Re: 2019 Offseason Thread

But what about the changing Vegas odds?


They once had the Knicks as the favorite to land KD. But now it's the Nets?


Vegas doesn't have any secret scoop no one else has. They are playing up the rumors they hear and the odds that net them the biggest return.

Right odds change but they are good to go by once the impending date is near.

We post them because they help drive discussion. Free agency would be mighty boring if only posted each report by Shams or Woj once deals are final.

Stein says 3 teams are gonna be disappointed come free agency. Broussard says he talks to KD for hours. Bucher claims he knows what Kawhi is thinking. SAS said KD to the Knicks was 95%. It's all speculative garbage.

There are legit guys out there beyond Woj and Shams. Wasn't it Haynes who had Hayward to the Cs before everyone even Woj. That was far from boring.

I just can't stand the ones who you know for sure have nothing throwing garbage out there for people to feed on. Serves no purpose.

Re: 2019 Offseason Thread

Masai did end of year press conference today. When asked about Kawhi, Masai said he knows Kawhis priorities and seems to suggest he knows Kawhis decision.

He met with Kawhi and felt happy about the meeting.


Although latest reports (from Isola) say Kawhis meeting with LAC on July 2.

If Masai feels happy, and Kawhi is meeting with LAC on July 2, maybe it's what I thought where he takes some short deal with Raptors and then he's just meeting with other teams to see where they're at now, so he has a good idea in future what those teams could be like (or at least feel out how management/medical staff is)



He also ended the Wizards speculation. Said he's in Toronto long term. Raptors owners said Masai isnt leaving, and Wizards said they never had plans to get Masai, so was Wojs tweet which just happened to come out the minute the Raptors won (followed by so many positive Clippers stuff so far) done on purpose, maybe Balmer or someone got to Woj?

Marc Stein

The Celtics, I'm told, are emerging as a stealth suitor for Charlotte Hornets free agent Kemba Walker

I don’t believe it. But by all means get your hopes up, fellow C’s fans.

I'm not hope. Or even fantasy kind of person.

But I like to talk about fit with the core. And as of right now it's Tatum and Brown. And I think I've said this before. I like Walker. But I'd rather get Rubio right now. He's probably cheaper (I don't know the numbers like that). And he just fits really well with 2 young ball hungry wings like these 2. I like Walker. But he would kind of bring the same thing Kyrie brought. And I didn't even mention Hayward. I'd take Rubio and some defensive big.

Re: 2019 Offseason Thread

See I think Kemba would be less like playing with Kyrie and more like how it was with Rozier only a lot better.

Re: 2019 Offseason Thread

Kemba in Boston hmmm....

Pro: He's a very good player... most likely the best available for Boston this offseason

Con: He's not a big man which is our biggest need and we would have very little money to sign anyone after him

Pro: Could be like a better version of IT (on both ends)

Con: he's kind of short and not good defensively.

Pro: not as good offensively as Kyrie but still instant offense

Con: Attitude and teammate wise he should be much better than either Kyrie or Rozier

Pro: He should take pressure off of the Jay's and Hayward since he would be the teams best scorer

Con: He's a high usage PG who needs the ball in his hands and would take touches/shots away "the Jay's" and Hayward

Pro: If he wore #8 we can recycle our Antonie Walker jersey's

Spoiler

In conclusion, I'm indifferent... I would much rather have a center but there really isn't one available that's worth the max. Bringing in a less expensive PG who would allow some money for a center would be an intriguing option, as well. But if Kemba is on the way, I certainly won't complain.

Come home Kemba.

Re: 2019 Offseason Thread

I think Boston signing Kemba would be a poor choice. He's talented but you'd only have the same issues you had with Kyrie; a roster oversaturated with guards. You have talented young guards, build around them and let them develop.

Re: 2019 Offseason Thread

Why would Boston sign anyone whose main skill is to score ? They have plenty of that with Brown, Tatum and Heyward. It would also be a poor choice to bring in another guy in his prime that would again seem to stunt the growth of your young players.

Re: 2019 Offseason Thread

Kemba would be perfect for not in title contention anymore but fun competitive team.

I dunno what they'd do for Bigs but when have Smarf at Center you don't need any bigs.

if the option is Vuc or Kemba. Kemba wins that by a landslide. I'd much rather Kemba than Dlo also. Brogdon would probably still be preferable but it's going to cost a ton to keep him from MIL.
