2017 Offseason Thread

Re: 2017 Offseason Thread

I can't disagree with that.. they've been butting heads ever since Bird tried to get him to play the 4 in '15. But I still can't say he knew. The timing fits, but if he knew why wouldn't he have traded him at the deadline when he was getting god offers from Denver(rumored anyway) and whoever else.




It's been rumored, it was never confirmed. You hear PG talk and you hear a guy that still wants to stick around in Indy and see things through. It's been reported and Pritchard confirmed last night in his press conference he's had many private discussions with PG since the season ended about the future and about his plans to put a team around him(he even said he asked PG his input on moves he'd like to see them make) and PG never gave any indication he was planning to leave. I mean.. what are you going to believe as a GM? Rumors or speaking to the guy face to face... on top of that dude didn't even have the balls to tell Pritchard his decision himself, he had his agent call him.

And again, I'm not mad he announced he's leaving. I'm mad he said he was leaving and is going to LA. Then his agent is calling teams up and telling them he won't resign with any team no matter who he's traded to.... no one is giving up anything of value because of that. Had he simply said I plan to opt out next year and none of this LA bs or refusing to resign with anyone, I think teams wouldn't be as hesitant to give us at least something. But we will see how it shakes out...

Love you z Revis, but I think you're just in your feelings a bit (understandably so).

You want George to not mention he is leaving to LA so another team can give up the farm and get screwed over in a year? This is just a situation where someone is going to get screwed no matter what... George made sure it wasn't going to be him, while giving his current team (and any future team) a head's up to limit any other pain.

It doesn't matter what he may have told the GM. If he wasn't ready to make a decision either way at that point, he's not going to hint at anything that would force his hand or give the team an idea to move him before he's decided what his future should be.

It sucks, but there isn't really a situation where the face of a franchise leaving doesn't suck for some side of the equation. Not Butler, KD, LBJ, Melo, Barkley, etc, etc, etc.

ESPN says Melo and Wade are candidates to join the Cavs if bought out of their contracts. No ****.

Cavs will get a hungry Melo if that happens. No LaLa, no NYC nightlife.

It was fun for what it was. We pretty much knew we weren't winning **** this year anyway. Got the novelty of finally seeing Dwyane in a Bulls jersey. He had some fun moments that were exciting to watch. Now we don't need to see it anymore, they traded Jimmy in slime like fashion to tank the team's reputation with players in the league yet again, so any hope of Wade being here and helping Jimmy recruit stars here is out the window thanks to the dynamic duo of cluelessness and dumb assery.

Re: 2017 Offseason Thread

What a turn around in the last few years for Kevin Love. He was a sought out player before Cavs. Yeah the contract is not ideal, but I want to see Love in a different setting. I would to see him as a second option. His main looks now are 3s and 2nd chance looks. If he can add some of the back to basket aspect to his game, then he would be more dynamic.

Re: 2017 Offseason Thread

Are you sure they weren't going to win anything? They were one Rondo injury from eliminating the #1 seed.

I'm just waiting to see how many fans attend these games next year. Bulls fans always show up so we'll see when they've had enough.

I feel like it went downhill after that first week of games when Wade had that ESPN statline better 3 pt percentage than Curry over a full season.

Why are we having this show after the season? No one cares. You got hit this stuff while it's hot. Not after the playoffs.

Re: 2017 Offseason Thread

Small news but Raptors will promote Bobby Webster to GM. Not like it changes anything, Masai is still the one in charge. But Webster at 32 will be the youngest gm in the NBA today (youngest in NBA history is 28)

ESPN says Melo and Wade are candidates to join the Cavs if bought out of their contracts. No ****.

And Bosh could be an assistant coach lol. Might as well.

This is a dumb question. But did you watch him play? They went to Kevin Love in the post way more than ever. He usually started the game getting touches down low. So I don't see what you mean by expanding. I love PG. But he isn't going to change much in my opinion.
