2024 Offseason Thread

China.

Yeah, Bagley outperformed Wiseman this season, both in Detroit and Washington. And Bagley's not even that good.

Unless Washington want to out-Detroit Detroit, no chance he goes there. Min contract at best, God knows where.

 

[Son of Skeletor]

Isolated its a good trade etc but feel like it means they give up on Markannen who IMO was the better fit

You're making a rather large assumption that Markkanen is even available.

If Danny Ainge ever makes him available - and that's a large if - it'll be for a king's ransom of draft picks. Matching salaries won't enter much into it in the short term. And even if they did, as pointed out they could still make it work. Or bring a third team in.

Malik Monk back with the Kings, 4/78.

Might have been one that Orlando had an eye on.

Glad he's stuck around, been pretty cool watching what he's done with the Kings the last 2 seasons

China.

I’d actually agree if the free agency class wasn’t so ass. He will get a 2 year 12 mill deal for sure

Like every Australian I was excited when giddey was drafted. However I had reservations about his shooting and defence. I still do and perhaps so did the Thunder organisation.

 

[revo333]

I'm all for it.

Oh well, He will have some good content for his podcast in the future.

It will be a kings ransom but OKC have a kings ransom to give. n any case it does appear OKC have other targets in mind anyway and someone cheaper like Patrick Williams in a seperate trade

Does anyone see how Philly get better from here btw? No players to actually trade to get something in and the only free agents that exist are basically no better then what they already had, if not worse.

The writing was on the wall like 12 months ago here. Every PG that cant hit a 3 has to be a ball dominant player. He probably needs to model his game around prime Westbrook. Get the board and run.

 

[fidstar]

I'm not sure how you think Giddy could play like prime Westbrook.

Offseason time...

Imagine yourself at your own personal peak basketball skills. What aged LeBron James would you be able to beat? I think LeBron up to the age of about 10. By 11 he'd be kicking my ass.

I peaked when I was around 11-12 (living in the USA at the time). So I'm gonna go with a 6 year old Lebron I could handle.

In other news, a 7'9 kid named Olivier Rioux declared for college. He was 6'10 when he was 12. I reckon he'd handle a 6 year old Lebron as well.

Rather than think how young LBJ could be I'll go the opposite. I think my peak could be LBJ when he's 80

I think I could beat current day Jerry West.

Finally getting his crack after being thereabouts in all the previous HC hunts.

He was Brooklyn's head coach for 4 years.

lol not sure how I’ve overlooked that one. Probably highlights how much I’ve cared about Brooklyn.

Well I never said that. I said model his game in that fashion. Big difference

Murmurs are that Paul George will opt in and seek a trade to the Knicks, would be a ideal fit for sire

 

[peternorth]

Welcome to LA JJ Redick

 

[Iceman!]

Murmurs are that Paul George will opt in and seek a trade to the Knicks, would be a ideal fit for sire

Dunno who they would have to give up but I’d they could have a line up of something like Brunson/PG/OG/Randle/Hartentein they would be a seriously scary team.

 

[burge13]

But does he have the podcasting experience required to head coach
