[ official ] 2016 summer moves

One is a 6'3" PG and the other a SF, both have played internationally. they would be free agent signings, not draftees. Maybe just looking for guys to fill out the summer team. Or if they made two massive free agent signings, to try to fill out the team after trading and renouncing to clear space?

 

It's not as crazy as you make it sound.

Per Draftexpress, they are almost identical in size and age. Coty has more weight and is stronger:
Coty Clarke -> HT 6' 6" WT 239 Wing 7' 1" Standing 8' 8.5" Max Vert 31.5 Age 23 (born '92)
Crabbe -> HT 6' 6.25" WT 197 Wing 6' 11.25" Standing 8' 7.5" Max Vert 36.0 Age 24 (born '92)

And Coty has much better stats at comparable skill levels:


Then here is
Allen's



So based on the stats, Coty is a better 3pt shooter, better rebounded, averages more steals, generally has a higher TS%, and has a higher WS/40. They are about the same in Assists, blocks, and TOs. A lot of times the difference between players is just getting the right opportunity.

A lot of 2nd round picks may have comparable college stats to Crabbe. Doesn't mean theyll be like Crabbe

 

Your right. They could likely become much better.

 

My right? I have the right to do what?

 

Neil actually tried to sign Buycks a few summers ago but he choose the Raptors over the Blazers.

 

Interesting quote; I know a lot of people on here have been assuming there will be a lot of money thrown around. But he is right; there will be a better free agent class coming up. And, unlike the Blazers, a lot of teams will still have cap space next year.
Mark Cuban: "Every player thinks it's just going to be a money train this summer. There's a lot of money; there's not THAT much money. ... And I think there's going to be teams that save their money for next year, because it's a better free agent class. People just presume now that everybody's going to get paid a lot of money, and it'll be interesting to see if that happens."

Good. Maybe that means we get dwight while keeping harkless, crabbe, and leonard then.

 

Listening to Daryl Morey with Woj: he thinks 20 of the 30 picks of the first round will be made by teams who don't want that player. He foresees tons of movement all over the draft by teams both looking to get in and out of the draft.

Lotsa good discussion on free agency now and their vision.

Yes, or someone else that fills our needs.

 

They actually compare him more to Draymond Green. He can stretch the floor, put it on the floor, pass, and has enough bulk to hold his own down low.

 

Who are you saying compares to Draymond?

His response was to me when I said that Coty Clarke would be a good replacement for Crabbe. I think Coty would be better than Crabbe if given a chance. However, I don't see him being a Draymond type.

 

We need a backup pg and I hope we get one on the FA market rather than trying to find a "diamond in the rough" in these FA camps.

I'm still on the Dellavedova bandwagon.

 

Errick McCollum

 

fuck that guy
total crap

 

No....they might actually be able to dribble.

I'm not saying....one of the reviews said he has some Draymond Green like characteristics.

http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Coty-Clarke-65470/
Clarke took full advantage of his opportunity, providing the Red Claws with Draymond Green-esque versatility on both sides of the ball, resulting in two 10-day contracts with the Celtics. With Maine spreading the floor, Clarke played both stretch big spots at 6' 6” 239 pounds and fits the pass, dribble, shoot mantra that's become increasingly important in the NBA.

 

Although i like whiteside and horford, these are the reasons id rather go all in on howard. Horford and whiteside are gonna have so many suitors and just as easily could stay (whiteside is trickier with miamis cap). We know howard is leaving, so the question is where to? His mentor already acknowledged we are a good fit, he seems to be friendly with lillard whenever they see each other, neil could sell him, and i think it would mean a lot to howard if we came out and were at his doorstep july 1st at 12:01am.

 

Agreed. Wasting time on the biggest targets isn't a smart move, IMO. Not that I'm high on Howard, but I'm also not that high on Whiteside...and even setting that aside he seems like a total long-shot for us. Better to spend those precious first few hours on someone more realistic.
