2020-21 NBA Offseason thread: Officially a wrap

Wizards so stupid. Why would any team want Russell Westbrook

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

He won't waste entire possesions trying to prove he's the man.

You can still leave him to double harden who'll just take himself out the play

Knicks should have made a move.

Trading for Wall (after injury) or current Russ at those contracts would be the most Knick move ever.

Especially, right before a very stacked draft. You either go all in and get two guys or build slowly. One guy isnt moving any needle and you'll be stuck in purgatory again.

The Rockets definitely aren't seeing this first round pick

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

KD, PG, now Harden. When do we get to have THAT conversation about Westbrook

Same convo can be had about James tho

 

[antidope]

We need to have THAT conversation about Harden too....Dwight,CP3,and now Russ

Not the same caliber of player walking away from Harden though. KD and Harden walking away from a guy>>>>

Russ alone drags the player quality average down to where its not an argument

 

[tramericanjr]

Wall is for sure better for Harden. Much higher IQ and not as terrible of a shooter.

Wall ain’t play in 2 years ... we don’t know what he can do ....

C'mon bruh

 

[addict4sneakers]

young jefe homes

 

[tramericanjr]

Wall > Russ

How Rui and Deni supposed to develop with him on the team?

Beal trade request before AllStar

How wall played the last 2 years for you to come up with that .... Westbrook is on the decline but at least we know what we’re getting

 

[ballinsam23]

Wall ain’t play in 2 years ... we don’t know what he can do ....

It's worth the gamble. His IQ is much higher and he wont do dumb **** on possessions. Even on one leg he actually makes his teammates better.

Having Russ on your team is a ticking time bomb.

Cause John Wall hasn’t played in 2 years and who knows what he’s gonna be bedsides a
Red Flag wearer

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Go Warriors!

 

[nick.]

Rockets just officially released their blue unis a few minutes ago

 

[Figured it out]

Walls passing ability /IQ is being disrespected in here lol

PG had his best season next to Russ...KD is the best player but everyone else is a wash.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Thats literally the only highlight of his career.

"Literally"

danger style

 

[kingjay718]

Pour some out for the end of John Wall's Wiz tenure:

That second dougie was so dope. Wall had then fluid hood before his injuries. That 2011 all star weekend was so dope in general

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Buffalo Rockets

I dont know. A no salary cap would significantly help say Steve Ballmer. He'd spend $350M to win a ring. He's playing with different type of money than almost all of the other owners. Nobody would outbid him

What I'm suggesting is keeping the team salary cap but getting rid of max contracts. Teams would be able to pay top players like LeBron or KD $60m but they would still be held to the $109m salary cap ($132m luxury tax). If the Lakers had AD and LeBron both making $50m+ per year, The rest of the roster would be very thin. This would make it near impossible to have more than two superstars on a team unless they were willing to give up tens of millions of dollars per season to team up

At his best he was never better than Russ
