Exclusive The OFFICIAL 2019 NBA Offseason Thread

[B-Roy]

Minnesota is meeting with Dangelo Russell at the start of free agency. This is telling me they basically have a deal for Wiggins in place for cap space. Wonder if it’s the Mavs. I don’t know what other team would take that kind of gamble.

And the truth shall set you free.

This depends on if they let Trey Lyles go or not. They just gave him his QO so if they signed someone to the Full-MLE they would be in the tax unless they rescind their offer to Lyles and sign to minimum guys.

That seems crazy to me. I cant wait for pieces to start flying tomorrow

If he comes back next year, he will be one of the top FA's. Going to get PAID then.

 

[calvin natt]

Horford going to Pelicans. NO is going to be solid. Really good. Jrue, Ball, Ingraham, Zion and Horford

 

[RipCityWarrior]

Mirotic misses Europe or prefers Euro league?

 

[oldmangrouch]

Why would he sign in Europe without waiting to see what NBA offers were available?

[Chris Craig]

I thought he was retiring

 

[GDiama]

Shocking move by Mirotic. Looks like he doesn't care about more money. Maybe he just prefers to be a star and not just wait in the corner to shoot the ball.

 

[Dougnsalem]

This is good news. Let's see a bunch more of these guys....

Could he be an option for the Blazers?

 

[Chris Craig]

Could he be an option for the Blazers?

Possibly, but I still think Kanter is returning

Shams: Kemba to Bos for 141 mil/4 yrs

Wow!

But I thought they started negotiating tomorrow?

Hahahahaha, love this charade.

Anyhow — not sure how I’d feel about this as a Celtics fan.

One ball dominant scoring guard for another, worse, ball dominant scoring guard...

Interesting decision.

And he can live in Barcelona .

 

[GDiama]

And he can live in Barcelona .

And without the danger of being in a new city after two months because they decided to trade him.

What? Is that number for real? Sometimes it's good not to be able to overpay for free agents. Blazer fans almost always dream of what we could have had instead of what we really would have gotten. Sure, there are better players than Evan Turner. Like Chandler Parson who'll make $25 million this coming season.

Kemba leaving, could be a fire-sale in Charlotte or a place to dump contracts

Kemba was 3rd team All-NBA this year though. He's way better than ET and Parsons. I actually think Kemba is better than Kyrie.

One thing is that Walker is a good dude and a natural leader, Irving not so much.

 

[wizenheimer]

more than 24 hours before the "official" start of the off-season and shit is happening

 

[JoshuaHall]

One thing is that Walker is a good dude and a natural leader, Irving not so much.

And Kyrie Irving is a much better player and NBA champion that has actually produced on winning teams.

That’s like saying you’d take Nurk over Embiid because Embiid is a “loud mouth.”

That’s not exactly a recipe for winning games.

Edit: what’s the evidence of Kemba being some amazing leader? His team has always been trash

Charlotte is a disaster. If they were smart they’d dump their older expirings for younger expirings
