2016-2017 NBA Free Agency/Offseason Thread

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

he played 20mins a game last year, to say dude anchored their defense is a bit of a stretch, when dude barely played

Spoken like somebody that didn't watch Raptors games last season.

elite defender but lets see him play starter minutes before we start calling him an anchor. you are putting him on the same level of a ben Wallace when you call him an anchor

What are you even talking about? Every team has a defensive anchor or anchors. A defensive anchor is exactly that - a player who anchors the defensive end.

 

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

Yes, he was worse around the rim last year than Ricky

Rubio - 52%

Noah - 44%

That's 4% worse than trash ass Norris Cole his last year in Miami . Seasons change, empires rise and fall, but #knickslost is eternal :flabtopphil:

 

[Wise]

People were saying last year how Washington is a top 3 backcourt in the east and the future for the next 10 years. There is nothing above average in Beal's game.

If I was Washington I would've tried to do a trade for Butler on draft day or have signed Evan Fournier or Bazemore for close to half the price

@Dwight Howard just laying the ground work for saying new Lakers legendary center Mozgov is better than Bizz-Mac

And I live up here now, so I gotta hear this bullshyt from my dad, my brother, and my uncles, who all are the kind of fan who try to argue "stats done matter". Gonna spend months thinking this was a great signing and arguing with me until they're blue in the face

I like the Rose trade for them, but the Noah signing is typical Knick shyt going for the the name way past the point they should.

You mean like when they signed baron Davis? Or T-Pain? Knicks, Wizards, and lakers had to go and blow up the market

I don't think that, bottom line is..dude played 20 mins a game last year. and don't tell me you are gonna start hating on Mozgov after BEGGING cavs to play him in the finals

Outside of Wall and maybe Otto Porter the Wiz don't have a lot of attractive assets and they are quick to trade draft picks...That teams needs a new GM and to go in another direction.

Biyombo is better than Mozgov, doesn't matter how many minutes he played.

Cavs would have played Biyombo in the finals.

I know we shouldn't worry about another man's pocket, but maaaaan this would bug me so much if I was John Wall

How is this even possible? Did the Derrick Rose Rule get tossed in the bushes?
