2022 NBA Offseason thread

If the Cavs had LeBron James- would they be the favorites in the East?

Just added to the roster? Yes...easily. Might even be even money to win the title.

Though I'm sure many other teams could say the same.

Yea. Straight adding Lebron to any number of rosters immediately vault them

without giving much thought to it thinking at least a dozen teams become at least the favorite (maybe not even money) if they add Lebron to current roster. Might help us more in the sense we lack a true stud SF.

at least 7 in the east

Yes but we are also talking about a 38 year old Lebron. I dont think it matters with Garland, Mobley, Allen and the other pieces. Adding Lebron to that is dangerous

 

[The Q]

Simons and Sharpe are a very good start.

Can’t be Simon’s if it’s this offseason due to the ridiculous sign and trade rules

I’ll bet the Warriors aren’t…

Kyrie + KD deserve each other

 

[Mebert]

You wouldn't like Murray for Russell and a few picks......seriously?

I think you misunderstand my take on that one. I would be happy if Russel was just gone, getting one of the best peremiter defenders in all of basketball for him? Hell yes

 

[Mecca]

Yea I skipped over the whole trade part. Nope. They'd more likely let Kyrie walk.

Anyone who holds out a glimmer of hope on this, look how it went the first time....

Also why I think KD came to the Nets to begin with and why he wants Kyrie to stay.

Both stops he was an outsider at least in his mind.

Ps. I would hate Perk if I were either of these guys.

Stfu.


It was the most difficult situation that I’ve ever been in coming from a Celtics team that was so close. When I got to the Oklahoma City Thunder, it was so separated. You had Eric Maynor, Russell Westbrook and James Harden… and Daequan Cook. They had their little clique and they kicked it with each other. Then you had KD who as just by himself. He didn’t even hang with them.”

“Their continuity wasn’t there,” Perkins said on a recent appearance on JJ Redick’s The Old Man & the Three podcast (h/t Lee Tran of Fadeaway World) about Westbrook and Durant. “No matter how much they tried to fake it to the public, their brotherhood, it never was a brotherhood. And that’s okay, right, because you don’t have to be somebody’s brother to go out there and win a championship. But it helps. They never just got on the same page

He Def shouldn't be talking on stuff like that openly.

He Def shouldn't be talking on stuff like that openly.

His playing career hasn't even been over long enough for him to be dry snitching to this extent

Makes what Lebron did that much greater. You think Lebron and Kyrie would hang out and were close? Probably not

I’ll bet the Warriors aren’t…

The Warriors would 100% be open to that.

Draymond still calls KD his “brother” and they are the ones who had beef.

If KD wanted to return, GS would be absolutely be open to the idea.

Now would they pay Brooklyn’s price?

That is a different question.

What's the price

 

[Shanemansj13]

What's the price

Basically trading KD for Wiggins and adding pieces + picks. Kuminga and/or Wiseman

To be honest while the Warriors wouldn't have a problem with him coming back, they wouldn't do what it would take to get him (trade away all their young assets and pay even more luxury tax). And they wouldn't break up the big 3 either. So not happening.
