NBA Off Season 2022

Marc Spears reported that the Warriors are interested in reacquiring KD. Oh boy.

League should like ban or veto this trade lol

They may be interested, but I can’t see Brooklyn wanting anything Golden State would offer.

Wiseman, Kuminga, Moody, Poole…they are all nice prospects, but none are guaranteed all-star level production.

Brooklyn are without their own upcoming draft picks, so they have zero incentive to go into a full rebuild.

A couple nice pieces in there, but I agree, no guarantees. But Brooklyn can always pick up superstars in the FA market. All they need is for a couple of players to decide that they want to play together in New York at some point in the future and Brooklyn will be back on top. Sadly, same can be said for other attractive cities, eg LA and Miami.

One of the more satisfying ways this plays out is KD goes back to the Warriors and the Celtics beat the Warriors in a Finals rematch but with KD.

Wiggins + Wiseman + Kuminga + Moody + three #1s would be solid.

Goran Dragic signs with Chicago

That is really surprising. Why in the world did he not sign in DAL to play with Luka if it was just going to be for the minimum? I thought that was pretty much a guarantee.

Why didn't he sign with us?

I read it came down to roster spots and Dallas having bigger needs.

Why Chicago, though?  Don’t they have PG depth?

He wouldnt play much here with Smart,Brogdon,White,Pritchard , and I'd rather see JD get garbage time.

But I am surprised he didn't go with Dallas, Miami, 76ers,PHX Either LA teams. Chicago may be middle of the pack or lower.

I thought the Bulls were stacked with guards. Ball, Caruso, Dosunmu, LaVine, Matt Thomas, White...

Wiggins + Wiseman + Kuminga + Moody + three #1s would be solid.

I've seen a few variations on this package, but I think that Wiggins can't be traded to Brooklyn while it has Ben Simmons sitting on its bench dressed as a clown on its team, due to a rookie trade extension rule:

Ball seems to still have Knee issuse they can't figure out(maybe its playing for the Bulls) and White has been rumored in trades along with Caruso.

This could mean they are about to make a trade, They're really thin with the bigs and longer wings.

Ah.  I didn’t realize Wiggins was a DRE player.

Jaylen really might be the best possible return, unless they deal Simmons for garbage.

GSW can't do it with out Wiggins, unless they move Green or Thompson. A third team could get involved Like Utah were they take Wiggins, but the Nets get all the picks they just snagged from Minni and the Nets Wiseman, Kuminga, and what works with money from Utah.

Would GSW go cold-blooded - make the deal larger, include Draymond for Ben Simmons?

That avoids the Designated Rookie Extension problem.

So GSW would have younger Ben Simmons as the new Draymond & KD as the new Wiggins. BKN would get Wiggins, young prospects, picks and probably be looking to off-load Draymond to a contender elsewhere.

I'm not sure GSW has it in them to be that cold blooded to someone who has meant so much to them ... but ... Draymond is getting older ... and that Durant fellow is pretty good.

Good 5th guard / 3rd string combo guard. Dragic could've filled that role with us too.

Although we do have Pritchard. Still, Dragic can play SG.
