2022 NBA Offseason thread

When Brunson leaves, all they have to do to keep Luka happy is sign Dragic.

The Dragon should’ve came home last season…

 

[ChrisperJ10]

Nunn can replace what Monk gave us. Excited about what Nunn can do.

Errrrrrr…

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Randle to the Suns!!

I said Mitchell or Turner!!!!

But.....

 

[DJ Fieri]

Errrrrrr…

So you've never seen him play. Got it.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I was never a big Chris Paul fan, now I’ve had to tolerate him.

Same when he was a Clipper.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Same when he was a Clipper.

Really?

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I’m fine with ayton

His problem is there’s no real threat for him to get signed without a trade

Yeah, is the rule....

The Suns can only take back Half of his outgoing salary?

Wouldn't it be easier to just trade him on his qualifying offer?

That should be enough to absorb Capella or Turner, no?

 

[fightinfunbags]

Harden actually taking less than what he could shows he wants them to make improvements so they can be a serious contender.

Or he wants the longer deal with more guaranteed cash now because he knows he is not the same player. I think it's the first one. Think he comes back from that hammy in better shape and is at least 90% of the old Harden.

I think he may be motivated by both things. He knows this is his last chance to get a ring unless he hangs on and rides someone else’s coattails.

Yeah. But he has to sign the QO

And that’s a huge risk. Since his extend and trend wouldn’t be the same as his fa salary options

Didn't we have a bet Monk wouldn't take the TPMLE?

 

[fightinfunbags]

I saw that strip club James has opted out.

Does that mean his pal Morey will give him the biggest extension possible?

Word on the street is that it will be a 3/4 year deal that kicks in this year and it will be in the 33-37 million per year range.

 

[ChrisperJ10]

So you've never seen him play. Got it.

Yeah, but I’ve honestly forgot because he hasn’t played meaningful ball in close to two YEARS.

He’ll definitely fill that Monk role though. Good luck.

What was the per year max he was eligible for?

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Really?

That I disliked CP3?

Absolutely.

@trojanfan12 , @ChiefsLakers67 and I have had many conversations on having to compartmentalize rooting for your team despite not necessarily liking some of the members.

Not sure if you know this or not, Chief isn't Lebron's biggest fan.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Agree.

Most of us have been saying for MONTHS that his tune would change.

But, in fairness....

Yall were gonna give his only avenue to get paid to Kyrie.

He said paycut, not vet minimum.

Not sure how people can follow sports this long and not attune themselves to coach speak and player speak. Is it shocking to anyone that a player under contract without the next gig solidified yet would talk up staying and wanting to be part of the team? That’s public relations 101. Never listen to what they say. Watch what they do. Everybody knew this and we all told Lakers fans what the score was. He took the vet minimum to rehabilitate his ability to command a salary. He did that. Now it’s time to go get that money.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Yeah, but I’ve honestly forgot because he hasn’t played meaningful ball in close to two YEARS.

He's ready to go for next season and 26.

Thanks.

 

[fightinfunbags]

What was the per year max he was eligible for?

Close to 50 million per year.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Absolutely.

I misremembered. thought you loved the CP/BG era.

I know about CL.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Close to 50 million per year.

You guys can make moves.

Melton was good. I'd pass on Tucker (37 and wants 3 years) and try and get Portis.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

So you've never seen him play. Got it.

Wrap your mind around the fact that even Kawhi has played since the last time Nunn was on the court.
