2016 NBA Off-Season Thread

What Horford decides could very well be the difference maker, and Miami radio says he wants to come here.

Seems like Riley will be pitching Horford at their meeting vs Whiteside.

Gonna be a fun next few days!!

it would be hilarious to see whiteside go and for the Heat to sign Horford after you talked bout how much better Whiteside was than Horford ALL YEAR....

ohh the hypocrisy is hilarious.

as always---- Time Vindicates.

Anyone know how much Horford is asking or can get? The Thunder would have about 7 mil or so to play with if they sign KD. I think $18 mil for Horford so they would have to get rid of about 11 mil, I think that is right

If Noah is getting $18M -- how much do you think Horford will get ? (>> $20M)

 

[Shanemansj13]

Horford is gonna get AT LEAST 24 million a year bro. prob more...watch

That would be a lot of salaries to shed. They would probably have to trade Kanter.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Geez, that's crazy. He is a solid player but maybe almost as much as Lebron. Last year this would have been the 2nd highest contract, of course things are changing in big ways.

unless he takes a discount to go to OKC I think Horford will sign a 3 year deal worth about 80 million.

 

[WiggyRuss]

between 24 and 29....

I just saw that if Horford would have stayed for his final year he would have gotten 18 mil in ATL so yeah he will get 20+ mil easy lol

i have read they already have places they could send Kanter to if they wanted too....Portland would prob take him into their cap space i na second.

 

[Bulletz]

between 24 and 29....

I think 25 is the ceiling

Obviously, Horford is the better player in terms of Kanter or Horford and much better on defense but you think that is worth it? Kanter just signed a long contract and he is making about $17--a pretty good deal but Horford will get at least 24 or 25...

I would have NO ISSUE keeping Whiteside over Horford apples to apples, but if it means getting or potentially getting Durant, then its a no brainer.

No hypocrisy, and it's shouldn't be that hard to comprehend.

If I'm Whiteside, I'm not waiting either. From near broke to 100M+?
Here's the conversation on facetime:


Hey Hassan, this is Mark Cuban, I'd like you to be the focal point and face of our franchise moving forward.
How's 100M sound, right now?

Whiteside:


This is BUSINESS 101 for both sides.

if it means durant stays its def. worth it....i think thats a question for KD and his staff...you take it to him and say---hey- we can prob get al horford...we have it worked out- we can send kanter out- and bring this guy in....you in?

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

between 24 and 29....

Sounds to me (if true), he wants to 1+1 like James.

Makes total sense, depending on true desire of him and Durant wanting to play together, regardless if its OKC or Miami, right?

the fact that you think you actually think their is a chance Durant will be in Miami next year is mind boggling to me.

#wiggynightmare

dude...you must be delusinal

the chances that Durant plays with Horford are being talked about seriously in OKC.

horford, oladipo, rw, adams, etc. is a supporting cast that absolutely embarrasses anything the HEat could offer Durant.


like isaid- when durant doesnt sign- who will it be you brag about the heat getting a meeting with next year that doesnt sign?

 

[RazorsEdge]

I'm sure Knicks fans can't wait to watch Rose and Noah missed 50 games a piece next year

This move doesn't make a whole lot in the sense department.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

I think he stays in OK City 1 more year.
I've always said that.

I'm just repeating what is being said about Horford/Whiteside.

APPARENTLY Horford is open to coming here whether Durant does or not, and then HOPEFULLY Thunder lose again and Durant comes NEXT summer, which is a very logical scenario.

 

[Bolts]

Can't wait for free agency to begin to see who the Kings overpay for.

ohh okay...we are already focusing on next year...cool deal.

seeya in 2017 iguess right?

 

[avalon2423]

I would love to be wrong, but i cant for the life of me see any scenario where Durant comes to miami. Only to play second fiddle to lebron again and having to follow his footsteps to get a ring. Every shot he takes will be him yet again trying to catch Lebron on the leaderboard but now for team as well. I just dont see it.

It feels like a 3 team race right now, if he doesn't stay home, he's gonna go to GS or SA. Next summer will be REALLY interesting though.
