Sprinting to Training Camp: The Official 2018 NBA Offseason Thread

[The God Poster]

I'd prefer if we not getting Bron or Kawhi this season to get Capella. He fits great imo.

Ball
Random until we get Kawhi
BI
Kuzma
Capella

 

[#1 pick]

Simmons
Fultz
Leonard
LeBron
Embiid

Let's GO!

The best thing for the spurs is for Bron to go to Philly...

Then that forces the lakers and the celtics to bust it open...

Tatum and Brown are great young players but neither one of them dudes are going to be as good as lebron and kawhi at their best...

So all that young talent isn't going to do anything but get stomped by Philly going forward...

You tell the celtics either give us what we want or have fun losing to Philly for the next 5 years...

Then you tell the lakers...look what happened to PG...thought he was coming...but he liked it better in OKC...he liked it so much he didn't even take the 5 year that would have guaranteed him way more money...we send Kawhi to Philly...he going to be playing with Bron and Embiid and Simmons...and a former spurs coach he always liked...he going to stay their...you won't even get a chance at him...

The problem for the spurs is do they take Fultz...or do they get Philly to trade Fultz to say orlando so they can get orlando pick...basically comes down to would you rather have fultz and the kings pick...or no fultz but say orlando lottery pick and the kings lottery pick...that might be two top 6 picks in upcoming drafts...I'd rather have the two picks than fultz and one pick...

Anyway if Bron goes to Philly Lakers about to have to trade the whole damn team for Kawhi...except Deng of course

shyt spurs might ask them to trade for D Angelo again so they can trade him to us

Stop it ...y'all nikkas is desperate

They were both hurt for most of the year, so... How do you think this??!
Fultz played good when he finally came back also.. Especially considering that he didn't step on the court until what, April??!

You nikkas are going way too hard right now over a meeting..

Fultz couldn't shoot outside the paint. How is that better than Ball?

So bad, he was out of the rotation in the playoffs.

Houston is resigning him no matter what

Yeah imma need the lakers to throw every available dollar of that max contract to capela and make the rockets match. Gonna be in financial hell for the next several seasons

Good in theory problem is Houston has 4 days to decide and that locks the Lakers money for those 4 days.

 

[#1 pick]

He's gonna get matched by HOU.

 

[Houston911]

Offer Capella, hope Rockets don't match(no reason they wouldn't since they're not making any big signings though)

Sign LeBron

Trade for Korver

Best they can do at this point

4 seed at best

Not a contender and that eats up too much money

Better off tanking and building through draft

 

[Inertia Creeps]

Someone's gotta explain to me how Philly can make a better offer than LA without including Simmons. That headcase Fultz was even worse than Lonzo.

They have Miami's unprotected 2020 first rounder; that's worth more than every piece of trash on the Lakers roster besides Ingram. Throw in Fultz, Saric and Covington or another first and that's probably a good return in the eyes of Pop and Bud compared to the max the Lakers will offer if it prevents Kawhi staying west and forming an in-conference superteam they'll have to compete against for years to come.

 

[GoddamnyamanProf]

Yeah Devin can’t have it both ways where he wants to be in the playoffs and have a roster full of his friends.

Ulis was only making like a mil and change though, thought it was dumb to cut him

By the end of the season I thought Shaq was a better prospect.

Years to come

Bron got 3 years which is why I don't want us to blow it up for him
