2021 NBA Offseason Thread

Surprise surprise. Devin Booker wants out of PHX and it's the worst kept secret in the league.

Has anybody reported this besides Ryen Russillo? He’s not exactly a news breaker...

Celtics announcer Tommy Heinsohn passed away today.

Feel like Russ would rather be the best player on a bad team and rack up stats than anything else.

It’s interesting I have seen the cavs have some interest in Terry Armstrong. He played for my team in nbl last season and was super disappointing. I thought given he has natural athletic advantage over most in the league he’d at least be able to do something half decent. He barely played tho so small sample size.

I watched Joe Ingles 14 years ago and he was by far the better player at the same age and didn’t get drafted or play in the NBA for almost 8 years

CP3 traded to the Suns

 

[CavsFan07]

Really wish the Suns had something else to offer for Love... Love would fit RIGHT IN with a CP3/Booker/Ayton combination.

However, other than the #10 pick this year, they have nothing else worth going after.

 

[Sir'Dom Pointer]

I feel like this is an overpay??

It's a future first with protections:

2022 1-12 protected
2023 1-10
2024 1-8
2025 Unprotected.

So it should be late lottery or outside lottery if they truly take the next step vs giving up the #10 this year.

Yeah they got 2 good players and a first round pick for a 35 year old who is injury prone.

It will be interesting to see what they do with Danny Green and Ricky Rubio. I figure they got rid of Schroder and CP3 to clear the way for SGA to run the point. I could see them moving on from Rubio sooner than later just so SGA can run the point by himself.

I disagree. Shai is a shooting guard. He doesn't have that vision, and I don't know why he is touted as a pg when he has .2 more assists than Sexton. Sexton has had more potential assists each year too.

I like Shai, and am not down on him, but I don't think he is a very good facilitator. True he has not been handed the keys, but If were them I would keep Rubio or try to find another pg using his contract. No coincidence they are possibly trying to trade up for Lamelo or another one of the pgs.

I think Shai is a bit overrated and gets a pass as a tweener that other guys don't

Yeah, I mean why does he get the 6'5" pg label instead of combo guard? Numbers just aren't in his favor.

Chris Paul is still extremely good. How he dictates the game at his stature, I couldn’t tell you. Injuries are a big concern. But even in his advanced age he’s a big addition. Great going for it move.

Phoenix is loserdom. However their bubble performance showed they’re flirting with relevance. Paul, while not a champion, is known to establish The Rub in locker rooms. He gets on people’s nerves and is good at motivating people, by hook or crook.
