Official 2017-18 NBA Free Agency/Offseason Thread

They kinda had to do this. How else could they replace Jrue? They're going all in right now. If they let him go they don't have much to spend on the team let alone PG

Stretch provision Asik, attach a pick to Solomon, clear out as much space as possible and go after wings, sign MCW & Patty Mills to be PG. They don't need to dump that much money and that many years into a PG that saw the ball less and less after they got Boogie.

 

[Dwight Howard]

I'm sick of these Dlosexuals overrating him. He was good but I swear they act like he was a young bron/Kobe player. Dlo stans on lakers board swear he's a better player than booker and porzingis

its not about overrating, its about holding the FO accountable and not blindly supporting shyt. bottomline is, Brook Lopez is a UFA next year...if PG doesnt come to LA, weve pretty much traded DLo for nothing. and if he becomes a star, its gonna sting worse. TO make matter worse, Mgic has acknowledged that DLo is a special player but doesnt fit the team. These are the types of moves that haunt franchises for years. Its easy for yall to turn the other cheek and be hopeful, but its alot more serious than yall believe. I havent seen one credible basketball person praise this move

Nobody's gonna absorb Solomon Hill's deal even with an unprotected pick. Ain't no pick worth that much

 

[Dwight Howard]

For Westbrook.

lakers just drafted lonzo and westbrook has shown ZERO interest in playing for LA

plus he probably gonna extend
Report: Russell Westbrook could be open to signing mega extension with Thunder

5yr/200m

There's always a taker, the Pelicans need drastic moves.

Locking into Holiday is basically the end of the Davis era there.

Westbrook is signing 5 year extension tonight

They were already fukked. Not much they can do to turn this into a contender anytime soon

They can probably make the playoffs the next few years with a move here or there so it's gonna be a few years till Davis demands a trade unless this thing completely falls apart this year and they win 30 something games

 

[Kang Deezy]

For Lebron which is a pipedream

Probably. But they don't have their pick for next year so they are in a bad spot.

It can all fall apart next summer, Boogie is a free agent, there's really no guarantee he will re-sign there.

I think that is who the Lakers are angling to sign too.

True but I think they'll be good enough to make the playoffs which will convince Boogie to stay

Their depth is horrific and their SFs are terrible, I'm not sold on them being that good next year.

Their not very good at all but I dont consider most lower seeded playoff teams good.when you have a player AD's caliber and while I'm not a fan Cousins is very talented as is Holiday I think they could be a 7 or 8 seed

Hill has one of the 10 worst contracts in the NBA. Nobody's paying Hill that for nothing when they can sign a guy twice as good as him for the same price or cheaper

 

[Miggs]

I don't think Wiggins would go anywhere other than Toronto. He'll stay in Minnesota.

If he accepts the QO from the Wolves next summer does that mean hes unrestricted in 2 years ?
