2021 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: Media Day...SHENANIGANS

[N41D]

Moses Brown ain't that good but he's cheap and the best Mavs center since Tyson Chandler if we ain't counting KP.

Highlights gonna be absurd.

At a minimum he’s probably better than WCS and Powell immediately.

If KP’s legs don’t come back defensively, he’s immediately the Mavs best shot blocker and rim protector, too.

And young enough he’s got potential to pop off with Luka as a rim runner and maybe be a valuable piece in a deal later.

 

[Coupé It]

After we strike out Monday on Kyle Lowry, I'm all aboard taking him and Bagley for a mix of expirings and space

That’d be a good move for the Mavs honestly, wasn’t even thinking of that. Kings absolutely have to get rid of that contract.

But how can you pull off Bagley?

[N41D]

Is that possible? Dallas getting all these big men and leaning towards keeping WCS lol

Get some perimeter players for Christ sake. Been asking the same thing for 3 years now

If they don’t land a big FA, keeping WCS feels like a no brainer.

At $4m he’s easily moveable regardless.

I just hope they don’t sit around waiting in Lowry and Kawhi and let the rest of the market die out from under them.

Just need more good players.

I don't think Bagley has positive trade value right now and dude makes 11 million.

Him and his father have pretty much set any chance of him returning to Sac on fire. I think they would give him away for little to nothing.

Free agency starting on a Monday evening is weird. Lowry is going to be an interesting case. I feel like the Heat are going to end up getting him.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

16 is significant given their low volume of playoff games (61 vs 45) is significant, though. Thats 35% more playoff games.

Edit: They came in the League the same year and in the regular season the Wizards are 0.493 (41 win) team and Blazers are a 0.578 (47 win) team.

I was gonna say. That's like 4 years worth of 1st round sweeps

He's Jimmy's daughters godfather and the Heat have stuff the Raps would want in a sign and trade.

It was always Philly or Miami

My guess would be them or Philly.

Just closer to a title and it feels like that’s probably what he wants. He’s gonna get cashed out regardless.

I'm not mad at it. Still mad at the Curry trade, though

Thanks

Raps like Nunn and Herro?

I'm not mad at Bagley just frustrated at the lack of urgency over the years to address their clear need (at least it appears this way on the surface)

If or when they strike out on Monday sign the Dragic brothers and maybe DeKobe and call it a day. It's nice to build for the future but seriously it's frustrating as hell watching them like in this state man. From best offensive in the league to this

I would like to introduce prospective teams to Dennis Schroder in a sign and trade.

 

[storm2006]

This man truly believes in his heart of hearts that they are a tandem to be afraid of

But Beal hasn’t shown that he cares bout the losing or is miserable in DC …Ita the fans that feel “sorry” for him and recommended trade proposals from reporters and “sources” …Not everybody is going to win and not every player is pressed to jump teams just cuz of outside pressure

This type of thing is weird to me cuz ppl cry about super teams/ teaming up/ not winning on your own, but then want the same player to leave to a contending team so that they can win the same way they claim to not respect

I get not everyone is going to win and I personally never spoke about him being miserable but being a 36PPG, Supermax player and being content with losing is weird to me. Maybe he truly has faith in management. For me this just hits different than someone like Giannis who got a Supermax and said “Nah, I’m gonna stay, get this bag and we winning this strap fam.”

I know he doesn’t want to stay in Sac Town but I think there are definitely teams out there that have more to give up for Bagley than the Mavs.

Regardless tho, Hield would be a good pickup.

This is like getting with a fat chick and trying to sell yourself and the world that it's the greatest thing you ever did.

Lowry to Philly is a good move but then it really depends on what they get back for Benjamin if they’re a true contender or not IMO. I know folks will say that Lowry >= Ben so why wouldn’t they be the same but I think they still need one or two more solid players.

Mavs should go after Lonzo really hard.

Fat chicks give phenomenal.....you know what let me stop

I see your point tho

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Mavs should go after Lonzo really hard.

If it's going to take up significant cap space for several years it's kind of a tough debate and I still like Lonzo. ******* wish he had just a bit more sauce and wiggle smh

If dedicating cap space for several years, Powell or Trent first but I doubt Trent is leaving

 

[SneakerProSr.]

No we shouldn't
