2023 offseason thread

Yeah, I get that he’s kinda capped out. But the limited assets left are also his fault

But picking Gordon over Conley was a bad choice

I’m still not 100% sure which parts of the draconian penalty are this year vs next year but if he has an mle that needs to be a c and then figure out what salaries are going with 30 for one last move

We can’t use the full mle because of the rule change.

We only have the mini to offer Westbrook and vet mins.

* he shouldn’t take that little *

So, we are pretty screwed.

Yeah. I know they’re not putting them all in at once (I believe teams can aggregate salaries this year but it’s dead after that)

But I haven’t seen the list of which ones start each year

Clippers need a borderline wild swing…

I’d throw some of your bench junk around for Ben Simmons

You fix him, and it’s over

You’re wrong…you aren’t missing much anyway and he’s an expiring deal next summer

Fuck no.

Give me RoCo, Batum and Mook all day over Simmons.

Shit, I wouldn’t have traded Westbrook, at his 43 million salary, for Ben Simmons.

It’s not a teams job to fix Simmons.

The Nets need to tell him….

Be a goddamn professional or retire, you Bum.

This is good for some teams, not mine.

teams like the clippers and celtics (and sixers) got screwed by the cap smoothing.

Frankly this is just another wild overreaction to kevin durant, which is unlikely to happen again.

Lmfao

You are 100% correct, My Guy.

I guess it feels weird to no longer be the top targeted minority.

The public persecution pendulum has swung.

Trans, Disney, immigrants, Cops, Nurses, Jewish, Latino, Straight white males, Teachers, Trump, Lebron, Kyrie, Women—————-> Blacks.





I think it’s probably safe for me to become argumentative when Scottsdale PD pulls me over tonight for having to dark a tint on my windows.


* It should be noted I have ZERO tint on my windows….lol

Thank you Desantis, Dudes trying to win in female sports and the Drag Queen Nuns at the Dodger game!!!!

Reminds of a Chris Rock bit from long ago when he thanked the Muslims for taking the heat off black people with 9/11

Why not both?

 

[thunderc]

I don’t think so.

It’s still Lawrence Frank‘s show.

If/When the Clippers underachieve, AGAIN, Frank could get sent packing.

He is insane to run this shitshow back again and deserves to get the boot if he goes through with it.

I agree, embrace the tank

lol

Why? The Lakers have pretty much shut it down for him by saying they aren't interested.

 

[trojanfan12]

They're bringing in Vogel who loves centers and the first thing they look to do is get rid of theirs?

 

[The Q]

They're bringing in Vogel who loves centers and the first thing they look to do is get rid of theirs?

Yeah that would be surprising

I would’ve thought his work with hibbert was a reason he got the job

They let go a great coach too so who knows

He also made Dwight a fairly important piece when the Lakers won the title in 2020.

 

[wildturkey]

I get why they are waiting until after, but I'm like just hurry up and do it. We all know its gonna happen (and should). Don't waste time with it. We all pretty much know what cities it will be too, Seattle and Las Vegas

Yep and move Memphis to the East where it belongs

Don’t know a lot about him, but obviously OKC has been very well managed.

Getting quality people making the decisions is step 1 toward building something good.
