2025 NBA Offseason Thread

Gafford, Klay, PJ Washington + another filler contract gets it done. Dallas would be sacrificing their 2 best shooters (outside of Kyrie) for a 1-2 year rental of old Lebron. Might be worth it for them though tbh.

Yea...Dallas can get it done if they want too..

[BatManu20]

Should've been a Spur tbh . Now I gotta hate this dude.

Doncic must be cursing Nico Harrison night & day. Cost him 120 millions and the precious years of his peak/prime where he would be winning Championships and MVPs..

If he agrees to an extension this summer, then he doesn't have winning as his biggest priority.
He's got all the leverage and should leave if they they can't build a compe ive team around him.

Heat will be able to offer him a max with just Bam, Herro and Ware on the payroll. They also own all of their picks but one.
I expect Dragic to make some phone calls, it's a no brainer decision considering how stacked the West will be.

Presti has a habit of declining or re-negotiating the last year of a cheap contract for a valuable role player and then giving him a longer term deal that is still an underpay but more in line with that player's talents. It's a good tactic that makes the player feel valued while locking him up on a value contract for a longer period of time

He did it for Dort and recently Jaylen Williams, hoping that Wright does this with Champagnie

Did we do something similar with Tre Johnson a couple of years ago with the 2yrs/$20M deal? ...or maybe his was after an expired deal? I can't remember anymore.

Mavs if they traded for Lebron wold look something like:

Kyrie / Exum
Christie / Grimes
Flagg / Naji Marshall
Lebron / Caleb Martin
AD / Lively

Would be a weird team tbh. But it might be worth it for them to go all in on Lebron for 1-2 years.

Lakers reportedly strongly pursuing Al Horford now in Free Agency.

[LeBowen]

Vogel moving to an assistant role with the Mavs, probably taking Sweeney's job.

I think he'll rather go to the Warriors. He can start there.

Get some young, fresh legs on that team.

[RC_Drunkford]

if that's all it takes, the Spurs should offer him the same

[exstatic]

Mavs and Cavs are the heavy betting favorites to land Labron if* he were to be traded.

Cavs can’t. They are hard capped at the second apron, and cannot aggregate salaries to match his.

[Seventyniner]

if that's all it takes, the Spurs should offer him the same

I would love his veteran leadership and ability to space the floor as a big, but he's really a full-time C now and wouldn't get all that many minutes here.

[LeBowen]

if that's all it takes, the Spurs should offer him the same

It would be really spineless for him to go to subpar Lakers team as a Celtics fan favorite.
It's not like they're offering money or legit contention and he got his ring already.

[BackHome]

Curious the Kings are having issues moving people, Monk an Roz but have issues with trades. I would not mind helping to facilitate if we could get Devin Carter​, as he can easily replace Blake and is a better defender and rebounder and shooter.

[tbdog]

Why Devin Carter? We already have two developing guards on this roster that's going to be much higher on the pecking board.

[Gandalf]

It’s much more likely we’ll end up pitying him. Dallas has no assets to build around him for the foreseeable future.

Posted this in the other thread, Horford as the starting 4 and 25MPG would be solid.

Bostons third and fourth most used lineups last year was with Kornet-Horford and Porzingis-Horford and both had +10 net ratings.

https://www.nba.com/stats/lineups/ad...mID=1610612738

[mystargtr34]

The Kornet-Horford lineup with Sam Hauser and Pritchard in it played 117 minutes and allowed just 101 points per 100 possessions.

[quentin_compson]

You guys realize that no one can really "trade for" LeBron the normal way since he has a no trade clause, right?

[RC_Drunkford]

if Lillard goes to Minnesota...

[ambchang]

Not sure if Lillard to the mavs work but that would be a pretty decent fit.

[poopbox]

if Lillard goes to Minnesota...

To do what...rehab?

Ace Bailey rightfully took a lot of flack for following bad advice, but whomever is advising Cooper Flagg on his facial hair also deserves plenty of criticism.

[mystargtr34]

Dames going to be 36 by the time 26-27 season starts coming off an Achilles. He might be done as even a net positive player.

Yea that facial hair is a felony in a few states. He’s starting to look like that Las Vegas mass shooter.
