2023 offseason thread

[DJ]

What about Simons and Sharpe. Who is playing the 3 out of all these guys? How many of these guys can thrive off ball? Someone has to go

Same with Charlotte.

Melo, Miller, Smith and Rozier. Rozier probably headed out of town.

 

[tlance]

It'll be interesting some of the reactions here if he does leave. I love the guy and to me that means no more titles on this run. But many here have said he sucks, so I guess they will say the Ws won't miss him? The real interesting ones will be the actual Warrior fans who don't like him like @Robotech . Will he be pleased?

@tlance if Dray does leave, unless the Ws sign or trade for a replacement that probably puts Kuminga in the starting lineup.

I will believe it when I see it.

Thinking Kerr still finds an excuse to give him a bit role when it matters most.

 

[DJ]

Vogel really likes him. But they're gonna be in a very tough bind filling out depth by not using him in a trade to turn him into 2 or 3 rotation players.

Bunch of quality vet minimum guys chasing a ring.

 

[DJ]

So @Mecca thoughts on the guy the Thunder moved up for? Don’t know much about him but sounds like next to Wemby he is thought of as the best perimeter defender in the draft. Presti is stacking up guys like that. The Bertans contract honestly doesn’t bother me since it’s only 2 years left and we have cap space.

Make some trades later in the summer, too many players.

 

[DJ]

I think its likely Poole was dealt to open up contract space for Draymond. Even if in the short term its not tangible, it is for next year. I think you have to keep the team together.

I think that Draymond becomes more volatile outside of GS.

I would love him on the Cavs since they NEED someone that has some toughness and attitude even if his skills are not what they once were.

@msgkings322 you see this?

This clown was ripping him like a year ago.....

JJ Redick brought up a great point on the Washington rebuild with getting just 1 1st rounder for 3 guys.

Beal had a NTC.

Porzy had an option year that he took almost up to the deadline.

CP is past his prime and he is the player they got a 1st rounder for.

They did get Poole who could lead the League in scoring.

Odd way to do a rebuild but a lot of factors why.

 

[DJ]

That doll is evil I tell ya evil

thats what you said about all your birthday presents Grandpa

I just want attention

DJ = Grandpa Simpson

1-My birthday is not till November.

2-At this stage in my life it is what is. Living the dream actually.....went to the US Virgin Islands last year and headed to the Bahamas on a cruise in September.

3-Try finding a woman and settling down......or not. Keep making all that "lawyer money." I am sure it will keep you warm in your casket.

 

[DJ]

Lakers better than the Cavs.

Heck, even the Knicks are better than the Knicks.

LOL.

That is the problem though.

They chose to start the rebuild 4 years too late.

This is what happens when you wait too long.

Take notes Clippers!

The Clipps have to run it back for 1 more year though.

Moving into a huge new arena. Tough to sell tickets with no stars and a young rebuilding team. Especially in Los Angeles when you are the Clipps and there is so much other stuff to do.

This is precisely how teams get trapped into holding on for too long.

I don’t think fans are rushing to watch Kawhi and PG in street clothes.

Dude...talk about a hawt take.

No way the Knicks are better than the Knicks.

Meant the Cavs obviously.

 

[The Q]

Here’s the most interesting Sixer shit to come out of last night… a leaked board on social media. So James Harden is the 3? Ohhhhh that will work!

I mean how much did you run that lineup out there last year?

I would like it as it helps the Celtics draft pick chances

Although Paul is good insurance for the real risk

 

[The Q]

Lowe post chimed in on this topic today.

Here is how I see the situation….

Kawhi and PG are extension eligible.

Clippers don’t want to give either a full 4 year max, they want a 2 + 1 or some salary protections.

If either/both agree, super.

If not, deuces.

But, the Knicks rumor was cap.

They called the Clippers and the Clippers said no.

Ballmer just built that Arena.

Can’t open it up with a shit roster.

They have zero control of their picks.

So, I don’t see a full scale tear down.

That’s why they turned down Portland.

I still think they should’ve ponied up 30 for Paul

I like Kobe, but he’s not worth blowing up that deal considering the clippers current situation

 

[The Q]

Lmfao part 2.

If they were gonna do it, it needed to be no. 18 will be the best pick they can get until 2028

 

[Mebert]

I want to point out that in this board we have disagreement across the vCard on just about everything you can in basketball. There is only 1 thing we all agree on.......Timberwolves are a trash franchise. We truly are the great unifier,

 

[The Q]

Same with Charlotte.

Melo, Miller, Smith and Rozier. Rozier probably headed out of town.

Lakers have guys to deal….

Yeah, while okc wins pg13 for scoot.

Scoot sells tickets

Plus you’re getting mid players who will…actually be on the court.

They can at least still be an 8 seed and not be a total embarrassment
