2022 NBA Offseason thread

[DJ]

Fire Rob Lowe if we have another shitty season.

Only got the job because he was Kobe's agent. SMH.

The Lakers moving Westbrook for Harris or even a Julius Randle would be ideal but I doubt anything will happen at least until the trade deadline. The Lakers are going to be stuck with RW for a while yet because nobody really wants this guy and his albatross contract even though it is expiring.

BTW, the new cap numbers have initailly been released. Good news for cap-hell teams like the Lakers.

Sources: NBA salary cap likely to hit $123.6M

The NBA salary-cap number for next season, which will be finalized by the start of the league year Thursday, is projected to increase to $123.6 million.

We bringing back Johnson and Gabriel. They earned it with their hard work and hustle.

What is it that you THINK you have in Gabriel?

He was with the Clippers for awhile.

Long, hustle player.

Less athletic, which isn't a insult because most folks are, skid row version of Derrick Jones Jr.


.....Maybe not even skid row.

Border Wall encampment version is probably closer to the truth.

If there is any truth to this, the Lakers doing a lot of circling-back-around these days.

Young and cheap. Plays hard and played good defensively. 10th or 11th guy.

Johnson a little better. Played some decent defense.

Yep.

He's a emergency big.

Johnson is a rotation player.

But, I get what you are saying.

Might as well reward the guy who worked his ass off if no better options are available.

I think you will get a few of the better reclamation projects.

Monk is the blueprint for other guys that need to rehab their value.

Won't be surprised if Olidipo is one of them.

Especially if Monk Walks.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Passed on Luka and Trae to end up with Claxton, Harris and another fucking guy named Cameron?

* Payne, Johmson*

Damn, they could have 3 Cam's

Johnson was out of the League when we signed him. He came in and played well....after his failure with....Detroit I think.

 

[DJ]

I really hope the Nets don't get Ayton.

 

[Shanemansj13]

I guess that proposed thought of a Brunson-Murray backcourt could happen now. Maybe that's why they traded out of the '22 draft so they could gather future picks and eventually pay Brunson and Murray $67M combined a year LOL

 

[DJ]

Now it all makes sense what NY is doing....if they get both

They let him walk for NOTHING.

Pretty sure a sign and trade player (Claxton) can't be in a trade with other guys going out.

Gotta pull it off.

2019 they traded Zingers to get 2 max spots.

They landed Randle, Taj Gibson, Portis, Elfrid Payton, Wayne Ellington....

Yeah.....

Barrett and 3-4 1st rounders could do it and it would make sense why they did what they did on draft night.

It's a Magic thing to do....

You win very very rarely. You lose most.
