nba off season 2024 bud 2 suns etc

bummer but at least they got one. doesn't feel like there's a bounce back available there next year, they had a lot of luck fall their way in the first half of this season that won't necessarily happen again

be interesting to see what happens if they have another similar season next year giannis has threatened to leave if the bucks arent contenders, his deal runs through 26-27

yeah i dont know what they can do, there was probably another route to building a new team around giannis before the end of his deal but the lillard trade sealed it off

yeah they have no cards left to play all their draft picks are spoken for dont have any guys to trade

dame owed $170 mil through 2027 oopsie daisy

its possible the Bucks are still competitive next year, Giannis is still playing great, Dame hopefully hasn't fallen off a cliff, Khris could maybe get lucky and stop being hurt all the time, you'll have a full offseason under Doc and who knows maybe they can make some good moves (idk what exactly though), but yeah if it turns out like this maybe they should just trade everyone and start over. I love Giannis but he shouldn't have to stick around in a situation like this.

khris performance in the playoffs could inspire some hope. he played well. only got two years left as well so might be tradeable

Relying on Middleton to stay healthy seems dubious to me.

no but it seems like he still has it when he is healthy

imo the bucks could def just have a better year but thats basically their only option they just dont have much ability to improve their roster and its never a safe bet when youve got guys on the wrong side of 30

Relying on Middleton to stay healthy seems dubious to me.

underlying question is how long does giannis have left in his joints. he plays a crazy high impact style and is so reliant on speed that he will be a completely different player if he loses even half a step. i wouldnt want to be the one left holding the bag on his contract

rip clips

damn jimmy wouldve swung two first round series

Jimmy Butler: “If I was playing, Boston would be at home. New York damn sure would be at home.”

“Josh Hart, Josh Hart man.”

Jimmy Butler: “What does that mean to me? Josh Hart, what?”

jimmy thinking about going back to philly makes some sense this heat team mightve run its course tho idk if $100m of 35 year old jimmy is what phillys looking for maybe if they strike out on other guys

I love Jimmy but I don't think 35yo Jimmy is going to get it done.

yeah hes having a lot of trouble just staying healthy

He would fit right in.

ha yeah

Something to look forward to for the Dubs fans:

They have a June 28 deadline to decide on CP3’s guarantee. The only way they’d guarantee it, IMO, is if they have a trade in place. So watch out for that. If CP3 is willing, the Warriors could move the deadline back to give all sides more time to figure things out. I see very little chance, though, that the Warriors would guarantee the $30 million and then keep CP. I think the only way the Warriors keep CP3 is if he agrees to come back for less money, which seems extremely unlikely and also would mean the Warriors non-guaranteeing the $30 million.

yeah

Should have been 40. Attacking a fan in a violent way (twice!) is worse than anything Draymond has done in his career imho. You just don't do that shit. For reals.

vogel fired

as always, you can't fire the players

you cant fire the players but the players can talk to shams about you so that he has a hit piece ready to go the moment your season ends

they should be able to fire beal

bring back the amnesty clause

one per year

thats an interesting idea, players would like it at least

I just read an article on possible free agents for Philly and let's just say the pickings are slim.

Mike Budenholzer has agreed to terms on a five-year, $50-plus million deal to become the new head coach of the Phoenix Suns, league sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Suns land the two-time NBA Coach of the Year and Arizona native. pic.twitter.com/FknlqMY6nD
