2024 NBA Offseason

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Agree but you don't just trade him to trade him. I think that GS was shit, at least what I hear from multiple sources. For all that I know, that was the only offer they got but maybe if they shopped him last year at the trade deadline they get a better offer...who knows. Either way, they are contending now and weren't contending with him (w/ Kawhi always hurt).

Right.

Double down on the fuckery by trading him for a late round 1st while still staying in the tax.

Full on tard shit.

How is any of this PG’s fault?

lol exactly I would love to know. People hate pg for some weird reason. Nothing to hate about him once you understand he’s not a true #1

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

It is not.

But, if they saw where things were going......they should have dealt Leonard. They would have found a team to give them a nice return and the Clipps could have tweaked the roster this summer around PG and Harden.

I love prime Leonard before he started getting hurt but he will not be that player ever again.

They signed Kawhi first.

He isn’t eligible to be traded.

So, show me the team that offered the Clippers a package of just picks or good players.

Show me one that said, we won’t dump our long term shit contracts on you for a single first round pick, that will keep you in the penalty for the next 2 years…

You can’t because there wasn’t one.

Yeah.

Dude is a beta.

But a damn good one.

George as the 3rd option is gonna be some good shit.

It’s not his fault that the Clippers bet on the wrong combination of horses.

It looked good at the time, 2 damn good wings.

I was pissed if you remember, @Mecca.

I wanted either Leonard or PG on the Lakers.

I’m still waiting for you and @The Q to show me that trade package the Clippers should have accepted.

This is who the Warriors were selling George that he would play with.

So, who were the Clippers getting in return?

Payton Jr and garbage?


Get all the way the fuck outta here with that nonsense y’all are posting…..lmfao



That was a real thing that was close to being done. That deal was close to being done from what I was being told on the situation, they was expressing just how much they wanted me there, how I could have fit in perfectly with Draymond [Green], Steph [Curry]. Klay [Thompson] probably would've stayed. [Brandin] Podziemski, [Jonathan] Kuminga, [Andrew] Wiggins. They didn't know how or what package was going to be there to trade for me…[Kevon] Looney was going to be there and so it was very intriguing and it was still an opportunity to stay close to home, stay on the West Coast,

 

[Shanemansj13]

Theis is better than TT at this point in his career.

TT is a towel waver/cheerleader at this point......there is a reason he sat out until James had the Lakers add him in 2022-23.

SMH.

Depends on what you need. TT is still a great rebounder. Far better than Theis, he is also a better defender. Theis can spread the floor but it's not like he shoots often. TT filled in very well for CLE last season.

Neither is ideal

Expiring deals and picks

Nothing long term like you keep saying

Where was that offer?

When did any team that George was willing to sign with offer anything close to that?

I will wait…..

You can piece it together with context

It’s basically

Paul
Payton
Looney
Picks

 

[dtgold88]

Do you believe Mark puts the Thunder in the drivers seat to win it all?

If the answer is yes, sure make the deal.

If it’s no, why in GAWDS name should they empty the war chest for a marginal improvement?

I love Lauri and think he is very good.

I say marginal improvement because he takes shots away from Chet and Santa Clara Williams.

They have enough offense…imo

I like him too....but what is he offering a good team I wonder? when he was here (and at time not as good a team as OKC now) he was just a 15 and 6 guy. Might he have simply exploded into a stud? Maybe...but also think a lot was putting up numbers on a bad team.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Sacramento active in trade talks.

After getting DD....Huerter doesn't make sense for them anymore.

I thought GS declined Looney's team option?

Picks

*Pick

One shitty pick.
Looney, a nice center for a middling team.
CP3, he can play half the season if he isn't injured and they can cut him
Payton, if he can stay healthy-not likely-he can be lumped in with all the guard they already have

I hate how every single time I have to explain how salary cap matching works….


You need to match salar when teams are over the cap

The clippers have no picks

They need draft capital, desperately

This is better than losing him for nothing and giving Jones jr 3 freaking years

 

[DJ Fieri]

NM

Not guaranteed. Thought he was going to be waived.

Picks

They weren’t including Looney.

They were only offering more than a single pick.

So try again.

You are inventing your own narrative based off shit that isn’t true.

The Clippers are morons.

Not for declining the poo poo platter.

But because they really believed Paul would be willing to take a shit offer just to remain in LA.

You were not in the room.

Neither was I.

You know who was in the Room?

George.

I believe his narrative over the shit you are posting with zero sources.

He wanted a no trade clause and a 4 year deal.

When he saw they were done negotiating, he made his choice.

The truth is George and the Clippers played chicken.

The Clippers lost.
