NBA Offseason thread

[Cyinthenorth]

Watch Cunningham play quite a bit last year and I'm not totally sold on him. A bit of a tweener who wants to play guard but lacks the quickness that's required to play that position in the NBA. Certainly a good prospect with his size and skillset though.

I'm with you on this. He looks to be the next Ben Simmons IMO. Sucks for the Pistons to have #1 pick in a year where there isn't that can't miss prospect just sitting there for the taking.

Interested to see what Milwaukee does tonight. Have a decent pick at 32. Maybe draft a center or trade pick? Hope they can add some more bodies in FA. Would love to see Norman Powell coming off the bench next year.

Not bad for the Wizards if they can score the #22 pick in the deal. They probably save some money too assuming LA takes a bulk of what is still owed to Russ. I have never liked Kuzma that much. KC-P seemed like a good fit in LA though, I thought he had become one of LeBron's guys.

IMO, the Lakers don't need a high volume high possession player.

He has a better jumper than Simmons but he's smaller and not near the same defender. I just think he's gotten by being bigger and stronger than others at his position which he wont be able to do in the NBA. He's going to have to get quicker.

This means Cleveland is going to select Evan Mobley with their 3rd pick.

That's alot to give up. My Lakers friend isn't happy about losing Pope. He was one of the better role players for LA.

I'm under the belief you can't win a title with Russ. Maybe not being the primary or secondary option things will be different.

I still like BKN's offense more but LAL wouldn't be bad defensively.

You just can't let him touch the ball when it matters, easily the lowest bball IQ superstar I've watched. He just doesn't have what it takes upstairs to be a winner.

I want to see what GSW do and if Simmons is moved from Philly

Philly is out of their minds on their expectations for trading him. If I was GS I would offer Wiggins and one pick nothing else.

Cunningham is a waaaay better shooter than Simmons. He's not an elite defender but he has plenty of time to improve on defense.

I want to watch the draft but I can't bring myself to tune in. ESPN can go to hell.

The Kings like Big12 players.

Between Haliburton, Fox, & Mitchell be interesting to see how they do the line-up/minutes played,

Is Jalen Rose wearing a snakeskin suit?
