2016 Official NBA Off-Season Thread: Former Greatness

[Peep Game]

"Yeah, we are definitely done here.

Find the offseason thread.

If some of you happen to... not find it...

*kanye shrug*"

i knew immediately that thread would go down fast once race was mentioned

The way I see it, he scheduled six meetings with teams but there's no way in hell he's going to play for boston or miami.

That leaves only okc, lac, spurs, or gsw. The idea that kd would go to the team that just beat him and won 73 games WITHOUT YOU is so unlikely I personally dont consider gsw as a likely destination.

Which means we have a shot

I know KD loves CP and considers him one of his bestfriends so we'll see

Still think he resigns with okc though.

How do the clippers make a KD signing work though? They have 77M in guaranteed salary already plus cap holds which puts them at 83Mish. They going to go into a meeting with KD and offer him $11M and try to sign everyone else to veterans minimums?

I'm not try to hate, I honestly would like to know.

^ assuming sign and trade with Blake

If the Clippers trade Griffin for Crowder, Brown, and future picks, they have enough room for max KD with a 100k paycut @celticsblog

And of course if the above doesn't happen it would have to be via a S&T involving Blake Griffin. Hope that PP retires, that clears up some more room. Renounce all your FA's and go from there. Or you can go about it like this

Could try to trade Blake to a different team for cheap contracts/picks, sign KD outright.

I'd imagine they already have some sort of skeleton in regards to how they would pull it off or else they wouldn't be meeting with KD. Clips get creative, move Blake via S&T with OKC, and go from there.

 

[picasso swerve]

Sabonis nice though.

 

[casper90403]

clippers need to let OKC know that a sign and trade for Blake would be a great option for them.

Assuming that works?

is that Jaylen Brown?

 

[Based Jesus]

No interest in having a courtesy meeting with Durant.

If he doesn't want to come here we should move on to guys who might sign here. No reason to waste time.

Dude's in OUR city entertaining OTHER organizations and MIGHT deign to see us 

 

[shoeking2102]

is that Jaylen Brown?

Yessir 

 

[mgrand15]

Clips wouldn't really have any leverage to make that Blake trade if KD committed.

 

[casper90403]

Yessir 

that would work?

I dislike Jaylen Brown, but adding Crowder, Jaylen, and KD for Blake?

what does this mean?

 

[mgrand15]

In that hypothetical, Blake would HAVE to go if KD is going to get that max. I'm guessing that'll bring his value down a notch.

thats what we are saying. Not sure how that would bring Blakes value down. If anything, it would bring it up, no? OKC surely would take Blake in a trade if KD told them he was leaving, right?

I've been talking about Blake for KD swap for years. Blake a OK kid who will sell tickets. They would still win 50+.

DREAMING I KNOW

 

[awwsome]

Blake in OKC would be.


Dude is LOVED there.

 

[classic94]

   cant wait to see these 2 play together

 

[casper90403]

Adams
Blake
Roberson
Oladipo
Westbrook

Kanter, Waiters, Sabonis, Ilyasova

Still 50+ wins.

[pmatic]

I don't think it's a given Waiters is re-signed.

 

[casper90403]

The Teeth

I think I root more for him because of it. Feel for him. But he's rich now. Will get fixed in 2 years.

I'm pretty sure he's gone.. Unless he's cheap, which I doubt

 

[casper90403]

let Waiters walk into obscurity. Take whatever money is thrown at you

 

[IATT]

Sign and trade him.. Which I assume we do.. Get a trade exemption or something

Didn't really think about KD for Blake in a sin and trade. That changes things. OKC would definitely do it if KD tells them he's gone.

But if Blake HAS to go - that definitely brings his value down. It's like a team with 2 PGs that can't play together. They'll never get full value on whoever they trade, you know?
