NBA Offseason |OT| "It's a complete shit move, but we're stuck with it now"

Barnes is trash.
Iggy is great, though even he can't fully balance out Barnes being a wasteman.
Problem is with the crazy amount of money 20 teams with 30+ million in cap space - Mozgov's gonna get borderline Kevin Love money. I think the Cavs future is having Love / Thompson / LeBron as the bigs, and Kyrie / LeBron / JR / etc as wings.
Problem is I don't know where they get their PG if they trade Rose. I think Butler is on the best contract in the NBA (since he's on a decreasing deal that's at 15 million or so soon...he'll be making less than Ezeli by the end of FA); so you don't trade him. If you believe Mirotic can play SF, then your starting 5 is Gibson, Snell, Mirotic, Butler, and insert PG with cap space? Maybe throw the max at Conley if they can offload Rose? (CHI may have the max without Rose now, hell, if Gasol and Noah sign elsewhere)

This offseason feels so good and wonderful after winning a championship.
CavsGAF: who are we replacing Delly with? I expect the Pistons and Bucks to offer him somewhere in the 10 mill per range so he's gone. We need two wings but lack a lot of cap space to get them.

Jazz are in a ton of trouble with the contracts they are going to have to hand out in the next few years. They've got a ton of good pieces, but do you want to pay them all max or near max money when they haven't gotten to the playoffs yet? I'm sure they would love to make a deal.
you're gonna spend the vets minimum on some old guy who wants to ride off in the sunset, realize, that in fact, if he's on the cavs, he's going to actually have to play because they have hardly any good backups, and do really well in the playoffs

What the fuck? Delly getting 10 mil per year? I have no idea what to expect this free-agency.

People smarter than me seem to think that decent starters are going to get about $15M per year so 10 for Delly makes some sense.
I think he's gonna get at least 15 mil
I'm pretty sure 20 teams have enough money for a max contract this year
lmao what
there's no fucking way he gets paid 15 million, god damn mo williams was playing over him in the finals.
I don't think you understand how stupid NBA GMs will be with the amount of cap space they have. And if you were the Nets, and you had no other option because you owe your pick to the Celtics anyway....
NBA free agency is going to be crazy this year
Delly getting 15 Million... Nobody wants IT Crowder and Bradley making 7-9 million a year.
I definitely understand, and the Nets will pay a guy like Lin $15m a year, not Delly.
Lin is probably going to get more then 15 tbh

I think the new Nets GM is going to be smart enough to not give huge contracts to middling players.
Odds are better that Durant is a Celtic then Delladova getting 15 per...

Amazing to think that just a few years ago, people were bitching about Lin getting 3 years 25 million as a potential starter when his current market value now as a backup starts at 15 mil a year..

Horford's not the ideal C I'd want but beggars can't be choosers so if drop a max on him in a heartbeat.

Does a 30 year old Al Horford really make sense for the Lakers?
WOJBOMB!

George Hill to the Jazz as part of that deal.

Bradley to Atlanta for Korver and Al comes to Boston to be with his bro

Ainge is letting Bradley go most likely , he got injured at the worst time and Ainge is loaded with guards , unless someone actually wants Smart

Utah sent the #12 pick to the Hawks in that deal. If that's all they gave up in the end that's a great deal.
i don't care if bradley gets traded but lol at trading him for a 35 y/o Korver in hopes that it attracts Horford.Ainge is letting Bradley go most likely , he got injured at the worst time and Ainge is loaded with guards , unless someone actually wants Smart
He is a free agent after 1 year. Wait they gave the pick lol

Actually wait, I got things mixed up. I'm not sure Utah giving up the 12th pick for George Hill is good.
I don't get that trade for the Pacers and Jazz. 12th pick for a guy whos working his ass off to get out of Atlanta, and also is in a contract year, and is bound to be paid a shit ton... I like the trade for Atlanta though a lot.
Shows how valuable low lottery picks are this year I guess
Bradley for Love maybe straight up, but im not adding anything else to that trade. Loves trade value tanked after that Warriors series, and I don't see why the Celtics need another good shooting big who can't play defense all that well. It would give them a better scorer, but Bradley was 1st team all defense.

I feel like the Cavs would want Bae if the plan is to move LeBron to the 4.
i'd do that in a heartbeat

nah they will ask for #3 at this point since Love was actually decent in game 7 x the playoffs , Ainge ready to risk it all
Ainge is unpredictable , he will do anything
I love Ellenson, dont know why he's having issues moving up big boards, if the sixers didnt have 600 bigs, i'd be begging for them to try and trade for him.
But I don't think Ellenson will last that long. He's a top 10 guy imo.

PIcks are worth nothing in this draft. Hoarding assets are only valuable if other people think your assets are worth something.
George Hill is a marginal starting PG that got traded for the 12th pick in the draft. Its pretty damning.

That trade is good for the C's, might be able to pry more out of the Sixers if they really want Dunn.
I'd disagree wholeheartedly. Picks are worth a lot due to contracts. With the spike in cap space, we'll see a lot of inflation for free agents, which means that picks gonna be worth more.
I will agree though, that this draft doesnt have a lot of good players, and the amount of trades happening and being rumoured is a good sign that outside of Simmons and Ingram, you arent going to see good players.
I still think the Okafor/Noel for #3 is inevitable, everything ive heard is that the Sixers want to do the trade, and the Celtics are probably just waiting till draft night to see if they can get something better, but apparently, they havent been able to get much better
I'm not that down on him, but he's no sure thing. His lateral quicks are lacking and he'll have trouble guarding quicker 4s/5s in the league. He's basically a taller Love with some shot-blocking. He'll have to find the right role/fit to succeed, which goes for most of these lottery guys. Reminds me of a Markieff Morris in that he can be a stretch 5. He needs to get in better shape.
