2022 NBA Offseason thread

[ChrisperJ10]

Ooh, the battle of fake money !

 

[msgkings322]

Just because we are cool doesn't mean we can't disagree.

You say some dumb shit that's hard to pass by sometimes.

So do I.

Its not personal

One of you does that way more than the other...I'll let you two figure it out

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I didn't see where DJ said he and his agent already said he's staying. That definitely hasn't happened.

All that I've seen DJ say is that he said he'd be willing to take less to stay. Which he did. However, he didn't say how much less. Could be $1.00 for all we know. lol

Uh, you may want to go back and read a bit. People were not saying "He should take it despite his desire to stay a Laker". They said he would take it and borderline mocked Lakers fans for saying he might not based on his own words.

He's definitely not staying "no matter what anyone else offers". For one thing, we don't even know if the Lakers will offer him their TPMLE...they may have someone they think is better that they are thinking of offering it to. If they do offer it to him, I think there is a decent chance he stays if the best offer is $10 million or less.

But if it's more...I'd track him down and smack him myself if he turned it down. lol

Yeah, your man has bet everyone in the thread that he won't leave even if he's offered a multi-year deal.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Lot of people talking shit about him signing elsewhere for more cash.

Who wants to bet? 2k says he stays with the Lakers.

You have 76k.

Care to bet?

That a no? Ok, I see you got your 100k....

8k? 10k?

@trojanfan12 get your Man's before he has to file for Vcash bankruptcy... Lol

 

[trojanfan12]

Yeah, your man has bet everyone in the thread that he won't leave even if he's offered a multi-year deal.

I mean, I could see that depending on how much per year we're talking about.

If he's offered say...4 years at $7 million per...I would feel fairly confident that he stays.

4 years at $10 million per...I'd say decent chance if he has a wink wink nod nod agreement with the Lakers to sign him for 4 years going into 2023. I wouldn't be nearly as confident though because, as we have seen a few times...a lot can happen over the course of a season and that's putting an awful lot of trust into the organization. I love my Lakers and believe they would do right by him if he did.

But if we are talking about my money...I'm not sure I even trust my wife that much. lol

So, outside of this site, and reading quotes from Monk, I have not looked at a single thing on the internet today.

I didn't turn My TV today until the game was at halftime.

Imagine my surprise when I saw 19 kids got murdered at a elementary school, while I've been arguing for hours about someone else's fucking money.

This is such a cruel world.

Yeah, I mentioned in another thread that one of the daughters has talked about home schooling her kids and I've always been against it because I think it's important for socialization.

But this kind of stuff has me questioning that. I don't remember ever giving any thought that I might drop them off at school and never see them alive again. Especially in elementary school.

I'm sick over it. I can't imagine the pain those parents are feeling

It's terrifying.

But, nowhere is safe.

School, Super Market, Church, Vegas Concerts, Movie Theaters, Clubs, your front fucking lawn...

Shit, not even sleeping safely in your bed.

I know everyone will use this as a rallying cry for gun control and I totally understand why.

I'm not going to get political...

But, the kinda shitbirds that commit such atrocities don't strike me as the type that would let the fact that it would be illegal to possess such weapons stop them from acquiring them.

I mean, they didn't blink at the mass murder of innocents.

I'm so tired of all this.

The crime...

The politics..

Everything.

Thank GAWD for Disney plus, HBO Max and Netflix.

I'm avoiding it all for the night.

Asta manana.

Be safe.

This would be fucking awesome, Seattle especially.

Now the fun part...gotta realign to either 2 divisions of 8 or 4 of 4.

 

[msgkings322]

4 x 4

West: Pacific

LA, LA, Golden State, Sacramento

West: Northwest

Seattle, Portland, Utah, Denver

West: Central

Las Vegas, OKC, Phoenix, Minnesota (weirdest)

West: Gulf Coast

San Antonio, Dallas, Houston, New Orleans

East: Northeast

Boston, NY, Brooklyn, Philadelphia

East: Midwest

Chicago, Detroit, Toronto, Milwaukee

East: Central?

Indiana, Cleveland, Memphis, Washington

East: Southeast

Miami, Orlando, Atlanta, Charlotte

 

[msgkings322]

8 x 8

Pacific

LA, LA, Sacramento, Golden State, Seattle, Portland, Las Vegas, Phoenix

West Central

Utah, Denver, Minnesota, Houston, New Orleans, Dallas, San Antonio, OKC

Atlantic

NY, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Boston, Washington, Miami, Orlando, Charlotte

East Central

Memphis, Chicago, Indiana, Detroit, Milwaukee, Toronto, Cleveland, Atlanta

 

[wildturkey]

I'm confused. They are gonna wait until after the deal expires in 2024 to announce the teams? Why not announce it now?

 

[Mebert]

8 x 8

Pacific

LA, LA, Sacramento, Golden State, Seattle, Portland, Las Vegas, Phoenix

West Central

Utah, Denver, Minnesota, Houston, New Orleans, Dallas, San Antonio, OKC

Atlantic

NY, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Boston, Washington, Miami, Orlando, Charlotte

East Central

Memphis, Chicago, Indiana, Detroit, Milwaukee, Toronto, Cleveland, Atlanta

I have to imagine Minnesota would be East if both expansion teams are west.

I suppose Memphis has a better case for it.

I prefer 8x8 since divisions doesn't mean shit anyway or just go the conference route and get rid of divisions

 

[bksballer89]

Does this means teams would have to sacrifice 2 players in the expanision draft?

Indeed, it's farther East than Minneapolis or New Orleans. Perfect fit.
