2024 NBA Offseason

[DJ]

What do you want to see the Knicks do in the offseason, @Sportsguy9695?

 

[DJ]

I think I might like Claxton better for them?

Just love how athletic he is. They would be so scary defensively. So much length and speed.

True but Hartenstein does a little of everything. Score, rebound, and he is a good defender. He really showcased his passing in the playoffs too.

I don't think either would be a bad choice, especially if NY goes all out to keep Hartenstein.

Claxton is better on defense but Hartenstein is no slouch.

Borrego probably getting the Pistons job since he and Langdon have history in New Orleans.

If Borrego doesn't get the job....Redick better call him.

I hate the fact that he can’t make free throws but the Thunder shoot them better as a team than anyone so they could absorb that I guess. I’m afraid Claxton will be too expensive though. The $25 mil or so I have seen rumored for Hartenstein is doable.

He's a pretty nifty passer too.

The switchiest team in the League likely agrees with you

I think he just has his blinders on and now he’s dug in. The Thunder just happened to be the other team involved. This is criticism of the whole freaking plan from the Bulls organization.

Although I have seen a few reports that really like this move for the Bulls...

This has pretty much been the concensus.

• OKC: "Giddey was a clear weak spot in OKC's playoff rotation due to his poor 3-point shooting and defense. The Thunder then traded him for Caruso, a two-time All-Defensive guard who shot 40.8% from deep this past season. And the cherry on top? OKC didn't even have to give up one of its many future draft picks. Take a bow, Sam Presti."
• 
  
• Chicago: "Giddey could become the primary facilitator that Chicago needs, although I do wonder how effective he'll be on a team that has little floor spacing. And while the Bulls deserve credit for finally thinking about their future with this trade, a return package of just Giddey for one of the league's best role players is underwhelming."

This makes the offense pretty much full time 5 out, a lot like the Celtics. Obviously the defensive changes speak for themselves.

I heard from a source it sounds like Cleveland is hiring Atkinson. Not sure when it will be announcing but guessing today at some point

Can you say the source? Pluto?

[DJ]

KCP is expected to decline his player option. Denver is not going to be able to bring him back with other teams able to offer more and that will be a big loss since they do not have anybody capable of replacing him.

It’s highly confidential information. If they find out I said something it could lead to bad things and ultimately death. Sorry

 

[The Q]

Buy low

Flip like gafford next year

Profit

Well to tell you the truth I don’t think they need to do much this off season. They definitely did better then most fans were expecting

That’s a risk I’m willing to take…

They will have access to an mle and aggregation of salaries though

They will have a chance to be more creative for a year

Well if Pluto has the same source he clearly does not have the same strings attached as you...he seems to think it's Atkinson now.

whoever it is, kind of hope they name him before draft.

The Knicks are limited in what they can do because they don’t have full Bird rights, only early Bird rights. They can free up all the money they want but they can only pay him $16.2 M this coming season. The Thunder can offer him a 2 year deal at substantially more than that and then he could be a full free agent at only 28.

Technically if they could create cap space they could offer him more

But that would take a lot of work, including losing OG to someone else and not picking up bog’s option
