Official Offseason News and Rumors

[Heatles84]

EVERY decent player thinks they're a max player......and generally the GM's in the East are dumb enough to give it to them.

BOOZER to the LAKERS was the easiest call on the planet.


I was discussing the merits of their lineup with Boozer last week.


I actually liked that team 2 days ago with Boozer. I like them better now with more thought.


So, I increased my offseason prediction successs rate from about 1 in 100 .....to 2 in 100.... still better than Broussard.

This is actually bad news for Laker fans.

The Team, without Boozer, was already gonna be better than last year's D League extravaganza.

That team won sub-30 games last year and got the 7th pick.

So, adding him will make it harder for them to hold onto their pick next summer.

Time for a hard salary cap.

I agree. The Lakers don't need another old and brittle player.

Napier looks really bad. I think he might be out of the league in 3-4 years. He just isn't a NBA player.

Trey Burke is looking worse. Napier will be fine because he can play defense. He'll be in the league for a LONG time just based on that.

There is zero risk for the LAKERS


They have one of those lineups that could surprise. A lot has to go right, but it is intriguing.
Don't discount Kobe Bryant's impact.

But, if it flames out, none of the contracts are guaranteed anchors next year.
Heck, Chicago is paying Boozer's salary for them.


The LAKERS will have insane amount of cap space and 3 first round picks next year.
I still think they can flirt with 40+ wins this year and get things back on even footing.

You put way too much stock into summer league. He's playing with nobody who will be in the Heat rotation/roster on opening night. The one player who would be there on opening night is Ennis who's been out a few games now. Most of these guys will be lucky to make an NBA roster.

I'm almost certain Napier would look much better when he is surrounded by actual NBA players.

I will get worried about him if he's playing like this 3 months into the season

The ROY had a worse shooting percentage. People take too much stock in the summer league. He moves the ball well on offense and plays decent defense. He can work on shooting.

I see that Sportsman post has been taken down. Has trojan finally banned him? I'm anticipating this more than the Decision.

 

[bksballer89]

What did he say? I missed it

 

[Heatles84]

What did he say? I missed it

Something along the lines of Pat Riley fucked up the Heat.

I lol'd hard. He replaced Lebron with Deng, who was about as good of a replacement as you were gonna get. That dude's got a hard on for Riley for whatever reason.

 

[trojanfight]

So Bledsoe wants 5 yr/80 mill lmao

I imagine this changes things with phoenix. that saying they would max any offer might have been bogus...

bought into that isiah Thomas deal. they got the room just don't see them committing to that. question is can he get that elsewhere

I still don't see how you think a team with no defense and no bench in the west can POSSIBLY win 40+ games.......

I think GS would be giving up too much.

So their five would be:

Curry
Crawford
Igoudala
Love
Bogut

I forgot they got Crawford.

Did I miss a trade somewhere? When did this happen?

So the rumored deal for Cleveland would be:

Love

For

Wiggins, Waiters, Bennett

Or

Love and Glenn Robinson III

For

Wiggins, Waiters, Thompson

I hate both of those!!!
