Encouraging thing is (disclaimer)

Mcrob will be healthy

Winslow will be healthy

Bam makes our frontcourt more athletic and he replaces reed

Dion will be healthy and looking to build off the 46 games after developing chemistry with dragic

So while it's essentially the same team, it should be better and even more cohesive

Plus Gay is still in reach which is a 20 point scorer and then you can sport a lineup of

Dragic, Dion, winslow (ugh), Gay, and Whiteside

With TJ, Rich, mcgruder, JJ and bam off the bench (ellington and babbitt in spot mins)

All defensive, high motor guys that can play 2 positions and hit threes for the most part.

Rich got bigger too and bulked up so I'm excited to see him.

Losing out on Gordon did not hurt at all and I'm actually looking forward to next season. This is a 4th seed ceiling team and im cool with that

I do think we eventually need a backup PG though. Should call cole's bum ass up before he goes to play in siberia

Probably 3 yr/48 mil

And we can go over the cap to sign babbitt

 

[Beta]

OR a 1 year deal for like 18 mil

 

[infamous114]

I hope we didn't give JJ a long term deal. He's 31

 

[Beta]

30 but if his deal is done when he's 33-34 that's perfect.

Plus he is a young 30 imo since he doesn't have alot of miles

 

[south4life]

Let Babbitt go, im glad we finally got rid of McRoberts.

 

[infamous114]

I'd take Babbitt on a veteran minimum

 

[Beta]

I'd take Babbitt on a veteran minimum

He's most likely coming back

At the risk of a bilfiger lol reaction this team is actually quite dangerous

Physical, tough, defensive oriented team that has so many potential combinations

Each player besides whiteside can play two positions and can guard 2 positions

You can see a TJ, Rich, Ellington, winslow, bam lineup

You can see a dragic, waiters, winslow, JJ, olynck(sighs) lineup etc, etc

This was a top 5 defensive team with Winslow missing the majority of the season and then you add this cocksucker who is physical when we wants to be along with the rest of the guys and you have a team that teams are gonna be sore after playing. It's a team that's two deep at every position and sometimes 3 depending on matchups

Once again I'm excited to see them next season and it's a great blend of veterans and youth

This is a top 4 seed in the East

 

[infamous114]

Feel our contracts are team-friendly this offseason

 

[Beta]

They are but I'm trying to figure out what happened to the JJ discount..but maybe pat gave him a few for being unsigned and trying to recruit hayward and waiting until the entire saga was over and even after KO was signed to get his deal

 

[infamous114]

Think that discount was only if Hayward signed

You insecure but I actually agree.Everybody expectss the bucks to come up but they're never higher than a 6 seed

Raptors will slide a spot or 2,Hawks out.

Most of the big moves are done Preliminary east playoff picks

Cavs

C's

Wizards

Heat

Raptors

Bucks

Hornets

Pistons/Sixers/Knicks

Nah it's not insecurity lol everytime we talk about the team and express enthusiasm you be clickin lol and I be like fuck this guy lol

I tried to get ahead of the curve that time though

But yeah it's not anything crazy but we're actually a dangerous team. It's not a sexy choice to be a dangerous team because most will laugh if you tell them that but this team depending on matchups could possibly go to the ECF and I still think this team personnel wise has the best chance against Cleveland. Not saying we would win but definitely punching them in the face in a series

I do the same wit rockets talk.They aint winnin jack no matter who they add but daryl morey will get called a "genius" despite his shortsighted trades and star chasing terrible fits that never won anything.

I agree heat can make some noise.The C's regressing they have yet to address any weaknesses and will lose depth.Wizards may be better off wit more experience and a better bench everybody else :/

I do that when south4lil or w/e types a paragraph about how lineups are gonna work and etc I dont even know WHY it's funny to me

I think if Boston doesn't get a rebounding big, hayward's deal is gonna make them worse. Combine that with two many forwards vying for PT and there's not THAT much improvement.

Wizards ain't doing shit and will regress.

Raps are pretenders nobody cares

Heat at the pinnacle are 3rd seed with the floor being 5

Either way with the same group for the most part building more chemistry, and young players improving in Rich, TJ, Winslow (eh), waiters, mcgruder, we are tough.

Defense will be suffocating I wish we coulda signed shabazz but ah well
