2021 Offseason Thread

Raptors coach Nick Nurse is being sued by his former agency for breach of contract.

I'm no lawyer, but from some of the lines I read, sounds like they had some sort of oral agreement and that's what they're suing him over. And also saying he didnt disclose how much he signed his deal for with the Raptors so they couldn't determine how much they were supposed to be paid from him.

I mean, if they're his agent, isn't negotiating a deal and knowing how much your client is getting kind of the main part of your job?

Suns assistant Willie Green has emerged as strong front-runner to become Pelicans' next head coach - Woj

He's been around for a while.

Came into the league same year as LeBron and played until 2015.

Cliffnotes:

- 76ers have officially begun trade talks around Simmons and are looking for an all star caliber player in return. Interest in Simmons around the league is "robust".

- It's believed that John Collins may get a max offer in free agency, with Miami, Minnesota, Dallas, and San Antonio expected to pursure him. Those teams think Atlanta may let him walk rather than matching.

- The Knicks are aggressively pursuing Collin Sexton.

- Houston is aggressively trying to trade up to #1 and are separately trying to find a trade for Eric Gordon.

- Chicago and the Clippers are expected to pursue Lonzo Ball and New Orleans will likely let him leave if he receives a significant offer.

Just please don’t let this end with us taking back Kevin Love.

Dawg, I can’t stop laughing my *** off at that gif. 2K physics looking crazy from my man lmao

Not sure why Miami would be interested in Collins considering they just locked up Bam to an extension. That’d be a lot of money tied up in that front court it would seem like.

All seems very likely. Hoping for a Philly trade that maximizes Joel's prime window.

With the draft in 2 weeks, likely start seeing some of the trades on Draft week. I don't see Collins or Ball being matched but can see them being overpaid

Sign me up for Sexton.

Knicks garbage + the 21st pick and a future 2nd.
