The same age thing is compelling, in an unrelated way I think a butler type guy- early prime, got some experience in the OFFS, would be great to mix in to that group

I'm guilty of mostly going on eye test with Wiggins where every time I watched he seemed to have little to no noticeable effect on the game
its not a perfect trade but an opportunity like this does not come up often
― micah, Tuesday, 14 June 2016 23:11 (eight years ago) link
the wolves would be crazy to do that trade, come on

they do not need to get older when the warriors are still in god mode. let them develop

I would be a terrible general manager. I don't have one coherent idea about a butler for wiggins trade. I can assess the play of teams and players, if I can watch them playing together, but a trade requires imagining the effect of a player who isn't yet on your team, while also imagining the effect of losing the player you trade away. Plus all the intricate league rules and contractual details. I'm pretty sure I'd suck at it.

grizz apparently scared conley is on the run, and so begins free agency
― if young slothrop don't trust ya i'm gon' rhyme ya (slothroprhymes), Wednesday, 15 June 2016 15:39 (eight years ago) link
conley is a good player & i get why the grizz don't want to tear down and rebuild buuuuuuuuuuuuut i dunno if i'm signing up to give mike conley $125 million
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 15 June 2016 15:42 (eight years ago) link
wonder what team conley wld make sense on the league is so stacked at that position, maybe houston if diantoni get harden to play off the ball more
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 15 June 2016 15:47 (eight years ago) link
he needs to go east, they need help
― moistest hoist (Spottie), Wednesday, 15 June 2016 16:01 (eight years ago) link
can the knicks sign anybody? they could use conley.
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 15 June 2016 16:03 (eight years ago) link
tru
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 15 June 2016 16:04 (eight years ago) link
wld think hes looking to go to a better team tho
apparently he's thinking about them
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 15 June 2016 16:05 (eight years ago) link
it's entirely possible that the knicks would be the team w/ the brightest future who is interested in them. they'll prob be better than memphis in 3 years.
interested in him***
conley melo zinger fropez isnt bad
― moistest hoist (Spottie), Wednesday, 15 June 2016 16:12 (eight years ago) link
and afflolol
ya its true most leet teams or even second tier already have a better point
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 15 June 2016 16:13 (eight years ago) link
the "utah jazz" could use one
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 15 June 2016 16:32 (eight years ago) link
true good call he wld be a great fit there
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 15 June 2016 16:33 (eight years ago) link
all this assuming melo won't join banana boat
― marcos, Wednesday, 15 June 2016 16:34 (eight years ago) link
current jazz roster + conley would be a mid-seed playoff team easy. they gave so many minutes to terrible guards this year and still only missed the offs by a game.
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 15 June 2016 16:37 (eight years ago) link
he would be good in sacramento as a defense-oriented playmaker but kings being who they are theyll prob just sign rondo for the max
― if young slothrop don't trust ya i'm gon' rhyme ya (slothroprhymes), Wednesday, 15 June 2016 16:39 (eight years ago) link
utah def makes sense
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 15 June 2016 16:40 (eight years ago) link
spurs probably interested in conley too tbh i think we've discussed that one already
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 15 June 2016 16:41 (eight years ago) link
ya wld be great on the spurs too tho gotta think theyd rather have horford
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 15 June 2016 16:42 (eight years ago) link
knicks would totally be a playoff team with conley and have the advantage of playing in the east
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 15 June 2016 16:50 (eight years ago) link
playoffs is a p low bar tho
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 15 June 2016 16:55 (eight years ago) link
utah makes sense but i think they still want to see what they can get from Exum first
― moistest hoist (Spottie), Wednesday, 15 June 2016 16:59 (eight years ago) link
feel like exum is so young and raw four years of conley isnt gonna be a problem for his development
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 15 June 2016 17:02 (eight years ago) link
treu
― moistest hoist (Spottie), Wednesday, 15 June 2016 17:05 (eight years ago) link
the east is pretty deep now!
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 15 June 2016 19:06 (eight years ago) link
yeah i don't think utah can afford to spend another year finding out if exum is good enough, his injury was awkward for their timeline

― k3vin k., Wednesday, 15 June 2016 19:08 (eight years ago) link
not sure if having 10 not-quite-good-enough-for-the-offs teams counts as deep
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 15 June 2016 19:09 (eight years ago) link
theres a lot of talent but it hasn't coalesced into good teams yet
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 15 June 2016 19:11 (eight years ago) link
deep maybe in the sense like all the teams are pondering the futility of their existence.

Only if Duncan retires. PG is their weak link right now, plus it wouldn't surprise me if spurs nab pau for the MLE.

this offseason could get wild
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 15 June 2016 19:23 (eight years ago) link
all i'm saying is that in the 3 seasons previous to this one, the 8th seed into the east got in with 38 wins. this year, the pistons had 44 wins. that's not an insignificant jump. the knicks finished with 32 wins last year, so a few years ago seasons just adding conley would have made them a playoff team but i don't think that is true anymore.
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 15 June 2016 19:31 (eight years ago) link
i think this year it became pretty clear that the floor of the east got raised, maybe even above the west (the records bear that out at least, maybe it will revert back this season if teams like houston, utah and new orleans have better seasons)
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 15 June 2016 19:33 (eight years ago) link
floor for playoff contenders i mean. obv sixers, nets etc were as bad as ever

Team is renegotiating it's broadcast deal(s) so I'm sure that's the rub here

J.R. just opted out - anyone think he bolts if cleve loses or is it just a straight money move?
