2016 NBA Off-Season Thread

Yeah... I know. They'd have to give up future draft picks. Derrick Rose is not going to net you a championship by himself, even with Porzingis and Melo. Knicks are better off continuing with the rebuild.

If the Bulls needed the cap space to sign a top guy, or two mid tier players, they could deal him for nothing in a salary dump.

Or

Hypothetically, they wanted to trade for a Kevin Love type deal...and the Cavs wanted to sign a Howard/Horford type.

Love to Bulls, The Knicks absorb Rose, Cavs sign their guy.



Otherwise, the Knicks gots issues.

You think he's better than Curry, Westbrook, CP3, Lillard, Wall, Isaiah Thomas, Lowry, Irving, Reggie Jackson, and Kemba Walker?

Better than a couple of them, yes. Obviously not the first four you mentioned.

Like who? I'm not sure people realize just how bad Rose was this past season. He's a different player post injuries.

Yeah the Rose is a top 10 PG bullshit is so hilarious to me

Who of the rest of guys is he better than? The only one you could make a slight case for is maybe Reggie Jackson and that is a reach also. The guy is no longer a good basketball player

You could argue he's right in there with Lowry, Walker and Jackson.

With Lowry and Walker? No freaking way. Lowry was one of the best point guards in the NBA. He's not close to Lowry

Lowry, Walker and Reggie were better, statistically, and their teams were more successful, in large part, because of their efforts.

So will the Warriors now continue to pursue Durant?

wouldn't he have to take a pay cut if he did go to the Dubs...?

A big one.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

wouldn't he have to take a pay cut if he did go to the Dubs...?

Probably. Especially if they want to keep Klay and Curry for the future.

Really sucks for Denzel Valentine that this knee story broke. If it's something that isn't a big deal, and won't affect him in the future, it'll be unfortunate if he falls out of the first round.

 

[Heatles84]

A big one.

Warriors would have to do a sign and trade that would give up some assets.

Michael Scotto: Sources: Bucks are shopping Greg Monroe hard. He’s owed $17.1 million next season and has a $17.8 million player option for 2017-18 season.

Does anyone think Kris Dunn will make it to the Kings pick? I saw that Buddy Hield was mocked to the Kings.. I don't know much about him other than that he is a scorer.

No.

But, it looks like Chriss is going 3rd or 4th. So, either Brown, Bender or Dunn could fall.

Dunn likely doesn't get passed Nola.

I think he lands in Minny.

No way in Hell I would Love. Guy is Garbage. I rather trade Rose for rack of Balls.

I would Love to see Bulls trade up for Dunn but I dont see it happening.

Doubt it. Have to trade up to 4 to be sure.
