Off season, free agency, coaching change.

Rockets collecting C's is interesting

Tyus Jones seemed unreasonable, guy trying to find a starting or high minute opportunity to prove he deserves a bigger contract. Clippers are not that for him.

Hawks are really loading up on defenders who can also make plays/shoot.. them and the Rockets have had quality offseasons thus far with their moves. Hawks If healthy they could go pretty far with their depth and versatility on both ends. Young/ZR/Johnson/Okongu/KP is quite a starting five.

Like NAW a lot, would of been a nice add for LAC.

I like Kornet to the Spurs a lot for them.. would of preferred Kornet over B-Lopez. Spurs center spot will always be able to space the floor, and they definitely need to add shooting.

Not sure where Capela is going to play in Houston considering they have Adams and Sengun, unless they plan to play Sengun at PF sometimes. Strange move there it seems.. maybe they'll trade for Giannis? haha

Sux for the Lakers losing DFS.. I don't know he's the same player he used to be with Dallas, but still a solid 3/D big wing. Kind of an upgrade over Dillon Brooks probably for them though, in terms of shooting and intangibles.

MPJ/Cam Johnson trade.. Like that move for Denver. To me thats overall a bit of an upgrade for Denver. MPJ was a semi-weak link in their line up. Guess they had to throw in the R1 pick for Nets to take MPJ contract.

Denver got Bruce Brown back.. which means Russ' is probably gone from there, and of course traded for Cam Johnson.

Big pick ups for them for their depth, and improve some flaws they had from last season. They're gearing up and re-tooling for another title run for sure.

Nice off season for them.. plus, they're probably going to have their R1 pick from 2024 back, in versatile PF DaRon Holmes II

In terms of PGs for us ... Probably CP3. Maybe Cole Anthony after a buyout. We’ll see. I’m very meh on that—although Anthony would be an interesting reclamation project.

I’ll push for him again. Memphis has Herb Jones and Trey Murphy at SF. They have Zion at PF and, I’m sure, are thinking of moving Missi for more minutes at the 4 with the arrival of Derik Queen. They don’t have a lot of room at SF/PF. Get Saadiq Bey from them. He’s a reclamation project worth going after. He was out all of the year last year—though reports said he was ready to play, and the Wiz didn’t want him to. He’d fix a real, whole lot for us, and for not much … offer Drew Eubanks and at least one of the Atlanta second rounders. Pretty sure Eubanks’ contract isn’t guaranteed so the Pels would be getting $6.6 million and a second rounder or two for a guy they’ve got no real room for.

I don't have issues with CP3 as long as he doesn't start and finish games too often (but he probably would).. :/

Still on the Bey train.

Guards are disappearing. CP3? Brogdon left? Outside of trades that is.

Watford out of the big forward pool -- would of liked him to come in as a younger big with some experience, multi-skill.

If Yabusele goes to Denver that'll be a pretty big boost to their depth again and more up front there.

Frank's "just wait until 2027!" excuse is already crumbling:

Lillard is about to turn 35 later this month, so Frank's probably rubbing his hands together like Birdman right now at the prospect of signing him.

Wonderful. Denver cooking this off season too.

Read of mutual interest between Westbrook and the Knicks somewhere... plus Mike Brown?... feels like a Jenga tower

Would rather have odd-PG Ben Simmons back over CP3, if only one will fit...

We’ll see. He’s posted stuff before Shams. Not all the way reliable but has some access to inside stuff.
