Notice Of Separation: The 2023 NBA Free agency/Off-Season Thread

Grant Williams would be perfect next to Sabonis

Man Dame is going to Miami, Woj is the mouthpiece for GMs.

They’re doing this sideshow so Miami doesn’t offer anything disrespectful

He very well could but not for Lowry, Robinson and a couple of pick swaps

I think folks are pushing back at the idea that the Blazers have no choice but to accept whatever garbage Miami offers

 

[The God Poster]

Maybe I missed it but Woj did not say they wouldn’t trade him to Miami

They still have their MLE. Huerter and monk while solid are highly replaceable. The % of 3s was a function of how they play. You replace Malik monk with Malik Beasley on a prove it deal how much are you losing (Especially in the event you have a dame Lillard).

Fox-Lillard-Barnes-Grant Williams-Sabonis
Bench: Beasley, Mitchell, Lyles

Better defense, same amount of shooting, higher ceiling

As far as Murray, it’s all a projection. I don’t see him as a ‘guy’

Not all young players improve exponentially. For every Tyrese Maxey, there’s guys who were at one point “untouchable” like Thybuille, Cam Reddish, Kuzma, etc. Youth is often overvalued…bc everyone assumes guys get drastically better. Some guys you can just tell they are who they are even if it’s a good player

Kings are building continuity. They were the best offense in the NBA last season. It wasn't just because they hit 3s either. You're also taking the ball away from Fox and Sabonis.

Kings don't have their MLE. They're a team operating under the cap.

Malik Beasley isn't providing playmaking like Monk. It's not a good trade for the Kings.

Yep it's obvious what Woj is trying to do

It’s “theater creation” …more clicks more views …more people hanging on every tweet …more traffic to the content creators pages …it’s the business

 

[Left.A1]

TBF, that was during the summer not when he got traded during the all-star break.

It don’t fukking matter …he got traded exactly to where he was always goin to get traded to …there was never some “open for business” bullshyt narrative that Woj patently was lying about

Not a better fit than Keegan Murray. I don't want a 6'6" PF on a team that's already a bad rebounding team.

Herro leaving the Heat

Almost missed the playoffs with him in the line up and damn near won the chip with him out of it.

Peace god

Lillard to the Kings makes negative sense they need frontcourt help more than anything

It’s not perfect, but it’s an option

It’s a better trade for the kings than the popular trades are for Portland. Giving up Lillard for Ben Simmons and picks….or just picks period

Jsut a FYI. Ppl have been running with a false narative of a 3 year fully guaranteed deal when it’s essentially a two year deal which I’m aight with .

 

[AAKing23]

They saying the Sixers interested in Malik Beasley, I would love that pickup. we need an irrationally confident shooter with Niang gone
