2023 offseason thread

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

The only way to truly win the 8 seed is by trading 5 1st round picks for a regular season star.

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

Not much to be honest.

 

[The Q]

I’m actually surprised to read that

They moved Melton into the starting lineup during the Maxey injury and when Maxey came back they tried to use him as a 6 man. Their closing group seemed to always involve Harris/Embiid as 2/3 of the front court. The third guy was usually Tucker. Sometimes it was Thybulle/McDaniel. It was rare that you saw Melton/Harden/Maxey together and if you saw that it was with PJ Tucker at the 4 or 5 and either Embiid or Harris off.

Intersting roster construction that your best defender wasn’t on the floor in the closing lineup post trade deadline

As you saw in the Celtics Sixers series Melton is streaky as a shooter. Was great in Game 1 hitting like 5-6 threes. I don’t think he had 5-6 makes the rest of the series.

Lakers have guys to deal….

Yes, sir. I know. I am all like..........

Would’ve been easier before the draft

But Charlotte doesn’t let itself have nice things lol

 

[DJ Fieri]

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

You and are I among the minority on here.

A lot didn't think CP was good for the LAC.

Paul’s demise is greatly exaggerated

30 is a meh pick anyway

If you’re running it back with kawhi and pg you might as well add some of those crap contracts (Gordon and Morris) to land Paul

He is no longer an elite PG but he still damn good. 14ppg, 9apg, 1.5spg while shooting 44% and 38% last season.

In 23-25mpg off the bench for GS he could average 12ppg and 7apg as their lead with the 2nd unit in 55 or so games. Just needs to be healthy in the playoffs and with fewer mpg that is totally possible.

Bro, would you rather have Mook and Coffee or Poole?

Washington got a better offer.

Who said that?

Pretty sure all I have seen anyone say remotely negative is why add another broken toy or what good does CP3 do for you if Kawhi and George aren’t playing?

Both legitimate takes…imo

I would take the pick and expiring contracts

I’ve always been low man on poole though

GS could also flip him at the deadline.

Better way to rebuild.....

Unless, Washington wants to feature Poole (and he plays well) and then flip him in a year or 2.

Do the Clippers have the MLE or mini MLE?

So jacked for FA and the coming trades.

Because in theory you can have 2/3 available most of the regular season?

Idk.

Kobe brown can’t change your season

CP3 might
