2025 Offseason Season Thread Vol. 1

[3ammy3uck3ts]

There's no point of us trying to tank this upcoming season. Even if we don't make any improvements to the roster, Herro, Bam, and Spo will net us 35+ wins again next season (at the very least). We'll just waste another year of Bam's prime and end up with another pick that's in the 15-20 range lol.

We're probably 'lucky' we only won 37 games this season.. losing 16 games by less than 4 points probably isn't likely to occur again.

It sounds fun sometimes and like the best option, if we would’ve lost the Play In we’d be deciding if we want Cooper Flagg or Giannis right now (not getting into conspiracy theory battles) but this organization will simply not tank, ever. It’s pointless discussion

Duncan’s contract is finally going to pay off lol

[Wiltside]

MWP may be right. Kleiman being tight with Riley could finally pay off.

Shame it is when KD is 37 and not when he left GSW the first time, but he's still a Top 10 player in the NBA even at his age.

[Wiltside]

Kevin Durant for Jaime Jaquez, Terry Rozier, Duncan Robinson, Kevin Love and Pick 20 would work. Provided they waive Micic and Cody Martin.

Whether they'd accept it is another thing.

Only hope is that using Duncan's contract to get out of the tax is a priority for PHX because that is one helluva poopoo platter.

We got this Wilt

“Rich Kleiman, a prominent figure in sports media, has a notable connection to Pat Riley. Kleiman often discusses and shares insights related to Riley's career, particularly in his role as the president of the Miami Heat. He has even written articles and posts about Riley's contributions to the NBA, including the Heat's first title team”

Yep, fair poopoo platter.

Maybe we offer a swap in a future year too...

JJ was always a real one. Wish he was at the end of our bench instead of Love tbh.

Last time i chatted with this dude on the podcast and he was downplaying the Heat but now Shams says Heat have been talking to Kleiman they are on his list now but of course last. I think he may be living off the 5 mins of KD fame and starting to question how in tune into these talks he really is. He was pumping Houston hard at the start of this and now has backed off

Real recognize real always. Damn would be nice to have him here in that enforcer role. Always feels like we are so soft with this recent team build and Kevin Love is a softy

Always got love for Manbearpig. Seeing him come out of nowhere to be a monster was a great story. Shame that he got lazy once he got paid, but the same could be said for basically everyone from that 11-30/30-11 crew.

So he's doing his job lol

Does he think other agencies just rollover and let their clients be traded anywhere. Everybody does this. Its how the game is played

We only have a couple guys on the roster that could play and actually impact these finals if I’m being completely honest, KD will make 3 if we retain Davion

I dunno, the Pacers have just jelled at the right time. It's not like any of the guys on their roster are significantly more talented than Bam, Herro and potentially Durant. Their roster is also weaker than OKC, but they're still up 2-1 so far.

It's all about finding the right guys in the right roles. I do think we're still too short on shot creation, and having a proper pure PG would alleviate some of these concerns.

I'd feel pretty confident we can find our role players (the Nesmith, Nembhard, McConnell's of the world) amongst the young guys we have on the team though.
