I'll name this offseason thread later: The NBA 2019 Offseason/Free Agency Thread

[drifter]

You think the media isn’t going to talk about teams in the Biggest market of the world ? This board makes a thread every time bad news about the Knicks comes out

As of this current moment Kawhi to the Lakers isn't being talking about with the same certainty that KD to the Knicks was, this is beyond glitz and glamour of the big markets. Ever since Draymond told KD we don't need you, every single bread crumb has been followed back to KD going to the Knicks. Dolan saying they've been talking and are confident people are coming this summer, to the stories that the two parties met earlier this year. KD sending signals across league to see who he can team with when he gets there

This wasn't a hope like Zion, this was supposed to happen. Knicks were supposed to be more than a lottery team the 2019 season, I'm sorry. The only acceptable reason for them to still be one is if KD is signed and rehabbing. Clippers are in the same boat, send a bunch of weirdos to Raptors home games all season to "scout" someone that's been in the league 8 years, then try to buy his logo so you can give it to him if he signs. Going through all that, he better be wearing a different black and red jersey next season period.

If the Los Angeles Lakers want help on defense and are looking for a rim-protecting big man, DeAndre Jordan would seem like a good candidate to pursue in free agency.

Per ESPN.com's Ramona Shelburne and Brian Windhorst, the Lakers are "expected to look" at finding a way to sign Jordan.

Just read some shyt about kawhi teaming up with jimmy butler for the clippers


I think they have 55 mill in cap space so they will probably have to move someone like galinari (sp?)

Yes and I’m sure somebody would easily take him into cap space.

DeAndre don’t play defense, he just chases rebounds

DeAndre don’t play defense, he just chases rebounds

exactly people remember him patrolling the paint rim protecting blocking shots and sprinting to the other end of the court to catch oops...All he does now is damn near push his team mates out the way to collect counting stats like rebounds...But he did improve his free throw shooting...It's a place for him in the league I like him but I can't act like he's an elite defender even though I thought he was...he's just a board man.

Remember when TheColi swore nobody wanted to play with Bron?

Remember when TheColi swore nobody wanted to play with Bron?

I remember nikkaz saying the Lakers wouldn’t even get meetings with anyone.

My hunch still tells me Kawhi re-signs with the Raptors(That's where I'd be if I was him), but if he leaves

I think he comes to the Lakers

What do you want james Dolan to say ? We suck and no one wants to play for the Knicks fukk us? And he’s not confident the Knicks can sign anyone ?I’m sure he does talk to players who say they love playing at the garden as lots of people say that. That doesn’t guarantee anything. Until someone is signed it guarantees nothing . Everyone thought PG was lakers bound . Your mad at the Knicks and clippers organizations for attempting to get players because the media talks about it all the time ? It’s because they are in big markets . The organizations themselves aren’t out there saying this everyday you should be mad at ESPN
Remember how dumb the raptors were last year to make that trade since it’s no way kawhi stays ?
