2019 Offseason Thread

Th

This season is genuinely going to be fun in both conferences.

West is completely open and even in the East other than maybe Philly and Milwaukee being 1 and 2, I dont know where to put any other team.

Perhaps it's just easier to name the worst teams?

That's easy. Cleveland.

Perfect role for Kuz then

I'm just not a big fan of Kuzma. I don't think he will flourish with this team but I hope I'm wrong.

 

[OutlawImmortal]

I think 6th man would be a perfect role for Kuz with Cousins on the team. AD can help to cover him on the defensive end as opposed to when he was on the Warriors.

Disappointed the Lakers didn't get Kawhi but this type of parity in the league is something to be excited about.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

I meant I'll pass on putting westbrook heat on twitter.

I'll wait for woj or one of the heat reporters to post something

Last week what would it have looked like if one typed in Khawi/Lakers lol

Lakers success will be determined by health.

I don't know about that.

Assuming he is the 3rd option, he should get touches.

The presence of Lebron and AD should, theoretically make things easier for Kuzma because teams aren't going to be able to double him.

Lebron isn't going to be looking to dominate games nearly as much as he used to and has always been a great and willing passer. Kuzma should get better looks and Lebron will find him when he's open.

Kuzma's scoring may not necessarily increase, but he may become a much more efficient scorer.

This.

CHRIS SHERIDAN ON FOXRADIO JUST SAID RUSSELL WESTBROOK TOLD OKC THE HEAT ARE HIS PREFERRED TRADE DESTINATION


I copied/pasted this.
I didnt see or hear it.

Look I'm not saying Kuz is an all star in the making but he was the 27th draft pick and has averaged 17ppg over the last few seasons.

And he earns less than $2m this season

Late first round picks can be good?

Still going to be difficult to facilitate a trade, probably need to get another team involved too.

If I was a Heat fan I would want to avoid this UNLESS you can keep Winslow or Winslow and Bam.

Doubt we could keep Winslow.
Need his salary involved, plus OKC needs a good player in return.

So if you were able to keep Bam AND Herro would you want this to happen?

 

[tlance]

I really want to see Russ to Houston.

Realistic trade is CP3 + 3 or 4 picks and swaps for Russ

Ideal trade for entertain value would be:

Russ for EG, Capella and Tucker

That would be awesome to watch those 3 try to play together. Knowing Morey, he is just crazy enough to try something like that.

The other team should be the Mavs but fuck the Mavs.

That would be such a disaster.

At the same time... Houston is on the outside looking in when it comes to a title chance, and they gotta do something. Right?

 

[dtgold88]

Have to say if I was a Heat fan and wanted Westbrook, I cannot imagine losing Herro would be a detriment for me.

If its Dragic, Winslow, Leonard.
Yes.

Gotta keep Bam, Herro

this is when the bullshit post would come in really handy.

I was listening to the radio and they said that RW would have limited value and could be had for expiring contracts and a first rounder due to his age/contract. That he has positive value but only slight positive value.

Personally- I would value him at more than that, but thats what he said he has heard his value is on the market and that when he is traded it will not be for nearly as much as the average fan might expect. That Pistons and Heat are the two main destinations.

Either one could have him for expiring contracts and a pick or two or a young player.

If the Cavs offered their multitude of expiring contracts and Sexton they could easily get him supposedly.
