2016-2017 NBA Free Agency/Offseason Thread

[Frump]

Yes they can.

Biyombo ain't no starter don't be fooled by his performance in the Eastern Conference Finals. He's an energy big, Orlando stacking up on shot blockers to cover up Nikola's rim protection. They not trading the guy putting up 20/10's nightly.

Ibaka's a free agent soon too, by then Gordon should be ready.

I know money's going around crazy but I doubt they paid 70 mill to bring him off the bench

 

[Brozay]

I stand corrected

That's gotta be a joke lmao

Bill Buckner?

You gotta be a youngin if you didn't get the joke in that tweet.

i'm sorry but this is the plan of an idiot.

condescending ass nikka

Yeah, putting rim protectors and shot blockers next to your best player whose biggest weakness is rim protection is the plan of an idiot. Building around your young players strengths and weaknesses is the plan of an idiot.

Instead they should trade a 25 year old putting up 20/10/3 making $12M a year until 2019. That's the smart plan.

The Magic already said they plan to keep Vucevic so he's not getting traded.

great plan...build around vucevic, kill gordon's development, pay 70 mil 4 a backup and have no spacing

I just caught it

Why don't you like Horford breh? He'd be the best player Wall has ever played with.

I agree he's going to Boston, 100%. But the fit here is perfect.

I don't dislike Horford but I really don't want a 30 year old Horford on a 4 year deal.

What's Dwight Powell worth right now in this market?

 

[jaguar paw]

I started to make a "Anthony Bennett 5 years $128 million contract with the Mavs" thread but that's really mean.

Meh, he's a big man who's skilled. I'm not worried about him slowing down significantly. Plus, he's basically had 2 seasons off with that pectoral muscle injury.

Like @Malta said, his ability to defend quicker PFs is my only concern. But having Morris kind of helps alleviate that and you can mix and match Gortat/Horford/Morris lineups.

It'd give the front court a lot of flexibility.

And hey, we're not getting Durant. And we want Wall to be happy, so go for broke

But once this fails and Ernie blows his load on crappy players, then maybe we can have a bad year and finally have changes with a lotto pick in a better draft

Who says I think Vucevic is a franchise player or I think Orlando is doing a good job of team building?

I'm making sense of the signing dumb ass, the Magic are high on Vucevic you aren't.

Biyombo isn't a starter regardless he fouls over 4 times per 36 minutes. It's fukking Orlando they have to overpay to get guys and with the cap jump players like Mozgov are getting $66M. It is what it is and the cap will jump again.

Ibaka adds rim protection but he also adds spacing next to Vucevic because he can hit threes and pick and pop. Jeff Green is another guy capable of playing as a small ball PF and adding spacing.

Why not just submit your resume to the Magic for a front office position if you so smart nikka?

It was only a matter of time before San Antonio would show interest in him. Twas only a matter of time
