2021 NBA Offseason

[WiggyRuss]

who will be the new Patrick McCaw tonight?

According to you Steph Curry sucks, so was that really an accomplishment?

??? when did i say Steph Curry sucks?

i just said he didnt deserve to be a multi time MVP winner- hes getting old- only plays 1 way and just got booted out of the 8th seed by JA Morant.

hes still a All Star All NBA player- at least at htis point.

It's a good regular season move. Lebron can rest some and you can still win games with Russ/AD. Or if one guy is hurt, you still have 2 stars so you'll win plenty of games. But the Lakers shouldn't be making regular season moves. They need to make closing line up playoff series moves. You're jamming a square pegged Russ into a round hole with this move. It could work out, but if it does, its mostly gonna be on the strength and skill of Lebron (and AD), not because of fit or xs and os.

All I know is every vet min player (which is basically all they can afford) they target better be able to shoot. I mean every single one. You can't at least hit league average from 3, don't even call them

Yep. I love Westbrook. I don't love him as a Laker. But yeah, they really need to get some shooters now. I agree about the regular season too. If they had Westbrook this season, no way they slip all the way to 7th.

That had to be a different year…I don’t recall

denying GSW the ability to call themselves the all time greatest team in a 72 win season while coming back from 3-1, and having LeBron tea-bag Draymond was a lot of fun- i gotta say.

It is all Cavs fans have....LOL.

Yep.

James has been recruiting....we will add some vets.

 

[trojanfan12]

He's the 3rd star we needed to form a big 3. Pretty sure I mentioned us trading for him earlier this season.

Not the one we needed.

I'm pretty sure I was asleep in 2016 the entire month of June. So we're even.

 

[WiggyRuss]

did the Wiz take the Lakers 1st round pick too?

Nothing official yet on this. Still discussing if it could potentially be future 2nds and whatnot.

I'm not too worried about shooting. They won the 'ship without great shooters over a year ago.

My main issue is that there was absolutely no offense when Lebron and AD were out. Westbrook fixes that.

And to get him for Kuz, Trez and KCP seems like a pretty good deal.

Shooters will come to a tram with a big 3 like that.

 

[trojanfan12]

AT least if LEBron is hurt and has to sit a few games the wheels dont come off.

That's the silver lining that I'm looking at. Like said earlier, if they have Westbrook this past season, they don't slip to 7th.

Also, it adds the playmaker they need. But as @wildturkey said...everyone they sign going forward needs to be able to at least shoot league average from 3.

 

[tlance]

Or you are really banking on rui and devi….

really curious who they draft now

They don’t have a coherent plan. They never do.

 

[CitySushi]

Wizards should definitely be trying to move up from 15 to get Davion Mitchell if he drops past the Warriors at 7.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Westbrook Davis and LBJ have to be the highest paid trio in the history of the NBA. LAL will not have cap room for a long time.

 

[DJ Fieri]

We need to sign and trade Schroder for a shooter.

 

[trojanfan12]

What's it like to draft generational talents and then have them leave because they hate it there?

Ouch. That's gonna leave a mark. lol

It is about winning now. Not collecting draft picks, Sparky.

True

Wiggy has a fetish for cap space. Just look at how he kept shitting on the Warriors for their tax problems. Worked out ok for us fans.

winning often requires flexiblity to add

the Lakers have no draft picks and no cap space.

its vet. min. tax payer mid level and thats it.

and the only reason you got westbrook for a bunch of mediocre dudes is because westbrook has issues and makes an ungodly amount of money
