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

This is most likely more from Houston but I have no doubt both sides are tired of each other. But anyway, no one is taking on Chris Paul's contract. You would have to give up 2 years worth of lottery picks for that to happen

Super Team culture that Lebron created is weird. As the GSW goes on ice and the NBA feels free and full of hope. . The Pelicans have the power to decide to give the NBA its next Super Team with the AD trade.

It's like we can't escape it. It just feels inevitable for the NBA season to feel hopeless except for a 3 or 4 teams.

What happened to World Wide Wes? did he retire? I used to always hear about him and how influential he was but no one ever talks about him anymore.

He’s in the business of college basketball.

Oladipo plays defense. You can’t have two non defenders in the backcourt which is why Kyrie and Russell wouldn’t work either. I’m not too familiar with Lavine but from what I remember, he’s not that great defensively.

Shout out to world wide wes, everywhere we go we leave a worldwide mess

Ideally I'd like to sign Jimmy back and add D'Angelo Russell if we can, I think Tobias may leave for Brooklyn so we can move Ben to the 4 and have an actual PG that shoots

PG: Russell
SG: Redikk
SF: Butler
PF: Simmons
C: Embiid

Russell, Embiid and Simmons all went to the same high school

Isn't Philly capped out even if Tobias leaves? I thought that was why they traded for him.

No disrespect from me, they played well and Kawhi had a ridiculous post season. to the Champs...

if ennis opts in at 1.845 mil and jimmy opts out, their cap total is only 47.5 on a projected 109 mil cap not including any cap holds so plenty of room to replace him if tobias leaves. the positive to trading for tobias is they currently have both he and jimmy butler's bird rights.

Dipo plays defense. That's the kind of shootings guard you need next to Russell because of his defensive shortcomings. That's why the Russell/Clarkson backcourt didn't work in LA.

- that would be a dope squad.
- i feel like they need another starting 2 guard like danny green, who could actually defend, and have jj coming off the bench
- dlo, and jj would be food on defense
