2024 NBA General Offseason News

[Superbone]

It's a good move for the Lakers. I hate it.

[Superbone]

This is better though. Good money for a kid that probably shouldn’t have been drafted. Nepotism at its finest.

[Flagrant Fowl]

I'm a fan.

[TOO]

I'd be interested, absolutely.

[BKinSJC]

I'm a fan.

The contract he's coming off of (non-guaranteed) was in the range of $7 and $8 million for the next couple of years, and he's coming off statistically his best season. Even if the Sixers don't want to pick that up, he'll probably have a chance to play somewhere for more than the minimum.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Oh no, I never meant to imply the minimum. More like, I'd be impressed if they found some scraps (Nas Little) and stuff to acquire him. I know it's not going to happen.

My post was mostly a way of saying a smart team with space will go after him.

[Split T]

Jazz signed him to that deal…maybe they go after him again.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Crazy how this whole deal is put together. I think it involves 5 teams and that Hield contract is weird.

[pickle]

That sounds like the Chris Paul deal with lower dollar amounts.

[ShelC]

So do we think the Ws may see a bit of a bounce taking away Klay and adding in Melton, SloMo and Buddy? Or is this like letting Amar'e walk and bringing in Warrick, Hedo and Childress?

[Flagrant Fowl]

It really depends on how adept those guys are at playing Kerr(y)-ball. Their system is notoriously difficult to pick up and be successful in for some players.

[Gladiator]

I think it makes them a bit better but they still go as far as Curry can take them

[Split T]

I think they got better. Klay wasn’t good..I wish they would’ve paid to keep him

[Flagrant Fowl]

CP3 to Melton - Upgrade
Saric to Anderson - Upgrade
Klay to Hield - Downgrade

Overall, I think it's pretty close to a wash between those two collective groups.

I think the Warriors most significant improvement will come from playing their young guys more and they still need to move Wiggins.

CP3 to Melton - Upgrade

That just seems so weird. Not sure if it's true or not but maybe.

I've been a fan since he was at DePaul. I'd love to find a way to pick him up.

CP3 to Melton - Upgrade

I'm projecting the 2024-25 season. I probably would've said the same last summer and been wrong because Melton hardly played after the new year.

[Split T]

Just wait till they get Lauri…

[Mori Chu]

I'm surprised that the Warriors got Hield to agree to that contract. That seems like a real steal for him if he performs well. Nice upgrade for a team that really needs a talent infusion. I still don't think they are contenders, but they may actually make the playoffs at this rate.

[ShelC]

Hield's play is so choppy he might've been lucky to get that. He could bomb away in GS and reestablish himself or just fade like he did in Philly.
