Exclusive The OFFICIAL 2019 NBA Offseason Thread

Skal averaged 18.5 and 20.7 minutes his first two seasons in the league. It was only this past season he fell out of the rotation. Context seems fine.

 

And we're gonna smash they asses just like we did last season WITHOUT Nurk and they were fully healthy.

Their Center is soft, STILL can't play D, and we gon' bust they ASS if we see them in the playoffs.

 

Maybe Jokic will come back in the fall looking like a young Dolph Lungren. I doubt it, the boy seems to like his meat and 'taters.

 

Is that Zach Lowe? Let’s take a look back to his article last offseason when he said Portland would implode and he only had them in the playoffs because of Jimmy Butlers trade request (his words.) I fucking hate the national media so much.

 

I wanna see if we can pry Beasley.

 

I hope to see them again, that was a really fun series to watch.

 

That's not possible. From what I've read on a message board, I've come to the conclusion that only Olshey would give out a contract like that.

 

So, Denver is trading their 2020 first round pick to OKC for Jerami Grant. That's a pretty significant trade IMO

for one thing, it could be a strong signal OKC is tossing in the towel and giving up on their current team. It may mean they have the bones of a Westbrook trade in place..or at least the x-rays

on the other end, this makes Denver quite a bit deeper and better. Grant is the type of versatile forward who can do a passable job of defending a guy like AD and somebody like Kawhi or Paul George. He's also a threat from three as he shot over 39% last season. A 3&D stretch-4 which is the rage these days. And, he's a candidate to be the long term replacement at PF for Millsap.

while Portland was adding Hezjona and Tolliver after losing Mo and Aminu, Denver was adding Grant. Unless Hezonja has a MIP type season, the Nuggets have done better

 

Oh god no. Our summer league guards suck. Say no to Stokes. Robinson is a long way from contributing in the NBA, if ever. Even Hoard isn't NBA ready. Need to see more of the Dauminator, maybe give him a two-way and find out.

 

And the next is gone

 

Yeah there’s no way in hell the roster is going to be filled out by summer league players. They’ll find some vets on minimums. Only question is who and whether they add one or two. My guess is two because we’re already down one guy.

 

He got significantly more than the minimum so it wasn’t really an option.

 

I hate Westbrick as much as the next guy. That said, can you imagine him coming into the game off the bench and just decimating the other team's backups?

What's impossible to imagine though is him being okay with being a backup LOLOLOL

 

Interesting though. I wonder how he'd do as a SF. His shot is undependable, but there would be no more double teaming Dame. Double Dame and Westbrick would get the ball and have free reign to the basket. Collapse on his drive and two guys would be open for a three.

 

This is like Lebron joining the Pelicans now...boogie...ad and rondo....

 

So projecting our capspace for next year, if we simply let 46 mil go (Bazemore/Whiteside), and Hood leaves, we'll be left with:

Dame (32 mil)
CJ (29 mil)
Nurk (13 mil)
Collins (5 mil)
Simons (2 mil)
Little (2 mil)
Trent (2 mil)

dead salary (5 mil)

It's about 90 mil, so we'd have about 20-25 mil of capspace. I wonder if we can work out some unbalanced trades. I know the FA class is weak, but this summer has shown us that we can work imbalanced trades for guys who are souring on their situations. Really need to be prudent if we want to add salary this summer past 2020.

 

Lakers are getting Avery Bradley. They filled our their roster quite nicely tbh.

Jabari Parker got 6.5M, surprising to me.

JaMychal Green 2/10 to LAC...

 

And his Flop Jacks
