2024 Offseason Thread

This guy is really good. He knows his stuff. Maybe it's because it's way late at night and my brain has slowed down, but this dude talks fast!

Not exactly, I've seen many people on here talking about running a lineup of Murray - BI - Herb - Z - Theis which is something that I do not like at all. In this video the dude mentions Pelicans were bottom 5 in 3pt volume... and that's with CJ putting up 8+ attempts per game! Take CJ out of the lineup and we are probably last in the league in 3pt volume. I am a firm believer that we need either CJ or Trey in the starting lineup. A small ball lineup of Murray - BI - Herb - Trey - Zion fits the bill, but that is the only scenario in which it makes sense to move CJ to the bench.

Murray shoots a fair amount of 3s, Murphy also does obviously. We need to bite the bullet and use a weak 1st to move Cj and his terrible salary/cap hit.

We don't need to move CJ at all. Murray is an average 3 point shooter, Trey Murphy is the only guy besides CJ on the roster who is a real 3 point threat (talking volume and accuracy).

Let's try again... I said.. "He's saying a lot of what we've been saying here".. You respond with "not exactly".. Not to be contentious but yes.. He's said a lot of what we've been saying here... exactly. If you want to highlight other issues you have that is fine.

Actually lets not try again. I said what I said try not to get your feelings hurt about it.

You're embarrassing yourself. Why would my feelings be hurt by you not comprehending so well? "I said what I said" is what ghetto females utter in online blog sites. Do better my boy.

As someone that watched more Chicago Sky games than I care to admit, I say no. Maybe she did help him through some tough times, but he seems more locked in since she left. Let's stay with that.

KAT going to NY

Knicks are sending salary -- including DaQuan Jeffries -- and draft compensation to Charlotte in three-team Karl-Anthony Towns/Julius Randle deal, sources tell me and @JonKrawczynski. https://t.co/dP4x8dTvr9

I know there's financial considerations to all of this; but it certainly seems we could have beaten the Knicks offer to obtain Kat

Totally agree. Another mess for griff(one more).

Sounds like something that would require us to be a tax team
And the team avoids the Tax, can't be helped.

KAT would be perfect for this team. However, fitting 3 years/$170 million would not be easy. Just to match salary, it would take BI plus another $15 million or so. That would mean Herb would likely have to be involved unless you could convince them to take on CJ as well as BI.

I don't think they'd take BI and CJ.. They'd want BI, and Herb. I personally don't believe Kat is worth BI, and Herb. Though I think he would pair well next to Zion.

Yep. I would consider it if it wasn’t for the salary situation and there was a FA we could pursue. If we got rid of Herb without getting the replacement, I don’t think it is worth he and BI. That is your best defender by far that showed a legit budding 3 pt range.

Good deal for us, I think he could've gotten more if he tested the market

RIP Dikembe. Rest easy Deke.
