Exclusive The OFFICIAL 2015 NBA Offseason thread!

So Charlotte must not be getting Jeremy Lamb from OKC then. Barnes' contract is what was supposedly getting that deal done.

Ridnour unguaranteed

Yep just read they could flip him again to OKC. If that is the case though why isn't it just a 3-team deal? Ridnour could be on (and then off of) 3 teams in 2 days!

 

[KeepOnRollin]

We do have a need for a SF now but we would be bidding against a lot of teams I bet.

 

[blue9]

Oooooh, sounds like Dame knows LMA is gone...and is chomping at the bit!!!
(Draft Day has been the most exciting time to be a Blazers fan for a long time! And it looks like we're going to make up for last year's being so boring!)

I don't want a big money 3, just hope we get a guy who can be a 3&D guy under 8 mil.

Ya DeMarre probably fetches 10 MIL (I don't think 12 MIL like some say though). I just a huge fan of his. He really expanded his game.

So Lamb does go to the Hornets after all, and Ridnour to OKC.

What's OKC's play here? They get older and worse to entice Durant back?

I don't know there cap situation but I guess it is bad. They were worried they wouldn't be able to match one of either Kanter or Singler (who are both restricted) this off-season without a deal like this.

Think it's financially motivated

Total bullshit. If Randle is the deal breaker, then we are safe to assume the Lakers legacy is doomed

LOL

Can we get Cousins? We'll give them Vonleh, CJ, and the #23

They really love Randal. I have heard them say that for months. They must not think they can get LMA if they are so intent in keeping him though.

Or they think they are getting Aldridge and are playing hardball with Sac? Maybe Valdi is playin. The Lakers?

Somehow the NBA seems to falling apart all over the place and yet somehow getting stronger at the same time. Thats probably just the Blazer homer in me and social media talking but it weird how many player/coach/team issues there are out there. Im beginning to wonder if this TV deal will end up being a bad thing in the long run especially for keeping parity in the league.

We could be headed for another lockout soon.... But from the owner's side instead of the players.

Kings will either fire George Karl or trade DMC. It's reported one or the other because Cousins is pissed and will most likely force Karl out anyway.

George pisses off management in every place he goes. Good coach but a shitty "GM". He always wants player personnel power, but he sucks at it.

If fired, he worked for only 4 months! Haha. How much did he get on his contract? Looks like he wouldn't mind being fired

He is probably getting paid by 3 other teams as well

YOu can eliminate the Rockets from Love/Lamarcus sweepstakes it sounds like..

Daryl Morey said - there are bigger things we will pursue but very unlikely. Just going to sign our FA's and use mid level.

I am confused. Was it just weed or something else. The tweet just mentioned weed.

The tweet he was responding to was implying it was just marijuana - Steve responded saying it was not weed (implication being it was something worse, from my understanding.)
