2023 offseason thread

Eh. Not really.

He is the guard version of DeMarcus Cousins.

Thinks he is better than he is at this point in his career. And he is a negative in the locker room.

Contenders don’t want the drama. Rebuilders don’t either.

I must be behind on this one. What has made Wall a negative in the locker room?

 

[Shanemansj13]

Making a starting 5 of players still available for fun....not that this team would compete with a lot of teams.

PG-Wall
SG-Nowell
SF-Oubre
PF-Wood
C-Cousins

Yeah that team sucks. Cousins and Wall are washed

Disagree on kawhi

He’s not overrated

He’s just fragile

I agree and dont think DeRozan should be there as well

 

[thunderc]

Haven’t seen this worded exactly like it is here, that Lillard would honor his contract regardless of where he was traded.

NBA tells teams Damian Lillard would honor contract in any trade | NBA.com

The NBA also warned that Lillard would be disciplined if he or his agent make additional comments suggesting he won't honor his contract.

He is a bust. His definition of what a bust is my issue

He's a bust based on what? As a draftee or because of a trade....or both?

I guess fair to call him overrated if you cannot count on him.

He's not good at basketball

Unreliable

Healthy he’s a top 10 player

 

[dtgold88]

Have to say did not know he was a top 10 pick. OK, bust.

Don’t forget also he has to want to play. Lots of healthy nights he doesn’t play.

Not sure what happened to him. One year Arizona player that shot 50/37/75 as a defensive minded SF with good length. Just didn't translate for whatever reason.

My thoughts as well

Shaq, Kobe, and Duncan are missing as well

He is a bit of diva.

The real problem is that he thinks he is still a star, and he isn’t.

 

[tlance]

For the vet minimum it's a bargain and if he acted up? Simple, release him.

What is the upside?

He is washed.

Game built on athleticism and he isn’t explosive anymore.

If he was a vet leader he would have a spot for sure, but he isn’t.

Not sure how that impacts a locker room though. If a dude being a diva impacts your locker room, that locker room is soft AF.

Right.

But character matters more for guys on the fringe.

You aren’t going to add a guy if you are at all concerned about his influence in the locker room if he is just a fringe rotation guy.

No Bird either
