NBA 2018 Offseason
Seems like this deserves its own thread.
Among other things...
- Draft
- LeBron
- Paul George
- Kawhi
- Other guys
Out here in LA, the rumors are at fever pitch over a potential LBJ/Paul George/Kawhi Leonard superteam. Folks are even trying to get inside scoop from the high school where LeBron's kids are supposedly going to enroll, we're interpreting tweets from Jeanie Buss and Kyle Kuzma, the Lakers are admonishing staff/players to shut up to avoid tampering. Mass hysteria!
Honestly, as much as I'd like to see Lakers succeed, right now it's hard to get fired up about this. I know the Lakers have succeeded by acquiring players via trade or free agency in the past (Wilt, Kareem, Shaq), but those were strategic and the teams still felt pretty organic. The only time they didn't (2003-04 Malone/Payton), it failed. Now, if this does come together (it's long odds for sure), I guess I might feel different by the time the playoffs roll around...
Re Draft, I'm not really paying much attention, except to see how badly the Kings screw it up, because that's just fun.
Re Other guys - Durant says he's gonna stay - is that a lock? Chris Paul, DeAndre Jordan? If you're in the West and you're not on the Warriors, your championship dreams require an addition of some sort, or a move. Boogie? Now he's not just a *******, but a ******* with a torn achilles. Who signs him, and for how much?
