*Official* NBA Offseason Topic

[Ghostvirus]

I figured since there are only 2 teams left, & with the NBA draft coming up in 2 weeks. It might be time to talk about what your team needs to do in the off season to be good.

I myself am a Bulls fan. I think of all the teams in this offseason. The Bulls have the potential to make the biggest changes. If they do it right they could very well be back on top in the East.

Anyway Talk amongst yourselves.

 

[Victor Von Doom]

Ain't off season yet. MAVS> you.

 

[Ghostvirus]

I know that but I just figured since the NBA season thread was dieing out this is where people that don't have there teams in the finals can go.

MAVS>you.

What the hell does that have to do with anything?

 

[ScottyBBadd]

Ain't off season yet.

It is for everyone but the Heat and Mavs.

 

[NOFX]

Anything think the clippers should make any changes like trading maggette or just keep there current roster for another year?

 

[Ghostvirus]

Wow! Thought that this thread was as good as dead. Good to see it is still kicking some what.

 

[Immortalfire]

What does my team need to do to improve? Uh...everything.

 

[U.S War Machine]

and what team is that

Latest rumor: Jermaine O'Neal and a draft pick off to Toronto in exchange for the #1 pick in this years draft and Charlie Villanueva.

 

[Tangled Web]

I hope Jordan Farmar comes back to school, and doesn't go in the draft.

I really don't know what the hell Indiana is thinking. This is BS! sadly though even if they don't trade him. It will put a strain on the Relationship between the Head honchos & Jermaine. So he is probably gonna have to go now. No matter what. Larry Bird, & Isiah Thomas were great players, but there staffing abilities are minimal.

A three time all star for who?

I guess they've deciding to go down the "rebuilding" path. It started last year with Artest getting shipped out and it looks like it's going to continue should the O'Neal rumors turn out to be true. Stephen Jackson is also likely out of Indy from what I've read.

Jermaine o'neal is on the downside of his career.... he's too injury prone.... and not even 30 yet.

Toronto should keep that young nucleus and continue to build.

 

[LastSunrise1981]

The Pacers could be a good team if they found a real good young point guard or center. Now if Ben Wallace went to Indiana, I think they'd be a force in the East once again.

The whole deal with Artest messed them up and they've never been the same since the brawl, since the Artest drama, and since being knocked out by the Spurs.

Indiana has a good team with Foster, O'Neal, Jackson, and Peja. I just think they're one great point guard/center away. It's a shame too, for I believe had Artest not pulled what he did, more than likely they would've won a championship this year or the next year.

 

[Go Web Go!]

Peja's a free agent. That's why Sacto traded him away. There's no guarantee that he'll be back with Indy. He's said in the past that he would like to play for the Bulls, among others.

I thought Peja recently confirmed that he'd like to remain in Indiana?

I could've sworn I heard Stephen A. Smith or Tim Legler mention it. But Chicago would be a nice team for him too, I think he'd be great in playing with the Jazz or maybe even the Nets.

He did say that he wouldn't mind staying, that he liked it there, etc. but if they start breaking the team apart then I don't see why he'd stay.

Also, this just in from ESPNews: Michael Jordan now part owner of the Bobcats

Bump

 

[dr venture]

LAC should definately keep Maggette

 

[Go Web Go!]

Bump

If they can upgrade at the position then they should make a move. They better hope to re-sign Sam Cassell and should make a run at re-signing Radmonovic. How's that?

Im not sooo sure about re-signing Radmonovic because they still have young rooke from last year who's alot similar to Ramonovic. I was thinking about Sam Cassel if we should re-sign. Hmmm if the Clippers cant get a deal done, they should really consider trying to get Jason Terry! Terry younger than Cassel, and has proven he's a big time player just like Terry. Let Cassel go to the Lakers, everybody wins. And lastly I would consider trading Mobley for a pick to save some money if they want to sign Kaman, and Livingston.
