2017 NBA Offseason Thread

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I'd much prefer Crawford....

For your team, agree.

Don't want to bring in guys that will kill your cap next year and might be trying to showcase himself for his next deal, to the detriment of your youngins.

Oh my GAWD....

The Boston best off-season thread just went to hell in a hand basket.

How dafuq we go from Tom Cruise movie deaths, to racist ass white people on over to "darkies" doing manual labor over the course of half a page?

Gonna stay here where it's safe.

gosh-darn dem coloreds. you can dress 'em up, buts ya can't takes 'em nowheres...

 

[shopson67]

You might be right.

The West is gonna be brutal.

Maybe getting a Tony Allen type, on a 1 yr deal, might help a bit in the backcourt.

...or Afflalo, Waiters

My bad.

 

[shopson67]

haven't seen THAT anywhere, though i could definitely be wrong...

He was on the block for George, that's all that I'm aware of, other than your typical fishing before the draft.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

My bad.

No, I was laughing my ass off...lol

That shit doesn't offend me.

I was just marvelling at how fast it went off the rails after one innocuous Tom Cruise reference.

That takes skill...lol

 

[shopson67]

I honestly think Waiters is down to the Heat/Knicks. Not sure if he wants to do another 1 yr prove it type of deal which is what the Lakers would provide. I think he wants a longer term deal. Miami probably gives him 3 or 4 and same for the Knicks

Lakers could give him $17M though for that 1 year (or a 1-1 deal)...

I said Afflao too a few days back.

But, I might have been talking about the Warriors...

He would be a good pickup for you guys.

Much rather have him than Rondo. Rondo's defense is a distant memory, his jumper isn't reliable and he's an ornery cuss lol.

was just looking. yep, that thread went down faster than a 5 dollar hooker...

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

What is your meaning of breaking the bank though? Considering the money I've seen thrown out there, I'm completely fine with Miami providing 15 or 16 mil yearly. Now if you say close to 20 then yeah I'm not doing that either.

How much space do we have left?
Does he get more or less then Johnson?
What are other teams offering?
If they would both take 3/50M I think that's fair.

I just dont think he wants to do another 1 year deal which is why im thinking it's Miami or New York

********Off topic alert *******

It's funny how that term sets people off.

About 10 years ago, I went to Jamaica with a few friends.

While in the Airport, an older, white Southern Gentleman came up to me and said...

" You are a pretty colored girl".

I said thanks and sent him on his way.

My 3 friends were furious that I said thanks.

But, look at it this way...We were in Atlanta on a layover and Dude was like 80 years old.

He probably meant no harm, is set in his ways and didn't know that is a antiquated or offensive term.

Sometimes it's ignorance, not overt racism.

******end rant******

Ornery Cuss?

Well, I can honestly say I'm only one color, dark brown.

Not much fluctuation in my pigmentation.

But, I know white people who are red, orange, white or blotchy depending on the weather outside....lol
