2022 NBA Offseason thread

What a weird flex but ok

False alarm I guess

Fuck you. We're good.

Bryant and Jones. AD playing PF and James slides back to SF.

Still need the really big shoe to drop.

Softens the blow that they didn't claim Roby a bit.

 

[msgkings322]

you wont love it next offseason i can tell ya that. lol.

Thus guaranteeing the opposite will occur. lol.

Trade a couple players for Clase.

Fuck you.

Clase just signed a 5 year 20 million dollar extension.

Guardians should have one of the best closers in the game for a very inexpensive contract--- that takes him through his arbitration years and buys out a year or two of free agency.

Phenomenal deal.

 

[DJ Fieri]

I can definitively tell you- that the Lakers are not even playing in the same ball park salary wise anymore.

They are gnashing their teeth over the possiblity of taking Joe Harris- who makes 18 million a year for 2 years over Curry's 8 million expiring. They let Caruso go, etc.

the Lakers are not in the same financial ball park as the Clippers or Warriors anymore- they simply wont spend at the Clippers level- let alone the Warriors level.

Made almost 9 mill and played in just 41 games last season. If he's a Laker he doesn't get hurt......really?

Draymond has a 27M player option too.

I have no idea where that will go....my guess he opts out and tries to get something longer term for around the same dollars. 25M just does not go as far as it used to in the NBA anymore. lol.

Confirmed.

The Dodgers trade a couple AA and a AAA player for Clase.

my point is you are not playing in the same ball park salary wise as the Clippers or Warriors anymore and there is plenty of data and evidence to back that up. And again - what did you KNOW he was going to get hurt when you let him go?

they were like---hmmmm....we know he is going to get cheap shotted and miss 41 games- so - no dice! LOL. cmon Dj.

Yeah and nothing else till IT HAPPENS.

lol there is a better chance the Raiders are the next NFL Dynasty.

 

[wildturkey]

Thomas Bryant to sign a one year deal with the Lakers per Chris Haynes

Late night BOMBSHELL


For real though, for the min, this is a nice pick up. I liked him the first time around and was pissed they didn't keep him around. He's shown some decent development in Washington the times he wasn't injured. He's capable of being a solid rotational center

Find a sense of humor, Waldo.

 

[WiggyRuss]

If I was the Lakers I would DEFINITELY have spent the little money they had on TJ Warren over Johhny Walker Red.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Jacoby Brissett as your starting QB......for not just 6-8 games but the entire season.

 

[DJ Fieri]

He has played 4 games in 2 seasons.

No wonder you're not an NBA GM.

def. better than anyone they had last year....but def. doesnt move the needle.

Kyrie moves the needle.

Plus- I think Kyrie is due a slice of humble pie. Just going back to ride LeBron's jock after purposefully getting away from him is a huge blow to his ego. I think he would be in the right mindset- he is in a contract and would be motivated and on his best behavior.

LeBron/Kyrie/Davis can win a championship if they are healthy and on the same page and Durant doesnt end up on the Suns or Warriors.

now- obviously a big "if"- Davis, LeBron and Kyrie all healthy and on the same page.....chances all 3 are healthy and sane seem long- but its by far the best shot they got- and its a real shot- not pie in the sky.

anything less than Kyrie- and I dont think a LeBron/Davis tandem with the supporting roster they have can come close to getting it done.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Jacoby Brissett as your starting QB......for not just 6-8 games but the entire season.

wanna bet? I bet the suspension is between 6 on the lowside and 10 on the high side.

Browns schedule to start the year is incredibly easy.

Plus- going forward they have Watson free and clear- the guy is only 26 YEARS OLD. Carr is already 31.

take the 8 game hit and then have one of the best in the league with a very good roster for years to come. Sounds like a plan to me.

 

[WiggyRuss]

He has played 4 games in 2 seasons.

No wonder you're not an NBA GM.

we shall see who has a better season. Ill book mark the post for ya. lol.

 

[bksballer89]

Scrolling twitter and found this tweet. Exactly the point i been making with chet

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

He has played 4 games in 2 seasons.

No wonder you're not an NBA GM.

Thomas Bryant has played 170 games in 5 years.

37 in two years.

He's played 50 games or more once in his career.

Great pickup for the minimum.

But, he's not exactly an ironman.
