2020 NBA Offseason

[Sparhawk]

Gotchya. Make them swaps...get as many picks as possible. If those guys don't stay in Brooklyn those future picks could turn out being damn good.

Yup.

RealGM is a pretty neat site to see all the assets that teams have and the trades that they have made.

There is only one team that has no picks incoming and no picks outgoing, which pretty much sums up that team.

"Don't call us..... we'll call you!!!"

Would obviously need a buy-in from all three but I'm sure they would make sure that happens before pulling the trigger.

True. But saying "we can make it work" is one thing. The reality of it when guys figure out what it means as far their stats, can be a completely different thing.

KD joined the Warriors, won back to back rings and likely would have a three-peat if not for injuries, won 2 finals MVP awards and still left over touches.

The Brett Brown conundrum.
I mean, I'm ok with the Sixers standing pat, just so I can see what a new coaching staff can do with this team.

If a no-brainer trade comes along, then by all means.

I'd like to see them bring him back. They figured out how/when to use him and it worked out well. It also would help cut back on how much AD had to play the 5. Which helps to keep him happy.

 

[trojanfan12]

They are working on a trade for Harden and a sign-and-trade with Giannis don't worry lol

Shit, if The Logo is still involved....it wouldn't surprise me. There's a bit of a history with him of teams he's working with getting real quiet and then something big happens.

Interesting. The Lakers may have a decision to make.

KCP wants a long term deal as well and is 2 years younger. Although Bradley isn't exactly old at 29.

With Schroder coming in, not sure the Lakers need both.

If he's playing well, Bradley is better than KCP, imo. But KCP has been pretty good the past couple of years and as mentioned, is younger.

 

[LambeauLegs]

I am sure his eagerness depends on giannis

What are ths odds of the Bucks doing these deals if the Freak is not staying?

 

[dtgold88]

Woah, didn’t expect that

like all big deals.

Unless some different info has come out. He didn't bitch out. He opted out because his 6 year old son has a history of struggling to recover from respiratory illnesses and would have ben unlikely to have been cleared for the bubble when families were allowed in.

Lakers' Bradley, citing family, opts out of restart

Lakers guard Avery Bradley informed team management that he intends to sit out the season's resumption in Orlando, Florida, he told ESPN on Tuesday night.

Obviously they are proceeding as if he is

Schroder can play the 1 or the 2 but really a guy that sets up the offense. Bradley and KCP can play the 2 or 3. Not knowing Kuzma's future...I think it would be good to have that depth, especially for injuries purposes

 

[dtgold88]

Seems way too much

agree...I'd rather have kept Brogdon, Bledsoe, Hill and my picks than have Jrue.

Okay wasn't aware of that. I guess I don't like then that he was one of the leading voices against playing. Make your personal decision and allow others to do their thing.

 

[trojanfan12]

Hard to say. Giannis may be sitting back to see if he likes the moves and feels that he has a roster he can win a title with.

If you're the Bucks, until he says "I'm out", you do whatever you can to convince him to stay.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Imo, getting Schroder and keeping Kuzma is a better deal.

They improved the team, still have him as a trade piece if something comes up later and if they don't trade him, they still have a solid young player who hasn't hit his prime yet.

Maybe Pelinka knows what he's doing after all? lol

This.
