he can turn around and re-sign for the 5 year max with that same team next FA.

Well if they dont get KD they still need a wing. I think he would be asking a lot though and considering his age I would think the warriors should sign him to a 1 or 2 years deal with an option for the 2nd year if they did sign him.

I think that also.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Crawford could step in and play SF for the Warriors. He'd be a little small at the SF position but in their offense.....that's not a huge deal imo.

He's the perfect fit for that team.

Amid the usual mix of prospects, draft pick and longshot hopefuls, the Rockets will have one familiar, more accomplished player at the practices leading up to the Las Vegas Summer League.

Veteran forward Michael Beasley, who joined the Rockets late last season, is on the mini-camp roster announced on Friday and could be a rarity in Las Vegas, as a signed, veteran player.

I'm not going to claim I for sure know what KD is going to do but I'm all but certain he is not going to the Warriors, it's not happening.

Youre scared

 

[Shanemansj13]

The Wiz are making some little moves to improve depth. They are also pursuing Crawford

 

[WiggyRuss]

better chance he goes to the Clippers than Warriors.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

We have 9 guys under contract. We need about 5 more.

Probably looking at D-League players to fill the roster a bit. Luke will probably only use a 8-10 man rotation any way. Would like to see Jabari Brown try to make it again.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Thompson 16M a year...5 years
Shumpert 10M a year...4 yeras
Kyrie 17M a year....4 years
Love 21M a year....5 years

the Cavs knew what the fuck they were doing when they signed a bunch of their guys to long term deals last summer.

what crawford? jamal?

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Clippers would need to lose Paul, Griffin or Jordan for that to happen and their whole pitch to KD was to have a "Big 4" so I don't that any time soon.

I think we'll add 1 more FA.....a 2nd tier SG. And then add 4 guys from the Summer League team or a few from there and a few vet minimum guys.....

Did you include Black and Huertas as under contract because those guys should pretty much be coming back

Confirming Woj report that Jazz trade Trey Burke to Washington for future second rounder. Good young pickup for Wizards to back up Wall.

Not sure if I like Burke.

Honesty. I don't remember. I know we signed both of them but not sure if I included them. I was looking at a Hoops Hype website and not sure if they were included.
