2019 Offseason Thread

Avery?

Or

Bradley?

I'm assuming Avery and that would actually make a ton of sense.

Another good wing defender in the vain of Pat Beverley.

He could be the D and Korver your 3.

Avery Bradley, yeah. I'm not exactly sure how much the Lakers have open. I think all they have left is the room exception, which he could fit into.

Does anyone think the Rockets would be fool enough to add Westbrook?

Yes, I do. They are desperate at this point. They have gone from being 1 win away from the finals to what? A 5th or 6th seed?

CP3 is old and while he's still one of the best point guards in the league when healthy, he just can't stay healthy.

Masai will have tons of cap room after next season.
Giannis 2021 to the Raps. Book it

Yep. I was amazed at how quickly guys were signing. Overall, Kawhi handled his FA a lot more like most FA's do. But everyone else signing so quickly made it look like he was dragging things out.



Yeah, either J'Mychal or Morris would be great if the Lakers can get one of them.

I think Marc Gasol opted in with the Raptors.



Yeah, I'd be surprised if the Suns didn't match an offer for Oubre. Wouldn't mind the Lakers giving Boogie a shot.

I don't think they can afford Dragic. I think he is set to get $19 million.

Oh, yeah....

Forgot Marc opted in.

Sever teams, including both of ours, should kick the tires on Boogie.

Clippers are kinda Fucked at Center.

Trezl, is undersized.

Fake Dikembe, is a rookie.

Zubac, is a fucking project.

This is going to create more fireworks I’m sure

 

[trojanfan12]

I don’t think any Lakers fan is really distressed about what happened. Sure we would have loved Kawhi and it hurts seeing him on the Clippers but the Lakers have improved a LOT.

Agree. Kawhi is my faorite player in the league, period. So I was really hoping the Lakers would get him.

But it's hard to be distressed when you have 2 top 5 players on your team.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

I mean, you shoot your shot when it's a top 3 guy.

The problem is how many guys came off the board while you waited.

I'd probably still take Green over Redick.

So, you didn't miss out on that much.

A name the Lakers should target?

J'Mychal Green.

I want him to stay with us and we have bird rights.

But, he and Morris are the guys I want most.

What's up with Marc Gasol?

Gotta think the Suns are gonna match anything for Oubre....nobody has big money outside Dallas.

...and Boogie?

Heat keeping Dragic?

Westbrook getting dealt?

Off-season isn't over yet...

Does anyone think the Rockets would be fool enough to add Westbrook?

What's the early word on Westbrook?

not outta the realm of possibilities...

Buckalis would hate you for life, though...

 

[trojanfan12]

There are 10 TITLE contenders IMO. My list in no specific order

Bucks
Sixers
Celtics
Clippers
Lakers
Nuggets
Jazz
Blazers
Rockets
Warriors (if Klay comes back healthy)

Hell, I wouldn't care where you have them ranked...I'm just happy to see the Lakers on a contenders list again. lol

I said the same yesterday.

Others debated Davis being top 5.

And by others, I mean Wiggy....lol

But, he is a top 5 talent and will be lethal with a healthy LeBron and shooters.

beats the snot outta being a doormat...

What's the early word on Westbrook?

He is being shopped

 

[Mecca]

This is the best chance for a team like the Clippers, Jazz, Denver to get a chip.

I fear for the NBA when KD comes back.

Depth, shooters and two of the best rim protectors in the NBA.

Brooklyn is gonna be scary.

You mean Wiggy is biased against certain teams?

 

[Mecca]

Dirty, nasty, filthy LIIIIIIIIIEEEEESSSSS!

* whispers *

Yup.

 

[Black Adam]

You mean Wiggy is biased against certain teams?

I certainly woulda never guessed. He hid it so well...

I think most of what Wiggy said was just him trying to argue with me.

Earlier, I had AD outside the top 5 (like 6 or 7 I think) because I considered him injury prone.

Then, after the trade to the Lakers, I looked at his stats and saw that he has played 75 games in his 2 seasons prior to this past one and likely would have played in that many this past season, but the Pels were trying to not play him.

So I moved him into the top 5 because he wasn't as injury prone as I had thought.

So, of course Wiggy then had to try to claim that I only did it because he came to the Lakers.

It’s 12pm ET....


Let the games begin!

If he were on the Cavs, he'd manipulate the stats to elevate him to top 3.
