2016-2017 NBA Free Agency/Offseason Thread

[I AM WARHOL]

We needed to embrace the tank one more year and keep the wallet tight . Dumbasses still don't realize we're gonna be a 30 win team at fukking best but with no hope of a first round pick.

Overpaying scrubs for no damn reason. Buss is like that kid who wants to look busy instead of actually doing work

 

[NoMorePie]

Poor heat. Everyone leaving Miami

 

[Osmar]

Awful contract for deng, Lakers trying to compete now ?

Nah they have nobody on their roster

and want to get to the cap floor

 

[Kang Deezy]

They could have well over 20 million next season. Like I said the cap goes up. Also the Lakers aren't guaranteed to get a big name especially if they as bad as they were this past season.

Why can't you point it out now?

I appreciate the effort but there's no way laker fans should be happy right now

They should be threatening to riot unless buss steps down

If laker fans aren't going batshyt right now then it just proves they are fair weather fans

 

[Rakim Allah]

Youre just posting tow the comany line bullshyt in here , fukk outta here

Nah I just look at the situation from a realistic view. This a 17 win team with a promising young core. Tanking will not help the development of them and move the team forward.

You do know that Joe Johnson is 4 years older than Deng right?

yea this is Joe's last deal i think, it still should give the Jazz the added scoring they need

This line of thinking is why your view is so skewed. Take off the green glasses for a few minutes.

I am still at shock with this Deng deal, it seems surreal.

18 Mil for Deng at this stage of his career?

 

[ZoeGod]

Pat Riley is really fukking up.

 

[Forlife44]

so the heat are kd or bust huh? without kd what are they 2nd round at best?

 

[SoulController]

the Heat couldnt afford that, they got other issues

Richardson and Winslow will be cheap for a minute, Tyler Johnson too. they just need to keep Wade and hope theres some development

 

[Morethan1]

As usual bulls sitting on there hands

 

[SoulController]

are the Hawks allowed to sign Horford, go over the cap, then make moves? they have to dump Korver, right?

Tyler Johnson is a RFA I think. Woj said he could get the jeremy lin contract with the backloaded years

30 win team is a 13 win improvement. It's better than tanking, wasting another year of the young core and Walton's first year. And we still have a huge chance of the losing the pick. It's tough but the Lakers must move forward and stop trending backwards.
