2017 NBA Offseason Thread

George to Cleveland might just be a best case scenario for LA.

Curious as to what Denver would be giving up and what Indiana would be getting. Report I read said that Love would land in Denver.

Not sure I get why Denver wants Love, but whatever.

If they don't win a Chip, both will bounce.

Unless there's another move on the Horizon....

Melo and Wade get bought out and basically play for free?

Naaaa, they still can't be the Warriors. But, it would be fun to watch.

Glory hawg.

I'm still waiting on the e-mailed story to break, so there's that

To have 2 max deals they have to move the Clarkson or Deng contract

Are you sure? My understanding was that the cap jump combined with Mozgov off the books (Lopez in this case) would give them enough cap space.

If not, that's fine, especially the Deng contract.

Mosgov/Lopez gets you one max.

Deng and Clarkson gets you the other.

Had they kept Russell, they would have needed to renounce Randle to pay George.

Examining the Lakers' future from different angles

They'll unload Deng....

And they will probably need to trade Randle to get rid of Deng. It's ok. They won't Be able to keep him long term anyway.

Wade is almost definitely getting bought out. Cleveland and Miami would be the two most likely landing spots. No way he would go to GS, but SA might be a dark horse candidate.

Wade would be a fantastic fit on the Spurs imo.

I also think Wade could go back to Miami....no lock he joins James in Cleveland.

Manu is coming back.

But, they might lose Simmons.

So, yeah.....rather Wade than Rose.

I still think the Spurs make the obvious move.

George Hill.

On a 1 year deal to try for one last ring?

Cavs.

He's likely getting his money from the Bulls.

So, salary won't be a top factor.

He can go back when Lebron bolts.

They will need to attach an asset. So, yep.

But, I would not do it until next Summer.

If Lebron or George aren't coming, no need to sacrifice Randle.

They can match any deal he gets next Summer if they need to.

If Lakers can get PG for Ingram now, and believe LeBron is coming next year, then just do it.
Ball, PG, James is a pretty good foundation.

He doesn't want to join LeBron in Cleveland, he doesn't really care about being part of the super friends.

We don't need him.
Maybe under some understood circumstances.

 

[bksballer89]

Gotta love KD lol. Just one of the guys. I respect him lmao

Don't think the Heat's brass is keen on bringing Wade back. We finally saw development with our younger players once he went to Chicago.

Disagree on Ingram. I don't mind them giving up just about anyone else though.

From what I heard (thru media and such, not my source lmao), is that his relationship with Riley isn't good and that hasn't been mended.

That bridge was burned when we low balled him and he went to Chicago.


But who knows
