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

[Kang Deezy]

I’m sure he wants to go back but you don’t draft a young PG and then sign D Rose. The city won’t even give Coby a chance if he’s struggling, they’ll be chanting for D Rose. I think it’s too early for his victory lap in Chicago. Maybe if d Rose was retiring.

Why does Cody have to start day one? If D Rose is anything like he was last year, they could add him, one other guy and make a lil leap into a fun team fighting to get in the playoffs.

They already got LaVine, lauri, and Wendell Clark, they have talent. Cody white if not starting, still gonna get plenty of minutes due to his size.

I agree but D Rose doesn’t match their timeline. They’re going with the youth movement, why delay that? They don’t have expectations to win, they can start Cody and let him develop and play thru mistakes. If they did get a veteran presence at the 1, it would be for mentorship? Is that D Rose? He literally said these young players are too spoiled and get handed everything from the jump.

 

[CHICAGO]

I'm trying to think what team would give him that role that already doesn't have a PG

-Pacers? I think they're going to sign Rubio though.
-Orlando? They're probably going to want to feature Fultz if he ever plays
-Charlotte if Kemba leaves? And in that case, it's not a playoff team

Like every other team has a set PG or a young PG in their future

Lakers? But he can't play with Bron. Bron will park him in the corner.

Not to mention, Rose is turning 31 so age is not on his side with his injuries. He didn't do himself any favors calling out the Towns and Wiggins because teams will be wary to have him be around young guys even though his comments were the truth

CC: @CHICAGO what do you think is the best spot for D Rose?

SLEEPER

HE CAN GET GOOD MINUTES IN GS
WITH KLAY AND KD OUT FOR THE YEAR.

CHICAGO MAKES THE MOST SENSE THOUGH...

MAYBE LAL IF KYRIE/KEMBA
DOESNT SIGN THERE.

Maybe Phoenix? They don’t have a starter, they won’t have enough cap space to land Russell or Rubio. He would probably be the leader there instantly. Management is dumb but their medical staff has prolonged lots of careers

Rose is signing with the Bulls. They already said they are signing a veteran PG and he is a legend in the city and will sell tickets and merch.

 

[Bigblackted4]

Where is Markelle Fultz

I want my breh to win and be in the playoffs again . He would get mins in phoenix but for what? To lose 50+ games?

I didn’t even think of GS. He can play the 2 and backup 1 with livingston retiring. High key him and Steph would be solid. I heard LAL was interested but they’re most likely gonna back to bum ass Rondo.

 

[Omar Little]

Where is Markelle Fultz

Probably got a year long pass at Disney World

so apparently tobias is strongly interested in the jazz which makes me question why didn't their FO wait before just going through with the conley trade? did they see conley as plan A regardless of tobias wanting to be there? they could've gotten tobias w/ simple roster moves and without sacrificing all the depth they just gave to memphis then picked up a solid free agent PG. their bench is ass now. now there is the possibility that they could still get tobias even with conley, but tobias would have to take a 5-7M yearly pay cut. it would take alot of roster maneuvering and further gutting of depth as well.

Maybe they didnt want another team to swoop in and suddenly make a stronger offer for Conley

 

[2Quik4UHoes]

I’d definitely sign Rose for the right price.

 

[Brozay]

Id love to see Boston make a play for KAT without giving up Tatum or Brown.

Celtics fans as delusional as Danny

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

Yesterday on First Take Stephen A. said people don't want to hear from Lavar anymore now that Lonzo isn't a Laker. That's the main reason ESPN can easily mute him.
