2018 Official Offseason Thread

[Nyce_1 311]

Reading around, seems like the 3 teams in talks with Lakers to get Ball were/are Orl, Mil, PHX. 

That's why I think things have been super quiet with us.

Will we consider this to be a successful offseason if all we really do is draft Bamba, re-sign Gordon to his 4/84 contract, and sign IT to a 1-2 year deal? 

What grade would you give the offseason? 

B-, or maybe just an I(ncomplete)

I would say B+. We were never making a big splash in free agency as we had no money. Getting Bamba was massive IMO. I’m pretty high On Frazier as well. 

Im still hopeful of a Vuch trade.

The off-season grade is more tied to Vuc still being on the team

My season ticket holder friend who knows the secretary to the office where the GMs work hypothesizes that the hold up on IT is that they are trying to work out a sign and trade that could allow IT a multi year deal.  The Magic will do it if it gets rid of a bad contract (Biz).  They don't want to use Vuc on this deal for some reason.  Magic want a one year deal, but IT is hesitant. My source has been found to be reliable in the past.  Mathematically I don't know who we'd absorb to rid of Biz.

We don't need the Lakers to S&T to get IT on a multi-year deal unless we're planning on paying him more than $8.5M/year. And why would we do that? Who are we bidding against for his services? The Lakers are moving in the totally opposite direction of taking on long-term bad contracts too, so no way they do it with Biz. They want expiring deals for next summer.

I know you're just messing around but the Lakers renounced Thomas

Oh good - everyone with all these sources. I was starting to feel left out.
