Lol, as if.
That'd be like saying the only reason you didn't ask the really hot girl out on a date because you didn't want to blow your chances at going on a date with others.Comment

Re: 2019 Offseason Thread
I feel Toronto is the easiest path to the Finals for Kawhi. One because how loaded West is. Two, is they would essentially bring back same core of guys plus OG would be healthy. They should be the favorites to come out of East. There can be arguments that the top teams in East didn't take the next step.
-Bucks losing Brodgon and Mirotic will have an impact. Losing a 50-40-90 guy who can defend and Mirotic effects spacing. Bledsoe hasn't been reliable in playoffs and Lopez was trash most of playoffs. They would need Middleton to take that next step since he is making superstar money.
- Philly has a lot of questions. They should be a lengthy defensive team. But Half Court will be an issue. Ben has to be more aggressive and starting taking shots. Joel has to work on conditioning and has injury concerns. A lot of the 3s he took because he would get tired and stop running 90 feet and just stop at 3pt line. Richardson is pretty much just be a 3pt shooter in the starting lineup and he isn't a knockdown shooter. Harris is going to have to develop into that go to closer. There depth is better than last year, but doesn't compare to the other quality benches.
- Pacers you can say got better with Brogdon and Warren. But you are basically relying on VO to come back healthy and the same. I feel Pacers are a team that are VO and quality role players. Where the team should be a 3/4 seed, but lack the star power. If they had another star player, they could be a dangerous team.
- Boston chemistry should be better, best surrounding talent Kemba has had, and Hayward might start returning back to former self. But they are banking on Tatum to show All-Star Potential and Brown to become a viable Two Way Player. But I think the lost of Horford, Baynes, and Morris will have major effect. They essentially lose their rim Protection.
I think it is a drop off from there. Nets don't have high expections. 7/8 seed will most likely be slightly above 500Comment

76ers sign Raul Neto to a vet minimum deal.
I guess he fills the backup PG role. I don't really know what to expect from him. Checking his stats, he didnt get much minutesComment

Re: 2019 Offseason Thread
I figured that lol.
Options are very limited. I was kind of hoping they would go after Burke. He looked decent in Knicks before he was traded. Need someone off the bench who can create own shot.
They are capped out, so only moves they can make is vet min.
I would have been fine with TJ coming back. I just don't see him getting any valuable minutes. You have Brodgon, Joseph, and Holiday. He could have gotten more minutes in Philly. But ideally Sixers needed a backup Combo Guard who could hit spot up 3s. They need some who can run the offense with Simmons isn't on the court and be able to play alongside in some rotations.Last edited by illwill10; 07-03-2019, 08:48 PM.Comment

Re: 2019 Offseason Thread
Idk that I’m in full agreement here.. but I also don’t think Milwaukee loses to them again either.
It also depends on which LA team we are talking about out West. Joining Bron & AD is a lot different than joining Gallo and Lou.

This could just as easily say Raptors fans or Clippers fans too.

Re: 2019 Offseason Thread
I don't see Kawhi going to Clippers and them being title favorites. I think they assume that they weren't expected to make playoffs and brought GS to 6 games, so adding Kawhi should bring them over the hump. I think the Clippers are being compared to the Raptors. Where Raptors had good surrounding talent, they just needed that one guy to get them over the hump. Clippers are a team similar team, but not at Raptors levels. Raptors didn't have a second superstar, but they were a deep team. You know you have Lowry and Siakam who can take over games. Green still is a quality 3&D guy. Gasol can still make an impact. Ibaka and Van Fleet can have quality games. OG should help. While Clippers are a good team, I think they are full of quality role players. Unless you are banking on Gallo, Lou, and Shamet to your secondary scorers, Kawhi doesn't push them to Finals. But if they had Kawhi Plus another superstar, they would be title favorites.Comment

Re: 2019 Offseason Thread
We also dont know what Raptors will be like in playoffs in terms of health. While OG was only one out, Kawhi was playing on 1 leg basically while Lowry played with a broken hand(though shot better with broken hand lol).
They were banking on big buyout guys going to their team and ended up with Lin and Meeks. Could see some vets willing to take minimum to join them.
As crazy as it is to say, I think Kawhi will be better with LAL or Raptors next season than he was this past season.Comment
