⭐ OFFICIAL 2020-2021 NBA Off-Season Thread: Olympics begin 7/23; NBA Draft 7/29⭐

[Brosizzlew30.23]

I thought that’s what they used the #2 pick in the draft for...

Not sure if they're willing to wait for him to develop. Wiseman too young, too raw to hold down the starting center role throughout the season let alone the playoffs. By keeping their core of Steph, Klay, and Dray together it's likely they want to contend now. Wiggins is definitely trade bait for the right piece.

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Biggest “issue” is that Drummond is an expiring while Wiggins has two more years left after this one.

But it could be fitting for Cleveland to acquire Wiggins. After all the Cavs originally drafted him. A leading role with the Cavs could propel him and give his career new life.

For GSW, Drummond steps right in at starting C, allowing Wiseman to develop and learn from Drummond

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

I think Harden more like the Alfred lol. Kyrie and KD the one's who got the shiny hardware

I definitely thought about the Wiggins going back to the team that drafted him part I would need one of the salary cap guys in here to explain it to me but when Drummond does expire this summer would GSW even be able to use that space to sign anyone else (I believe they’ll be over the cap even without his $29MM)?

If GSW already has Drummond and Wiseman and Paschall, then it makes me think what might happen to Dray and his outrageous contract.

I'm sure Myers could find a taker and unload Green as well as sorry a** Looney to clear cap space.

A lineup of Steph, Klay, Oubre, Drummond, Paschall, Wiseman, Wannamaker, Lee, Mulder, Poole, Bazemore will be playoff competitive.

So you’re saying the only way they would benefit long-term from a Wiggins-Drummond swap is if they unload Draymond for an expiring too? I know a taker that’s thirsty for some Draymond Green....

If they need to clear cap space then I'd say yeah. Dray is still effective, but is he worth the price tag if you got the 2 best shooters in the league still in their prime and you trying to stay a contender while building pieces around them?

I wonder who Por would have to give up for Draymond, hmm..

This is crazy to think about


29 owners led an ALA-fueled insurrection over the Lakers pairing CP3 with Kobe. That whole situation was bizarre. The stars had to align for that trade to NOT go through.

CP3/Kobe/Bynum would have been very damn interesting. If they could have grabbed the 1 and avoided having to play both the Thunder AND Spurs then they would have had a legitimate shot at the Finals for sure.

Kyrie won’t be there for a while. Whenever he returns he’s the one that’s gonna have to fall In Line

Don't do this fam

 

[pums]

The rockets have guards who cant shoot, bigs who cant defend and small wings.

 

[3god]

This James Harden as an insurance policy talk is ludicrous! He is much better than Kyrie. If anything, he makes Kyrie expendable, and is the superior replacement to him.

That’s what they want, don’t you get it? They are rebuilding. They need lottery picks.

 

[antidope]

I would love to see what Sam Presti thinks of all this being that at this point all three of these guys have played together in some form post them all playing together in OKC.

“Luka doesn’t play defense”

2 Steals and 4 Blocks later...

We using steals and blocks to measure defensive talent? It’s 2021 not 2001 famb.

If I'm giving up all those draft picks I would of asked for house too.
Need those small contracts for impact players on a big 3.
Brooklyn's bench gonna be trash without Spencer

Real rap doe - dudes like Dan Gilbert were crying about CP3, a 33 y/o Kobe, YOLO Bynum and a 32 y/o MWP “ruining the competitive balance of the league”. That **** was egregious famb and you know it. It worked out in the last KD when you consider they ultimately got Lebby and AD but that was some Playa Haters Ball ****.

The Proud Boys cut in that photo ages him a bit.
