2022 NBA Offseason Thread: Preseason kicks off; Things are fine in Los Angeles, Draymond beats the charges

HYPOTHETICALLY speaking, if the Hornets pulled the qualifying offer from Miles Bridges and made him an unrestricted free agent, would another team sign him and how soon?

Lakers would give him 90 mil pretty quickly

If Denver would have just kept Cousins instead of getting Jordan I would say they had been flawless

As is, if Murray is healthy they'll be contenders

Gordon will go back to playing a proper role and Porter at this point is just their wild card

Perfect time for the Knicks to deal Randle to Charlotte for Hayward.

PJ got paid for holding KD to under 50 in a series and watching Giannis lead the bucks to a chip
Next yr got in a roster that was a 1 seed
He plays hard and makes a hustle play every so often, but at that price
Ultimate finesse

I forgot Colin sexton existed. I wonder where he goes

This is where you're wrong: exhibit A with Bruce Brown

Miami is the obvious answer

Nets( for obvious reasons), and the Celtics really not doing anything

as I was reading this tweet, the quote about KD being one of the biggest trade assets ever really stuck out to me. Is Kevin Durant a bigger trade asset than Anthony Davis was in 2019? Will KD get a bigger trade package in return than New Orleans God for Anthony Davis?

In 2019, Anthony Davis was 25 years old coming off of back-to-back 1st team all NBA seasons (remember that he didn't make al NBA in 2019 because New Orleans said him after he demanded the trade).

Contrast that with KD who is going to be 34 going into year 15 when the season starts and, In my opinion, has shown that he's slowing down physically.

The big difference is the contract situation, AD was going into the final year of his contract and KD has 4 years remaining (although honoring contracts it doesn't mean much anymore)

Everyone at that desk thought he was going somewhere with relation to KD ...

And all he did was cryptically talk about Utah and Danny Ainge and say absolutely nothing. lol

House (minimum), Rubio, Brown and Ingles all signed for the 6.5 exception

I'm going to assume Dallas had no chance at signing them... but... McGee taking that slot... it kind of hurts seeing those other guys getting the same damb thing

Not to mention Drummond got the minimum... and Cousins still out there...

 

[amitt5504]

Windy has a legit point tho. Don and Baguette Biyombo might be on the way out and you might get a bigger haul than what Brooklyn might get for KD

 

[ill steelo]

How is Drummond a minimum salary guy while Javale is getting full MLEs?

2nd off-season in a row for Drummond. I still don’t get it

Cs only have the TMLE (most guys have gone for more other than Bruce Brown). Probably waiting for the KD chip to fall before doing anything with the Fournier TPE. They're in a good position to absorb someone's unwanted contract to facilitate a trade there.

A master class and talking for a long time, dropping hints and then making no point at all yet coming off a smart and insightful.

man looking at the available players and who can actually be traded to the Nets, maybe it's best for KD and the Nets to kiss and make up....(and move Kyrie )

Windhorst is an asthmatic menace

$6Ms for Rubio is a good deal if he has anything
