OFFSEASON THREAD, VOL. REALLY HOT

I love Bam. but he is not consistent on offense. Yes he will improve because he's so young and has not really entered his real prime yet.

But I would trade BAM for a KD, although I want Lowry gone too because he's trash and would hurt us in the playoffs.

All that matters is another ring or two.

If trading BAM.... if that gets us just -1- ring, was it worth it?

the answer is yes.

Bam will never carry any team to any ring. So all this talk of 10+ years of Bam, is whatever to me. Superstars win rings.

With the amount of old, injured players on our roster, we can add Mayo and call them The Mayo Clinic.

One would think something is in the works, Right???

My only guess is Riley forcing Yurt/Bam on Spo

My sig is looking juicier by the minute.

Giving O’prophecy a run for his money if it comes to fruition.

I’m on my hands and knees at this point

I look at the Nets roster with some of the moves they are making this offseason and it’s possible they are thinking there’s a bigger chance then we think of Durant and Irving coming back. O’Neal and Warren are both solid fits with Durant. Mills coming back. They are playing everybody.

Nets setting us up for Mo Hopeless and Avery Bradley 2.0 offseason.

Patiently awaiting the ICC breakfast update

Have a feeling we’re gonna be dissapointed and the delays are just negotiating a deal for Caleb to be back and anything else are minimum contracts

Pat will say we have enough and we are supposed to believe that the exact same team minus pj and with jovic is supposed to be better than last years team while every East contender got better

Yurt ain't a rim protector with a 7'6 wingspan though. If he can play that baseline roaming role between corner 3 and helpside rim protection that would be amazing. But, I'm concerned his footspeed and wingspan combo is not quite up to snuff for it.

The Williams/Horford defensive combo is why I was so fascinated with a Bamba addition. Bam-Bamba would've been a superior version of it IMO

Just wait til Durant gets to talk with Royce O'Neal and TJ Warren. They'll convince him to stay so that big 3 can make a run for a ship.

EDIT: Plus Westbrook, of course

The more I think about it the more I would have called the Nets on told them "listen this is the biggest/best package you're going to get lmk if you want to do because if I hang up this phone I'm done with this talk". I would have then turned around and called Utah "First of all....phuck you Ainge, second of all this is my offer for Donovan lmk, cause I'm not going to be doing this a whole week, I'll simply take my marbles and leave." and then would have pivoted to how we can fill out the roster with the best available free agents. I would never sit around waiting to see if a team feels like trading player xy&z today. This would be the second time we get screwed over waiting a whole month or more for a team to decide if they are going to pull the trigger or not. This would be the second time in recent memory where we get burned THE SAME EXACT WAY.

PS Phuck Durant such a weak minded Diva. Hours before free agency.... really? couldn't have waited a little bit, no. Snek : "Hey no one is talking about me and I want attention, everyone look at me I want to be traded, don't you want to give up 13 players on your team and every pick for the next 20 years for my young 34 year old self? I **** hate that dude.

Almost time for a new thread. Would be fitting if IceCold dropped some sizzling insider premium cuts to christen it.

Yep, he basically screwed some NBA teams and made the FA more about himself. That sounds insecure beta to me.

Phuck em, Herro, Duncan, Picks. They even think about it I hang up the phone and never pick up again. It's beyond ridiculous that this snek is holding up free agency and when it's all said and done we get left with not even phucking Beno Udrih cause they got scooped up by all the other teams smart enough to say phuck this **** let this drama queen lay where he is.
