NBA Offseason Discussion Thread

To be fair, Tamia gets to unretire which he has said for years he has been promising her, but I hadn't seen that report today

It's a fluke, dude. MY BAD.

Fuckin' Hollinger...

Looks like that Dwight deal fell apart. On NBA TV they brought up a great point on how OKC should try and get in on trying to get Howard and do a deal centered around Harden and probably Ibaka. Would be pretty stupid for Howard to say no I don't wanna play with Durant and Westbrook.

 

[LaBrandon Aldridge]

I dunno, I don't really see OKC doing that unless it becomes apparent to them that they can't re-sign both to contracts that would be financially suitable to their team.

 

[SAIYANS]

Howard ain't giving up Addidas money though. They have his ass bent over for a big market in LA or NY. He gets less for Chicago than those two and no bonus at all for staying. Lmao at the agent skills

 

[SAIYANS]

If Mich forces Dwight to LA and basically forces him to extend this graphic is true

 

[LaBrandon Aldridge]

Dwight to the Nets is dead. The only fitting to this crazy-ass saga is, well...Dwight re-signing in Orlando.

Dorrel Wright shipped to Sixers

The Warriors have traded Dorell Wright to the 76ers for the draft rights to an international player. Golden State has long sought a trade of Wright. The deal frees up $4 million in cap space and now have approximately $8 million in room before reaching the luxury tax. Golden State can now use their mid-level and bi-annual exceptions.

You'd have to think with Evan Turner in the fold, the signing of Nick Young, the drafting of Maurice Harkless & now this trade that they have to be moving Andre Iguodala soon.

The Sixers are trying to win. They won't be trading their best player in his contract year.

Looks like Kobe started something saying this USA team would beat the dream team. He's saying cause they are young and how Magic and Bird weren't in their prime but Barkley, MJ, Ewing, David Robinson, Malone, etc were all in their prime and would kill them if for no other reason this years team has no big men who could content with theirs.

edit: idk why I said Hakeem

I hear Kaman signed with Dallas.

Hakeem alone would embarrass them.

Kobealso said he is the best post player on the team and Melo is second and they could "school" anyone. It's called being cocky.

I doubt they could school MJ and Pip, but Magic and Bird sure as they weren't great 1 on 1 defenders

Cocky yet wrong. I mean they got a lot of talent on this team but like I said Dream Team had so many amazing big men that all they would have to do do everytime was throw the ball down to their bigs and they'd rape them. Then of course Micheal would still be the best player on the floor. Just can't see this team overall beating the dream team.

 

[AF.]

Would have liked to see Dwight at Brooklyn. Nets would have been up there with Lakers, Heat and Thunder IMO.

Going to be an interesting season, you would think either the Thunder, Lakers or Heat will be taking it. Can't think of any other teams aside from Boston who will be contending with these teams.

Also, are these legit? They look great

 

[SAIYANS]

Yeah. The black away jersey is some good looking shit. I ain't bought a jersey in years but i would rock it

Barkely got pissed, went on a rant, and said the only ones on this team that could ever even keep up with the Dream Team was Kobe, Durant, and Bron in this group.

I think people just are over looking the zoin being legal, the fact the dream team faced no competition, and the fact Magic, Bird, and Lateener are obvious chinks. Only Michael and Scottie could defend and score on tis perimeter. It's the interior that would get killed though.

I will say this though, the Redeem Team smokes the Dream Team
