2024 NBA Offseason

[thunderc]

Had to run an errand and was listening to nba radio. It was said that the clippers are still in the lead to keep PG.

Klay or Jonas would be fine but LOL at Harden.

why you might not want to give Lebron the GM keys.

 

[tlance]

No. Not up for debate. They don’t win any with Steph and Dray. Even if KD comes along, the Cavs would beat that team

Not even about the Cavs.

Curry missed the first 2 rounds of the playoffs in 2016. And Klay had that huge 3rd quarter in game 6 against OKC.

They almost surely don’t make it past the 2nd round. They definitely don’t make the Finals in 2016 without Klay.

And if OKC does make the Finals, KD is much less likely to leave. And there is a pretty decent chance they would have beat Cleveland too

Get what you are saying but that's how free agency works. Pretty much everyone who is not elite or older and chasing a ring is overpaid. Not everyone but most. Often by a lot.

Exactly right.

something I appreciate about Albert Belle....just made it pretty clear he wanted the most money and got it.

 

[tlance]

Even if true, which is up for debate, it doesn’t entitle him to anything. He was paid and paid well.

See, I think you see it a bit like I do.

I personally don’t believe anyone is ever entitled to anything. You have to earn everything that you get.

However, I can absolutely understand why Klay feels disrespected by the Dubs because of everything he gave the organization, and yes, his injuries too.

Not unlike Scottie Pippen, he is probably bitter that he isn’t treated the way that Curry is by the organization.

And I get it. Because Curry isn’t Curry without Klay.

due to something in this thread?

Nah he was extra angry one day in the PF, calling a few people faggots and being extra angry elf. He needed this.

 

[dtgold88]

For sure, I like the guy and enjoy a lot of what he posts but he does go REALLY hard sometimes. Lol

I do, too.....never bothered me personally (as nothing does here) but thought a teacher throwing out comments about autism was a little odd.

still curious what he did.

add that to the autistic comments he made a lot....kind of weird for a teacher.

 

[dtgold88]

LOL I will say to Detroit. Goo luck on offense. I hope it works out

should at least be able to continue the streak he started here with his teams improving every season.....cannot see them losing close to 70 again.

This would be a stupid move for Utah

Eh, like many I'm pretty sure how he is here is not how he is in real life. That's a big part of the appeal of this place. But yeah he was too aggro often.

 

[dtgold88]

do wonder what the hold up is if true.....does it benefit us and/or him to wait until FA starts?

 

[tlance]

He really shouldn’t using gay slurs either.

That type of stuff would cost him his career if his employer ever read his posts here.

Oh, for sure can be different than real life.....but would think that might a line a teacher wouldn't cross.

The likelihood of George going to the Sixers, who are prepared to offer a 4-year max deal, are improving. The likelihood Klay ends up with the Lakers is also improving.

[DJ]

PG ain't going to the Jazz....

LOL.

 

[dtgold88]

I think he can bring some culture to the organization and I think overall he is a good leader but on the court, I lost faith in him. I figured Detroit would try to take a shot at a young coach that would implement an offensive strategy. Maybe there wasn’t much out there.

I am curious how many years he got

Not sure I lost faith in the sense a lot of our issues were the injuries. I mean, if you said I can have the coach of my choice and the same roster as last year with same injury issues or JB, same roster, everyone healthy I go with JB. Well, other than maybe Larry Brown and Spo.

But also no issue we are going a different direction. Still think the idea is keep the core 4 together, hope they stay healthy and see how they look healthy and with a different coach (easier than breaking them up first, I think).

Guess we'll see soon.

True DJ. If George goes anywhere, it will be to the Dubs or the Sixers. BTW, KCP is showing some serious interest in the Pacers.
