Which 5 teams has had the worst off-season so far?

1. Houston - unnecessarily lost Chandler Parsons (could have kept him on his rookie contract and then still signed Trevor Ariza and have a ton of cap space). Still have a lot of cap space, so they could turn it around.

2. New York - gave Carmelo Anthony too big of a contract (should have forced him to take another 10 million less). Couldn't move Bargnani or Stoudemire. Doubtful they will make the playoffs despite getting Calderon.

3. Atlanta - got Sefolosha and Bazemore, but struck out with Deng, Gasol. Still have cap space - let's see what happens.

4. Thunder - didn't do anything despite having a decent trade exception. Anthony Morrow is overpaid.

5. Sacramento - convinced Rudy Gay to opt in, when they would have a large amount of cap space if he hadn't.

Rockets - obvious. lost a lot to just get Ariza, missed on Bosh
Nets - lost Pierce, Livingston, Thornton just to get Jack. Lost their coach (which may turn out to be a good thing)
Pacers - lost arguably their best player. cannot trade Hibbert
Kings - Gay stayed
Thunder - kept Westbrook, Brooks, Perkins

Thunder had one of the best offseasons, dummy.

Really?
Morrow is enough to get the Thunder past San Antonio?
Now, if the Thunder had had Gasol, then definitely, the Thunder would have enough talent to match up with San Antonio.

Lakers?

lakers significantly improved their roster compared to last year

if you judge the lakers based on having to sign every big name. then yes they failed

but if you judge the lakers just on improvements

- randle = really good player
- boozer = really good player
- ed davis = good player
- jeremy lin = good player
- jordan clarkson = good player

compared to their losses

- pau gasol



its a successful offseason. they added more than they lost.

[JohnFreeman]

Except Rudy Gay had player option

Except Rudy Gay had player option

Yea, definitely.
But the team made the push to persuade him to opt in.

[JohnFreeman]

No, he opted in because he had $18 million on the table

Losing Fisher and Thabo alone is a significant upgrade from last year. It's only a given that Lamb and Morrow will eat up whatever minutes they left. Plus, getting a 3&D guy in Huestis, energetic big in McGary, improved overall young guys...this offseason is probably the best they've had in years. Not really saying much, but still.

...but will Brooks play Lamb?

...but will Brooks play Lamb?

He'll be forced to. One of them is replacing Thabo in the lineup. The other will be a backup.

That unless Brooks decides to make Reggie a full time starter.

[KNOW1EDGE]

Miami lost the best player in the world so I'd day they've had the worst off season.

Portland got worse. Lost Mo Williams and replaced him w/Steve f*cking Blake. Then signed Chris Kaman. We def added some white and some ugly. Keep Portland weird.

which I think would just be further evidence how bad Brooks is at figuring out player rotations
