Re: 2017 Offseason Thread

Keep putting 71/4 into my calculator hoping to get a small number but it keeps coming up big.

**** the Knicks.

It only took one team to completely screw up the market for Avery Bradley next off-season and it appears that team was the Knicks.

If you're going to bet on a team screwing up, the Knicks are the best bet you can make. Currently clubhouse leaders in "bad decisions that we'll regret six months from now" but the Bulls are gaining.

Hayward has an opt out after year 3 right?

Celtics better believe the agreement is Hayward is demanding the max at age 30.

Ainge is backed into a corner right now. It's either Hayward bails him out for now by taking less, or trading away a player for pennies on the dollar. GMs around the league aren't exactly lined up to give a guy known for being a stingy negotiator fair market value given the situation.

Bad time to be a fan of Chicago teams and it'll only get worse when the Fall arrives.

At least the Cubs got their WS though.

Other news, Celtics are finalizing a trade to send Avery Bradley to the Pistons.

Well I had a post written up about stingy Ainge, but I guess it's done now right? They have to shed more salary or no?

No more money needs to be shed.

Made the most sense to move Bradley. Crowder is signed for two more years for cheaper and Smart is cheap to reup than Bradley would be. Man, I'm going to miss him though.

I wonder who they're sending back because they need to dump salary to bring back KCP?

And I figured Hayward would've taken less so they could keep most of their pieces on that team.

Marcus Morris is going to the C's in the deal.

Looks like it for Marcus Morris...

On the bright side, going forward at least he can't take Markieff's spot when he's injured in the playoffs.

Re: 2017 Offseason Thread

So I finished looking at players in the Top 10 in PER which switched teams as free agents during the offseason for the 1976-1977 (the first year of free agency in the NBA) 'till the 1989-1990 season (don't lie, I know you all were holding your breath in anticipation ).

Only one player fit the criteria:

• (1982) Moses Malone 26.8 PER (1st) from Houston (9th) to Philadelphia (4th).

If you look at the background of this deal it is basically a sign and trade.

So to summarize, the whole list looks like this:

• (1982) Moses Malone 26.8 PER (1st) from Houston (9th) to Philadelphia (4th).
• (1996) Shaquille O'Neal 26.4 PER (3rd) from Orlando (19th) to Los Angeles (2nd).
• (2000) Grant Hill 24.5 PER(6th) from Detroit (14th) to Orlando (19th).
• (2010) LeBron James 31.1 PER (1st) from Cleveland (19th) to Miami (17th).
• (2010) Chris Bosh 25.0 PER (4th) from Toronto (5th) to Miami (17th).
• (2014) LeBron James 29.3 PER (2nd) from Miami (16th) to Cleveland (19th).
• (2015) LaMarcus Aldridge 22.8 PER (10th) from Portland (26th) to San Antonio (32nd).
• (2016) Kevin Durant 28.2 PER (2nd) from Oklahoma City (42nd) to Oakland (7th).
