2022 NBA Offseason thread

Yep a 14-15 ppg Okora would fix that. This year is big for him.

Assuming we keep sexton and Levert while 14-15 ppg would be great from Okoro I don't think it's necessary.

Agreed. But if he can fill that 3 and D role that Shane is seeking that would be a boon. Wouldn’t require swapping out other assets if he is already on the roster. That’s all I was saying.

 

[dtgold88]

lol...maybe, but I am constantly reminded how much I dislike LeBron personally when he opens his mouth.

Garland, Mobley, Allen, the new kid, Markkanen, Okoro, Rubio and 50M+ in cap room is not a bad place to start.

all though- I dont want to give up on Okoro. If they let Love, LeVert, Sexton, go and trade Osman- that gets them to over 50M in cap. Trading Osman next summer on an expiring deal should be no problem.

of course- Love has been pretty good and has a unique skill set- he isnt getting 30M anymore- but Id think about resigning him if he wants to stay. He loves playing with Rubio and the guys too.

If nothing else there are definitely a number of ways to go.....but I'm more inclined to keep sexton or try to package him in a deal for a solid or even stud SF than I would be to hope one would come here in FA.

Because Lakers fans are wacko's?

@trojanfan12 @ChiefsLakers67 @shopson67 @Retroram52

I didn't really mean that.

But if they greatly improve this summer I'll be disappointed.

His upside hasn't been realized largely because he has been pushed into roles that don't develop his strengths. Putting him on the floor with Russ and other ball dominant players and expecting him to be a spot up shooter is just wasting time. He has the physical tools to become a plus defender and has shown at times his upside offensively when allowed to create shots for himself and others.

According to Pelinka, AD has completely bought in and has been working on his body all off season in an attempt to be stronger and less injury prone. Apparently he is also working with ''Lethal Shooter'' who is supposed to be one of the top shooting coaches in the world.

While this is good news for Lakers fans, we still need to see if the focus on his body is going to be a case of ''too little, too late''.

...and hopefully that focus on his body isn't adding bulk. Lean and mean, not bulky and slow.

 

[shopson67]

Why are Lakers fans the only people who see any value in THT? Y'all should be lucky to get a broken office chair for him.

Sarcasm detector broken apparently?

 

[shopson67]

The point still stands that the only people who put any value in THT are Lakers fans and the Lakers. Everyone else knows he belongs on Shanghai Sharks.

Anonymous Western Conference coach says Talen Horton-Tucker has trade value around league

A change of pace from most reports surrounding Talen Horton-Tucker and Kendrick Nunn saw a Western Conference coach and Eastern Conference executive talk about the value the pair have on the market.

I might be confused but how is this a homer trade by a Cavs' fan when I don't think the cavs would make the deal?

I didn't mean the term homer but I have seen plenty of homers as well. That guy was just an idiot

 

[Shanemansj13]

 

[thunderc]

Has Utah authorized him to seek a trade?

 

[shopson67]

I understand his value, but I would really rather not have guys I hate on the roster lol.

You have no idea what Browns fans are dealing with lol

 

[Shanemansj13]

Like I said, I think the Knicks think this kid is untouchable

You have no idea what Browns fans are dealing with lol

I sum up being a Browns fan with one blues song by RL Burnside- it's bad you know.

 

[The Q]

There you go

Tht and nunn deal lol

 

[Wamu]

Like I said, I think the Knicks think this kid is untouchable

I feel sorry for Knicks fans. Because as long as Dolan's running things there will always be some level of dysfunction with the team.

FYI, when I suggested THT for Giannis...that was also a joke.

Awesome news.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Wanna swap defense first guys who haven’t developed that offensive game and yet and likely need a change of scenery?
Okoro for Thybulle?

You guys added some nice pieces in FA, why get rid of him now? He's a super good defensive player.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Like I said, you can't include Barnes if you are Toronto

Sure, Toronto can and should. You don't let Barnes get in the way of landing KD.

It would be like landing Leonard damn near all over again.
