Re: 2015 Offseason Thread

Do Lakers fans want Kobe to play after this year or would they rather get his cap space back?

On BET he said he'll see at the end of the season if he wants to come back. So sounds like he's leaving the door open. If the team shows progress, especially with its young players, maybe he wants to sign an extension.

All depends on how while he plays and how good the team is this next year. If the team sucks or he gets a bad injury again or isn't playing while then I want him to retire. I don't want to just see him stick around. Even though he was averaging like 25 a game before he got hurt I cant say he was playing at a high level because he was only shooting like 37% on the season before he got injured last season. If the team shows a big improvement and he plays while then I want him to come back for like 2 more years to see if the team can continue to progress even more. Kobe retiring is going to suck but at the same time I don't want to just see a washed up kobe if he has nothing left. Just because you have cap space doesn't mean you are going to get some one. So even if kobe where to retire doesn't mean they are going to get some one for sure and if kobe dose come back after this next year I don't think he is going to get even close to want he is getting right now so I don't think him playing other year after this is really going to hurt the teams cap much any way.

Who is the Mavs current PG?



Not sure what the league's fascination with DeAndre is.



And FWIW...I can't see him leaving the Clippers. Especially to go across the lockeroom to the Lakers. Dallas, maybe.



He has it made on the Clippers. I really don't think he wants to be some focal point of any offense.

I don't see him leaving either, I don't know why he would want to downgrade.

He would never be anything close to a focal point of any offense, even Philly lol. Idk why people even got that from my posts "a few touches a game" = focal point of an offense?

Hell I'm not even suggesting the dude change anything about his game. Just think that if hypothetically did land in Dallas that he and the Mav's could benefit from a couple post ups a game. You see flashes of him do it now, they are just rare. I guess I just don't think it's as laughable as some to suggest that he could be used slightly more offensively, hence the whole "bigger role" discussion. I definitely didn't mean to imply that any team should run their offense through him, or that he should try to be something he simply isn't.

Re: 2015 Offseason Thread

I have low Celtics offseason wants/needs/expectations. Resign Crowder to a long-term deal, maybe bring in a Robin Lopez type at a fair price, and even throw 13-14 per year at Tobias Harris would be fine by me.

All I don't want is them to spend lots of money stupidly. It's a long process becoming relevant again, and them going nuts handing out big contracts to a bunch a second tier free agents would be crippling. But I trust in them enough not to do something so foolish.

I would call that a good offseason. I love the way Crowder plays. He tough, gritty, etc. He is definitely a guy I want to keep. He is a defensive player. He played pretty well last season.

I'd be cool with him staying for the vets minimum and not calling for the ball every possession. Helping the young guys develop.

Other than that, retire. Lol

Both. If Kobe is fully healthy and wants to come back next year, why not let him. He'll have to take a sever paycut compared to what he makes today.

I mean if he playing well and has played 75 plus games pay the man. If not chop chop...welcome to your new pay&role.

I don't see him doing the vets minimum but I could see like 10-12 million if he where to play for more then just this next season.

Opt out after year 4 if he so chooses.
