Re: 2019 Offseason Thread

Would rather bring Terry back at a lower cap number.

Re: 2019 Offseason Thread

Multiple reports out there linking D'Lo/Lakers potentially reuniting now, so I guess it's time to start paying attention to that.

I suppose it's not the worst backup plan, especially considering his max is only $20 million, which I was previously unaware of. That will leave them with money over to sign another guy or two perhaps, despite ESPN apparently reporting that the Lakers are only going to have $19 million in cap space...wtf? I'm just curious as to where ESPN gets their info, because once again their stance has changed...after previously reporting it was $24 million...before not realizing they could still get $32 million by maneuvering around.

Also as of right now the Nets are the betting favorites to sign both KD and Kyrie.

Re: 2019 Offseason Thread

I'd rather see Boston go back to rebuilding again since it would be one less competitor for the Bucks, but I think Kemba would be a great signing personally.

Boston is almost entirely composed of wings right now with a need at PG and C. I would much rather go cheap on a big man than a PG. Sign Kemba (assuming he chooses you), and then you can use exceptions to sign C's like Dewayne Dedmon, Robin Lopez, Thomas Bryant, Ed Davis, etc. and you'll be fine there IMO.

I think Kemba would be a much better player to pursue than the Brogdon suggestion that I've seen floating around (and not just because I hope Milwaukee can keep Brogdon lol; Kemba's just a far better player and a good fit there IMO)

D'Lo's max is $27.25M. It's in the bottom right hand corner of the chart you posted.

Huh. Wondering why the $20 mil number is floating around then? That's lame. I don't think I'd want him at $27 mil then...but Idk.

Reports have been they would offer him around 20 million. So your number wasn't necessarily wrong, it was just assuming they weren't giving him max money or were pulling numbers out of their *** and had no idea what they are talking about.

Personally, I wouldn't offer him a max deal.. Though some teams probably will. I think you always have to be careful with a guy in a situation where he takes a lot of shots and scores some points on a team that is limited in their other options, and throwing them max money..

Yeah he had a nice year, put up 20, but was taking 19 shots. He was the main scoring option on that team, but lots of non-max level guys will score like that on that shot volume.. Lou Williams for example makes 8 million.. That's how you wind up with all those stupid contracts like the one Andrew Wiggins has..

Mavs are doing a thing:

I'm elated we moved him and got those picks if this is the ask.

Scott Perry is the low key Exec of the Year for dodging this albatross.

Re: 2019 Offseason Thread

Man have you guys seen how ****ty the 2020 FA class is?


K. Lowry, TOR
S, Ibaka, TOR
D. Green, GSW
J. Brown, BOS
P. Millsap, DEN
D. Favors, UTA
A. Roberson, OKC
A. Drummond, DET, option
G. Hayward, BOS, option
D. DeRozan, SA, option


We need to milk the hell out of this offseason because next summer is going to be a huge ****ing snoozefest!


Knicks are supposedly fine rolling their cap space over to next year if they strike out this year...I think I'd almost rather overpay someone this year than spend max money on any of those guys.

Don't worry, if Kawhi signs a 1+1, we'll have a whole year to hear from Woj about how much Kawhi is going to LAC next offseason.

Next year's FA class is terrible, yes.

But that is not why a team accumulates assets (draft picks, young players) and saves cap space.

Every single year, top players under contract seek a trade or hint they want to be dealt. I believe that's what the current Knicks front office is doing.

And FWIW, this offseason should be similar to 2016 with players getting overpaid. Just look at how many 2nd and 3rd tier players have opted out and become free agents recently. And look at how some marginal teams (Suns) are trying to clear cap space. Heck..a playoff Nets team may let their young All-Star walk for nothing.

You forgot AD


Also, you listed Jaylen Brown, who is a RFA... other RFA's are Ben Simmons, Jamal Murray, Buddy Hield, Domantas Sabonis, etc. They are all likely to get matched but you never know.

I just copy and pasted this list, it wasn't mine. I'm guessing those guys were left out because there's no way they don't get matched.

I had not heard the 19 million thing for cap space but I am so down for him. He cost less than KI like you said, and at 23 he may not even be in his prime yet ,were KI at 27 may be at his prime already, and may not get any better. If you get Russell not only do you have like a big 3 but with him being 23 and AD still only 27 you have two nice players to bulid around even in a few years when James is gone. It would make them a championship contender right now, and even after James is gone they would still be in pretty good shape, and with the money comming off the books from James you would be in pretty good shape to contend even after he is gone. I think he is a better player to get than KI or Kemba because of the age and the money and I think he has a better attitude than KI. KI is the better player but with the age and money and attitude is the difference in skill enough to really take KI over Russell?

Re: 2019 Offseason Thread

So how long until the Willie Cauley-Stein to the Lakers/Knicks rumors start? As early as Monday morning television? lol

I known I am late on this lol but I would rather just bring back JaVale McGee. I have always liked him. With AD and James he dosnt need to play a lot of minutes and McGee is a solid role player and he dosnt try to do to much.
