Around the League: 2018 Offseason
Re: Around the League: 2018 Offseason
Wait... ready for training camp next season?
Re: Around the League: 2018 Offseason
Man, the West is going to be a bloodbath next year. Every single team is going for the playoffs.
The East may have as many as 6 tankers (ATL, ORL, CHI, BKN, NYK, CLE).

The problem with Napier is that he is pretty much only a shot-maker. Very little actually ability to play point.Wally_West wrote: ↑Fri Jun 29, 2018 5:48 pmhttps://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1012853114926485504

I don't think the Suns have a chance of making the playoffs unless they make major trades / FA acquisitions this offseason. Probably not even then. No disrespect to our guys; it's just hard to increase your win total by 25+ games in one season, especially if the majority of your new talent is below the drinking age. Still very excited to see them look worlds better and win 35 games.

This dude stalked LeBron from the Caribbean to LA.

Agreed. A lot of it depends on how good Ayton really is.Marty [Mori Chu] wrote: ↑Sat Jun 30, 2018 12:01 amI don't think the Suns have a chance of making the playoffs unless they make major trades / FA acquisitions this offseason.

No surprise. Hopefully after Durant wins his third straight title he leaves next summer.

Leaves for Phoenix?

Re: Around the League: 2018 Offseason
Nah, I know he's not coming here, just want it to feel like someone can beat the warriors.
Re: Around the League: 2018 Offseason
I hope these yearly 1+1 contracts don't catch on too much.
Re: Around the League: 2018 Offseason
They will for the NBA uber elite. But second tier stars will take the long-term security.

Re: Around the League: 2018 Offseason
A god streak of injuries would discourage them to do it, eventually it will. This guys are flirting with disaster.
Re: Around the League: 2018 Offseason
I think disaster is a bit of an overstatement. The uber elite like Durant and LeBron are set for life and have so much income outside of the NBA salary that they can afford to bet on themselves.
