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

[Vincent Van Goat]

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

That's what I'm saying breh.... Mavs offseason has been pretty bad tbh

Sad times for Luka

Lonnie Walker might be a better dart than McGee, they got the same number

JaVale is a winning player,Drummond not so much.

 

[QU!K]

Who's everyone?

People in positions of hiring and voting. Fans of franchises.

Made Top 75
Head Coach of Nets
Head Coach of Bucks
Assistant Coach on Lakers
Head Coach in Dallas

My point, is that although he has a scumbag past himself. He didn’t get “Cancelled” for it.

Seems like people kinda forgot

 

[dacomeup]

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

All he had to say is that Utah is about to tear it all down and rebuild. Jesus

 

[blakep267]

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

Mitchell will stay and they’ll get rid of gobert

I can't believe I used to listen to his trash *** podcast

They’ll both be gone is my bet.

Bontemps going at him makes it worth the occasional listen

I think if it happened in today's environment it would be a different story.

No difference in roles or impact last season. Drummond is also SIX years younger.

It makes no sense

 

[getback]

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

Celtics have a $17M TPE they'll probably use once the Durant dust settles.

Hopefully there’s one thing out there. They need a PG

Another disappointing off-season for the Mavs

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

If Cavs can keep Sexton and get another shooter they'll be good to go

Nah. Need a wing scorer.

McMahon makes the podcast.

[Vincent Van Goat]

Banned McMahon is fine but I'll stick to just monitoring his Twitter

Them dudes just be talking to talk

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

And there it is

Lacob must be sticking to Poole and Wiggins and letting everyone else go

Owners aint trying to pay all these taxes

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)

KD played 1 less game than AD in those comparable years. KD averaged 29 had he not got hurt he was going to finish top 3 in the MVP voting. He is/was better

 

[datznasty]

Rubio swore up and down he was going back to Spain to raise his kid(s).

Lugentz Dort got his money, 5yrs 87.5Ms. Kind of high maybe, but I can find comps plus he played 3 yrs for under 5mil total previous total so you feel kinda like you owe him

 

[antidope]

James Wiseman gotta be ready to play with all this going on.

 

[king j]

How many wings do the Raptors need jeez

He’s a bigger asset bc he has 4 years left on contract
