2019 Offseason Thread

Thank you Captain Obvious.

There was an actual point in the rest of my post.

Taking a piece of it out of context like this is pretty ridiculous.

Could have. Certainly not a given though. We could argue could haves all day long and get nowhere. Nothing was concrete.

True but we can use common sense and know Lebron has never been shy about openly recruiting players and figure they probably had a discussion.

People are sleeping on Denver and Utah.

Call me crazy but I think there is a possibilty of a LA showdown in round 1. That's how good I think Utah, Denver, and Houston will be in the regular season. I think all of those teams should finish with about 53-57 wins IMO

I could see those 3 teams get 1-3 seeds, the west is gonna be tough.

Because in 2 years now the Lakers have had room in FA for at least one max guy to join Lebron and none would do it.

Not "none". 2 guys wouldn't. Lakers didn't chase any others. It was Kawhi or bust this year, and last year was basically Lebron then George or bust (Kawhi was a trade target, and that was blocked by the Spurs, not Kawhi).

The Lakers would've had options for max players had they not been held up by Kawhi. Whether or not they were WORTH the max was a big part of the reason why the Lakers focused on Kawhi or depth.

You don't know GNG? He is a piece of work

 

[bksballer89]

Welcome Back, JaMychal Green.

Having him will make those load mana days much easier.

Clippers bench will be one of the best in the league

You say it as though this is fact. Not possible PG was not thinking of leaving but was approached after LAC approached his team about it?

That is not what was reported.

But go ahead and make up your own scenario if it makes you feel good.

 

[shopson67]

Everytime I look out for Woj bomb, it never happens. But then when I go to work or do some other stuff, or I'm asleep, it appears. Smh...

I fell asleep with the TV on late Friday night only to wake up to the Kawhi decision just before 2AM (EST). Had to stay up for at least an hour after that to see who the Lakers would quickly sign thereafter, lol.

Which is crazy.

I think folks are just getting caught up in the excitement.

Lakers have older guys and one hopefully core piece, Boogie, with injury concerns.

Both the Clippers stars are currently gimp.

They aren't worried about winning the regular Season.

Portland and Utah have unleashed HELL the second half of the regular Season the last 2 Seasons.

The Rox did it last year.

Denver actually got BETTER and the Dubs have Curry.

I would be happy with Homecourt.

Even that's not a given this year.

 

[dtgold88]

That's why I answered the other similar post instead of his, lol. Ain't nobody got time for that....

So you reply to a post about me to say you wont reply to my post?

Um....K.

"Call me crazy"

Okay you asked.

They still need help up front.

BREAKING NEWS

The Nuggets will not allow Michael Porter Jr. to leave his condo alone due to fear of injury. The team even baby proofed the place. They sure are taking the extra steps to make sure he stays healthy.

Probably been some improvements as this was the 70s. Maybe they should try this?

I don't doubt this is possible......but asking and demanding (as some have said) are different.

You can’t really “demand” a trade when you are under contract for 4 more years.

OKC had leverage which is why LAC gave up so much.

But they don’t trade George unless George wants to be traded. When he asked and LAC offered a ton of picks, it gave OKC a way out of their tax mess and they took it.

I do think the Clippers are set up better if an injury were to occur to one of their stars than the Lakers though. Clippers need to get some more frontcourt depth. Harrell and Zubac is nice but isn't that it? They have bird rights on Green, you think they bring him back?

Zubac * vomits*, Fake Dikembe, Trezl, Jamychal Green.

Another big couldn't hurt.

I suggested the other day the Nuggets should think about wrapping MP Jr. in bubble wrap before games. But that would really restrict his movement on the court.

Lol. Your next post is 100k FYI

He's back.

2/10....great deal.
