2023 offseason thread

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I feel really uncomfortable now stepping out on value. I don’t think FVV is worth what he got. I’ve seen dude in playoffs w/o Kawhi and I don’t think he can be a first or second option for a winner. I think he can stat stuff on a bad to mediocre team in that role. Or I don’t know value anymore.

Preach…lol

I love Halliburton and like Jaylen Brown a ton.

But, ffs…..lol

We are in the upside down.

 

[The Q]

Don't need to add as Allen already signed. Or are you saying wont be able to max the others?

Seems like will be different tax issues they didn't have then.

It will be more roster construction

It will be those 4, young guys and ring chasers

 

[dtgold88]

Damn. Might not look bad at that time. Mitchell will also be 30 at that time. A long time away but Mobley will also be on his first big contract as well.
Projected cap is $156M
Garland $42M
Mobley $35M
Mitchell $63M

Those 3 guys taking up $140M of $156M. They better be fighting for a championship to justify that

Guess if nothing else if he signed a 1 plus 1 at least would guarantee we have him 3 more seasons if we want. Maybe even 4 as not sure if the 1 plus 1 comes after he picks up his player option after 24-25 season (and too lazy to look).

I don’t think he’s supposed to be

He’s the…

We think we’re better than last year cause we had zero pg play, absurd cap space, and can’t tank for the guy we need cause we made an impossibly stupid trade 5 years ago

…guy

Cap could be higher.

But, yeah….

That could get painful as @The Q said.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Yes. But that still means the rules are hurting CLE…

Absolutely.

 

[DJ Fieri]

The season is going to be very interesting to say the least.

They would have to get creative...really creative.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Cap could be higher.

Yeah but that is for any contending roster, the key will be contending. If they aren’t…well the plan is not working

I think we could see KPJ moved.

60 mil at the pg position for a fringe plain team is absurd.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

They would have to get creative...really creative.

Levert, Struss and Niang are on movable deals.

All 15 mil and under.

They have some flexibility.

I think it will be fun.

Lots of parity.

Lots of questions.

I mean, I don’t have them top 4 in the East.

But, we still don’t know what the Heat or 6ers will look like.

So, having the Cavs finishing 5th or higher isn’t a hot take.

I think you are a elite wing away from being as good as everyone else.

It’s the experience and big balls Jimmy factor that would have me still lean towards teams like the Celtics, Heat and Bucks.

Everyone else?

Seriously, what if Toronto or the Clippers decide to finally pick a lane and blow shit up?

Dunno what your picks look like.

But, you have the deals to match salary on guys like Siakam, OG, PG.

Wade, too, and I guess maybe Rubio again if he can get his life to the point he can play (which is obviously most important).

I wouldn't say not being top 4 is out there at all.....but we were top 4 without the shooters/bench we added so no reason for me to think we wont be 4th or higher. Like it does for most, health will be a huge factor. But it's what we do in playoffs next time that will matter.

@dtgold88 @Shanemansj13 @WiggyRuss

If push came to shove, I would deal him to the Nets.

Cam Johnson, DFS and picks?

I would do it IF he says he was bolting.

 

[thunderc]

I know most teams do stuff like this but this one seems extremely cool to me as it is a joint effort with Police departments across the State

Neighborhood Basketball Court Revamped By OKC Thunder The First Of Many Under New Project

The Oklahoma City Thunder unveiled a revamped community basketball court on Saturday, the first of thirty that the organization has pledged to fix across the state in partnership with the Oklahoma City Police Department and OG&E.
