2014 NBA Draft & Off Season Discussion & Rumors Thread

[key2win]

NBA Finals is about over. Draft is in 2 weeks. Free agency a few weeks after that. Going to be a busy offseason.

What are some things you think will happen? Any major all stars changing teams or trades that will be done?

I think Melo is going to the Bulls.

Lakers who knows, but hopefully sign Luol Deng, Greg Monroe, and keep their #7 pick (Marcus Smart).

LeBron's leaving Miami.

I saw Jordan wants to lure Lebron to Washington....I might gain a pinch of respect for James if he does, and starts from scratch there and not the manufactured team Mia was.

Congrats to San Antonio BTW....they rocked that series, WELL deserved!

MJ wants to lure him to Washington? Dont you mean Charlotte?

[azdbacks1998]

You said it....my mistake.

[jsab4807]

He'd never go to Charlotte. Team has no one good to put around him. Realistically, Miami/Cleveland should be his only two options....if he went to any other franchise, his legacy would be even more tarnished compared to how people already view it.

Rumors last few days have Rockets, Bulls, Warriors, and Celtics trying to trade for Kevin Love.

Rockets and Bulls after Carmelo in free agency. But need to get rid of Omer Asik, Jeremy Lin, Carlos Boozer, and Taj Gibson's contracts first.

76ers trying to trade Thaddeus Young with the #10 pick.

Warriors trying to trade David Lee due to his contract.

Newest rumors today.

Big one in Warriors trading Klay Thompson and David Lee to Wolves for Kevin Love, Kevin Martin, and the #13 pick. How the heck does the Wolves trade Kevin Love AND their lottery pick in this deal instead of getting picks in return. LOL!

Nuggets trading Kenneth Farried, Wilson Chandler, and Arron Afflalo (from Orlando in a deal) to Wolves for Kevin Love.

Reports have Lakers and Sixers talking trade. The latest update said it was Nash and #7 for Michael Carter-Williams and Thaddeus Young. Sixers will then get three picks in the top 10. Their own picks #3 and #10 along with the Lakers #7.

I think Lakers should still do it. Maybe try to get pick #32 and #30 out of them. Nash is done and basically a waste of space and salary. Him and Thaddeus make the same amount of money and are both free agents at the end of the season. They may even be able to trade Thaddeus since they are shooting for Love next summer. MCW is the reigning ROY and probably is better than anyone Lakers can get at #7. With Embiid now hurt, Marcus Smart may get drafted sooner. I rather have a proven 22 year old ROY than a college rookie that you dont wont pan out. Lakers can get younger, quicker, and better with MCW and Young. Plus they still have $20 million or so to sign a few free agents.

Today's rumors.

Lakers going to trade the #7 pick to Warriors for Klay Thompson, who then will trade him with David Lee to Wolves to Kevin Love. I prefer the Lakers keep their pick instead of getting Klay, plus why help Warriors get Kevin Love.

Bulls rumored to trading first round pick for Arron Affalo.

I hope the Suns make some smart moves this offseason, we are just a few players shy of contending!

[key2win]

Nets rumored to trade Marcus Thornton to Cavs for Jarrett Jack.

[key2win]

Rumors today Mavs interested in Pau. Lakers interested in Lowry.

No surprises with these. Carmelo opts out. Duncan opts in.

[schwood]

I just want to see if the Celtics do anything.

[key2win]

Todays rumors.

Lakers and Cavs trying to cut salary to sign both Lebron and Carmelo.

Clippers may trade Blake for Lebron.

Cavs taking offers from Jazz, Bulls, Magic, and Celtics for #1 pick.

Pistons may trade Josh Smith to Kings for Jason Thompson and either Derrick Williams, Jason Terry, or Carl Landry.
