2020 NBA Offseason

Damn. I really liked Kanter. 

[DG_ThenNowForever 15,429]

Huge money for Dragic! Good for him.

 

Enes Kanter can't play in the playoffs. He's lucky there's a market for him.

 

The Lakers replaced Danny Green and Rajon Rondo (presumably) with Wes Matthews and Denis Schroeder. Not an overwhelming upgrade, but a slight one in total. I think I'd rather have DG than Wes, but Schroeder has way many better days ahead of him than Rondo. If Rondo stays, it's really just icing on the cake.

Oh I'm very interested

Raptors in Tampa but you have to be a sociopath to actually go to a game. Cruel!

If Tampa now jumps the line over Seattle for a new or relocated franchise I'll explode.

 

That's fair and, objectively, I would agree. Seattle's return is long overdue one way or another and shouldn't wait a second longer than it absolutely has to. And it's not like Tampa is going to quite get an OKC-like opportunity in that it's not like they'll be able to fill Amalie with 20,000 people for these games, either. 

 

I'll just root for Tampa to make the best impression they can under the circumstances, fully aware that, in all likelihood, having Orlando two hours away will still likely keep the NBA out of Tampa on a full-time basis in the end, even if, in my completely biased opinion, Tampa is a better city and location than Orlando is.

Kill me. We lowball our best-ever player but somehow have $30 million a year to throw at an injury-prone player who hasn't had a good year since 2017? Just brilliant moves from MJ and the front office.

Michael Jaundice has never had a clue about running a team.

Celtics were apparently trying to get a Sign & Trade deal with Indy for Turner, Oladipo or Warren. Since Hayward wanted to go back to Indy. 

Then MJ burst in and said ":censored: that take this money" LOL

 

MJ has to be one of the worst GMs in the league. He's there because he's MJ, not because he's a competent GM. 

[DG_ThenNowForever 15,429]

Surprising to see Bradley leave a championship team but okay.

 

MJ has a real boner for white guys. I don't get it.

[the admiral 28,267]

Well, Jordan is the greatest Try-Hard Grinder Guy who ever lived. So what if he wasn't white?

[Digby 6,127]

Would’ve liked to get Turner out of the deal of Hayward walking. Oh well. Hope for his sake he can get back to all-star form if he’s a 1 or 2 option again. Because that is a ridiculous contract.

It's almost like the Hornets traded Kemba Walker to the Celts for a player to named later and that player was Hayward.

Sixers got Dwight Howard to back up Embiid.  I had no idea that dude was still playing - and that he is still only 34.

Howard or Embiid?
