Maybe. I think it might take 2 years for Durant to get right and they all signed for 4 I think.

KevShmev · « **Reply #1156 on:** June 30, 2019, 07:16:34 PM »

I'll be surprised if Durant is ever the player again that he was before. Those achilles injuries are career killers.

Horford to the 6'ers.

Butler to Miami

Butler is his own worst enemy.

76rs and Celtics are likely bottom seeded playoff teams now. If the Raps don’t get Leonard, they will be too.

How so?

Bucks
Pacers
Raptors w/Leonard
6ers
Celts

That Leonard out and the Raps are out of the Top 5.

The Nets will NOT finish above the Philly or Boston. I hope that's not what you're implying.

We all thought the C's were the #1 seed last year. How'd that turn out? So we will all have see how free agency progresses and see how next season does as well.

I'm not saying they're going to win the conference, but I'm not sure who has moved past them. They were the 4 seed this year and were a clusterfuck all season long. Granted, Olidipo getting hurt helped them.

I'm not worried about the Nets this season. Moving forward, it may be different.

Not sure how the Pacers leapfrog the NBA Champs. Maybe the Celts hold on to #4, but with Butler, I think Miami jumps up to at least 5-6 seed - along with the Nets. Both could push up to 4. 76rs are dropping. Dis Butler all you want, his talent is undeniable.

Did not see that coming. Rumour is Memphis is gonna re-sign Valanciunas, so it seems they are looking to improve right now.

Bucks signed Robin Lopez. With both Lopez brothers domination is inevitable.

I just read that they could flip him. My fingers are crossed.

Samsara · « **Reply #1177 on:** July 01, 2019, 12:35:31 PM »

I am so down, I am wishing the Wolves would flip Teague's expiring 19 million, Dieng's 33 mil (two years) and Wiggins' 127 million (4 years) to the Wizards for Beal...and John Wall's albatross contract. That's how down I am. At least then, Wolves would have Towns and Beal. Gives Wizards salary cap relief in consecutive seasons, which is what they want. We could sweeten the deal with a lottery protected first rounder.

Ugh. So disappointed.

Swooping in at the 11th hour and putting a better deal on the table to the Nets to get D'Angelo Russell. We had him, and then GS jumped in, and we were done.

bosk1 · « **Reply #1180 on:** July 01, 2019, 12:42:44 PM »

Oh. If it's any consolation, I'm not sure they are intent on keeping him. He seems like an odd fit for their style of play. So it may be part of a sign-and-trade. But not sure. With KD and Iguodala gone, and Klay out for next season, it's hard to say what they have in mind.

My hope and prayer is, they will trade with Minnesota D'Angelo wanted to play with Karl, and was fully committed to signing. But I think what happened was that Minnesota was finding their trade partners who had cap room signing people, and it was getting more difficult to come up with a financial pathway. I'm hoping, sincerely hoping, that the Warriors ultimately send him to Minnesota. Everyone who is a Minny fan was CRUSHED yesterday. But who knows.

The Warriors are going to retired jersey #35, they should retire #8 as well.

Once a serious MVP candidate, Isaiah Thomas now becomes just another journeyman... IT is signing a one year deal with the Wiz

Seems that John Wall will miss some major time this season. I really do wish Isaiah well. He should've been the MVP in his last season here. He put that team on his back, and it was one of the most amazing experiences of my sports life here.

I've been a huge fan of Thomas since he came into the league. You know I have no love for the Celtics, but what he did for that team was unbelievable. To be honest, Ainge should have signed him back this season to be a primary backup guard to Walker and Brown. Really a shame he didn't. Ainge did Thomas wrong. And even though I get it, that it was the best thing for the Celtics, given the injury, it still stings.

After days of thinking, Kawhi decides to join the Clippers... The Clippers also get Paul George from OKC via trade, details to come

jingle.boy · « **Reply #1187 on:** July 06, 2019, 04:55:03 AM »

That's a bummer. I was hoping for a 2-year bridge deal with Toronto that would get him to super-max territory, but alas, the allure of doing it all over again (taking a team over the top) back home was too much. I'm thrilled he didn't go to the Lakers. That would've been bad for the league.

The West just got an overhaul, that's for sure.

Interesting how both finals teams will (most likely) be vying just to be a bottom seeded playoff team. But come 2020/21, both ought to be back in the mix (with Clay back, and Raptors having tons of money to spend).

KevShmev · « **Reply #1188 on:** July 06, 2019, 06:08:17 AM »

Lakers got trolled for a week. Love it. Savage move by Leonard to not only not go there, but to go to the Clippers.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #1189 on:** July 06, 2019, 10:35:56 AM »

Sorry Chad. That cat drums to his own weird beat. To pick the Clippers seems so damn weird even though he's a L.A. guy.
