2016 Official NBA Off-Season Thread: Former Greatness

KD will stay in OKC,,money wise and championship chances are within reach for him i dont see him in different team uniform

 

[ill steelo]

Not sure why KD doesn't visit Minnesota. His loss...

Not sure why he doesn't visit an organization that hasn't made the playoffs in 13 years? The audacity.

 

[slick vitale]

Probably has a deal in place to salary dump dragic, if a verbal agreement could be met

Word is that he got a good amount of offers for him before/during the draft. Probably has a deal in place if ish hits the fan

Good luck trying to find takers for a 30 year old pg who's declining and still owed about $70 million

Lol Dragic's a good point guard on a good contract. If they wanted to trade him, doubt they would have an issue

 keep telling yourself that

A 30 year old pg whose numbers have dipped 2 years in a row and is still owed over $70 million over the next 4.

I'm sure plenty of teams would love to have that.

Teams like Dallas, Hou, Kings or Spurs wouldn't pick up the phone quick AF?

Think they'd rather pay guys like Conley the max/near max instead?

Cool. I like Dragic and I don't believe in this pipe dream in the first place. Happy to see him stay if that's the alternative

 

[casper90403]

Dragic was always overrated but there will be plenty of suitors for him. Pretty much any decent player with years left on a contract these days is considered a steal

Exactly. He's eating off those days with the Suns where he was legit putting up strong #'s

 

[shotsrangout]

KD is going to the Knicks

Why wouldn't he come to the Mecca

 

[casper90403]

The Knicks are a serious threat. I think they have a better shot than the Spurs.

 

[rolaholic]

KD's tryna up his ring count not brand presence

 

[geoff2005]

this. Knicks look good on paper so far, but you cant say they are championship ready

 

[Based Jesus]

KD is staying in Oklahoma at least another year

 

[slick vitale]

I think the most realistic chances (so far) of any major FA switching teams right now is Whiteside to LA.

 

[everysingletime]

Spurs really got cap room like that? I don't think Spurs got a realistic chance.

 

[rook]

KD isn't leaving OKC. Russ ain't either tbh

 

[noblekane]

And this is me you're talking to?


Take this and run guys...Jesus. I never mentioned Minnesota's chances of landing him. I just wondered aloud why not visit Minnesota and my explanation above is my reason for that. Simmer with these attacks. I'm not a Lakers fan yo.

i guess we can see whos gonna be the new doo be doo of the nba thread

 

[junglejim]

I've been told if the Lakers let Clarkson walk, than OKC fans (and KD) should be worried.

Probably won't happen, but if it does, someone has made the Lakers feel like he's coming to play for them.

Not sure if serious

 

[noblekane]

KD's tryna up his ring count not brand presence

lets see....

go to a west where there are 4 serious threats for a title and two up and coming teams waiting in the wings OR

go to a star wars trash compactor known as the eastern conference where the only hurdle is whichever team lebron is on?

And the Knicks are his best shot at that?

Might as well go to Miami if he wants to head East

 

[a-friend]

Savage?

I don't really get how Miami is going to feasibly sign kd without letting a bunch of people go. Didn't they already say they were offering Whiteside less than the max due to cap constraints?

 

[noblekane]

whiteside not staying for less than the max. not at all. he could tell the media that his momma raised him with pat riley so hes staying all he wants but if he aint getting the max he gone

[noblekane]
