2021 Free Agency

[campaignist]

Except Lauri can't carry Bojan's jockstrap.

Well no ****, I’m not saying that. At this point, outside of signing Lauri or Gay, the only way the team is going to improve is trading Bojan and/or Ingles. Might be nice to *also* have *some* of his shooting since we *wouldn’t have it anymore without Bojan here*, which is what I said.

So one dude 6 years ago?

I mean big time free agents rarely leave if the team actively wants them. They get traded. Losing someone like that as a free agent is a disaster.

I'd like to see a heathy Bojan and Ingles with his minutes dialed Wayyyy back.

Hayward was a disaster for the Jazz. At least at the time. Would have been nice to get something for him.

Big name free agents always sign with Miami, one of the LA teams, one of the NY teams, or the team they are already with. Boston maybe sneaks a couple here or there. Can anyone think of any recent examples of this not being the case? Even the Knicks have sucked at it lately, getting no elite takers for their cap space this year or in recent years past.

All I care about is holding on to the ones we do get through draft and trade, and we’ve held onto our three dudes.

Only 4 teams in the last decade won the championship by signing big name FAs. 2012 and 2013 Heat. 2017 and 2018 Warriors.

The 6 other teams won it through trade and draft success.

KD.
Our future draft situation is absolutely miserable. We are going to need to get lucky on a few free agents in the next 4-5 years.

Or make a trade or two to consciously get a little younger around Don, Rudy, and Mike.

Yep. Karma gifted us Donovan though.

What about the 2020 Lakers?

That Mickey Mouse ring, tho. . .

 

[FalseFlagg K]

Yep. Time to trade. No one else left worth spending it on.

Or some fliers on guys playing overseas.

I would take mugatu, aka Dillon Brooks in a second.

then KILL THE MALAYSIAN PRIME MINISTER !!!!!

AD was traded to the Lakers for a big package of Ingram/Ball/Hart/draft picks.

And it's fair to say that they were actually one of the biggest losers in 2019 FA because they failed to sign any of the big name free agents such as Kawhi or Bulter to be their third star alongside AD and Lebron.
