2021 Playoff and Offseason Speculation - the playoffs. PLAYOFFS????

I wonder if the Jazz will try to replace Conley with Lowry. I think he could fit well for them.

Interesting name and he would probably help them. Hell, he can help anybody. Looks like the Jazz if they rescind everybody - can get to about $30m of cap space (it was a quick and dirty look so maybe high 20's). But I like the name for them. But who knows, maybe they bring Conley back and a lower rate too.,

I kind of hope Lowry stays in the East.

I feel like Draymond Green stupid ass is gonna be trying to recruit Booker to GSW during the Olympics run this summer.

He’s already said it publicly how Booker should leave Phoenix.

Sucks that most of these star players today barely have any competitive bones left in them. I have massive respect for Lillard because of this.

That was a couple years ago. If anything. Draymond will be wanting to play with the Suns. The Warriors do not have anything to offer Booker really: Curry is older (and they want to extend him); Klay is coming off two years without hoops; Green is not getting younger; Wiseman, who knows where his skill level will lead; they are capped out with guys like Wiggins and Looney. Don't get me wrong, three titles in five years and very close to five for five. But the Suns are on the rise - the Warriors are on the decline.

Why? Conley was an all star this year while Lowry wasn't and Conley is 2 years younger and they had the best record in the NBA with Conley.

MVP - out
DPOY - out
6th MOY - out

3 out of the 5 all NBA team gone with a 4th possible tonight.

All before the conference finals. What a year.

Well if we go to the finals, I thought the Olympic team wasn't taking players in the finals? I also don't see how the money works.

Nets eliminated from playoffs, things are lining up, this championship is there for the taking. This team needs to show up and get the work done tomorrow. Never has there been a better shot for this team go all the way, everyone left is vulnerable.

Completely agree!

I thought Conley struggled to stay on the floor the last 2 years. Lowry might be more durable.

They both actually did.

Book has what, 3 years left on his deal? No way anything Draymond says will have any effect. Even if it did, there's no way a deal gets done unless they are trading Steph for Book.

Doubt the Suns would make that deal as Steph is 33, makes a ton more money and has two less years on his deal. I don't want to be debating in two years whether I want to extend a 35 year old Steph.

I'd much rather be offering Book another Max to stay in Phoenix at age 28.

Going to be interesting to see who the networks use as their hype machines to draw interest into these series. Obviously, it's a little easier in the East with Giannis, and Trae/Embiid.

I don't think Paul George is all that marketable, and with Kawhi and Chris Paul out indefinitely, it's going to be interesting to see if they start jumping on the Book bandwagon.

I am not sure the Warriors should extend Steph before they need too. Pay him after his career 40m if you want to make good with him.

They'll market Giannis vs Embiid/Young and PG vs Booker as long as Kawhi and CP3 are out

Going to be interesting this offseason - if the Suns do make it to the Finals - well even if they do not - how many veterans (Blake, Carmelo, etc) - will find them a more attractive option on the veterans minimum

Been thinking the same. Could definitely see Melo coming to Phoenix. Griffin might want another run with Brooklyn. Dwight Howard would be a name I'd also be looking at.

I would prefer Torrey Craig over Carmelo Anthony at this point of his career.

I would too. But just depends on the budget of course and if other teams can offer Craig more. Or do offer him more.

I'm still bringing Craig back no matter what. For me, he's got BAE written all over him.

In terms of Melo, he'd be our Frank upgrade. I think Melo has something that the rest of our bench (outside of Payne) lacks, the ability to go off and get 20+ on a given night. Johnson, Saric, Frank, Craig, etc. they're all great bench players, but you know they're probably only scoring 12 or so on a good night.

[Barkley6]

With Dinwiddie hitting the FA market, I wonder how that effects Payne. Dinwiddie will likely be looking for a starting gig, which probably will means no one is offering Payne starter money, if they can get Dinwiddie instead for the same cost.
