I'll name this offseason thread later: The NBA 2019 Offseason/Free Agency Thread

[EBK String]

I'm officially done with 2K19. 2K20 gon be flames tho. I bet Kawhi will be on the cover.

AD is on the cover

You could be right on that point tho

I think you could make a far better argument for the Clippers at this point.

You could argue that Kawhis team is holding the Lakers hostage until the Market dries up and then signs with the Clippers to weaken the Lakers.


That's just me making shyt up, but that makes more sense than waiting this long to sign with the Lakers to me

I mean if it was me I would have signed with the Raps already, I mean they just won the championship and they’d be top 3 in the East with him still there next year. I don’t see the Clippers move making sense because to me that’s a worse supporting cast than the Raptors. Lakers make obvious sense if he wants a super team tho.

 

[threattonature]

Lakers will have a full MLE

No good guards left on the market tho

Nah Lakers only get a 4.8 room exception once they hit the salary cap. MLE is only for teams that were already over the cap prior to free agency.

 

[Da_Eggman]

Holy shyt

 

[EBK String]

Holy shyt

This might be the worst offseason run in NBA history. They paid out a 100 million dollars to
rotation guys

I'm trying to think of past free agents and it seemed like if a player was returning to a team it was announced pretty quickly where as if the process was drawn out it usually meant they were gone. But I'm too lazy to verify that lol.

 

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

Skip and shannon calling KD a beta and kyrie the alpha

Huh? Neither are alphas

Only alphas in the league right now are Westbrook and probably Oladipo.

 

[2Quik4UHoes]

That doesn't really make sense

Why would he Wait to sign in LA when all the role players are getting snatched up?

The longer he waits the worse the Lakers chance of filling out the roster gets.

None of this feels like he's going to the Lakers to me

I have zero idea just like everyone else but none of whats happened makes me thinks lakers

But what exactly makes you think the Lakers would’ve had the money to sign Kawhi AND some of the contracts some of these role players got? It couldn’t happen either way.

Meanwhile, there are still solid role players on the market literally waiting for Kawhi and on top of that a lot of the money has dried up which will help the Lakers in getting bargains.

The reason for the delay is today is Canada day and Kawhi wants to be respectful to the Raptors organization. Lakers get their official meeting with Kawhi today after having corresponding for a full year with him. After he signs we’ll fill things out quickly.

Which is why to me he’s gone

 

[trick]

Yo Kawhi really going to the Lakers? Raps haven’t had the chance to make any signings.

They are capped out even without Kawhi, they can't do anything except wait.

 

[CrimsonTider]

Kawhi going from being the best player in the league to the 3rd option will be the weirdest NBA storyline ever

 

[SubZeroDegrees]

I thought we sending Etwuan to Jazz....We got depth

 

[FAH1223]

So the Wizards grand master plan to help Beal while Wall is out is to dump their only promising young guard and bring in IT and Ish fukking Smith in his place????

Hope Griff is ready to pull the trigger come deadline time once Beal gets fed up with IT's turnstile ass leaking lockerroom arguments to Woj after they start out the season 15-35 :PierreBlessed:

Wizards got a $5M traded player exception and another 2nd...But I'd have kept Satoransky.
