⭐ OFFICIAL 2020-2021 NBA Off-Season Thread: Olympics begin 7/23; NBA Draft 7/29⭐

[lawdog1]

laurie is a restricted free agent and Lavine has a year after this and would require the max.

will the bulls want to invest in those two? How far will they go? Fringe playoffs at best?

that was my thinking

I kind of get it, but does that really make the Bulls better off long-term than just hanging on to Zach? Likelihood they get someone better via draft or FA in the near term is pretty low.

Obi Toppin should be on the trading block

Outside of catching a wide open oop, that dude is terrible. I thought he’d be a lot better than this.

 

[MajinZuub]

Obi has played not even half a season and y'all are writing him off

Y'all did the same **** to Barrett

Collins is going to be a RFA too. Why would they trade Lavine players and still have to pay Collins? They’d actually be a worse team from that deal.

From Division III to US National Team Hopeful!

Heat to use COVID-detecting dogs on fans when arena re-opens


The Miami Heat are planning to allow fans into AmericanAirlines Arena again starting on Jan. 28, and those fans can expect the usual gamut of COVID-19 precautions: mandatory masks, social distancing, increased cleaning, limited attendance.

And dogs.

Around 1,500 fans are expected to be allowed into games, limited to season ticket holders.

Even fans who have received the COVID-19 vaccine will be required to undergo the process, though the Heat say these dogs have been “specifically trained to identify active virus.” If a person is, say, uncomfortable around dogs or highly allergic, the Heat say they can undergo an alternative testing method for entry at no cost, but will take up to 45 minutes.

An early-stage study just last month saw detection dogs trained for one to three weeks identified between 76 percent and 100 percent of coronavirus-positive samples from underarm swabs.

Barrett’s shooting numbers are atrocious. Somebody legit just pointed it out in here this week. Think it was addict4sneakers

 

[Moheezy]

Collins is also a restricted free agent though

And Reddish is just a random role player.

I’ve been swindling people in Fantasy trades so I guess I’m just in a high lol

Has he not improved from his first year? He's in the middle of year 2 right now. If you don't want to use Barrett as an apt comparison there's BI who yall wrote off for a good 3 years, Hayward who took 3/4 years to be good, Giannis.
Point stands.

I hate this city lol

my thinking was that Collins was the best player in the trade and the youngest. Plus I’d bet that Lavine and Collins will wear different jerseys by next year

 

[amitt5504]

Haven’t seen Jo this happy since forever. Fun teammate Dwert >>>>

 

[youngwolf]

What’s the song?

Collins definitely isn't the best player in the trade though

Him and Lauri probably somewhat close to a wash too.

It’s Jb team anyway. Word to bostoiah

I think Collins has a higher potential than Lavine

i think Collins has the highest potential. Zack just started to hit his peak.

Laurie is having a decent season but he was stagnant the last two seasons and even gotten worse. Plus I’m always weary of players who suddenly improve during contract years. They cash out then go back to their averages.
Collins was a beast last year and took a step back this year for different reasons.

but I’d put Lavine and Collins in the same category. Not Laurie tho.

 

[dman14]

dwight a great mentor to embiid

JB the more likable one. Met him back in 2017. Real cool dude

Nets getting dominated by bigs Allen, Drummond, and Nance is a warning to Sean Marks and Steve Nash.
