Everything 2017 Off-Season

[Mack North]

Maybe its supposed to a be a picture of Masai doing nothing but staring at his computer all day instead of actually making a damn move during this firesale of an off season.

lol come on man... you don't think Masai is working his magic? I'm sure his priority at this point is to re-sign his FA's.. anything after that can wait.

[Jangles]

Even for a 1 year rental, that is the best they could get for PG? What a joke. Why can't the Raptors have nice things?

Working his magic just in time for all the big name players to have already been moved lol sounds great

Anything short of trading Corey + JV for Millsap in addition to re-signing those guys will have been a complete waste of time. To just re-sign them is fairly meaningless.

We've been shit for pretty much 20yrs. No one wanted to come/stay here. It's not meaningless.

It is so rare that this many stars move in such a short stretch.

Cousins, Paul, Butler, George.

Everyone likes to brag about how Masai wins every deal... But you have to give value to get value, and a lot of opportunities are just sailing away.

Re-signing the same squad under Casey is pretty meaningless, as Naismith said.

I hate defending Ainge but why would you use a top pick on a one year rental. That pick could end up being mega star by the time Bron starts his decline. Ainge is playing it safe but smart and setting Boston up for what could be long term success

[lewro]

Man, everyone was worried masai would leave and the next day they want to kick him out?

[S.R.]

grange reporting the Raps' 12:01 meeting will be with Tucker, mtgs with Lowry + Ibaka at a more reasonable time on Saturday.

I think this says MU is 100% confident Lowry + Ibaka are back. I hope going heavy into the tax for Tucker means that he's given MLSE his word that he will salary dump Carroll asap this season.

[S.R.]

Yeah Paul George is a rental, OKC effectively turned Ibaka into a wasted Westbrook MVP season and a 1 year Paul George rental. Very good chance they lose both Russ and PG13 to LA in free agency.

I hear you but in the meantime he's got big money on the horizon with some of those guys and all his previous picks are getting waived or not worth much.

Having two stars of that caliber positions them to add more though. Just like adding Paul to Harden. Fairly certain Presti and Morey are not finished.

Besides, the right to pay Ibaka a risky contract isn't as valuable as a yearlong rental of Paul George.

[LJ2]

I get this feeling JV is going to get traded

[S.R.]

Sacramento will be meeting with Tucker.

[LJ2]

I hear you but in the meantime he's got big money on the horizon with some of those guys and all his previous picks are getting waived or not worth much.

If he's committing to those picks then he's committing to a future core. The current is seemingly an irrelevant bonus.
