2022 NBA Offseason Thread: Preseason kicks off; Things are fine in Los Angeles, Draymond beats the charges

Is Cousins going to get anything more than a Minimum?

Mavs could have used that on him and still had the MLE

I'm kinda iffy about them spending it on McGee

So, the Spurs or Pacers? Who else has cap space

Just can't put into words how much of an anchor russ's contact has been to team building for LAL the last two offseasons. I say that as someone who was honestly pretty high on LAL for next year if they could get off of Russ.

Wenyen, Stanley, Austin, Damian Jones, THT, Nunn, Troy brown JR, like it's amazing to me what they're surrounding Bron and AD with.

Lakers don’t seem to understand team building right now…They went from loading up on washed 50 year olds to young dudes that where out of their last teams rotation with one foot out the league

It was predictable they would try to overcorrect tho , but same results …N the guy supposed to be the bridge between AD/Bron n the new players is still Westbrook

The Knicks did it!

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Ayton, Sexton, Bridges, Porter, GPII, Rubio, Warren

Where these dudes going

Hmm, 26 a year for Brunson. I figured Dallas would go up to 25 but who knows

Interesting

I'm just hoping Dolan is gone soon.

 

[Based Jesus]

I'm sure he'll opt out after 3 years of Thibs playing him 42 mpg

Outbibidding your closest competitor by like $30 million is a strategy.

Seems that's it I guess

Money is drying up for these guys right... hmm

there aint enough baggy pants you could offer MJ to make him take this deal for charlotte. they could wait to the trade deadline to do a fire sale and get draft picks for hayward and rozier

 

[D StaXX]

GP definitely deserves a bag but I’d hate to live in either of those places

 

[nick.]

oh my god we signed a 25 year old that plays our biggest position of need to a deal that makes him the 15th highest paid at that position

edit: the cap is projected to increase to $136M in 23-24 then to $142M in 24-25 how will we ever recover

Same **** that happened with THjr .....

But unlike THJr .. there was a similar offer by the Mavs so ...

So....ain't no 2k dropping next year.

Different cover, same crap every year.

 

[MajinZuub]

Do not bet with this man

 

[shuges]

Can't remember if I read this or saw this on tv but it was said that Nets could lock KD in a room, give Kyrie the max, and still have both guys back and happy. That this was KD & Kyrie pulling out the nuclear option.

Nets might be in enough of a panic mode to actually bring them both back now.

The 2 teams KD offered could be bluffs because they both have nothing the Nets really covet.

Either way, Nets lost.

What exactly was the bet?

 

[frshstunna]

Knicks can’t help themselves, especially at the PG position…hate to see it
