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

Career average of 5 and 3 yet gets a contract with an AAV of 9.3 per. Only in the NBA.

[Derek Lee]

No goodbye to Warriors fans from KD?

So making three finals appearances, winning two Finals MVPs and rings and risking his physical prime (in hindsight) in order to win another title ain't enough for you???

It's enough for me. I didn't diss the man. I just think it's dope when guys do things like...

Maybe it should be a separate thread but I don’t understand why OKC traded PG?

Don't forget he also worked a deal to send them DLo too

He asked for a trade, he can walk next summer you get him for something or nothing like how kd did us before. I respect that 100xs

He was 3rd in MVP and was hurt heading into the playoffs

And he has a player option in 2021 not next summer

Players ask for trades all the time

 

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

Idk if it was posted but herro signed

 

[phillycavsfan]

And Wade Baldwin went 17th, Henry Ellenson 18th, Malachi Richardson 22nd, Timothé Luwawu 24th, Brice Johnson 25th, Furkan Korkmaz 26th

Translation: Who cares? This is all hindsight talk.

Or more signs of Ainge being a mediocre GM since he hasn't drafted an All-Star in 15 years.

Cheap owner. Presti probably didn't want to keep paying the luxury tax for a first round playoff exit, but would rather rebuild with draft picks/younger players.

He wanted out and they knew they had us by the ballscause we needed PG to get Kawhi and so they got a massive haul for him. They didn't want it to turn into an 'AD on the Pelicans' ordeal that would've put them at a disadvantage later down the line. Also it looks like they want to get away from Westbrook and his game and start over.

They had no plans of trading George.

They were thinking about moving Adams to get PG and Russ some shooting, which the fans were dreading since he's homegrown. They were trying to find a way to reduce or get out of the tax and still add pieces to run it back but here comes KL offering PG a plane ride home which was his original preference. They pulled the trigger so quick because they just saw how funky shyt can get with a disgruntled star with the AD ordeal.

shyt had nothing to do with not wanting to play with Russ and everything to do with OKC front office's cheap ass chickens coming home to roost.
