NYRaider Posted August 2, 2021 Author Share Posted August 2, 2021 Very minimal Derrick Rose buzz heading into free agency but I think he'd be a great, low key signing for teams like the Mavericks or Celtics. @Troy Brown @the lone star Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted August 2, 2021 Author Share Posted August 2, 2021 Zach Collins has fallen so far after being a lottery pick just a few years ago. Some solid vets that could sign for the minimum though. Guys on my Jazz wishlist include Justise Winslow, Mo Harkless, Jabari Parker, James Ennis, Torrey Craig, Gorgui Dieng, Dewayne Dedmon, Ish Smith, Dennis Smith Jr, and Jeff Teague.

NYRaider Posted August 2, 2021 Author Share Posted August 2, 2021 With reports that Philly is actively shopping Tobias Harris and even offered him to Houston for Wall. I'd 100% be on the phone offering Ingles/Bogdanovic/Oni for Harris/Thybulle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the veteran PG's likely already know where they're signing. The Bulls could offer Lonzo a nice offer-sheet but I think New Orleans likely matches it.

They should, but I hope they don't cause I don't want David Griffin or certain Pelicans bloggers to be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ has had his playoff struggles and that will likely be the big swing factor for the Lakers in the post-season. But his ability to carry a massive load in the regular season will take so much pressure off of LeBron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody isn’t gonna be getting touches. Ideally you would want Bron and AD with the ball the most. Im not sure a reserved Russ who is going for full go and volume isn’t necessarily a good thing. We saw in Houston how terrible that was especially with Capela and we saw in OKC with PG and Melo. I swear the only part of me that thinks this can somehow be a championship good is because of Lebron lol. Conventional wisdom should say this is gonna be a disaster. But an aging Lebron is basically what im Hanging my hat on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t follow Pelicans bloggers do you? They all obnoxiously dislike Lonzo because of his Lakers stans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But an aging Lebron is basically what im Hanging my hat on. This is my take as well. Well mix in a little of NY's take too. I think an aging Lebron still can win a championship, but to do that he needs to be healthy in the playoffs. Same with AD. Westbrook can help them get there by allowing them to take games off during the year. And also just letting Lebron have some breaks on the court while Russ creates and it isn't al on Bron. Someone on the radio said that the big three together isn't good, but 2 of them together is, especially given the injury history of AD and lately with Lebron. The biggest thing is they need to find the right cheap pieces that excel at their one thing. Like I think Bryn Forbes would be a great fit as a sniper off the bench as a poor mans Duncan Robinson. Getting Melo to sign for cheap there to ring chase with his buddy Lebron would help a lot with shooting. Someone like Reggie Bullock who can shoot and defend would help. I don't think they can win with just the big three and THT so they need to be smart with who they surround them with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
