2017 NBA Offseason Thread

Wade's going to be all alone in Chicago. #grassisntgreener

Until he forces buyout and joins them in Feb.
My guess though is no chance Bulls take #4 pick for Butler.
This isnt his final year.
They can do better.

He's chillin' with @WiggyRuss

You cant trade consecutive years, right
Stepien rule.

#originalCavsidiotowner

In this case, you can't. Future consecutive 1st rounders cannot be traded. When you are in one of the 2 consecutive years, options open up.

 

[shopson67]

Couldnt blame either side

LOL sources in Cleveland starting rumors about what Butler will do tho....

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

The Sixers are going to be the most must-watch team next season. Crazy.

I was gonna watch just for Embiid and Simmons.

Fultz just makes it better.

Someone posed a question about who has the best young talent a few months back.

Jazz, Bucks, Lakers, 6ers, Suns, Wolves were all in the conversation.

Gonna be fun to revisit that debate in January.

Gilbert has angry midget disease.....thinks GM's are replaceable and he isn't.

If the Lakers do take Ball.....I like us. The Sixers have injury concerns, the Lakers not so much. However, the Wolves probably have the best if I'm being unbiased.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Ball
Russell
Ingram
Clarkson
Randle
Zublacka

 

[DJ Fieri]

Somebody mentioned Ingram as a stretch 4 yesterday and I could see that.

How is the owner of a team replaceable? Outside of him pulling a Sterling, how's he going to get fired as an owner?

If he adds at least 30 lbs.

Knicks like Josh Jackson, eh?

#2 + D'Angelo Russell for Pozingis + #8. Knicks take Jackson, LA takes Malik Monk. Get Jeanie on the phone with Phil to talk about the good ole days and sweet talk him into the deal. Everyone goes home happy.

That's......



WOW....That's not a bad deal.

If the Knicks are considering this you'd have to think they expect to keep their #8 pick in addition to whatever Krispy gets them.

Knicks fans would love to find a way...

Yeah, this is not a Buss family committee situation where you can vote his ass off the Island.

But, DJ is right about him being a sack of shit.

Mother Fucker thinks he's Jerry Jones. He's fucking awful, if half of this stuff is true.

@tlance add this to my hater ledger for " He who shall not be named ".


Jason Lloyd: One person who knows Cavs well likened front office machinations to Game of Thrones. Fitting comparison.



Sometimes Gilbert would insert himself into trade talks, calling another owner directly, and derailing Griffin’s plans. Sometimes he’d send scathing emails on subjects within and outside Griffin’s control. And other times he was nowhere to be found, unreachable or distant at key moments.

Griffin balanced it all the past couple of seasons while dealing with his third bout of cancer since first being diagnosed in 2006. There were long treatment sessions. His signature red hair all but disappeared. Griffin hardly ever let on publicly, offering only a few clues along the way, such as the lapel pin he wore to his news conference after the dismissal of David Blatt, meant to show solidarity to others with the disease.

According to @WiggyRuss, he's the best owner in sports.

Depends on what happens in Utah.

But, agree on Philly.

They look great on paper. Gotta stay healthy.

I would go Healthy Wolves * Lavine*, Deer.

I love Gobert and Hayward.

But, I'm not a Lyles or Favors fan.

Hood, Burks gets hurt a lot and Exum has shown very little growth.

But that's what I was eluding to. I've been saying for years that Gilbert's a sack of ass.

But how's he replaceable? That's my question. He isn't. Unless the city of Cleveland boycotts the Cavs and he's forced to sell because of no return on investment.
