The Lebron Thread | 2021 & Offseason

I wonder if NOLA is gonna keep Hill but I think he'll be good for them. Bledsoe isn't a bad fit for them either. Gives them a bit of defense which they definitely need.

[Dupp]

Lots going on. Bucks could end up looking real nice, although still missing a playmaker. Nets could have a **** load of talent.

[dreamshake]

Damn. That Bucks lineup looks scary

Jrue
Bogdan
Middleton
Giannis
BroLo

Jrue
Bogdan
Middleton
Giannis
BroLo

I'm shook

Most talented starting 5 by far

What exceptions do they have?

[nzahir]

We really couldn't have matched that for Bogdan?

[Dupp]

Yeah they got bogdan for peanuts.. bucks killing it

Playmaking / initiating offense still shaky but scary talented

That's the opportunity cost. Schroder souldn't be your first call

I'm sure they talked with Sacramento - they were linked to Bogdan last year. DiVincenzo is a better piece than anything the Lakers would have offered.

Bucks are gonna be dangerous but I still think their title aspirations still hinges on Giannis getting a serviceable jumper

[LikeABosh]

It wasn't. They tried to get Jrue

[nzahir]

That's the opportunity cost. Schroder souldn't be your first call

We couldn't send out 3 1sts and 2 swaps for Jrue, so that was out

I would have loved Bogdan though, but not sure if Kuzma has more value than 2 years of DDV

Should we blow up 2021 FA plans now and go for 2022 (Cp3 ufa and Beal PO)

Who is left in 2021? Assuming Giannis, Jrue, Kawhi, and PG stay

Lowry
Dipo
Gobert
Derozan
Hayward
Conley

Many are maybes

Donte is a significantly better asset than Kuzma. What do the Lakers have?

Be happy you got Schroeder...though you could send Kuzma to my bulls

I disagree. He needs to be smarter off-ball and get the ball in better spots. Fight for position and set up at the elbow or in the post instead of driving into a wall. Jumper is nice, but his primary focus needs to be getting as close to the restricted area as possible.

If the Clippers don't win then I could see George and/or Kawhi leaving. The amount of pressure they will face for losing will be huge.

Giannis needs to start developing a face up game. There is no reason for him not to add that in his repoire. He should watch some old Robinson or Hakeem tape.

Yeah, that too. He doesn't even need a jumpshot if he's close enough. Just be like Shaq and use the one-handed push shot

[Prez]

New lineup reminds me of the 18-19 Bucks on steroids. Jrue >> Bled, Bogdan is around Brogdon level IMO but a much better fit offensively, Khris is significantly better now than in 2018, and ideally Giannis will be better as well. Can't compete with the Lakers on top end talent but you now have 5 creators/shotmakers in the lineup (Brook included).

Lakers still have to be the favorites but I think this is a competitive matchup now. Of course if Brooklyn gets Harden it might be a wrap lol.

[letskissbro]

I might be off on this but this Bucks hype feels like the hype the Jazz were getting last year after getting Conley and Bojan. Like yeah they sound really well built and balanced on paper but I'm not sure I can believe in a Giannis led offense unless he's got an all-NBA level floor general/scoring guard to run PnR with.

I'm not talking specifically about Bogdan.
