The 2016 Offseason thread

[Abbas]

norman powell and delon wright are both going around the locker room getting each of their teammates to sign a ball

why ?

[Bonus Jonas]

I think the best case scenario for him is Ibaka of 2-3 years ago. Shot blocker with a solid mid range game. I think that's his ceiling.

Worst case scenario. A complete scrub.

High risk high reward type of player.

You can't see a guy draining 3's and say his ceiling is a midrange guy...

why ?

They want to remember their rookie years and a memorable season. Last time all these guys will be teammates.

It's cool to hear that kind of stuff.

why ?

It'll be an interesting off season. I don't really know what's going to happen with DD. We really can't pay him too much, he isn't worth the max. But the team can't let him walk either.

Need help at PF and a new backup C if Biz doesn't come back (which is more likely than not). Having 2 Pat as our starting/main PF won't cut it

[A.I]

yeah.

realistically we're in for another year of the same style of ISO jumpshits. We just saw it take us as far as it possibly can. The smart play would be to shake it up, but i doubt it.

Messina, Messina, Messina, Messina, Messina, Messina, Messina, Messina, Messina, Messina, Messina, Messina, Messina, Messina, Messina, Messina, Messina, Messina.

Worst case scenario. A complete scrub.

With his range and height, he at least can be a Channing Frye type. Of course it isn't enough if it just Frye.

Where I'm starting to come around to...

If we're staying with the Lowry/Casey/DeMar core, we need to move Ross at the very least, maybe Carroll and Patterson.

Those catch and shoot guys are never going to thrive on this team, in this system.

[MACK11]

Need a legit PF. That has to be addressed

Draining 3's in where? in workouts? come on now.

[sanyo]

I dont mind keeping Demar but we need a stronger 3 to protect him. Carroll looks weak TBH at the 3.

[Hotshot]

Draining 3's in where? in workouts? come on now.

He at least got the range, he's a raw college player, so he can work on it and he's got a good foundation to base this on. None of those kids are a finished product.

Messina, Messina, Messina, Messina, Messina, Messina, Messina, Messina, Messina, Messina, Messina, Messina, Messina, Messina, Messina, Messina, Messina, Messina.

If only :'(

No. Three pointer is a future of NBA. Get rid of Casey, Demar maybe even Lowry. Take a step back, get a solid pick and see where we are 2 years from now.
