2019 Offseason Thread

But he did resign. This is the only fact we have.

Just as it is still fact that they traded for him.

They did not sign him as a free agent when they originally acquired him.

Alexander-Walker has no business playing in the summer league. He's a NBA player. He's going to start for the Pelicans by the all-star break. Dunno over who, but yeah...

Or if they maximize on Jrue Holiday's value and eventually trade him.

 

[DJ]

We'll agree to disagree.

Yeah, the kids play for the love of the game since like only 1-2% will ever get paid to play....

 

[DJ]

I disagree.

The kid from VT? He's got serious upside.

If 23 years is “almost 30”

Then yes.

But I would have probably just said 23 years instead of exaggerating.

Yeah, he clearly forgot about Shaq....

Too many teams, but the same 8-12 always in the mix, ability level sooooo low, so slow, games take FOREVER. Best players sit out the bowl games, best players go to which big school can funnel them secret $ best...

I'm not a big football guy in general but college football is so worthless.

You nailed it, couldn't have said it better myself.

all rookies play in summer league unless they're hurt

lol

Great night for my VT guys. NAW continuing to tear up SL. I thought he'd be a sneaky good draft pick in the middle of the 1st round but I didn't expect him to look this good this quick. NO has a crowded back court, but he's gonna be pushing for playing time quick. He's been the best rookie out there in all of Summer League

And then the Wizards signed Justin Robinson, who went undrafted, to a legit NBA rookie deal, not just a two-way G-League deal.

 

[trojanfan12]

if thats the case LeBron is the first big time free agent the Lakers signed in almost 30 years.

lol

And?

There's no need to sign big time free agents when you are re-signing your own.

Maybe he should

NAW is the reason I really like the Pelicans draft.

I really don’t think there is much difference between him and Hunter as pro prospects. Hunter has a higher floor for sure, but I would not be shocked if NAW is as good or better.

And, NOLA was able to get Hayes and a future protected first out of that trade also.

I'd have gone 20+ I think.

Who said otherwise?

But when he was a FA he resigned with the Cavs.......despite many doubling down on him leaving for LA.

Epstein should have done the same.
No reason for rich old guy to go younger than legal.
18+ just as fresh, but often with experience.

Dude only has one client that matters.

No surprise he didn't want to see this happen.

Sad, costing this guy Money.

Morris, according to a source, turned down a $41 million offer from the Clippers before pivoting to the Spurs and, eventually, the Knicks.
