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

Chad Ford

Amazed at how different NBA teams are evaluating draft lottery prospects Kris Dunn, Jamal Murray, Dragan Bender, Marquese Chriss, Jaylen Brown & Buddy Hield. Every player is as high as No. 3 on at least one board. As low as No. 8 on at least one board. With that said, it appears Dunn is No. 3 on the most boards right now.

i only saw kris dunn in the tournament and he.... did not strike me as a #3 overall draft pick

hes old too

please don't take kris dunn, danny

i could see him being good if he got on a team where he didn't have the entire defense focused on him on every possesion

btw we have a draft thread :-)

im torn whether to use this or the draft thread or this one might be better to have all offseason talk in one place?

im ready for the trades. dont disappoint me this time pls

srsly gonna need some nice trades

important to know which player has most juice capacity

this draft is so shitty that i made plans for thursday night

go to the draft instead imo

iggy azalea and nick young split up

CNN sidebar threw me off the scent initially because it said "NBA star, rapper break up"

dirk gonna join the dubs? looool

haha

Probasketballdraft @Probballdraft
A bit of #NBADraft chatter: Boston has discussed 3 and a contract for Khris Middleton. Danny Ainge wants to add a scorer. #Celtics

hmmm

think i prefer the noel rumor but middleton is good

sounds like they're having trouble finding anything for the 3, its basically only okafor available and maybe this now

ya doesnt seem too highly valued

what shd celtics do w #3 pick

i think i would do middleton for #3, he's only 24 and has some room to get better.

ya seems like a good deal, middleton rounding into a borderline allstar prob, theres got to be a better player than him available in the draft but theres no guarantee youll find them

im a fan of middleton, go for it danny

is that acct even a good source im not familiar with it

first ive seen has a lot of followers tho

idk it looks sketchy to me but WEEI used them as a source so its obviously completely real and official now

there u go

contracts starting 2016-17 season, player options in bold

woof

will they all take the MLE or what? i don't see this working

wade's next contract is going to be disgusting i think

if it happens def gonna be when theyre too old and sad :)

who overpays for wade besides the heat tho?

melo is 32 btw as of a few weeks ago. wade will be 35 a couple months into next season

rip banana boat

melo f'd it up signing w the knicks for so long

wld be incredible if gm lebron tore down the champion cavs to assemble the boat this offseason tho

who overpays for wade besides the heat tho?

the heat!

they won't lock him up for more than a couple tho idk

(years)

it def seemed like his 1 year/$20m contract was an acknowledgement that this year would prob be his last in miami but then he balled out and now they're gonna overpay him like crazy i fear

get one of those kobe contracts

i think if they get a few commitments from good players in free agency (like chandler parson types, not durant) then they could prob persuade wade to come back on a dirk/duncan style contract. but if they strike out in free agency i think he could end up with like... the wes matthews "well we gotta dump this money on someone" deal which would be bad

yeah. and espesh if bosh is done

im super interested to see what thy decide on Whiteside

if u sign wade to a 2 year deal and he plays well for the first half of the season u cld prob flip him to a contender at the deadline

who knows if the superteam BS is really true or not but if so, dang lebron just chill.
