2016-2017 NBA Free Agency/Offseason Thread

Joe Johnson ain't no bum nikka

Sorry, but he is, especially when factoring in how much money Johnson has made over his entire career vs his actual overall performance & impact as a NBA player.

 

[O.G.B]

You still goin on Iso Joe?

JJ is a known commodity, you know what you get with him and he'd provide veteran leadership to a young Jazz team. He's also the type of player GMs and coaches seem to love.

Opposed to Lance who seem like a knucklehead (at least he has this reputation).

I'll give you this!

Bulls should go full fukkery mode and give Lance 10M for one season, fukk it

Maybe if yall didn't go and sign Rondo

 

[Kiyoshi-Dono]

I am talking about Matt Barnes

My bad
I just hate Harrison Barnes that much.
Saw that last name and blacked out

 

[LezJepzin]

Barnes? Really? Y'all know how I feel about this guy. At least Vivek knows the value of these dudes unlike some other owners.

Boogie wants him because he's the local plug but w/e .


Deuces Rondo

Gordon, Ibaka and Biyombo gonna be looking like that in season

I'm surprised Mo Speights hasn't gotten a 20 mill per type offer yet.

I think the move now, is get on the phone and get some deals ready for taj, dunleavy and possibly doug. Waive snell and hand that 20 mill to wade. I'm sure we can snag him away the bucks If he serious about leaving

And even if we don't those guys need to go anyway.

What Stephenson may lack in basketball I.Q he makes up for with his athleticism, potential to score the ball & defensive skill/intensity.

Nah he doesn't. Dumb will get you beat every time. And coaches and GMs know that no matter how talented a player is, and Lance is definitely talented, that stupid plays will make the difference between a win or a loss

And Lance just makes too many of them. If he could maintain a ratio of more smart plays then bad plays then he'd be straight but at this point in his career it's difficult to rely on him on a night to night basis because he makes so many bonehead plays

While a few of your points are valid, I feel that under the right organization & coaching staff, a lot of the "bonehead" basketball decisions from Stephenson on the court can be corrected & limited. Plus some people seem to forget that Stephenson has only been in the league for 6 yrs & is just 25 years old, so there is time for growth with Lance as a basketball player.
