2017-2018 NBA Season

[ssaloon]

Phil jackson and the knicks have agreed to severe ties amicably.

I wonder how this will affect the ageing melo's future in new york

when you look into the abyss, the abyss looks into you

I think they'll still try to move him, but will approach it differently from the way Zen Master did. They still also have to get rid of that albatross of an awful contract Noah signed.

NBA Trade Rumors: Paul George Won't Leave Cavs If LeBron James Stays - Lakers Nation

If Pacers don't want Love, maybe Shumpert & Smith/Frye for PG13? They could also move Jefferson and those 1.Xm contracts.

[ssaloon]

BG32 stays put with the Clips.

Jeff Teague to sign with Twolves after Rubio gets traded to Utah.

[ssaloon]

Paul George traded to OKC for Oladipo and Sabonis.

[H1Tman]

PG13 traded to OKC for Oladipo and Sabonis. Somehow I don't like that deal.

Parang fire sale, pero Indiana couldn't gamble with getting nothing in return if PG leaves as an FA at the end of the upcoming season.

OKC gets a 1 year loan on PG, too, since he is really hell bent on signing with LAL.

[chronicle]

So okc got pg13 for ibaka. Lols.
Nice move presti.
But im still mad that you let go harden. Russ, kd, harden could have been great.

------
Wolves also got teague. Bench na lang ang kulang ng wolves.

-------
Celts striked out again. Ainge is always playing for the future. Too scared to committ to win now.

------
All in all, # of west vs east are unbalanced.

[kagalingan]

im shocked....

Kung ano yung walang tsismis ito nagkakatotoo..

maybe pritchard is really high on domantas.... Basically he is the draft pick the pacers wants pero last year pa

[StockEngine]

craziest trade season.. loyalties be damned lol.

May I chime in?

Lakers fan here (manalo o matalo). Since Kobe retired, my favorite player now is Jordan Clarkson because he's half-Pinoy!

PG13 traded to OKC for Oladipo and Sabonis. Somehow I don't like that deal.

I like that deal, especially if Paul George remains with OKC. I wish the Lakers get back to playoff contention organically -- so here's hoping Ingram blooms into a star in his second year.

Pati palasi rubio napunta na sa jazz

I wonder saan kaya mapupunta sj hayward. Ang galing mag tennis niyan kaso hindi uubra sa pro circuit

when you look into the abyss, the abyss looks into you

[Ry_Tower]

Wolves can make the play-offs, LAC alanganin imho.

If hayward stays, which he might do, ok din Jazz. Ok na yang si PG13 sa OKC. Sana Iggy makuha ng SAS at maresign si Pau, Dedmon at Simmons.

[Altuy]

Ok na yang si PG13 sa OKC.

I agree!

I am one of -- well, I don't know -- the few who hopes the Lakers stick with organic rebuild and do away with signing star free agents who will just eat up the minutes of that "standout talent" and of that "new face of the Los Angeles Lakers" (Brandon Ingram and Lonzo Ball, respectively, according to Magic Johnson).

On the other hand, if Paul George will sign up for the Lakers' off-guard position, that's hooray for me!

If the Lakers, particularly Ingram and Ball, do considerably good in the upcoming season...

1. I'd rather that the Lakers sign just one max player (Paul George -- if he's really hell-bent on signing with the Lakers); and

2. They should save the rest of their cap space future flexibility.

PG and Brodie to LAL in 2018?

Russell Westbrook Reportedly May Delay Signing Contract After Paul George Trade | Bleacher Report

I keep wondering who they will accept in return for those 2 superstars. Trend seems to be proven veterans for talented rookies with potentially high ceilings.

It's good that they got rid of Mozgov, but moving the remaining top salaries of Deng, Brewer and Black for good value is going to be a challenge.

Most likely Ingram, Randle and Clarkson will be the only ones OKC will want for their own superstars.

I agree Deng's contract is still a concern, let alone his role on the court. On the other hand, he's a good locker room guy according to what I've read.

I don't want the Lakers to go back to this kind of cap life again: Golden State now has $13M in guaranteed contracts...

I just wish Ingram becomes a star, Ball becomes a steady Robin, and then they get a star FA next off-season to complement those 2 players. Besides, they've got a nice supporting cast in Clarkson, Randle, Nance, and Zubac. Their draftees also seem promising...

This is just me...

Re: GSW salary: wow. Still, much better value than the the Cavs' $129M I think. Lakers are nowhere near that hehe. But with enough success it seems a bloated payroll is an eventuality.

Lakers' future looks really bright. Reminds me of where GSW was a few years ago.

Always good to see another Laker fan. 🖒

I have to respond to this first: Yay! Me too! Win or lose

But I'll have to admit I was a Kobe fan before I became a Lakers fan (giggle)...

Lakers are nowhere near that hehe.

Yup! And with the Black opt out, I believe they now have around 18M in cap space. Yipee! I'd rather they save that, though...

But with enough success it seems a bloated payroll is an eventuality.

In this generation of super teams, this sounds just so right...

Yes, yes, yes! I just hope the new front office has learned the lesson from the sins of the past: how to maintain financial flexibility in the face of competing for titles

are you a big baller now? 😁
