2019 Offseason Thread

Yep. Definitely the most star power, plus they play in the same building.

It'll be interesting to see if that's what they do.

Although, as much fun as the other possibilities could be, if I'm the NBA, I already have Lakers/Clips in the prime time slot for Christmas. lol

I think that same building might be the tiebreaker (if it's a tie).....why send a team out of town on the holiday if it doesn't need to?

Are you forgetting the pesky detail that the Cavs had no cap room when Bosh was a FA? Probably could have made a deal for Bosh, but no way they could have traded for both, and you keep forgetting they wanted to play together.

Or that Ariza would not come because Lebron, himself, would not commit to stay?

All that said, none of this is to say NBA FAs would choose Cleveland over South Beach. But if South Beach was not an option for them to be together and the Cavs had the cap room to sign them all?

If you were not aware, Wade did choose to play the 2017-18 season here.

Not sure what could have been done or not.
I just recall Bosh said he wouldnt live in Cleveland.

As far as Wade ‘17-‘18.
Way different situation, and he sent his kids back to Miami.

Yeah....I don't care what anyone said about dry heat. 110-115 is hot as hell.

Once it hits 100. I don't even want to know the temp anymore, it's just fucking hot. lol

 

[True Lakers Fan]

Okay, I will repost my shit - correctly this time - I hope

So the Lakers have now signed Rondo, Kentavious C Pope, Demarcus Cousins as well

Starting line up should be

Rondo - PG 9 5 7
Kent Pope - SG 11 3 1
LeBron James - SF 27 8 8
Kyle Kuzma - PF 18 5 2
Anthony Davis -C 26 12 4

Based on last years stats

Reserves

Danny Green - PG
Quinn Cook - SG
JaVale McGee - C/PF?
Demarcus Cousins - C
Avery Bradley- G

I think he will/would if needed.

Id try harder for Beal.

They wouldn't budge with the Clippers.

We tried to get Beal before George.

 

[dtgold88]

But they all don't have really nice weather and great culture and outdoor activities

Wont have the weather year round, no doubt, but would think in their own way they have great culture in most areas as well as outdoor activities.

Some better than others, of course.

 

[trojanfight]

what happened to the long list of veterans wanting to sign with lakers on 1 year deals? i suppose that changed when they didn’t land kawhi

 

[bksballer89]

If this is a salary dump, make the Thunder eat a year of Dragic.

Don't give up Winslow.

Yep. Only way I'm ok with it.

Im convinced Riley will TRY for another max, now.

Indeed, that's my point. Some are far better than others

wet, dry, or damp, it's fuggin' heat...

and 100 plus, who cares at that point...?

 

[bksballer89]

To be fair, he was betting on himself. He was probably looking at a bigger pay day, or at least longer than 2 years.

Unfortunately for him, his Achilles chose to not cooperate with his plan.

He's only 28. So if he can stay healthy this year and play at least close to his pre-Achilles level, he can still get himself a big payday next off-season.

I don't get why the market for him was so down?

He avg 16/8/4 in limited minutes on a team that he was the clear 4th option and this was coming off an Achilles injury.

The Westbrook package:

Dragic
Bam
Winslow
Herro

Hypothetical that would work cap wise. And it's a no brainer. Hurry up and get it done.

What do you mean? They HAVE been signing

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Yep. Only way I'm ok with it.

I like Winslow, but I doubt if push comes to shove, Riley would lose getting a 2nd star over keeping him.

 

[bksballer89]

Starting to think Zion going to have injury issues throughout his career.

 

[Shanemansj13]

And so it begins

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Dragic
Bam
Winslow
Herro

I’ll pass on that, please.

Quit while you're behind.

Danny Green at the point?

Ffs

Switch Cook and Green.

Cook is a combo guard, Green is a shooting guard.

Boogie and Mcgee?

GOOD.

LAWD.

I honestly think one will start and they won't play together much.

Maybe against the 76ers?

It's not that kinda league anymore.

Brow doesn't want to play the 5 full-time.
