i have something to say about the offseason THE 2016 NBA OFFSEASON

http://sportsdaydfw.imgix.net/1455321993-NS_26mavsrockets48.jpg?q=50&auto=format&w=700

dirk is like 50 years old and cooked ftr

he's def sizzling but not fully cooked. like timmy more or less, actually slightly less cooked than timmy.

wut

i can't believe timmy is 40

also kinda crazy that jamal crawford is 36.

u really think dirk is fully done kev?

it'd be nice if dirk could play 6th man for a contender for a couple years, but that's so not gonna happen

he's making less than 6th man type of money

oh I just mean he's never going to leave the mavs

right right altho he did kinda say if they start a rebuild he wants out

unfortunately Cuban will never blow it up, he'll keep making creaky incremental moves to stay relevant

u really think dirk is fully done kev?

medium well, but i was "wut"-ing at you saying timmy was more cooked. timmy was great most of this year

until the end. but that may just be cos pop isnt playing him much

yeah i mean there's worse things than making the playoffs every year and seeing what happens.

there's at least 3 ascendant teams in the West they have to keep ahead of if they want to make the offs again I think a lot has to happen for them to stay relevant past this year

if daj hadn't wussed out on his commitment to the mavs, they would have won in the neighborhood of 50 and would have more to build on going forward

yeah probably so.

you know whats crazy, jamal crawford is 36

West could look extremely different next yr though it's hard to make real predictions yet. Rockets okc clippers could all blow up their teams or not

DeMarcus Cousins said the Kings would be a playoff team if Michael Malone were still here. Didn't hesitate.

While the c's were down about 18 or so last night I idly wondered if there were any free agent wings who score about 20-25 ppg that could slot right in there

There's one who used to play in Seattle but he's probably loyal to his rookie college coach and energy robber baron team owners I guess

idk kd seeming very up for grabs

wait was that sarcasm

so gonna happen imo

derozan too but i'd rather have someone who can shoot 3s

no derozan tyvm

yeah i still think he's a mirage

also can't play IT/derozan together

in the event that KD doesn't want to come here theres a pretty big drop to the next best available player in that role (parsons?) so you'd probably have to go for a big trade

theres a guy in chicago who doesn't like fred hoiberg or that front office (that said paxson/forman hold onto assets with hooked claws)

ya i wonder where dannys head is at re maxing out 2nd tier free agents, trade does seem to be the way to go if youre swinging for the fences, nets pick lands in the top 2 and the celtics cld have some good options

was reading a chris mannix thing just now saying the strategy will be to trade for a piece or two that would make the team appealing to durant or i guess some plan b free agent

the entire hornets team is going to free agency can we just sign them and merge

they really need to trade their picks and a couple guys off the roster, just too many guys

xp long as spencer hawes isn't involved

all the bigs other than kelly are gone iirc or maybe amir has a team option for 1 more year

i don't think they'll be paying to keep sully with their current situation

youre correct about amir, jerebko is on a similar deal i think. and yeah they're not gonna bother with sully or evan turner (despite brad inexplicably turning him into a swiss army knife off the bench)

i do think danny will have to tip his hand by the draft since you can't just draft 7 guys and then expect other teams to give you any leverage in moving some of them

turner turned out to be a dece back up pg but besides that his utility to the celtics is based mostly on the fact that they just have no playmaking outside IT

potential trade targets: butler, m gasol, dmc, harden

tuner was exposed really badly playing with the first unit against atl, they just left him in the gdamn corner all night.

feel like gasol prob actually the best fit if youre dreaming of pairing someone w kd and it, tho he has age/injury concerns obvs

harden would bump IT to 2nd unit prob which would be weird to do after this year

butler's a better fit since he plays d

wait was that sarcasm

100% I think the only reason kd would stay is to coordinate jumping ship with russ

Might be some $$$ advantages too but whatever dude could just do the Lebron and say he's signing a one year deal and reup the next year with more cap or something

i hunger for cap

what about bropez?
