The 2016 Offseason thread

[DanH]

Can anyone please let me know what I missed with the Milsap drama? Was out all day.

Rumours abounded that Horford was going back to the Hawks and they were shopping Millsap to sell him before hitting FA next summer and to clear cap room for Horford. Obviously many here got excited. Then Horford went to BOS and all hope was lost.

I doubt Durant signs in San Antonio so I think the only thing that makes Durant a factor is path to the Finals. In which lets hope Durant signs in the west.

The other part is, if Durant signs with SAS, they won't have room for Gasol. If he doesn't, they could.

If he signs with Boston, I might take a year off from following the NBA. Say no to Superteams!!

And desperation sets in:

ESPN sources say that the Mavericks intend to sign Warriors restricted free agent Harrison Barnes to a four-year max offer sheet on July 7

I'm scared for us because our division suddenly got hella better. BOS and NYK are gonna be good this year.

I still doubt Durant signs with Boston. Why would he leave OKC to sign with a team with another PG who's more of a scorer than a playmaker (yet not as good as Russ) and Horford?

Who in their right mind chooses Thomas-Horford over Westbrook-Dipo-Adams, Kawhi-Aldridge and Curry-Klay-Iggy-Green?

Fixed that for you.

The Knicks are going to be a disaster as player after player misses time to injury and there is not enough ball to go around. IMO, of course.

I'm not trying to moderate your fandom. I'm here talking basketball. If I wanted to moderate something you'd know it because you'd have a private message right now. You're not doing anything wrong and you don't have a PM from me so there you go.

All that said, my last post was Apollo the fan. 99.9% of my posts are Apollo the fan. Apollo the fan thinks it's too early to freak out. Raptors have a tonne of assets and a lot of teams feel pressure I'd imagine.

Youre right. I apologize. I got carried away. You don't have to defend your service here. Cheers!

All those other options are in the West... That's the one factor that gives BOS a chance. Not an edge, but a chance.

Still doubt NYK are good.

Noah and Rose are huge injury risks, Melo isn't nearly what he once was and as far as I can remember they don't have a bench.

Kevin Durant has told clubs he is meeting with that his decision will be made within the next 24-36 hours, according to league sources.

I think they're good enough to make the playoffs. That's it. 1st round exit vs The North.

I think if Durant joins SAS or GSW, he's a big enough factor to propel them past the other team. And I'm not even sure Boston would even get by Cleveland with that team.
