2020-21 NBA Offseason thread: Officially a wrap

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Clippers and bucks need to make some serious moves

 

[reformeDWS]

The organization's mismanagement of everything since Tilman bought the team is extremely frustrating. Gutted a 65 win team by being cheap, forced the GM to trade away assets to salary dump, caved to the superstar's demand against the GM's wishes and traded away CP for Russ. Complete organizational failure by a controlling owner that doesn't have the money to compete.

adding to this. It's a player's league. if a guy wants out, let him out. do right by the players and it'll come back to you. OKC realized they hit their ceiling and preemptively tore it down. tearing it down early instead of holding out hope and keeping it together will keep you in ruin longer. Now OKC has a run of picks and quality players.

If James and Russ both want out, don't fret about getting "the best" return. Just get the best return you can and position yourself to be like the nets where you can be a destination because of picks, players, and assets that a couple of stars would want to team up in your city.

Unfortunately, as long as Tilman is in charge, I don't think FAs are going to want to team up in Houston no matter the amount of picks and players we have.

Presti is going to flip Danny Green for a couple of seconds or a late first too.

Houston may blow it up but looks like the most valuable picks going forward by far are going to be their own. They're going to have to hit a couple home runs in the draft with all those cracks at it.

Uhmmm give him that blue check?

 

[QU!K]

Damn CP3 in Phoenix?

 

[tomdiginson]

Dem tattoos right there ....chef kiss

I would fat up her belly. Granted she hit's other check boxes.

 

[reconic supreme]

What would it take for BK to land Harden?

Would BK offer Spencer AND Lavert ??

an act of god

 

[lovehateself]

pacific division gonna be nasty

group of death

They should be a playoff team next season so they'll keep that pick, by the time 2024 rolls around Book going to be a UFA so they'll know where they stand at that point. Clock was already ticking on that they got 3 seasons basically to show him they're trying to compete. CP0 at least puts that in a good direction for now.

If the mandate is to make the playoffs, then I guess. OKC is likely getting their 22 or 23 pick though in loaded drafts. They’re in a tough situation because another year of losing and Book probably wants out, but I think OKC def won this deal.

 

[RustyShackleford]

I think they gave up too much for Paul.

Most I would be willing to give up is Oubre, the #10 pick, and this...

Uhmmm give him that blue check?

John Hollinger and Zach Lowe called this trade a couple of weeks ago.

And your racist self still not banned. Methodical Management darthska kdawg

John Hollinger and Zach Lowe called this trade a couple of weeks ago.

Called as in a possibility or confirmed?

 

[frshstunna]

Pour Oubre...From DC to Phoenix, now Oklahoma

 

[rolaholic]

Betrayed

Dude really thought Stevens would force him into his plans just cause of the Butler ties

Little did he know they had better wings in the team already

 

[B Sox]

Gallo or Jerami Grant to the Suns in free agency, me thinks.

Looks like they'll have $20M or so in cap space as well as the non-taxpayer MLE at $9.2M. Might be able to bring on both.

 

[kingjay718]

Yep it’s done. Perhaps James Jones clips CP3 at the trade deadline and he goes further west to the Lakers?

 

[kingjay718]

They gave up Kelly Oubre! SMH! That dude was thriving in PHX. Wow.

 

[lovehateself]

Uhmmm give him that blue check?

They were the first to bring it up as a possibility that the Suns should think about.

I’m just reading the tea leaves. If he’s right on Sixers getting rid of Harris contract and Al I’m all for it lol

 

[ny mavurs]

WHY DID THEY TRADE OUBRE

NBA off-season always better than regular season

Fair but that’s different than actually saying it happened a day before it could be announced lol I’m not vouching but he’s looking legit. Still weary but I want his Sixers news to be true
