It's not like we had a ton of flexibility to make moves. The draft was Olshey's main source of talent income this year, either via actually drafting, which he did, or trading the picks for a veteran.

The rest of our roster is pretty...hard to move, for various reasons. Except perhaps for guys like Aminu and Davis who aren't at the top of their value and any trades involving them as principles would amount to shuffling deck chairs.

We need to try to get a 1st or a couple 2nds for them. We have a logjam at PF. Vonleh, Aminu, Davis, Collins, Swanigan...
 
I don't really expect us to do much of anything during free agency, in regards to trades, so it's still possible I'll be pleasantly surprised, but it's comical to me that less than 24 hours into the moratorium, and we already have people complaining and questioning us being done.

Aminu could probably swing back to small forward--they can survive his lack of shooting there if they play him with someone like Collins, who can shoot. It's still a logjam, I agree, but I'd rather see if Davis can rebuild his value a bit first. He was a significantly better player before last season and it's not like he's at an age where you expect age-related decline. If he returns to form, perhaps he can be moved at the deadline for something useful.

So I shouldn't question whether we'll make any move or not and I shouldn't be upset if we return 13 of 15 players from last years team?

Whatever you say, dude.

Aminu at SF? Please no...
 
We're set for the season.

Olshey doesn't trade guys he at some point acquired.
 
End of last season: PF is the n°1 priority come on Neil DO SOMETHING !!! :smiley-195517897341:smiley-195517897341

Strange but he has the same team in Miami that he has in Utah. Whiteside is equal to Gobert, Dragic is equal to Hill or better (and Hill won't even stay in Utah so it'll be Rubio).

Have half of the board forgotten we traded for a guy named Nurkic last season or what ?

You gotta understand that this half of the board you're talking about trades the entire roster on 2k every season.
:D
 
Don't know if anybody posted this but saw this earlier and thought it was absolutely ridiculous

Not me. I barely post in the main section but Nurk made me post more. Once the season starts I'll pay attention. No nurk, not much interest.

Most of the guys act like we're going into this year with the same team as the start of last year when we basically added a 3rd star (and a couple promisong rookies)...

Yeah, I think it was posted in the Griffin signing thread. Pretty funny.
 
Haywards wife (allegedly) wants to go to Miami. No legit source, a work buddy read it somewhere. If that were the case thats some pretty strong pull. Makes sense though, who's wife would rather go to Boston than Miami? Beer and rowdy sports fans or tans and manicures? But knowing how this rumor shit usually goes, he'll probly end up somewhere totally unexpected...or Utah.

I think he is gone from Utah but if he ends up in Miami that would be interesting because I fully expected and still kinda do for him to go to Boston. Would be a failure of an offseason for Boston if that were to happen. People judge them every summer and then a lot of people stick up for them saying saving these assets is smart. It's like okay but for how long? could of made a deal with Indy for PG, then used that to get Hayward but who knows that scenario maybe doesn't work because Hayward might just wanna put up numbers in the east, in that case miami is better for him.
 
Adding Butler and George to the west made dame and CJ being all stars that much harder by the way, pretty crazy when you think about it. A guy can average 27 and 7, and not be an all star.
