i have something to say about the offseason THE 2016 NBA OFFSEASON

kind of sad. a lot of smart ppl were saying he could be a great nba coach, needed the right situation, and would be a good hire for a young developing team (ie like the team that actually hired him) but i wonder w/ all the stories that came out if it would have been super difficult to get players' respect or attract free agents.

he prob would've been decent for the nets or magic, but the latter did better by getting vogel and the former going w/ one of bud's assistants (iirc?) was also a shockingly reasonable move for the prokhorov brain trust

yeah the nets have made some seemingly smart hires which makes me feel sad for those dudes cuz it's gonna be a few years before they're even in a year zero situation.

Just realized we may have seen the last of Craig Sager working the sidelines :(

lol

Craig Sager did 8 straight days of chemo while working the playoffs, didn't miss a game.

lmao

he'll find more than 3.3 mil somewhere

knicks will sign him in a heartbeat

yeah that one makes sense to me plus i bet he secretly hates playing for doc lol

yeah

i posted it mainly for the lols of dad trades for his own son, son opts out to play somewhere else

So apparently the Hawks and sixers are talking about a Teague/Noel swap

Horford in San Antonio looking more likely every day.

Thought this would be as ridiculous as the title suggests but makes at least an interesting point.

i like teague but this feels like a heist for the hawks

yeah the sixers should be able to do way better than teague if they want to move noel

Horford in San Antonio looking more likely every day.

Is this the buzz in Atl? Haven't heard anything specific about Horford in sa.

REMEmber reading a story about it somewhere, but if there's word they're looking to bring in Noel it adds up.

heard rumblings of the magic really trying to pony up for horford which i think would be intriguing for both sides

and then shop vooch?

austin rivers playing with ten stitches and one eye mostly closed in the final playoff game with the blazers probably upped his value by at least half a mil. he even finished a few nice drives in the second half.

and then shop vooch?

maybe you see if they can play together if not yeah he'd be a decent trade piece

you can't really play them together and also play aaron gordon who i thought was supposed to be their Future

yeah right they'd have a bit of a glut there but most teams don't have the problem of having too many good players

The magic are kind of stacked but also not good which is an odd combo

I keep going back and forth on Elf Payton

I still don't really believe that Austin Rivers belongs in the NBA

al horford turns 30 tomorrow and he's already slowing down. i don't think anyone should be giving him a fat contract unless they're desperate to upgrade just for the next season or two - and that doesn't suit the magic's timeline.

celtics are still a good fit for that timeline

maybe. i'm very low on horford.

the magic tried to sign millsap last offseason they're clearly trying to accelerate and/or sign players anyone has ever heard of. the tobias harris trade was essentially a salary dump so they're gonna do something.

idk how the magic think they'll attract a marquee free agent without a star already in place.

on the other hand, their best players (except for fournier) are all on contract through at least 2018. imo they should have some patience and spend the next season making a run at the playoffs, developing their young players value and setting up orlando as a destination where a free agent might actually achieve something. aaron gordon is only 20, now's not the time to be throwing money at an aging centre.

fournier is going to get paid, btw.

i think the thinking w/ horford is that he might come back to that part of florida

is orlando really a place people go home to

fournier is really intriguing

def

moving noel, on the hook for 2 (?) more years before his first off-rookie scale contact which would almost certainly be signed with the sixers for money reasons, in exchange for a one yr teague rental is maybe not the best plan for the closest thing to an nba player currently on their roster
