2017 NBA Offseason Thread

I hear the Celtics are looking to set up a meeting with Gallinari. I guess they don't feel confident about getting Hayward.

Jerry west has done work this offseason so far. Beverley, Gallo, Griffen, deandre is solid

 

[wildturkey]

I know I'd totally be sold on the idea of Griffin and Gallo playing total of 50 games combined

 

[Bolts]

Clippers finally get that strong offensive SF to put in the lineup with CP3, JJ, Blake, and Deandre....except half of them are gone.

One of those hot take doomsday voices at it again. Dynasties have always helped the NBA build its bottom line. Look at the interest that the league's getting in the beginning of July a month after the Finals. Teams are doing crazy shit trying to catch the Warriors. Fans will start cheering against the Dubs relentlessly so they'll go down. They'll eventually transform into a team that people either love or hate and which watch more closely.

Now the balance of all stars in the West and East is the more concerning part, especially as it relates to TV contracts considering some networks may only carry certain conference games.

Yeah I remember the 90s Bulls and it was pretty similar, they dominated the league but everyone watched to either enjoy the domination or see if anyone could take them down, or both (me)

It's called star power. The NBA has always been a stars' league, and right now the biggest concentration of stars are in Oakland.

2019-20 when is Green and Thompson get paid, right?

Klay is a FA after the 2019 Finals, Dray after 2020.

This is one reason I think the Ws superteam gets 2 more rings, and then maybe are done. Klay will want and deserve a max deal, no way the Ws can afford that, Draymond same thing.

Now, KD, Curry, and Dray plus whomever they get to replace Klay or whatever McCaw has become might be enough to get another, but it will no longer be a lock.

Go get him warriors

He totally should. Go get a ring. He's earned it. Either him or Vince Carter

No thanks. Even the bench guys gotta play D on the Warriors.

 

[Shaggy]

That's not true. I do see it in every form but I don't see it all the time. There are times I see it and times I don't. Some post would have the useful rating and others would not.

You have to mouse over them to see them.

@everyone else.

Remember the discussion when the resident genius told us Warriors would lose Iggy, Livingston, and others because no way Durant would sign the 1 year lower deal and risk injury.

#timevindicatesagain

Yep, I had front row seats to that shit storm. Another reason for the boards biggest pussy not to show his face for a while.

AlpacaWhine. I'm pretty sure he's a Wiggy alt.

Funny how he hasn't posted since you wrote this

AlpacaWhine. I'm pretty sure he's a Wiggy alt.

Definitely not Wiggy. He appears to be a troll, but he isn't Wiggy.

He made a semi-negative comment about Kyrie saying he was the most Ball dominant player in the league. Which is an exaggeration, but one of the few things he has said that I agree with. It is also why I have never liked Kyrie's game, or Westbrook's game.

Every team needs guys who can create their own offense, but I also think it is a skill that is highly overrated when taken out of context from the rest of a player's contributions.

 

[tlance]

They need guys that can play defense. That's not Ellis.

Ellis is like a washed up, worse version of Kyrie. Not what they need at all.

GS could use him in the Barbosa/Clark role when they need bench scoring more than bench defense.
