2016 NBA Off-Season Thread

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Yes but to go through the east is easier. Instead of battling, Spurs, GS and Clippers ever year. He would only have LBJ and the Cavs. Maybe Heat but nothing special. I agree OKC is the better team.

True.

Plus, Rose will be off the books next year and the cap goes up another 30 mil.

I just don't see him leaving OKC. But, I thought the same about Lebron.

I'd like him in our lineup and he's proven to be an NBA player. Draft picks are a crap shoot.

That's true.

If they know they aren't getting Whiteside, he's a good long-term plan B.

eh. Randle, Clarkson, even Russell...

they so far haven't turned out that bad...

Where's they red spoiler alert thingy?

he's right. they certainly CAN be a crap shoot, but I think the better ones pan out IF you put in your due diligence...

Agree.

Looks like they are, considering they have brought in Brown, Heild, Bender etc

Yes, but we can't roll out 4-5 players like that. We NEED a veteran in the starting lineup.

Heild was kinda interesting to me as a scorer, but my heart's set on Ingram...

and i'm not disagreeing with you. you NEED veteran leadership to teach the young guys how to play and win...

but we're talking about a guy that has possible superstar status some day. sorry, but I just don't see passing that kind of a thing up...

How much is Clarky gonna cost us? Probably going to be a pretty penny I'm sure.

hoping he ain't gonna ask for TOO much. we'll see, though...

I'm thinking 15 million per season with the way the new contracts will be going waaaaaaaaaaay up.

it's getting ridiculous, and truth to tell you really CAN'T blame the kid for trying to get as good a payday as he can...

just sayin. the guy's 38, but maybe spot duty off the bench wouldn't be bad...

and the dude can STILL knock down treys for you...

I'd like to see Dirk finish out his career in a Mavs uni. He'd look weird playing for a different team.
