2022 NBA Offseason thread

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

The Nets only have leverage if they are willing to keep an unhappy Kyrie to the trade deadline or end of year. No other takers have come forth and he intends to get to the Lakers next summer if not now.

That is what they are insinuating.

They aren't giving Kyrie away for free.

Kyrie has very little value right now.

But, he still has more than Westbrook.

The very obvious thing that's not being mentioned....

Are the Lakers willing to bring a humiliated Westbrook back to start the season?

Kyrie might be a moron.

But, he isn't a albatross on the court like Westbrook.

I don’t think it is possible to have too many wings in the modern NBA

Kawhi, PG, Morris, Batum, Covington, Mann, Powell, Boston Jr. , Kennard, Coffey.

Yeah, this tracks.

I guess 2022 firsts and they didnt want 4 two consecutive drafts?

I mean they certainly could’ve moved up. But frankly I’m not sure they wouldn’t have ended up with the same 3 guys. But def need to get a first now

But you have JRich and McDermott taking up minutes for all those young wings. I'm sure they want to unload those two, at least from my perspective

Huh?

Siri is a word I can’t post here lol

Sixers tried again during free agency.

The Gobert and Dejounte trades made teams greedy.

They think they can get more...

Or, at least they hope.


Sources told The Athletic Philadelphia re-engaged with Houston at the beginning of free agency regarding the former Sixth Man of the Year. The Rockets are not desperate to offload Gordon, certainly not as desperate as some contenders are to obtain him in what looks like a standard championship-hopeful rental. Given the ho-hum nature of this summer’s free-agent dealings, there’s a possibility that a team that strikes out in free agency circles back with an improved offer for Gordon. Houston may re-evaluate offers around the upcoming trade deadline, but assuming no team presents an offer deemed acceptable before then, the Rockets are more than pleased to have him on the roster heading into camp and the regular season.

That's what I mean...bro...KAT and Ant is a huge package by themselves. AND you want 4 first rounders?

Lol gtfo

Idiots

Gordon isn’t worth a first

Houston won't back down. Last deadline they wanted 2 1st's. Ridiculous

I'm telling you, the Nets are going to ask for the moon because I think their real plan is to talk KD into wanting to stay. But they'll ask for ridiculous packages like this just in case some team is dumb enough to bite (and the Twolves aren't a bad one to ask LOL)

 

[Shanemansj13]

Even then would KD want to play with DLo and Gobert or just DLo and Pat Bev LOL

I wouldn't even counter after that offer.

I'm thinking more and more KD stays

I don't blame them. They could just fuck around bc they don't want him to leave. Trade Kyrie and build around KD and pieces...not a bad plan

yep, I posted my thoughts after hearing Howard Beck talk about it. KD is a hoops junkie, he won't sit out if they work with him and show they are still committed to building. Kobe asked for a trade too but the Lakers got him to stay and got Gasol and won 2 rings.
