2017 NBA Offseason Thread

[TurnUpTheHeat]

lol

Just reported on ESPN that the Cavs first offer to Chauncey was $1.5 mil. Then, when Chauncey said no, they upped it to $2 mil.

So, they insult him with the 1st offer and flip him off with the second.

Apparently, that's SOP for Gilbert though, because they also said that Griffin was being paid just under $2 mil.

"Dan G.'s prices are DEFINITELY not commiserate with his payroll......as i have said ad nauseum- Dan Gilbert's goal with the Cavs is not to make money- Dan G's goal with the Cavs is to enjoy his hobby."

Not to be forgotten, one of hundreds of Wiggyism's on Gilbert.

I guess Gilberts hobby doesn't need a GM?

If James leaves next year there will be one GIANT fire sale (besides James jerseys).

Young was called a bum by a lot of people. Watch the W's fans ride his dick now....

Has any team every gone from under 30 wins to over 60 wins in one season?

Maybe the Spurs that year they tanked * coughed* Robinson got hurt and they drafted Duncan?

I'm to lazy to actually go look.

But, that's all that comes to mind.

And Griffin got some experience and will be compensated at his next job....

Griffin would be perfect on the Knicks.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Yeah.....the Heat kept Waiters at a good contract. Holy shit this list.

Barnes and Adams deals still hold up.

The rest of that list should be used as toilet paper.

If memory serves, he was also disparaging the Lakers ownership and talking about how the Buss family has no money at that point, because they weren't going to go over the salary cap for a team they knew wasn't going to be winning anything.

He also said that because it's his "hobby" Gilbert didn't care if he lost money and that the Lakers were the Buss family's only source of income.

The Lakers are paying their inexperienced GM $5 mil. But Gilbert is the one willing to "spend whatever it takes."

Nobody is doing anything of the sort. Nick Young will play the Ian Clark role. He will be a bench scorer who will play 10-15 minutes a night. If Clark were available for as cheap as they got Young, they would have signed him.

Nick Young is who is he is. But he fits the roster well and will be a solid role player for the Warriors. I don't think anyone has said more than that.

Over the course of the last few years? BS. People have definitely called him a bum.

The Cavs were pretty close the year they got LeBron back. But, I think they won more than 30 the year prior, and might not have won 60 the year after. I too am too lazy to look it up.

 

[True Lakers Fan]

...and Lakers fans rejoiced. I was ecstatic when he opted out this year. Apparently the Warriors were in the market for a 2nd/3rd team shooter.

You never lied on this one - I rejoiced and my niece and nephew rejoiced. That sucker was worthless

Of course they were. I was one who called him that.

That has nothing to do with my post.

First off, Young showed some maturation last year. Second, his aloof personality plays a lot better on a veteran team with a quality locker room than it does on a team with young players. 3rd, if Young doesn't share the ball and starts jacking too much, he won't play. They have 8 guards/wings all capable of providing minutes. They don't need Young to do anything.

Say what? A player like Chauncey as your gm, should have been starting at 5 o 6 million in my opinion. No wonder he called them up and withdrew his name from consideration

Who cares - As a Lakers fan he is gone - The only part that bothers me is that he will freeload and get a championship title out of it. He is undeserving in my opinion of that honor

You quoted MY post, defending him.....playing Capt save-a-ho.

Right.

I was responding to the dick riding part. Nobody is doing that.

Good thing it's a 1 year deal, W fans. Young already acting a fool.

Boston Celtics Team Payroll | Basketball-Reference.com

The salary cap is just under $99,100,000.

Based on this 'official' information, the Celtics with approx. $26.7 under the Cap, need to dump about $3M to fit Hayward for 2017-18. They need to dump some salary to fit Marc Gasol and Porzingis.
