2016 NBA Off-Season Thread

[DJ Fieri]

The Wolves made "an aggressive offer" to Paul Gasol to re-unite him with Thibs.

 

[Black Adam]

whats that? I couldnt quite hear you....my hearing is still a little off from celebrating that title...

Ah ok, then close your ears for this one too...

You being the first one to react like this CLEARLY proves my point...

 

[DJ Fieri]

We're such a versatile bunch.....we can talk sports, movies, current events, etc.

 

[Heatles84]

If Pau was smart he would just go to the Cavs. He wont start but get high quality minutes regardless

He'd have to take the minimum. I'm sure he still wants to make solid money while also being on a contender. I think he goes with the Spurs.

I can't see whatever drama is going on......life is good.

This.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

As we used to say in the 'hood, you a LIE and yo' breath stinks"...

You'd be the first one in here with a coronary...

Then...it was followed up with a 'yo mamma' insult...

If KD doesnt come to miami then riley had another terrible FA period. We lost half the team and possibly Wade so he could play the waiting game. Plus we had no draft this year which hurts even more.

We weren't doing shit with Deng and Joe Johnson anyway. Did you happen to watch the series against Toronto? If you didn't, I'll provide a tl;dr summary:

They didn't do shit and looked old.

We're not going to be able to do shit next season anyway. If Bosh retires, that's $25 mil in cap space that will just sit there. Let's calm down with the gloom and doom.

Also, I'm okay with how Riley handled the offseason. I'm certainly glad that we didn't offer average players long-term contracts averaging $16 mil per year.

 

[DJ Fieri]

@MDX is probably busy with the 4th of July weekend festivities but I really wanna his feedback on the Burke acquisition.

 

[WiggyRuss]

You should photo shop Delly and Mozgov out of the photo.

Guess they should have signed with Klutch?

losing 2 guys that didnt play in the Finals and got a ton of money is not going to hurt the Cavs as much as giving them that money and not being able to enter free agency next year.


look at those Heat though- losing Johnson, and Johnson and Deng...think you guys make the East playoffs this year?


oh - i forgot--- Riley is a genius and its gonna be just fine.

Agree. As long as he signs Wade and pick up some vets for cheap, I'm fine with it.

 

[Heatles84]

Was gonna pass on the new Independence day flick, but i think me and Ms. CL are gonna catch it tomorrow...

I might go see it tonight, since I have nothing better to do.

You didn't play "dirty dozens" back in THOSE days...

If Durant makes his decision by tonight, NBA media who never get a July 4 breather will rejoice - myself among them. Just sayin' @KDTrey5.

Oh damn

This. I seriously think the Nets will regret that Tyler Johnson contract in a season or 2......especially since they just added Lin.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Ate lunch so old man DJ is taking a nap. Be back in about 90 minutes or so.

I hope I don't miss anything big!!!!

Not sure if they will regret it. Tyler is a good player who continues to get better

Yup. Heat will have a roster that's comprised of some youth players like Weber, Richardson, and Winslow as well as some veteran players. We'll likely miss out on Durant and re-sign Wade, which I'm fine with.

I'm all for attempting to find another gem hopefully that can play the 4 quite honestly. Either way, whether my team's a contender for the title or rebuilding, I'm still a fan. I'm not going to jump ship like some others do around here.
