2023 offseason thread

[DJ Fieri]

He's not even on Spotrac's FA centers list. He's a forgotten man in the NBA.

Somebody will pick him up before he would ever think about signing with the Lakers.

 

[Wamu]

Yeah, I listened to the podcast.

What Bucher said made a lot of sense.

Zion can’t depend on his hops.

Ric Bucher on Zion Williamson: Where are the floaters, up and under layups, his pull up jumpers at the elbow? Now from what I’ve been told, he’s shown no interest in developing any of those tricks. Tricks that Blake Griffin learned along with a decent three-point shot when the injuries started to pile up for him, and allowed him to single-handedly drag the Detroit Pistons to a playoff berth. It may not seem as impressive as what he did with the Clippers in his heyday, but to me, what he did with Detroit was a true reflection of how he learned to play the game when he no longer had that freakish athleticism.

Simply hilarious.

Why should Zion work on improving his game when he's already been paid?

It would be interesting to see him & Simmons on the same team.

Both are goofballs.

You know I gotta say after watching some of Chris Paul's interviews about joining the Warriors...

I still hate the guy.

Just my opinion but I believe anyone who did not already have a stud SF would take Lebron. They may also take him.

Yeah, that's where the needs of the team with the pick comes in. You need an SF, it's Lebron. You need a C or PF, you're taking Wemby. Although a team that needs a PF may choose Lebron as well because of his build.

Far different build when he entered the league. It took him a few years to be able to lock down the 4.

True, but even at that, you could see that he could easily add the additional bulk he'd need rather easily.

 

[fightinfunbags]

How about Oubre?

Not sure he can be had for 5 million but he would give them bench scoring for sure.

Yeah...to just say Wemby is not fair.

Depends on what you already have as far as a roster.

 

[CitySushi]

Same

Also the first year the NBA institutes an anti-flopping rule, it's the same year the Warriors get CP3.

This league is clearly out to sabotage the Warriors at all costs.

You weren't referring to a defensive wing....I thought you were.

 

[DJ Fieri]

At this point Oubre is most likely looking at vet minimum.

 

[fightinfunbags]

You weren't referring to a defensive wing....I thought you were.

I do prefer a 2 way player and I would prioritize defense personally but the fact remains that the Sixers also lack bench scoring.

 

[CitySushi]

After being recently burned with taking a team need instead of BPA, I'm solely in the BPA category from here on out.

He is an easy guy to hate

Pacers are trying to gun for a 1st round and out. What is new @HurricaneDij39

 

[fightinfunbags]

Zion Williamson reportedly has left a floater in the pool. Apparently, he had corn yesterday.

 

[Shanemansj13]

2016 offseason was brutal…especially to the Lakers

In before Cane's best offer is Obi Toppin and a future 2nd round pick.
