2024 NBA Offseason

[The Q]

Not sure if he helps them in the offs

But he’s good enough to help them try to get there

 

[Retroram52]

Yep, the double diss already. The W's said no to a S&T with DRuss and then Klay said, nope, going to Dallas. Wow.

Report: Lakers offered Warriors D-Lo for Klay in sign and trade

The Lakers reportedly offered the Warriors D'Angelo Russell in a sign-and-trade deal for free-agent guard Klay Thompson.

Either way

The deal needs empty calorie dollars to work

And dlo is an expiring deal and the lakers don’t have many of those

Bulls need expiring deals

Yeah.

It would most certainly need to be him.

They’ve already done the D Lo dance.

 

[Retroram52]

I wonder if the Clips have any interest in DRuss walking across the hall. Don't know if they can afford him or whether DRuss would fit with the Clips since the Clips are losing Westbrook?

 

[The Q]

They collected him solely to get something rather than lose their best player for nothing….


And ended up getting paid to take a bad deal, get one fluke year out of him…and a ring

Not a bad plan

Russell and harden seems like a bad idea

Unless you’re taking tucker

Just checking with the peeps that are really in-the-know!

Yeah for what they are working with I thought it was a solid signing

Celtics spent $440M yesterday.

Super Max extension ($315M) for Tatum
4/$175M for White
Resigned Kornet and C Neemias Queta and Re-signed G Jrue Holiday to a veteran extension.

9 potential Celtics free agent targets

A breakdown of guards, wings, bigs, and upside swings the Cs could target in free agency.

AND Wyk Grosbeck is selling his share of the Celtics because the upcoming Luxury Tax will be about $500M. He's one of the poorest NBA owners and that tax could bankrupt him. Selling his share for $3-$5B might ease the pain.

Right.

They took him to preserve the salary slot.

Do you expect lightening to strike twice?

The Dubs didn’t take back a player they deemed inferior.

Instead, they sent him somewhere that didn’t require them to eat a shitty contract for a couple of 2nd rounders.

Had they had the ability to do that with George, he’d be a Dub right now.

But PG wanted his bread.

So no discount which would be nearly impossible to fit into a trade exception.

Harden, Dunn, Christie, Powell, Bones, Westbrook, Mann still on the roster.

Moe can stand on his own

 

[msgkings322]

Mitchell is an ancient 26....and Mobley Garland and Allen are old grizzled vets. I just am dreading the inevitable Mobley retirement rumors.....rebuild imminent. lol.

Nah that's obviously a championship roster you got there

MY point DJ is the Lakers have a decent solid base to keep building with. Getting Knecht at 17 was a steal and then securing the James familee was also a good step in the short and long-term. Bringing in DeRozan and trying to move DRuss to me seems counterproductive in the long run. Who is to say DRuss is going to continue to not show-up in the playoffs.

2 straight playoff series vs Denver where he laid an egg. About to be 28. You think he is developing into a playoff performer all of the sudden?

Good reg season player, chokes when it matters.

 

[DJ]

Long run?

Dlo gone after this year

Your best bet was to get Paul to take less money to sign the mle rather than what the spurs gave him

CP signed for 1 year and 11 mill.

The MLE is like 13 mill.

If we are going to be shooting more threes, would you not want to keep DRuss who opted-in to play under Redick and whose 3-pt shooting improved dramatically last year?

If DRuss buys in as he has indicated, he could just as easily develop into a decent defensive player and maybe even show-up for the playoffs. If he doesn't make good on his promises, then as has already been state, he could be moved in February when maybe interest in him increases.

If they gave up D-Lo and got Derozan back in this scenario they still need a PG so yeah it just doesn't make sense. Better off going the route @Mecca suggested. Trent or Hield. Get another shooter for Lebron. To be fair, they didn't have Vandy and they went toe to toe with Denver. Other teams improved since then so they aren't in that top tier but make a couple small moves where they can improve.

@bksballer89 yeah or nah

There was a story that Irving convinced him not to sign with the Lakers. Met with him face to face.

Bron just called him.

Harden, Dunn, Christie, Powell, Bones, Westbrook, Mann still on the roster.

The Clipps should flip RW to the Nuggets as was mentioned in a Tweet posted on here earlier.
