Official Off-Season Thread 2017

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Welcome, fellow supporters of shit teams, to the off-season thread. This year's edition is early because I'm sick of the Timberwolves trying to play basketball.

The off-season is a magical time where no trade rumour is too ridiculous (except Rubio for Rose), no player is good enough to convince Ainge to give up a mediocre asset, and teams like the Lakers and Knicks actually have something to look forward to.

To begin proceedings, I'm taking offers on Adreian Payne. We'll start the bidding at half a peanut shell, but I could be persuaded by a quarter.

I would like to put Shumpert up for trade. Looking for serviceable role player in return, thanks.

Stewie offers Cam Payne for Adreian.

If you're going to have a Payne who's shit at basketball, you may as well have one with a name that's hilarious as opposed to horribly misspelled.

If bulls tank to miss play offs
Trade Butler for top 5 pick
Wade walks
Keep Rondo
Re-sign Niko
Re-sign Felicio as a back up
Look for options for Lopez (first rounder)

Target young centers in the free agency period and invest in high tempo offense

Lol your joking if you think Butler will Be traded solely for a top 5 pick. Will take a top 5 pick and a player of crowder or Bradley's calibre. Butler won't get traded unless it's a trade that the bulls win...

of course it would require that, its easier to say that instead of having to create espn trade machine stuff

 

[jakefooty23]

I don't know if this is the right place, but here's my top 10 mock draft.
1. Boston- Markelle Fultz
2. Phoenix- Josh Jackson
3. LA Lakers- Lonzo Ball
4. Orlando- Jayson Tatum
5. Philadelphia- DeAaron Fox
6. New York Knicks- Dennis Smith
7. Sacramento- Johnathan Isaac
8. Minnesota- Malik Monk
9. Dallas- Frank Ntilikina
10. Sacramento- Lauri Markennen
This is just my opinion so please no hate lol

Yeah, all I'm saying is that I think Butler would cost a lot more

Reckon we'd go Ntilikina over Monk, seems to have a bit more to his game. We don't really need another scorer that can't really create for others or defend off the ball.

Yeah fair enough, I just went with monk because you have Rubio (who has been excellent lately),Dunn and tyus jones already. Who knows, you might even take Markkenen.
