2019 Offseason Thread

[wildturkey]

Did some analysis and I've come up with the best possible move that the Lakers can make that will basically guarantee them the title regardless of if they get Kawhi or not.

Sign Patrick McCaw

Its an indisputable fact that if he's on your roster come playoff time, you're winning the title.

Is that Buckalis?

He’s been vacationing in Chicago.
He was spotted with a Welcome Durant sign.

Ol' Wiggy is approaching @buckalis levels of wrong lately

I don't think so. 2021 is a different story.

Keep hearing next year FA is weak compared to the last few years.

2021 sounds strong though

In general.
Heat told Butler plan and he signed off on it.
Im sure Riley didnt say ‘ we want you to be our one and only star player’.

"the Heat are stuck with that mediocre roster for the forseeable future.no cap space, no hope"-WiggyRuss

 

[wildturkey]

Love Robin Lopez's reaction to teaming up with his brother. We need a reality show

Kanter to Boston

That FA class in 2021 looks ok. Lots of guys who used to be great and will be out of their prime though. Others who may resign before.

Here are the top names right now.

Blake Griffin
Paul George (will only be 31)
Anthony Davis
Gobert
Beal
Giannis
Drummond
Oladipo

A lot of quality young players who may sign extentions with their current teams before hitting FA though (Kuzma, Tatum, Fox, and etc)

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Kanter to Boston

I was guessing not back to Turkey.

 

[bksballer89]

Kanter to Boston

Solid starting 5

PG- Kemba
SG-Smart/Brown
SF- Tatum/Hayward
PF- Hayward/Tatum
C- Kanter

Knicks already starting to sell that Giannis/Oladipo pairing

PG- Kyrie
SG-Smart/Brown

PF- Hayward/Tatum
C- Kanter

I'm not completely hating that team.

And it kills me as a Lakers fan to say that

 

[Shanemansj13]

Kanter to Boston

Great move by Boston

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Knicks plan is so obvious.

Another 2 yr deal

What a spare parts team if I have ever seen one.

 

[bksballer89]

Next summer isn't too bad. Some guys with player options that you have to think most opt out of.

Here are the top guys with player options next season.

Hayward (think he opts in)
AD
Drummond
Derozan

Plus, every year there are players who force their way out.

Knicks moves remind me of Heat 3 summers ago.

 

[bksballer89]

Next year is one of those years where you can add quality role players to be the final piece to your championship puzzle. Lots of quality role players

Lowry
Ibaka
Gallo
Fournier
Draymond
Eric Gordon
Van Fleet
Joe Harris
Harrell

But yeah shit looking trash next summer

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Knicks moves remind me of Heat 3 summers ago.

They're basically ensuring they are at best mediocre for the next two years

Maybe that team gels enough to put them out of top lotto odds. That's their ceiling.

Would have made significantly more sense to take on bad contracts and stack picks.

Just a bad franchise.

I agree with Broussard and have been saying it.....James plays the Magic Johnson role on this team and sets up AD and Leonard, knowing he is slowing down a little and needs to elongate his career.
