NBA Offseason Thread

Lebron is coming regardless.


And PG is only up in the air now because he’s a people pleaser. And the only people that can legally be in his ear right now is the OKC side. PG himself is somewhat seriously considering staying in OKC due to the brotherhood with Russ, but his family and his girl want him in LA. And once he gets in the meeting with Magic cheesing ass it’ll change. I give OKC a 15% shot once FA opens when they’re not the only ones that can be in his ear.

That’s a Big reason why Magic and Pelinka held a big meeting with everyone in the organization this past week. Saying any employee that outright tampers or flirts with it will be fired for any type of tampering. Teams around the league looking for any possible way to throw a monkey wrench into the proceedings.

They’re not out of it but a lot of the smoke now is coming out of OKC, & it is because they’re the only ones really in his ear and PG is entertaining it all.
 
I think the mavs had a good draft. Doncic a good fit for what Carlisle runs and brunson super solid

+ they can have wes or barnes guard the tougher wing/guard match up.

All they need is a big, I can definitely see them offering a max to cousins or capela

or sign dwight on a 1 year deal ,and if cousins bounces then the pelicans could be a spot for dwight since ad don't like playing the 5 even tho they thrived when he moved there.

Probably right, not to mention Chris Paul is still out there and even without George they could put a roster pretty similar or maybe even better than what was around Harden and Paul, although they need to do better than what they got to protect the paint, if Paul goes to LA with Bron it’s a two team race in the west

Trust they in the weeds lurkin if the rockets don't break him off with that full max.

Stephen a also said if lebron asks cp to come play wit him paul wouldn't care about the dough
 
We need offense in the worst way. Luckily there's a handful of guys in next year's class that project to be go to scorers but we still have a big question mark at the 1. Wouldn't be opposed to signing IT on a short term prove it deal. Maybe a sign and trade with LA for Vuc expiring. I like Van Vleet but the Raptors said bringing him back is their top priority this off season.

I legit was just thinking this but he’s not exactly the defensive big I was thinking they could use, still would be a good move, 1 year 12-13 mil for IT wouldn’t be a bad look
 
Will the Lakers max out CP3 if the Rockets dont? Would be interested in seeing if LA will give the 5 year max to CP3 if they get Bron and no one else.

Id like to see it for fuckeries sake cause Lakers fans will cheer the 5 year max to cp3 now and hate Magics guts for the same deal 2 years from now.
 


same dude said mavs only going after cousins if his price drops from the max

said mavs will use their cap space to acquire a big via trade if they can't sign one
 
Bamba been in Orlando a couple days and already got him a Becky

The Suns are ready to make aggressive moves in free agency, but not without a little house cleaning first, according to Scott Bordow of The Arizona Republic.

Look for Phoenix to maximize its cap room by shedding some unwanted salary, Bordow writes, with free agents Elfrid Payton and Alex Len both likely to be renounced. Payton’s performance was uneven after coming to the Suns in a midseason trade and he carries a $10MM cap hold. Len became expendable with the addition of No. 1 pick Deandre Ayton.

Those moves would give the team about $10MM for the free agent market, but the Suns are thinking bigger. Bordow expects them to cut ties with center Alan Williams, who has a non-guaranteed $5.52MM salary for next season. They may try to re-sign him or trade him to a team that can afford him more easily.

Other non-guaranteed contracts that might get discarded belong to Tyler Ulis ($1.54MM) and Shaquille Harrison ($1.38MM), while Davon Reed has a $1.38MM deal with a $689,212 guarantee. The deadline to decide on Ulis’ deal is tomorrow.

With up to $20MM available to chase free agents, Phoenix will focus on finding a point guard and a power forward who can defend and shoot from the outside.

Bordow lists the Clippers’ Patrick Beverley, the Celtics’ Marcus Smart, the Bulls’ Zach LaVine, the Raptors’ Fred VanVleet and the Jazz’ Dante Exum as potential backcourt targets, while Utah’s Derrick Favors, Houston’s Trevor Ariza or Luc Mbah a Moute, Milwaukee’s Jabari Parker, Indiana’s Thaddeus Young, San Antonio’s Rudy Gay or Philadelphia’s Ersan Ilyasova could fit the four spot. If the Suns find a power forward, Bordow expects them to explore trading either Dragan Bender or Marquese Chriss.
