2019 Offseason Thread

RW may demand a trade shortly....Lol

He was almost a package deal with George.

Can't imagine where he will be traded.

Knicks?

 

[trojanfan12]

There were Raptors fans pissed about trading Demar for Kawhi well into the season. Can you imagine being upset at that for even a minute let alone an extended period of time?

Some fans are just very irrational.

I could kind of see that just because DeRozan really seemed like he had completely embraced Toronto and was "all in" on being a Raptor for the rest of his career.

Assuming you guys aren't as good this coming season, it'll be interesting to see if any of them start saying "We should have just kept DeMar".

It is

It was siakam ++++ and no assurance that kawhi came.

Look at thise picks the clippers gave up.
Unprotected in 24 25 26. Those could be huge

Never. The trade was worth it 100000%.

Whatever you need to tell yourself.

Honestly, if you're happy, I'm happy. I watched him for a season and an offseason and didn't think much of him. Just my opinion.

Got nothing against the Lakers or any other team. Just didn't imagine anybody watching his playoff performance and thinking he was worth that kind of cap space.

 

[trojanfan12]

They overpaid a bit.

But, they had competition for the last quality 3 and d guy available.

They also had to pay KCP because...well....Klutch.

Davis still needs to extend this Summer. So, Klutch still has the Lakers by the balls.

If Danny doesn't pan out, they can trade him to the Cavs for another Klutch client, Jordan Clarkson.

The good thing is that they all seem to be getting signed to 2 year deals. So that will be good to hopefully rebuild around AD.

If anyone says this they should be summarily executed.

 

[trojanfan12]

It was the Tater.

So, don't waste your keystrokes....lol

That's all that need be said. lol

Yep. You won a freaking NBA title.

True.

Again: It was worth it for a chip.

Plus, you are from under that Derozan contract.

He's a good player and a sensitive soul. But he's not a #1.

One more year of Kyle and just build around Siakam, OG and Vanfleet.

 

[trojanfan12]

I like the Cook signing too.

So do I.

All things considered, I think Pelinka is doing a good job getting the "best of the leftovers" to put together a fairly solid roster.

There may be hope for him after all.

Although, to be completely fair, it can also be a little easier when there isn't a lot to choose from. lol

 

[trojanfan12]

Never. The trade was worth it 100000%.

Agree. End of the day, you guys got a title. Nothing replaces that.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

I love how nobody mentions Kuz on the Lakers any more.

He’s a fantastic #3 option

Got nothing against the Lakers or any other team. Just didn't imagine anybody watching his playoff performance and thinking he was worth that kind of cap space.

He was pretty much the only quality 3 and D guy left and other teams were going after him. Someone was going to pay him.

The Lakers seem to be making these all 2 year deals. So, if he doesn't pan out, they can move him after the season as an expiring contract or just let him walk in 2 years.

Demar is their Blake, minus the injuries.

First All star to not bolt for greener pastures and actually wanted to be there long-term.

I can only speak for myself. But, my head knew the Logo was right.

We were going nowhere fast with Bg32. Yet, it still hurt when they dealt him.

When you are constantly getting left at the alter, it's not hard to get attached to the guys that are devoted.

Felt the same about J Crossover and Caron Butler.

Cp3 was the only one I wanted gone.

 

[trojanfan12]

If anyone says this they should be summarily executed.

Agree.

But you know as well as I do that someone trying to have a "hot take" is going to say something like that. lol

True.

Cook's a good move, too.

yeah, I'll take the O'Brien every friggin time...

Because we are talking about 3 and d wings, guards.

Kuz ain't that.

Shit, we have never been to a conference finals.

So, yeah....lol
