The 2016 Offseason thread

[Maury]

I'm still confident we will be able to sign pretty good veterans on minimum contracts. You know, guys that want to win.

Like who?

We will be lucky to get Nicholson. Fuck ryno. Pissed with Masai atm. Didn't like his draft. Hating FA. Better get something for ross

[rocwell]

Offensively they will be fine.

Haha. for how long tho

[Machine]

Im getting pretty frustrated. If all we do is resign derozan im gonna be pretty upset. No one is gonna want to play with derozan. I really hope masai plans to trade him at some point. Cant handle more than another year of him unless he somehow becomes smarter.

You want Chuck Hayes back?! lol

Raptors are going to take a step back defensively this year.

If we've got Scola starting again then hell yeah

Scola is what we can afford.

Four-year, $72M on Bismack Biyombo's Magic agreement @APkrawczynski reported on. Masai Ujiri loved Biz, but didn't value him that way.

We better hope young guys are ready to step in.

I don't care if he's back. But he absolutely cannot be starting.

I'm talking about guys that could do something like David West did last year.

Don't forget who we are right now.

One NBA executive on Tom Brady joining the Celtics contingent in Hamptons today: "Why bring an UnderArmour guy to a Durant/Nike meeting?"

No other conf. finals team signed a big player by now neither.

John Leuer, no disrespect to John, is a career deep bench player. Deep bench..like around 13th on the depth chart and likely didn't dress for a bunch of games just signed for 10.5$M per year. Such is the seismic change in the salary cap.

We have around 5.7 to spend.

There was talk about how much money was going to be thrown around but until you actually see it happening and even then it's just in-fucking-credible.

Biz..who we like went from 3 to 17.
Leuer went from 1 to 10.

Just can't see a veteran contributor who is going to take 5.7 when players like Leuer are getting twice as much.

Piss on the fire..whistle in the dogs...FA hunt is over for the Raps for a starting or decent backup PF in this particular market.

It's either a trade or we stand pat.

[Chr1s1anL]

Seem like it's either going to be Milsap or Anderson.
