2019 Offseason Thread

[GNG]

More annoying.....Wiggy or DT-Buttplug?

Buckalis.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

We are good on guards, we need a backup PF/C.....Stoudemire would be the need. If we went with 1 of the 2.

Kyle Korver got released today. That's probably who its going to

 

[ducky]

Lol

Put down the blunt homie

You don't think they can't get a huge haul for Westbrook?

This isn't a AD situation where the guy can just say I am a one year rental. Westbrook is an unquestionable top 10 player in the league who is locked down for 4 years. Why would OKC give him away? If they don't get a great offer they will just wait until December when teams can start throwing in this year free agents and draft picks. And if they don't get a great offer after that, they can just wait till next offseason. At some point they are going to get a huge haul for Westbrook. Why would they send him on for pennies on the dollar now? Might be a headache to have him on the team this season. But not so big of one that they should settle for a trade with zero star potential in return.

They aren’t going to pay him and miss the playoffs. He will be traded in the next few days.

 

[thunderc]

So the Thunder are now letting their free agents they made agreements with back out if they want. So far Alex Burcs moved on to the warriors and Muscala is staying.

 

[logic]

I don’t know man.

Cousins, McGee, Davis, Kuzma, LeBron, Dudley all getting minutes at 4 and 5

Think a guy like Ellis might be more likely to get a few minutes.
But they could use 1 more big body for insurance

its the contract and the fact that he already looks worse than he did a couple years ago- especially defensively.

Hes still a great great player and top 15 player in the league in my estimation, but 43 million a year for 4 years carries a lot of risk.

They wont get much more than expiring contracts and a pick or player or two.

because of the following:

-and first, I would say that if I were a team that was o nthe brink i WOULD trade for him if i thought it pushed me over the top.

Why I would Stay away:

-declining defense
-guy relies on his athleticism and has a lot of miles on him
-the contract- by far the biggest reason
-not that many suitors- how many teams are in on him? Detroit, Miami, maybe New York?
-sub-30% three point shooting in a league where that is rough for a guard
-is he coachable?

why I WOULD trade for him if I was a team that could win it?
-talent wins in the playoffs- in the playoffs it comes down to who can take who 1 on 1 a lot of the time and Westbrook can do that
-he plays extremely hard and goes out there every single night that he possibly can
-the games best rebounding guard in the game
-one man fast break
