2021 NBA Offseason

I’m just here for all the Ben Simmons daily trade rumors. Whatcha got people?

That's another thread

 

[The Q]

That's a relief personally. I'm all about sending Kuzma for a different piece, but trading for Kemba with the #22 potentially means Schroder will walk with nothing in return and they have used their draft pick. No way to replace Kuzma on the roster unless it's a vet min deal for someone like Melo.

they could still sign and trade Schroeder if they traded for kemba

At what point do they become hard-capped?

 

[The Q]

At what point do they become hard-capped?

If they acquire a player via sign ans trade or use the big mle (which they used on Harrell last year) or they use the bae (which they can’t this year because they used it last year on matthews)

For some reason I was thinking of the Kuzma/pick for Kemba as being a S&T, which would've kept them from another S&T.

I have a feeling they'll keep their pick this year and probably look to move Kuz and possibly THT if they can get good value in return.

Don't see them going for Kemba or DeRozan.

They should go for DeRozan

Only if they're expecting Lebron or AD to be injured multiple games next season.

He wouldn't work very well if Lebron and AD are healthy.

If they go into the season not expecting them BOTH to be injured multiple games it will be a huge mistake.

well really it's only AD with the injury issues. LBJ not so much. but the ones he's getting take him out for a number of games. father time is undefeated...

that said, I like DeMar, but I also am not sure where he'd fit on the Lakers' roster...

6th man role IMO.

 

[shopson67]

6th man role IMO.

He would have to come cheap on the S&T, not close to his previous salary ($27M). If he's a contract match for Kuzma or cheaper, it helps with the poor fit. A S&T will hard cap them though, so they would need to do any other deals first.

Would still prefer a 3/D player. The continued development of THT in a wing role instead of backup PG could be the 6th man they need.

Regular season injuries can be absorbed. Need to be healthy and locked in for the postseason is the issue.

Yes, but that is just pot luck when you are dealing with older and or injury prone guys.

Rumors flying around the OKC about ongoing talks with the Pistons.

Why?

Why?

Ummm for the first pick in the draft.

The Thunder own 3000 first round picks over the next few years. Is that not enough?

Well I’m sure you know there is a big difference between 1 and 6 if there is someone you want. Thunder will be looking for value with everyone above them trying to get Mobley in the end.

maybe join the ufc if you want to fight so much?
