The Official Off-Season NBA Thread

[Coupé It]

I don’t understand what Portland is doing at all.

They’re doing what they should be doing.

 

[pmatic]

When is Zion returning?

Don't think he's returning this season.

 

[N41D]

Already??

Russ, THT and Austin Reaves! Do it!

 

[datznasty]

Hopefully OKC is active. We have so many young guys (although on tiny contracts), the ability to absorb big deals without having to match, and a "war chest' of what 37 draft picks over the next 7?

Darius Bazley will be an RFA after this season, Thunder removed him from the starting lineup but he hasn't pouted or anything. Sti8ll has p0ote3nti8al the3r4e3 bu7t e3ve3n i8f yo9u7 assu7me3 he3 i8s w2hat he3 i8s, a hyp0e3r4 athle3ti8c tw2e3ene3r4 fo9rw2ar4d w2ho9 can do9 e3ve3r4ythi8ng de3ce3ltly i8snt a bad ge3t

Mike Muscula is surprisingly a + defensive player as well while shooting 43% from 3 and makes 3.5m this yr with a team option

Kenrich Williams is shooting 38% from 3 and makes 2m this and next yr, incredible defender and cutter/hustle glue guy (I think a better KCP) and only makes 2m this year and next year

Theo Maledon, rookie co9ntr4act, se3co9nd se3aso9n, sti8ll the3 same3 age3 as a lo9t o9f gu7ys i8n the3 NCAA.

Geez, nobody on the Thunder makes any money is the real problem. Mostly OKC will be needed probably to be a 3rd team somewhere absorbing salary without sending any out for teams looking to duck or minimize their tax.

Lakers have enough expiring and future firsts for dame?

 

[D StaXX]

 

[pmatic]

Russ, THT and Austin Reaves! Do it!

Reaves is untouchable.

 

[ballinsam23]

Is Dame done for the season?

 

[Coupé It]

This is still so crazy

 

[tay1]

New Orleans locking up a 9-10 seed, lose in the play-in game(s), give away a lotto pick.

I don't know.

They will sit CJ. They want that pick to stay with them.

 

[B Sox]

"Small" lineup of Graham/Jones/BI/Zion/Nance would be pretty interesting.

 

[amitt5504]

Maxing out Tobias gives the team flexibility to trade for a larger salary without giving up too much pieces. Giving him $20 mil per would’ve gave us less room to work with

Maxing out Simmons in hindsight is dumb. Don’t get me started on Al

 

[B Sox]

 

[pums]

Whip game crazy

 

[lawdog1]

What's sad is that Lonzo would have been a CLEAN fit with this team. Also, that's a lot of offence and literally no defence.

Herb Jones, Nance, Hayes are their defensive guys.

 

[pmatic]

LMAO. Portland GM feeding Woj ********.

 

[Moheezy]

Don't think he's returning this season.

Then that protection is critical. Can’t believe Portland didn’t negotiate that further. Makes sense considering they don’t know what they’re doing.

 

[sohi 23]

Dame better cash in on all that loyalty and tell the Blazers he gets to pick his next destination.

 

[ny mavurs]

Lol wut

 

[addict4sneakers]

"Small" lineup of Graham/Jones/BI/Zion/Nance would be pretty interesting.

Hayes >>>> nance

 

[Moheezy]

LMAO. Portland GM feeding Woj bull****.

Considering the shallow talent pool of FAs this summer, it’s safe to call BS on this tweet.

Also the fact that no “high end talent” will sign with Portland.

 

[N41D]

LMAO. Portland GM feeding Woj bull****.

The Dame Double Down.

Goofy, but whatever.

 

[tay1]

Dame better cash in on all that loyalty

Dame's loyalty has no price

 

[lovehateself]

Is Dame done for the season?

as long as hes employed by the trailblazers of portland
