    Re: 2017 Offseason Thread

    PJ Tucker leaving Toronto screws up their plans a bit. They had a couple options

    1. Bring back the whole gang with some minor changes and go for it

    or

    2. Go really young with DeRozan being the anchor for the young players to gravitate around.

    The way it looks right now it seems they're still trying their damndest to do option 1 and try to stay under the cap. I'd hate to see Cory Jo leave but it'd be nice to see him get a shot at being a starting PG with the Pacers. I'm not so hung up on the Raps trying to deal Carroll who needs a change of scenery and JV who, while showing flashes of brilliance just hasn't completely worked out.

    At least the Raptors have a young guy who can take Tucker's place depending on how fast he develops in the form of OG who is projected to become a 3 and D type down the line. At the moment though, his style of play would be more similar to Bismack Biyombo.

      Get rid of Joseph and Carroll and give the young guys more shots. Casey needs to change the way he coaches or else nothing will get better. If Raptors don't get off to great start(not W-L wise, but statistically in terms of 3pt% and opponents ppg) , I'd like seeing someone else taking over.

        Per Woj, Nets are open to taking on salary dumps as long as there is a draft pick attached to it or a young player.

        Nets still have around $30-34 Mil in cap space left.

Hell only reason they haven't really turned them on him already is because they're not going to eat the 3 years he's got left on that contract, especially while they're still paying Thibs. Keep kicking that can down the road John.

            While Forman has been teaching the class on survival, behind the scenes the Bulls have been moving pieces that don't bode well for him.

            So your Bulls still paying Thibs, then they got Jimmy Buckets etc etc. The Wolves have become what the storied Bulls should've become, instead of the farce they are now smh.

            I'm not even a Bulls fan and it's upsetting lol.

                  Taj Gibson isn't a dead-eye shooter but he can hit enough to keep teams honest. The thing is that he can score points without having plays run for him. He'll set strong screens and attack the offensive glass. He'll box out on the defensive glass. He can play a strong man to man defense and also show and recover in the team game. Big loss for the Thunder and a good pickup for Minnesota.

                      I really like what Utah has built.. but if I'm Hayward there is no way I wouldn't go to Miami. The weather, the tax break. They've got good management, more attractive for other players compared to Utah or Boston. And I really think Spo gets better as a coach each season.

                            Woj messing up out here. Just tweeted out that Kyle Lowry has agreed to a 3 year, 100 million dollar deal but included no team. I'm assuming to stay in Toronto.
