Predict the NBA Offseason

[wildturkey]

We did this last year of setting up a few moves and having everyone predict. From what I recall, it was a disaster. I think Mecca got the most right and by most I think it was like 3 moves right. Let's see if we can do better this year.

Predict what happens with:

Lebron-
Kawhi-
Paul George-
Chris Paul-
Boogie-
Open- (This is a slot where you're free to make any prediction about any free agent or potential trade you think will happen)




My guesses:

Lebron- Cleveland
Kawhi- Philly
Paul George-OKC
Chris Paul-Houston
Boogie-New Orleans
Open- Dwight Howard signs with the Wizards

I call my predictions Operation Blue Balls in that everyone expects a lot of action, but no one moves anywhere. Paul George does a 1 and 1 to make himself eligible for a supermax next year. Kawhi gets dealt to Philly but no long term commitment. As a result, Lebron stays in Cleveland by opting in or a 1 and 1 to re-enter FA agency next summer to do this dance all over again with Kawhi, PG, and new free agents like Jimmy Butler.

This is what I thought a couple days ago. This is what I think now:

Lebron- Lakers
Kawhi- Lakers
Paul George- Lakers
Chris Paul-Houston
Boogie-New Orleans
Open- Deandre gets traded to Dallas

 

[bksballer89]

Lebron-Cleveland
Kawhi- San Antonio
Paul George-Lakers
Chris Paul-Houston
Boogie-Dallas

 

[Mecca]

LeBron -Lakers

George- OKC

Boogie- Dallas

Cp3- Houston

Kawhi- Philly or Boston

Dwight- Warriors...lol

 

[Shanemansj13]

George- OKC

Boogie- Dallas

So Lebron is going to LA by himself?

She's fighting her inner hater, lol.

 

[flyerhawk]

Lebron- Lakers
Kawhi- Philly
Paul George- OK
Chris Paul- Houston
Boogie- Dallas
Open- Kemba Walker to the Magic.

 

[femurov]

Lebron- Cleveland
Kawhi- Cleveland
Paul George- LA Lakers
Chris Paul- Houston
Boogie- LA Clippers
Open- The Bullets (Wizards) will get absolutely nothing more than a bench player in FA or through a trade. Magic will not step down as GM if he fails in FA.

Interesting. What do the Cavs give to the Spurs to get Kawhi?

I'm not sure... I will admit that I didn't put a whole lot of time and effort into this. A few first round picks that start the year after LeBron leaves or retires? Kevin Love? Baker Mayfield? I really don't know.

Lebron - Cleveland
Kawhi - Philly
Paul George - Lakers
Chris Paul - Houston
Boogie - Lakers

What about "as of today...after seeing PG's Part 2 feature?" His series so far looks like a heavy lean towards "I love LA but Ima stay put".

That's the buildup to the surprise ending! They certainly wouldn't tell you his intentions before the 3 part series is over. Maybe he's going to Orlando, lol...

 

[HurricaneDij39]

LeBron - Lakers
Kawhi - Preferably Atlanta, but my prediction is Lakers.
Me-G 13 - Lakers
Chris Paul - Houston
Boogie - New Orleans
Open - Derrick Favors to Milwaukee, Alex Len to Brooklyn

Now I'm out for the next three weeks because this board is about to get ridiculous...
