2017 NBA Offseason Thread

Interesting.

If George ends up going to Boston and signing an extension, I would think the Clippers could emerge as LeBron favorites. If they can sell everything This summer, they might get a high lotto pick too.

Only problem is that CP3 is expected to sign an extension with the Rockets. That was part of the report. He would likely be the one left out, and IMO the most important piece LBJ would need of the 4 banana boaters.

No Paul, no chance.

Lebron will never go to the Clippers, he doesnt want to go to the organization. I have heard this for awhile now.

Why would he leave Cleveland? There is no reason to leave now, zero reason lol

Until TJL's info gets leaked, that is...

There's plenty of reasons, the main one being Dan Gilbert.

Even before that he wants out lol, ever since the Griffin fiasco.

 

[shopson67]

Never said I had a problem with him opting in. Please quote me where I said that.

I have a problem with him opting into his contract then subsequently requesting a buyout.

I didn't read every post, but you did say he was never underpaid (untrue). Wasn't his buyout request debunked?

How was anyone questioning who'd run point? Hardcan is not a PG. He broke the turnover record as a SG then when he went to PG full time this year, he shattered that record.

It doesn't even matter now.

Paul will not let him dominate the ball.

But, CP3 probably welcomes the chance to play with another guy that can at this stage in his career.

He's never had that.

If Gilbert fails to significantly upgrade the roster after letting LBJ's GM walk, he will have plenty of reason. The current team isn't good enough. Now, while all the other contenders are making big plays to improve their teams, the Cavs don't even have a GM. I am sure LeBron is 100% content right now. LOL.

Nah, Lebron is the GM now lol. Gilbert can count his money and shine his ring

I really hope you don't believe this because your hopes are going to be brutally shattered in the offseason next year.

I was in the same boat once, it's called denial, and then he left me, and I weeped.

Just don't get your hopes up bud.

wrong team, CP3...

He will be if they get Billups and make potential. Even with this roster right now they are the best in the East easy and I have a feeling some buyout is about to happen that will change the rostee in a big way. Lets just all sit back and wait until free agency starts lol. But there is no way he would EVER go to the Clippers LOL

This is my problem with guys like Morey and Hinkie. They are good analytical guys but they dont look at team as puzzle pieces. Thats why Jerry West has been ridiculously successful, he knows some players no matter how talented dont always fit.

When all the stat nerd in Golden state wanted to trade Klay for all star pf Kevin Love he said no fucking way.

Sorry but he isnt going to a worse team, makes no sense. Especially with the pieces he has around him now. Seems like the only people hoping is everyone else.

Bro, I posted that only 4 posts up.

I know you don't read the thread, but it's the same fucking page lmao

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but Paul isn't extending a contract with the Rockets. He opted into his final year, and was then traded. He'll be a free agent next off-season.

The Rockets have his bird rights now and will be able to offer him a 5-year supermax next year.

 

[Bolts]

Not surprised if this is true, he just won his Euroleague title so moving onto the NBA makes sense.

I said he was underpaid in 2014 when he had to sign for $14 million. That was where he was grossly underpaid compared to his peers.

Other than that, I feel the contracts he got were of standard for what he wanted. He wasn't going to get the max with Lebron and Bosh being on the team.
