The Winners and Losers of NBA Free Agency

[@nathanielnemirovsky6343]

Warriors are lowkey winners. We replaced klay and cp3 with kyle anderson, buddy hield, and DeAnthony melton. If you know ball, you know these guys can seriously contribute.

[@thedoniyorbek5765]

that’s exactly what i am talking about, if smhw Dunleavy would be able to steal Lauri from Jazz not sending Podz or Kum/Moody, that would be absolutely awesome job from 2nd year GM

[@ryanhillier107]

Buddy is a big defensive liability but i guess thats why you add melton also

[@ryanhillier107]

Slomo is highly underrated.

[@tnertthegreat]

They aren’t gonna help win anything

[@sadmarinersfan8935]

The problem is tho is at best they are probably a 10 to 7 seed in the stacked west I mean they could still be a playoff team maybe but that’s not going to be enough for the fan base I feel they really should just rebuild but they would never trade curry plus it’s impossible to trade Wiggins without giving up one of the young guys so that’s not happening I get it’s hard to trade an iconic player my thunder made the right choices when it was time for the future even if it was hard to see Westbrook go and other players but if you don’t blow it up before it’s too late it’s going to be a painful long experience

Bro I'm sorry but san Antonio won't trade sochan by any means. Lockdown and glue guy that is really improving his shooting. If he hits 35% instead of 30% of his three shots he's gonna be considered one of the best two-way guys out there. Also he just ended year two and is 20 still, can people have a little patiance? Nobody expects him to be KD, he is gonna like draymond

I feel like it’s not right to call the clippers losers in a free agency video when your main point was the trade they made 5 years ago. Was it a bad trade yes but you still do it because it was the only way Kawhi was signing and injuries really ruined the duos full potential.

[@gooseallie4417]

With Hartenstein leaving and Mitch Rob having injury concerns, will we be seeing small ball with Randle at the 5? Or do we think they'll look for a starting center via trade before the season starts? Maybe a trade for Capela or John Collins (if you see him as a center)?

[@Keedz]

Probably just ride the season out with Rob, Achiuwa & Sims I assume. But if rob has another long term injury during the season I definitely see a panic button trade coming

[@dennywedel1888]

Hey love your vids, but I have to disagree with the Warriors take..i personally think so far this off season has been a huge win, with buddy, Kyle, and Melton on great contracts to replace and build the roster out, with plans to maybe get Lauri if possible. Also klay was also just throwing tantrums and kinda not accepting his role. So I also think it’s a W that we let go of him and didn’t just overpay him because of the past

[@WDManns]

I’m very happy to see Chris Paul, going to play wemby given that he was robbed of the chance of getting to play with the late great Kobe Bryant due to the mysterious veto. I think it’s really a full circle moment for Chris Paul and if anybody deserves to play with Victor, it should be Chris Paul.

Naming Tobias Harris' agent as a winner is a funny way of not listing Detroit as losers. I think Detroit could actually improve to north of 20 wins next year. Unfortunately that could mean they drop to around the 10th pick in the draft.

[@gooseallie4417]

I actually think the pistons picked the worst year to get better with how the draft looks next year

[@kurtpittman7225]

@@gooseallie4417 That's true, but they've been absolutely awful the last 5 years and aren't showing development among the guys they've drafted over that time. Detroit could double their win total from last year and it could only cost them a few percentage points in their odds of winning the lottery. They're still going to be a bad team. There was never any chance they'd be able to fix that through free agency. We're just talking about the difference between maybe 15 or 25 wins.

i m gonna be considering warriors winners if they can somehow sign Buddy Hield as a Klay Thompson replacement. and would be absolutely awesome job if warriors front office can get Markkanen not giving up Kuminga, Podz or Moody. will see what's gonna happen next and hope for the bright future!

You know that they could only give Hart 72 million right?? Mikal is irrelevant towards who they can pay or not. They paid OG, didn't lose any serious names and paid their rookies without breaking into the 2nd apron.

@@RomanBishop2K They could ONLY give Hartenstein 72 million. Not because of cap space, but on his early bird rights. So their hands were tied. Trading for Bridges was never connected to that fact. Also KCP isn't trying to sign team friendly deal while he's a free agent.

[@gooseallie4417]

Kuminga was never offered. The trade would have put the clippers over the second apron and would completely handicap them from doing any future moves. As much as it hurt losing PG for nothing was the best move. Now they can make trades sign waived players etc.

[@palatinatur]

@@gooseallie4417 I completely agree with you. Paul George leaving "for nothing" gave the Clippers more than a trade. It gives them room to breathe again. With the new CBA rule, the penalties for keeping or trading Paul George would have been too high. They are well aware that they will not win anything with or without Paul George anymore. And if the Clippers don't get any first round picks in a trade, it's not worth it for them to go over the second apron.

[@Hirtelen-pf1dp]

Dunn, Jones, KP jr, Batum, Bamba - All can defend and all can shoot the three. I think thats a better haul than whatever the Warriors were offering. Plus KP Jr is basically a Norman Powell with better defense, making Powell tradable, Jones and Dunn make Mann tradable so dont be surprised if they get another player in the 30-35 mill range
