Re: 2019 Offseason Thread

Wow. Yahoo just tweeted that Chris Paul is demanding a trade from the Rockets as his relationship with James Harden is “unsalvageable.”

It's too bad he has probably the second-worst contract in the entire league.

Re: 2019 Offseason Thread

I mean agree with you, if that happens, I just don't think Barnes is worth a big contract. Maybe he's been promised one from somebody, but if this is just him and his agent gambling on him, I don't think he's worth more than a lot of players who are in that 10-15 mil range.



So I was assuming one more year at 25 and sign that same deal for significantly less for multiple years next season.

I get what you’re saying to an extent, but I also think guys are looking at the void in the potential void in the free agent market if Klay, KD and Kawhi stay with their teams which a lot of teams/people didn’t think was going to happen and now teams have all this money they were saving for this free agency that they have to spend. This is similar to when the TV money came in and made the huge cap spike so guys were getting paid money they had no business getting paid because the teams had to spend that cash. I think that’s what this is to a lesser degree tho.

Lets see Paul end up in LAL, almost a decade too late lol.

I don’t even know how they’d do it. They’ve got 5 guys on the roster right now with no where near the matching salary to make it work unless they absorb him into their cap space which takes them out of the running for literally everybody else at that point

Re: 2019 Offseason Thread

Chris Paul and Harden was never going to work. It could’ve, but I think Harden’s development from being ball dominant to just being a straight up ball hog hindered it. Dude made no sacrifices and you could say it worked because of the MVP and him salvaging their season but it didn’t actually get them anywhere meaningful.

I wonder where CP lands though. Who has the need for a 34 year old PG on a big contract? This is the kind of dumb **** I see the Wolves doing.

I don’t think it’s as difficult as people think. There’s a lot of teams that have cap space or have contracts that would roughly match.

For example, the Jazz can basically offer the same thing for CP3 that they were offering for Conley but substitute Korver in instead of a first round pick.

Pistons can basically do the same.

Lakers and Pacers have enough cap space that they don’t have to match salaries.

Boston can build something around Hayward.

Milwaukee could offer something built around Bledsoe and Snell.

Miami has a plethora of contracts that they can offer.

It really depends on if Morey thinks these types of packages would actually improve their team.

From a little while back about potential landing spots for CP3

Edit: Can probably cross Lakers off the list but the others remain

I would take him if his contract was about half of what it is lol

Re: 2019 Offseason Thread

I can’t believe y’all are really coming down on Barnes for opting out to get more money talking about some being 27 and the money being there next year and all this. We just saw Klay blow up his knee and KD blow up his foot literally 2 games away from the biggest payday of their lives.

If you think you can get a long term deal from someone in this climate, do that ****.

Was it Mike Conley who got that money.
