Official NBA Offseason/Player Movement Thread

Re: Official NBA Offseason/Player Movement Thread

It's clearly that.

It's not that the Cavs fans here have a history of hyping up trades like:

"Bucks trade Michael Redd and Charlie Villanueva and the 8th pick to Cleveland for Anderson Varejao, Daniel Gibson, Sasha Pavlovic and the 19th pick."

"The 11th pick makes that a completely different deal. I'd do that in a second.

Perhaps they could do something like the 2 other picks, Damon Jones, Boobie Gibson and Anderson Varejao to Golden State for Baron Davis...

LeBron, JO, and Davis would be pretty cool to see...if they are all healthy."

A few days ago it was Jamison and the #5 for Ben Wallace.

And now they'll get the second best center in the NBA for expiring contracts when Yao's contract is already expiring?

That would all seem very reasonable, if you weren't responding to a post in which the Cleveland fan called out the articles as being ridiculous hype and speculation.

Toronto general manager Bryan Colangelo feels as though the team's best course of action is to sign-and-trade Chris Bosh.

Bosh will become an unrestricted free agent after the 2009-10 season, which puts the Raptors in a difficult spot.

"We'll have the discussion, we'll talk about the pros and the cons, he'll most likely not sign it, and then we'll get in to next season, we'll figure out where we are," Colangelo said in an interview with The Fan 590 in Toronto.

"In respect to the situation for him, there will be a handful of teams next year - I'm guessing between five and ten - which will have maximum allowable free agent money, which means Chris is subject to walk to one of those deals. But, I have to reiterate the point that keeps being overlooked - we're the only team that can offer him a full six years versus five years, 10.5% increases versus 8% increases ... Basically equates to a $30 million dollar difference. So, even if he wants to leave, he's still better served, and we're better served if he works a sign-and-trade with us where we can get some sort of an asset back from the team that he's going to. And, I think that's probably the thing that we'll both push for because he'll benefit from it and we'll benefit from it, and that's why it's probably not time to panic now and make a bad deal."

I really hope he (Colangelo) does this, this offseason and not the next...

Re: Official NBA Offseason/Player Movement Thread

Cebby's post basically described exactly how the NBA Season was on OS and that's what makes it funny on here lol.

Isn't next year first of the next 15 Cavs-Blazers Finals series we'll be having?

I don't know why you dragged up that thread, because the OS consensus opinion is overwhelmingly in favor of the Blazers not being a lock to win a title.

I don't get how it describes OS if two or three homers bring up some crazy idea, but most of OS disagrees. I got bored reading an old, dead thread before I found a non-Blazers fan backing up that nonsense.

I will assume that you are drunk and didn't see the post I was replying to.

He asked for a thread proclaiming the Blazers as a championship team and I posted a link to a thread that was started exactly one month ago.

You can assume, presume or take whatever steps you wish to fuel your own sarcastic, non-contributing agenda. Fact of the matter is, you're using minority homer fantasies as an excuse to post ridiculous things.

I'm not sure what you're talking about.

A person asked me who predicted the Trailblazers to be NBA champions. I posted a link to a thread asking "Who'll win more championships in the next couple of years: Cleveland or Portland?" Pack posted a similar thread.

My "sarcastic, non-contributing agenda" predicted 13 of 15 series winners correct in 2008 and 10 of 15 correct in 2009. Of those in 2009, 1 of each of my incorrect picks were the Cavs, Celtics, and Blazers which would be the exact opposite of "my agenda."

And in both threads, the overwhelming majority of OSers opposed the idea of a Blazers dynasty, and put the likelihood of their Finals appearance in perspective. So you're beating a dead horse with the sarcasm.

Cebby? Sarcasm? No way, right?

Lebron, Bosh, Wade, Amare, and Joe Johnson are all going to the Wizards for the league minimum in 2010.

Take it to the bank.

Why don't we just get a Kobe for Big Ben and the Ho rumor?

There was no sarcasm in that post.

Of the previous posts you quoted, only the first had sarcasm. The second was serious.

Symptoms of the off-season.

Draft is almost here so that'll be some nice medicine for the forum.

Re: Official NBA Offseason/Player Movement Thread

I should've just said nothing then if I known Cebby's post would get people up in arms, which really ain't that big of a deal.
