Forums - Sports - NBA offseason is wild

Paul Millsap agreed to a 3yr/$90m contract. Kind of sad how a 60 win team broke up so quickly.

That's also another great player now in the west. This is crazy. The Warriors, Spurs, Rockets, Blazers, Wolves, Pelicans, Thunder, Grizzlies, and (maybe) Jazz are all very solid. This will be a bloodbath that will hopefully make up for last year's disappointing playoffs

Meanwhile Cavs re-sign Kyle Korver and sign Jose Calderon

I honestly expect LeBron to leave. 

 

The Cavs simply have no chance of beating the Warriors. They can beat up a terrible Eastern conference and puff their chests as much as they want. Matter of fact is that they hit their peak in '16. 

 



With Millsap going to the Nuggets, I'm willing to put them over the Thunder. Now if they get Hill they will pass up the Rockets, of course unless Melo is traded there.



Gordon Hayward to the Celtics!!! Finally a West player heads East!!!

...and it turns out that it might be fake. That's a twist if I've ever seen one before.

We haven't even begun free agency and the NBA feels like a carnival.

 

1. Blake Griffin agrees to 170m dollar contract

2. Rubio traded to the Jazz

3. Chris Paul heads to the ROCKETS?!

3. Paul George to OKC?!?!

4. Kevin Love potentially heading to Nuggets

5. Iguodala meeting up with Spurs

6. D'angelo Russell traded to the nets

7. Bulls trade Butler to the Wolves

8. Rondo waived off after one year

 

 

This is too much for me. What's next?

It really looks like LeBron has just about killed off the Eastern Conference... not sure there's ever been so many teams in rebuilding mode in one conference before lol

If the Celtics get Gordon Hayward they might be able to provide an exciting series against the Cavs before inevitably still getting beaten, but otherwise there's really no one left in the East to challenge them.

The west is going to be a lot of fun to watch next year though. The Warriors still have an almost sickening amount of talent and I don't expect them to really get challenged, but there's a few teams with a fighting chance now. After all, the Warriors have been bizarrely lucky with injuries thus far, and if one or two players is even just playing at 50% that could open the window for other teams.



The Cavs will finally have some serious competition in the East. Bulls, Hawks, and Pacers will fade out or we'll have multiple under 500 teams in the playoffs. We can have a similar 2007-2011 era where only three teams in the East (then Cavs, Magic, and Celtics) were worthy and the rest were poop.

Excited to see how OKC, Rockets, and Timberwolves measure up.

I could see the Bucks MAYBE being worthy along with the Celtics even though they are young, but even then the Cavs are just superior to both of them. The Cavs biggest problem is they're too top heavy and the role players they do have are getting up their in age, and the Celtics don't have a solid Power Forward, but they have 4 Small Forwards. The East is pathetic in my eyes, even the Raptors seem weak now.



I get Hayward is a big player, but goddamn. He needs to make a decision.
