NBA Offseason Discussion Thread

[Dademo]

People that aren't going to watch the NBA this season because of the way the negotiations went are stupid. Who cares? Negotiations are over. The season will begin soon, just enjoy Basketball. I'm also sick of the people saying "Basketball is back... I don't give a shit". Then don't say anything, people who say that really aren't basketball fans.

Some pretty ass backwards logic to not watch just because of that since that is the reason people have been bitching to just get the league going.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

Lack of loyalty it shows but then again I refused to watch the business side of basketball during the lockout. I just want sports, dammit.

Was just looking at this to see who is gonna be FA's this year Some NBA free agents to watch

Where do you see some of these guys going?

The two guys I see staying with their teams for sure is Tyson Chandler and Gasol. Would be a mistake to let Chandler go after the year he had for the Mavs. The Bulls a team who has really needed a SG since Gordan left they have some good ones to pick from so I see them picking up either J-Rich or JR Smith.

 

[No More Sorrow]

Agreed. Don't see either of them changing teams. I could see Nene getting a lot of offers from other teams.

 

[PHX]

Nene seemed like according to some reports that he wanted to move on somewhere else for whatever reason I don't see him coming back to Denver. Since trading Perk Boston obvious needs a big man and Nene would be a nice addition though Tyson Chandler would be scary with that team.

 

[No More Sorrow]

Yeah Boston lacks big man depth for sure, I'd love to have Nene on the team.

 

[Dademo]

The Knicks will attempt to get a Center for sure. Chandler and Gasol will most likely stay on their respective teams but they will offer contracts to Nene or Samuel Dalembert for sure. The only thing left I gotta say is Jamal Crawford is going to be a HUGE addition to where he's signed. He's a bench player because of Joe Johnson, and I doubt he's going to sign back to the Hawks. He's a legit all-star and is one of the most underrated guys in the NBA. I think he'll go to Chicago or Miami, and whichever place, he's going to help them greatly.

 

[PHX]

Wouldn't say Jamal is all star worthy but guy can shoot his ass off and one of the better shooters in the league. Will make for a good starter somewhere or be another great bench player for a contender.

 

[SAIYANS]

Word is that LA wants to go after Lewis and Davis if hey are amnestied. Also Miller may be cut by Miami

 

[PHX]

Just wondering who Phoenix or if Phoenix is gonna go after anyone in free agency, and also hope and want them to not keep Vince Carter. JD got the starting job at SG anyways.

 

[SAIYANS]

Here is the deal, players got 51.5% this year and a lot of the little system issues

 

[Kiffy Lube]

I'm not reading that.
