King James rules supreme.

So yeah, off season time. Commence.

Re: NBA Offseason Thread 2012

That'd be a horrible trade as well.

Kevin Love is the 2nd best big man in the NBA. The only big man better than him is Dwight. Love is the best PF in the NBA.
I agree it's a bad deal for Minnesota but some GMs overvalue centers. I love both guys though, and it would be tempting to bring in Bynum if you were given the chance.

They're gonna go hard for Steve Nash once free agency starts. That's what everyone's saying.

Looks like Mo Williams has picked up his option so the trade is going down. For those who don't know.
Jazz get Mo Williams
Clippers get Lamar Odom
Mavs get trade exception

Re: NBA Offseason Thread 2012

They get Steve Nash they'll probably make the playoffs but they won't be a championship team. Nash won't be around much longer either, so it'll be useless to put all their eggs in one basket.

But I know one thing, their games will be entertaining as fuck.

They probably could've trade Jose for a draft pick.

And isn't Jose an expiring as well? So they're amnestying a guy who is gonna be in the final year of his contract.

They could've easily traded Jose and got something back in return but maybe they amnesty waived him so they could have more cap space to sign Nash, who knows.

Re: NBA Offseason Thread 2012

Yeah I know they have a plan in place, and I'm definitely interested in seeing it unfold.

I just hope they don't make a terrible mistake. I want to see the Raptors back in the playoffs, their fans deserve it, some of the best fans in the NBA.

I think the Kings got the steal of the draft in Thomas Robinson. Robinson/Cousins is gonna be beastly, and add that in with other young talent like Evans, Thomas, Thornton, Thompson, even Jimmer. I think they'll be in the playoffs, not this year but in the 2013-14 season.

I mistake would have been would have been going off course to trade for Pau and giving up their pick. Even signing Nash doesn't threaten the future and makes them more competitive now and allows them to compete for a low seed in the playoffs (which isn't exactly difficult to get). They have a lot of pieces in place now. JONAS is coming in. A few free agent signings to keep them competitive now and they are on the right track.

Calderon is irrelvent to their future. Their future pieces are Bayless, Bargnani, Ross, Jonas, DeRozan, Davis and in some ways James Johnson. Adding a guy like Nash allows them to be better now, helps mould these guys and doesn't give up any assets. Getting rid of Calderon helps bring in Nash. It's the price you pay.

The Raptors may make the Play-offs, lose in the first round. Nash retires in 1 or 2 years, this will seem like great progress by the ownership but imo its not. I should wait to se where it goes before making more judgement though

Re: NBA Offseason Thread 2012

Really not sure why the Bulls aren't looking at Nash, and letting Rose sitout the entire season.

Do not see the point of him coming back in April, and then playing in a playoff series vs the 1 or 2 seed. And I'm not even that confident they'll make the playoffs like a lot of Bulls fans are.

Re: NBA Offseason Thread 2012

The East is horrible, the only team that shouldn't be in playoff contention in the West next year are NOLA and Phoenix. Portland, Minnesota, Utah, GSW, Sacramento, Houston, Denver should all be in the thick of it for the last spots after LAL, LAC, Dallas, SAS, OKC, and Memphis.

Re: NBA Offseason Thread 2012

Ok so the Lamar Odom trade is done, but it's now a 4-team deal with the Rockets being added, so this is the official deal:
Clippers get Lamar Odom
Jazz get Mo Williams & rights to Shan Foster
Rockets get rights to Furkan Aldemir
Mavs get rights of Tadija Dragevic and cash considerations from Houston

Re: NBA Offseason Thread 2012

KG'S BACK!!!!!

He's agreed to a three year, 34 mil deal and he'll probably retire after the first year.

The Raptors are also expected to offer Steve Nash a contract paying him at least 12 million a year annually.
