2022 NBA Offseason thread

[DJ Fieri]

I'm almost more excited about the possibility of getting Pat Bev than anyone else.. Love that dude. lol

Would absolutely love him on the Lakers. Every team needs a guy like him.

With Woj's report posted earlier, Woj corroborated what the Icon stated about a week ago. Jerry West already stated that he seriously doubted the Lakers would sign Irving for several reasons and in the same interview indicated that KD would not be going anywhere anytime soon because no single team has the sufficient assets to satisfy Brooklyn. It is just that simple.

Schroder struck out when he turned down the Lakers offer....SMH.

Yeah that would be a tough thing to get over

Not crying for him....he is worth 40 million big ones.

Like I said a few days ago. This whole KD/Kyrie affair is an exercise in Hollowood-style Histrionics that feeds whatever amongst the participants during the off-season summer months.

Yeah, @DJ posted this earlier.

The key point of this article is that it actually debunks the rumor it's promoting.

This is the last line of the article.


But this theory mostly sounds like more overly conspiratorial thinking by NBA insiders.

 

[Retroram52]

Likewise, the other half of this drama is confirming what many folks are now accepting and of course the Icon has already stated.

Kyrie Irving ‘accepting the fact’ he’ll likely stay with the Nets

Is Kyrie Irving coming to terms with the prospect of remaining with the Brooklyn Nets?

[msgkings322]

People were saying they could get an epic haul for KD and now they can't find a decent to good one?

C'mon.

People say a lot of things. Then reality happens.

 

[Retroram52]

Since Westbrook/James/AD had a commitment conference call recently (if there is any truth to it), everyone in-the-know is moving on with the realization that Westbrook will, in all likelihood, finish his contract with the Lakers. The earliest anything MAY occur would be the trade deadline. If the Lakers ad Bev or someone else and move Westbrook, that is probably a new development. Otherwise, just a lot of noise about nothing.

Report: Lakers’ Westbrook, LeBron, Davis talk on phone, vow to “make it work”

The Lakers are still looking to make a bold offseason move.

Working under the premise that Westbrook goes to Utah, you'd get more than Pat Bev.

I'd pass on Conley and attempt to get Bogdanovic 18 ppg, 4rpg, 2 dimes shooting 39% from 3 and Pat Bev.

Would you give up both picks for this deal?

Because, you know Ainge will try to extort you?

Also, you don't have enough roster spots.

That would need to be addressed.

 

[Retroram52]

The future Number Ones, Mecca, would be the sticking point. Maybe Rob Lowe could convince Ainge to take a Second Rounder or two.

Serge Ibaka agreed to one-year minimum deal to re-sign for Bucks

Serge Ibaka signed a fully guaranteed one-year, $2.91M contract with the Milwaukee Bucks.Source: Alberto De Roa @ HoopsHype What’s the buzz on Twitter? Eric Nehm @eric_nehm The Bucks have mad…

For the minimum?

Good for the Bucks.

Not a bad emergency big.

He's fine as long as he's only playing sporadically.

 

[The Q]

Again, it costs at least one first just to eat that disastrous Russ contract…and even that is a bit light

Anything else is payment for the invoking talent talent

Ainge?

The Dude that got four future first rounders and the Wolves #19 pick Kessler, so essentially 5 first rounders for Gobert?

....and is demanding 7 picks for Mitchell?

If Rob pulled that off, he'd deserve executive of the year.

 

[DJ Fieri]

So Kevin Heurter is one of the best 3 and D guys in the NBA?

K

LOL.

If Pelinka sticks to that....we are stuck with RW. Ainge is a fucking thief when it comes to trades

@thunderc

I know you need a vet and usually don't want a roster full of children.

But, the Thunder don't have any knuckleheads.

So, Favors is the name that jumps out to be moved.

Who else?

Muscala?

It’s just a matter of time until they pull the plug on Pokusevski, he is just not developing. I still say he should have been left in Europe for a couple years but that is likely where his next contract will be. Long term I expect Robinson Earle to eventually push Bazley out of the mix. I expect Dieng to play in the G league this season. I would be surprised if the Thunder let Favors go, he is fairly cheap. Both he and Muscala are pieces that can help a contendor though.

A dream come true for LA but I would give up 2 1st's for those Lakers without a doubt.
