Curious to see what the market will be for Avery Bradley. His value has dipped since last year, mainly due to injury but imo he's still one of the top 3 and D guys out there. I'll take him over Redick any day.
Yea I likeGrant And the way he gets after it..... I remember getting the feeling like “why is this guy actin like James killed his dog” “seemed like he was taking the Harden vs Westbrook mvp race personally “ I was pissed at first but then I thought that’s exactly what we need.....
Aaron Gordon is an up n coming player that could thrive next to Harden and Paul. The thing that separates players like him from a SF like Ariza is not just his athleticism but his ball handling and quick release. Ariza’s release is soooo slow, it allows defenses to recover. Would love to get him but how? Seems to me he will garner a large contract. I’d be fine with a trade but would the Magic want anyone other than AG? I know Morey wants to unload Anderson but I don’t see them, or anyone else for that matter taking Anderson’s contract.
JJ Redick is an almost certainty to sign here if in the best case we land LeBron or George. This would be because Eric Gordon would've been traded. Luc is also returning so CP3 would then have two Clipper teammates in Houston next year. I would also love to see Avery Bradley here as another excellent 3&D player. Plus he's only 27 (and another Longhorn to go with PJ Tucker \m/ )
I think a lot of us would like AG on this roster ….. but its just not realistic at all. He's an RFA and Orlando will match any offer he gets. We really have nothing to offer them in terms of a S&T either and even if we did that would invoke the hard cap ….. which we would definitely be up against. Insert Its NOT happening gif here.
There are rumors of Anthony Davis being a Free Agent soon Trading for him is impossible, only Celtics can trade for him, with their Lottery picks
Remember Nene going like 13/13 or something that one playoff game a year ago? He definitely hit with the old age bug a bit this year. I say this because I hope we can keep tuckers minutes down next year during the regular season. Im not sure next year we can play him 40 minutes a night in the playoffs. if we get rid of ryno we will need another bigman for sure, a name i havent heard and yet i think he would be helpful is... MIKE SCOTT. Be on the lookout for this man, 6-8 235, shoots the 3 at a career 35%. Can hit some mid range and gives effort on defense. He is a pretty great lockerroom guy as well, according to some teammates. He was on a minimum contract and still getting around 17 minutes a game in the playoffs on the Wizards. I think the price tag will be cheap enough and he could be a pretty good fit for us. This could help cut some arizas minutes (keep him fresh, be able to hit on more 3’s, these veterans on our team are getting old ya know)
Vince Carter's agent must be a genius... how'd the hell did a 41 yr old Carter get 8mil/year? After looking at this list, you realize how many terrible GMs there are in this league and how all the other GMs are trying to scam those terrible ones. KD's likely going to take another paycut to screw the rest of the league over. We should make a bid for OKC's Jerami Grant if we're going to be losing Ariza and Luc this off-season. OKC is so far over the cap, they won't be able to offer him anything. He's the only guy I see outside of Russ who plays with 100% effort every time I see him on the court. He's 6'8 and plays above the rim. He has a serviceable 3 point shot and actually plays defense.
Ben deserves better than me dumping this on post #97 on page 5 of some random thread ... so go listen.
NENE is washed and I hope he is gone.... also i think JJ riddick signs with the Rockets after Lebron does.
After Ryan's miserable performance in the WC Finals, I wanted to target Mike Scott initially with the MLE, but DM/TF should go after Tyreke Evans with the MLE before anyone else. I think he will try to get a bigger contract though. Evans' presence will ease the pressure on Chris Paul to a great degree, and he can get valuable minutes at the 2 spot too. I like EG when he attacks the basket and when he makes his 3 pointers. He is also a underrated defender, but he is streaky, and commits turnovers. Tyreke can't attack the basket like him, but he is a better passer. EG plus a unprotected first rounder ( 2019) and this year's second rounder and fillers( Hartenstein/ Zhou( NG) might cut it for Jimmy Butler. Re-sign CP3( max 3 years), Capela for 14 M, and Ariza if possible. GG would possibly have to go. An S/T for a second rounder( 30-40) for him, wouldn't be a bad trade. Luc for 2.8 M after surgery, would be good for us, if that is not possible, try and get a second rounder for him.
I can't lie, this would be a dream offseason for me. I can't even imagine it happening. Ryno/Gordon/picks in some deal that gets Lebron here. Capela/CP3 re-sign Ariza re-signs to a reasonable deal Luc signs for the minimum JJ signs for the taxpayer MLE Justtxyank dies
