**OFFICIAL 2019 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD**

[shotsrangout]

James Harden is a point guard.

Don’t do this

 

[B Sox]

They’d be a fool not to want him. He’s the goods. Arguably the 2nd the best player in the league at his position. And he’s 25

Sounds about right.

Anyways, how do Lakers fans feel about Beal?

He’s eligible for DPVE if he gets the nod. He and Wall would torpedo their budget in two years so I doubt they give it to him.

Not a Laker fan but he would be a perfect fit with Bron. Idk how much I’d trade for him though.

 

[WASHED KING]

Gotta do better than Magic City Jarrett.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Lakers should take what they can get

Rather have klay over Beal even though Beal may be better suited as a #1 option

Temp check - Would you do Zo and Kuz?

 

[Cashflow]

Lakers Sub .500 Season Magic Number is now 5!

 

[B Sox]

Without thinking twice if you’re the Lakers. Wizards would probably need more in return though.

 

[jumpman91023]

You think he’s better than klay and oladipo?

Assuming you have James at #1 obviously

Im a huge Oladipo guy and I think Beal is better.

Beal is gonna get knocked because he got closer to his ceiling earlier in his career whereas people are just getting on Vic now because it took him 5 years to become the player he is now. I hate it for wizard fans but Beal has to get to a better situation.

I agree it's probably too low. I don't know that it would necessitate BI getting lumped in, but there's definitely pick/player filler to be worked out.

 

[BIG FISH]

Absolutely. I wouldn’t give up all 3 though.

I don’t think he’s reached his ceiling. He’s almost at 7 assists per game as the primary playmaker and that’s with a bunch of high level bench guys around him

He’s the goods

 

[blastercombo]

I know what Love's is. It looks hideous on those uniforms.

Oh I think they’re all trash

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Zion came back and dropped 29 on 13-13

 

[blastercombo]

She says nothing, yall would throw a fit. She stands up in front of 20k people and condemns that ****, and yall aren't happy.

Donovan Mitchell ain't speak up soon enough.

Some of yall are just flat out insufferable.

No she didn’t she just asked them to stop doing it in front of everyone

 

[buc em]

Considering the Wizards are essentially ****ed with keeping Wall at that contract why are they trading away their only good piece for a deal with Lonzo as one of the headliners?

 

[blastercombo]

Im no political expert, but looking back the presidential election in 2016 should give a hindsight utah as a whole supports the current president MAGA approach.

“We’re not a racist community”

- votes almost 100% for an open racist

They are capped out permanently with Beal. They can bottom out like Brooklyn until that wall deal is up.

 

[amitt5504]

Silver needs to do the lords work and bring back the amnesty for this summer. Makes things much more interesting

 

[drewsone]

Move the Jazz to Seattle man lol

Neither guy has reached it, I meant that Beal got to his status sooner.

 

[antidope]

I thought about that too. But what does that do for Beal? Except the money obviously

 

[B Sox]

Absolutely. I wouldn’t give up all 3 though.

I agree, but then this goes back to having to give the Lakers front office flack. If you have Fox instead of Lonzo, the deal can probably be done with just Fox and Big Clarkson. If you still had DLo, you could have moved him or BI and would’ve likely been good.

Same kind of stuff goes for the AD trade. Fox or DLo being in a deal instead of Lonzo probably gets it done. Just don’t think Lonzo is viewed on the potential all-star tier like those guys are because of his offensive limitations.

 

[trynafeelmink]

the wizards with Bradley Beal & Wall have been a perennial 4-8 seed in the East, I like his game A lot but the goal is to build a team that could become contenders... Lebron at this age & Bradley Beal at the max.... while also trading our young players is not getting us anywhere near that.

Now if L.A could somehow sign a second Star this summer, then trading two of the young guys for Beal may just be a good move.
