2023 offseason thread

Where is the outrage?

It's old news with Harden anymore; it's expected. The outrage will be coming from Clippers and Sixers fans over the contents of whatever becomes the deal.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Oh, and we're supposed to get unique uniforms for these games. I anticipate some pain inducing designs...

I mean, that was kinda expected. Just another excuse to make money

 

[Shanemansj13]

They would accept trent but not Herro? Lol got it

Well they get Scottie Barnes

 

[fightinfunbags]

Where is the outrage?

None here. I want him gone.

Scottie Barnes is the best guy in the deal though. That’s different than a deal where Herro is the best piece in the deal.

And they get $33M of expiring contracts too

Yeah I can see why Portland might do it....but not Toronto.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Yeah I can see why Portland might do it....but not Toronto.

Would be funny though:
Dame: Send me to Miami
Portland: Best I can do is Canada and 65% tax rate

Portland is asking for 4 firsts. One future first and a swap isn't going to do it.

Use that to sell him on San Antonio and no income tax in Texas lol.

 

[shopson67]

I think they have two they can trade and if they remove protections on another pick they would be able to deal another.

Actually, I went back and looked, still think this only allows for 2 (just starting a year sooner in 2027 instead of 2028. 2030 is the last available pick currently.

 

[trojanfan12]

Where is the outrage?

I mean, it's the Clippers.

Who's going to care besides @Mecca and Billy Crystal?

 

[thunderc]

Yes, he actually said “lucky for us” that he isn’t retiring lol

LeBron James confirms he will return for 21st NBA season after considering retirement: 'That day is not today'

true.....Unless they are really high on Barnes.

 

[dtgold88]

lmao that simply shouldn’t be said, what a fn ego

You don't feel lucky?

 

[thunderc]

You don't feel lucky?

Lmao no, I’ll be just fine either way just like I would no matter who it was. The proper thing to say would have been “I feel very lucky to be able to play in front of you guys for another year”. That’s called relating on a human level, never been a huge strength for him though.
