2025 NBA Offseason Thread

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

It's definitely got that "this guy might have a manifesto" type of energy

[RC_Drunkford]

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.

Wolves starting PG Mike Conley would be 39. That's still an upgrade.

[Trueblood]

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

Does he? I thought I read once that no trade clauses could only be included on contracts that were 4 years or more. LeBron keeps doing the one and one deals so I’m curious if he is even allowed to have one.

Just looked it up. I was wrong, he does have one. Good call.

Dev + Barnes + a first for LeBron works.

they not getting a first

It’s really weird to me that Sweeney and now Shamgod (Goat name btw) are leaving Dallas post-Flagg. I get the desire to get more responsibility, but wouldn’t hanging around a “generational” talent like Flagg be a nice resume padder? Seems to me the logical move would be to stick around for a year or two and then parlay that experience into a better job.

This is based on nothing but I keep getting the sense that this is an indictment of either Nico, ownership, or both. But maybe that’s just copium I dunno.

He’ll be cheap for someone, though. He gets 100% of his contract from MIL, so he can sign minimum anywhere. There’s some thought that he may want to be back on the West coast to be closer to his family.

Baba, when your boss sends a clear signal he's willing to make stupid decisions to screw your co-workers out of $100+ million... it's a good sign you should find a new place to work

I think that’s exactly it. Why would you continue working for such idiots? I also don’t see Flagg as generational. He’s just a clear cut #1 in this draft, but he’s like a white Tatum. He is of a type of player, not a unique like a LeBron or a Wemby.

JJ Red coaching Ayton is going to be must see TV each and every night :popcorn

[mystargtr34]

Looking forward to Ayton turning up late to JJ’s team meetings and not paying attention after an all night gaming session.

Ownership. Adelsons might be as bad as Dolan.

Lol Lakers

The sweetest thing that season was watching them flop all year and then sweeping them in the 1st round

[The Truth #6]

It's definitely got that "this guy might have a manifesto" type of energy

Really? I'm getting more of a "sucking on a chili dog outside the Tastee-Freeze" kind of vibe.

[Ice009]

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.

. Maybe it's an age thing? I'm not going to say anything bad about it because I am pretty sure I had the exact same facial hair at his age . I would not rock anything like that now, though.

[Dex]

Lol Lakers

I have a ton of respect for Nash...but man, that had to be the biggest FU as he ended his playing career to be swept in the first round by the Spurs of all teams

There have been on going talks of what would be a historic 7-team trade involving the Rockets acquiring Kevin Durant, via FredKatz
and KellyIko
.

Phoenix Suns
Houston Rockets
Atlanta Hawks
Brooklyn Nets
Golden State Warriors
Los Angeles Lakers
Minnesota Timberwolves


Fred Katz FredKatz
The Rockets and Suns are working on expanding the Kevin Durant trade into a deal that would involve a league-record seven teams.

No trade is imminent, but here’s what we know about negotiations so far: https://nytimes.com/athletic/live-bl.../fnwUj FEqi/

[scott]

Brian Wright gotta be smarting at not being able to get in on that

[scott]

But a lot of these trades will find a way to get expanded when the final deals get announced next week... that's why I think people should hold their horses on considering the off-season done for us. Brian may just extract a useful asset out of one of these deals for essentially free

[BatManu20]

Who's gonna tell him

[Kindergarten Cop]

Who's gonna tell him

Is it out of the realm of possibility that he could start for either Phoenix or even Milwaukee?

[PhantomDashCam]

I believe it was Rudy T that said: "The Hardest thing in the NBA is to coach an aging Superstar".
Chris P - wants to be near family in LA, wants a starting role...Sacramento, sign this man ASAP. You know you want to.

[Ice009]

Wow, what is Chris Paul thinking. Darn, he definitely held the team to it last season then. Sounds like it's definite that Mitch couldn't have even benched him even if he wanted to.
