2021 NBA Offseason

This was PERFECT




For those that don't know, Sami Zayn (guy in the Knicks jersey) is "the bad guy" and brought out a surprise guest for the NYC fans at MSG.

He should’ve came out with Reggie Miller.

This is all Ben Simmons needs to really do. If he could get a turn around jumper and a mid range that’s money he could be deadly. Livingston used his height advantage and was incredible from the mid range. Add in Ben’s explosiveness and that’s an unstoppable combo.

Interesting list:

The most difficult contracts to trade in the NBA

Every year there are new contracts negotiated that turn out to be negative values. While it’s debatable if there is any contract that is truly “untradeable”, there are certainly f…

Say what you will about Stephen A, but how can you not respect that answer?

He owned it and gave his reasons.

Most people would have dodged that question. Or at least not answered in any detail.

I'm no Screamin' A fan, but have to agree. He owned it and gave his reasons. Sometimes, something that works just stops working and a change has to be made. We see it all the time in sports. Coaches leave, players leave, etc. because things get stale or just don't work as well as they used to.

Best to move on earlier before any hard feelings, etc. start, rather than later when folks are mad.

1000%. I can't predict where I think the Warriors will end up.

Depends on:

1) Klay's health
2) Wiggins improved play
3) Wiseman taking a significant step forward
4) No major injuries
5) 2 quality bench players stepping up on a nightly basis(my bet would be on Poole and Porter)

I do think the Warriors are in much better shape as a team right now as compared to last season. If one of the rooks can play some quality minutes here or there that's a bonus.

Yep....I think they said could finish anywhere from out of playoffs (play in loss) to 2 seed.

Cavs 45 wins?

lol

Yes.

 

[dtgold88]

he must have them getting simmons for free

Not at all. But, sure, might need Simmons to reach that figure. Improvement again from Sexton, Garland and Okoro (not crazy) plus Mobley showing a lot as a rookie (something like 15-18 and 9-10) might do it, too. Least likely there might be Mobley IMO.

Of course, did say top and bottom end of those numbers not likely.

was interesting and no real disagreements. as to the cavs on list, thought Love might have been higher but seems fair. I disagree on Allen because of his age. That contract will be moveable if they ever want to deal it unless he regresses. Guess is he'll be underpaid when the cap eventually explodes in 2-3 years.

Klay comes off, of course, if he can be just a little worse than pre-injury.

Yes.

The next three seasons combined?
