Any suggestion for poll of the thread?

Since I had read this question I had been thinking all night what could be the poll for the thread. Cheesy

It starts with the season and teams are getting stronger. i.e. Miami, Nets, Nuggets, and Clippers might go back strong this year trying to correct what had gone wrong.
So the poll could start with which team will take the top rank for East and West.

East especially will be less predictable this year.

Lakers should be there as latest champions. Heat, Celtics and Nuggets are also contenders as latest conference final teams. What about Clippers, Raptors, Rockets and Warriors this season? Will they create strong teams again or lose their best players? There are too many question marks here.

There are not much activities in the off-season yet. Let's think of a poll later on. If I'm not mistaken December will mark the year's free agency and draft. We can start adding poll by January as it's 90% for me that NBA will start their next season in January.

Anyone with the update of the salary cut? If I remembered correctly, the cut officially took place a few weeks after the NBA cancelled the 2019-20 season.

There's no update of the salary cut yet but there will be for sure as they will continue to play the same set up which is the bubble, and in the bubble they will not the same projection of revenue they get during the normal seasons of the NBA, hopefully this new normal would end soon.

I can't think of any other poll but the same as before of who will be the next season's champ.

I think this idea for the poll is a little early because many good players are having the status of free agents at the current moment, and we don't know how many teams will be favorites in the next season.

Which will be good for the league as more and more franchise are now willing to recreate their team. Taking 3-5 stars and composed it with good role players will deliver your team to a good chance tripping to the final slot.

Let's talk about the poll after that for now, those movements and rumors are good to begin this new season as free agents are the big
thing to see which direction the players will go.

Which teams do you see as this year's favorites? It's pretty early, we didn't see draft, trades and transfers yet.
Honestly I don't know which teams to put on voting poll.

There are 5 unrestricted and 2 restricted free agents in Lakers right now that the future of these players with the team is still not sure.

Anthony Davis has a player option but he is more likely to stay with the Lakers after winning a chip.

There are lots of rooms for Tristan Thompson even not taking a small deal. He is just 29 years old so a late prime unlike JR Smith and Dwight Howard so they accept a small deal with requirements. I thought he's now a veteran lol.

Lebron will get a teammates that he like, he even help JR Smith to get signed with the Lakers, so there's no doubt about Thompson, if he likes to play with him. Actually, Lakers already has a lot of big guys who can step up, I think Davis and JaVale McGee are good enough for this team, and if in case they'll add, just add a young players that are willing to play all out to save from big salary expense.

JaVale McGee have 1 more year to play for the Lakers.
Dwight is UFA.
So they have some free space but that aint enough.
They will need to let go some of the players to put a fair salary for Thompson.
Whoever it is, we dont know yet.
I just know Lebron James demands will be granted.
The perks of being a star in Lakers just like Kobe.

With how he helped JR Smith to signed with them is ain't impossible for him to bring whoever he wanted to play alongside with, it's really the advantage

of being the star not just he got a huge salary but everything under that he can simply ask for it. Consideration might be there but more on granting

what he wanted is more possible as always.

I just changed the title to 2021 NBA Season. It looks like it won't start on December 21st, Adam Silver just announced that teams disagree with the decision. We probably won't see any regular season games this year. They think about mid January to start and that means a big revenue loss since they miss the chance of playing exclusive Christmas games.

Well, this off-season and next off season combined will finally see the players from 2016 spike that got too much money finally be off the books and that is going to make a lot of changes in NBA. Ever since those days teams decided that you either get a superstar and surround them with minimums, or you just do not pay players all that much and tank, there are very very few contracts that you can consider like Deng or Mozgov of Parsons type of contracts anymore, teams do not make that kind of mistake anymore.

Luol Deng getting 5 million per year TO THIS DAY from Lakers, or Whiteside getting 27!! million dollars, they are all ending soon. Which is why I think 2020's of NBA will be much more ruthless and we are going to see a lot more teams fighting for a title thanks to it.

There are length maximums to length but I get your point i think there will be a pullback of loose contracts. The problem is the lack of talent depth in the NBA right now so when I fringe star becomes available they get big money because teams tend to max out their cap so why not.

But surely, that's around a minimum deal (at least) and not the usual deal he is used to back in Cavaliers.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the details of his contract.

Thanks, man.
Please correct me if I'm wrong or there is a new update.
He is UFA (unrestricted free agent) for 2020-2021.
https://www.rotoworld.com/basketball/nba/player/29684/tristan-thompson/contract

He's young, athletic, and aggressive below the rim. I guess he could be a target for the next season of the Lakers.
Just not that much salary as he receives in Cavs but a chance for a championship. Then, his "Big Brother" will be there. Grin

Lebron will get a teammates that he like, he even help JR Smith to get signed with the Lakers, so there's no doubt about Thompson, if he likes to play with him.

Lots of rumors getting out.
Lebron James might recruit Tristian Thompson.

I doubt there's no such thing as an "invite" or "offer" involved on that dinner meeting. Cheesy

Kidding aside, Thompson is still considered as one of the valuable good role players in the league but I don't know how the deal will be finalized for him to land on the Lakers. As we know, the Lakers have target players that circulate on the rumor list.

But surely, that's around a minimum deal (at least) and not the usual deal he is used to back in Cavaliers.

Well it could be the same offer as what they did with Dwight Howard? It's like a game to game basis, or in any case, Dwight did proved his worth in the Lakers line up and then the Lakers give him what he deserved. So most probably if Lakers are interested on him, we might see similar negotiations and wait for Tristan to blossom first in LA uniform with his bro Lebron.

I'm checking his contract right now and it seems he has no contract yet for 2020-2021 season, well, you are right, he will not get a max salary anymore because he was coming from a shitty team and if Lakers would want to land him, there's not much space for salary for him.

https://hoopshype.com/player/tristan-thompson/salary/

Time flies, suddenly we almost forgot him because Lebron leave his original team. Angry

Yeah he is a free agent so he can sign antlywhere. If he wants a shot at the title he can sign for the vet minimum since he has already made $100mil thats a possibility. It would be smart for him to sign a short term deal, possibly win a championship then go for another payday

Is there any fan of Beasley in here? I've read a bad news how he acted against a family. This is hot news for him and his wife.

https://www.nba.com/news/minnesota-timberwolves-guard-malik-beasley-charged-with-threatening-strangers-with-gun

Not a fan of this guy, in the news it's "Malik Beasley ", I thought it was Michael Beasley because this guy looks like into drugs.

I've been laughing at his interview in this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkRtHNhK2OA) as he looks high, so he was the first one that came into my mind.

Same. I thought at first it was Michael.
CBS made an article about this 4 days ago. I guess the NBA website is kinda late posting it.
I haven't followed the news and there is really no update up until now.
Marijuana and drugs. This is a big one if proven, he will lose his job for being foolish.

Dont know the status of the Lakers cap space but he will definately have to take a pay cut. Based on where his girlfriend lives though the Lakers will be a likely spot for him to land. Would be a good situation for him where he won't be expected to score much, just play hand nose defense
