**OFFICIAL 2019 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD**

[MVP]

Wish Beal was a free agent this summer

 

[extraordinary swag]

I know Rivers is the one who snitched about John Wall having a kid on the way and contributes to the hostile locker room but trading for a washed Ariza (who definitely would rather be with a winner) isn't gonna change a thing for the Wizards. I liked Oubre's effort even though his skillset needs a lot of work, has been a more reliable player than Otto Porter for the last year who is always hurt and never aggressive

 

[tatayniDarna]

Ariza really became of the most overrated player this season

he got massive credit for houston's collapse -early this year.

addition by subtraction, if reports are true- rivers really was a huge distraction in the wiz locker room.

 

[friscostylez]

Aww I’m sorry little guy. Must’ve struck a nerve. Toronto wiping the floor with your squad has you feeling a bit defensive.

My apologies.

Lol at you thinking I care about a regular season game. That's cute.

 

[tatayniDarna]

Kemba is def going to get a max, DMC will get a 2 yr bloated contract (team option)

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Kemba is playing his way out of a max contract

Kemba is playing his way out of a max contract

yeah, seems like he's gasping for air. i still think mike offers the max *shrugs*

If Ariza would have rather been with a winner, why did he chose the Suns in the first place? Was it a free agent signing?

He does, but in that same sense, he's not getting any blame for the Suns record this year.

 

[hardens beard]

Getting Ariza and trading Rivers helps the Wizards lockeroom.

There was a 0% chance Oubre was gonna be resigned and they saved money on next years salary cap.

.

Yes, he signed with the Suns as a FA this Summer. Maybe they offered him the most $ and he probably overestimated how good they could be with Booker and Ayton. That said, I found it an odd signing when it happened.

 

[pmatic]

Kemba gonna play free agency like Horford did. Offer the full five year max and I'll re-sign. Otherwise, I'm leaving.

 

[lawdog1]

^^^ That’s probably right, but I think the Hornets will give him what he wants, unlike what the Hawks did with Horford.

 

[nick.]

 

[lawdog1]

Damn. Aside from Wall and Beal, didn’t realize how awful the Wizards have been in the draft.

 

[dman14]

not many teams are good in the draft

 

[tatayniDarna]

meh hindsight is 20/20...basically unless you're the warriors within the last decade or so, you've made some poor draft choices tbh.

 

[nick.]

not many teams are good in the draft

Yeah but not that bad.

okc did well but ownership got cheap
spurs do pretty drafting late

not many other teams pop in my head

Yeah but not that bad.

i've lived through the warriors and their draft picks

My apologies.

We’ve been to 4 straight finals. We don’t care about a game in decmeber

 

[lawdog1]

Yeah but not that bad.

My Clippers have been pretty ****ty as well. Way more missed then hits. But in some cases, the question becomes whether it was really a bad pick or just failure of the team to develop a player after they were drafted. Unless it’s clear, can’t miss prospect like Tim Duncan, LeBron or AD, a guy’s success has a lot to do with the situation he ends up in.

 

[pmatic]

Ironically, the Lakers have gotten value on late picks (Clarkson/Nance/Kuzma/Hart) recently, but the lotto picks haven't generated the value one hopes for.

yeah true, presti did very well, matter of fact in terms of eyeing talents - he's better than myers. ibaka, adams, harden, kd , and westbrook. keeps hitting that home run.

wonder which players he wouldve drafted in 2014-2017 if he was with the lakers

We have so much money tied up in bums I don't know how were going to pay him

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Oubre was a black hole 3 and D....that's slightly below average from the 3...that's going to get grossly overpaid this summer. Good riddance.
