2016 NBA Offseason thread - Free Agency,Trades,Hires,etc

Big call considering Wiggins may not even be the best player on his team.

K-A Towns is a very good player too.

Insane the young talent they have tho - Wiggins/Towns/Muhammed/LaVine/Rubio/Dieng/Jones/Payne.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

I wouldn't either. Wiggins will be a multi-MVP winner.

Doubtful.

 

[Elvis P]

Celtics pry Jimmy Butler from Bulls? I hope not.

Chicago wins the trade if Minnesota trades wiggins

Sky will fall before that happens. Thibs ain't stupid.

Knicks interested in D Rose.

Typical Knicks move, trade for a washed up star and then watch it fail miserably.

 

[SpookyTsuki]

He would be good if he could play d well

 

[Vamos Rafa]

What does Clowe me think of the new Kings logo and unis? Looks like purple Chelsea FC.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

They're decent. They could (and have) been worse.

sixers reportedly told simmons they're taking him #1

ingram is the guy i wanted all along for the lakers. he's exactly the type of player they need. things are finally looking up in LA for the first time in a very long time

 

[SpookyTsuki]

I like their style. Garbage team and probably always will be though

A lot of exces and scouts aren't sold on Simmons. Some think he'll be a good player but never a face of the team/franchise type that you'd expect.

so, Dirk is a FA?

 

[darko]

so, Dirk is a FA?

Yup he opted out.

 

[Troy McClure]

Dirk opted out to allow him to sign a larger contract. His last contract was very team friendly because he wanted to help the Mavs sign free agents, but no big name free agent ever signs with the Mavs. Now, if he stays with the Mavs like he probably will, then he'll get the most cash possible.

It's similar to LeBron going with a bunch of one-year deals to let him re-up for the max every season.

 

[Virtanen18]

It would be so weird to see Dirk play for anyone but Dallas.

 

[Del Preston]

 

[JS19]

It's a week old, but holy damn



24mil dollar jump from 70mil. Have to wonder how much impact it will have on signing contracts. Especially when people are expecting a 100+mil cap next year.

 

[SpookyTsuki]

What a jump man...

Philadelphia wants the third overall pick I guess

Well I guess if you want to have a reputation for lying to prospects that's cool. Cause ur gonna have to trade ur first overall pick lmao

 

[Virtanen18]

Thad Young to the Pacers for 20th and a future 2nd

 

[Avs_19]

The defensive end might be rough but a Turner, Thad, George, Monta, and Teague lineup is intriguing. They'll certainly be able to push the pace.

Well to be fair they did nearly sign Jordan last year and would have had there been no such thing as the UFA moratorium.

Gut feeling they sign Conley this summer. GSW want Dirk but there's not much of a point in going to chase another ring.

 

[KaylaJ]

Kawhi (birth of his first child) & Lebron both officially pull out of the Os

 

[SpookyTsuki]

That's a bad trade unless they don't have the money or something. Or signing someone.

 

[aleshemsky83]

That ibaka trade is a shocker

I'm guessing they're gonna use oladipo as a 6th man?

Still This likely doesn't help durant stay
