NBA Off-season Winners and Losers

So the NBA off-season is pretty much over. The draft, the major trades, and of course Free Agency have all came and went. Some Free Agents such as David Lee, Ray Felton, Allen Iverson, Ramon Sessions, Nate Robinson, Linas Kleiza, and Big Baby Davis are still unsigned. Pretty much all of these players have been rumored to go overseas mainly to Olympiakos, and it looks like Kleiza is really close to signing with the Greek club. Also, two of those players, Lee and Robinson are on the Knicks. The Knicks are said to be interested in Sessions and Felton but both are still Free Agents as of today. So with all of this, I present my 2009 NBA off-season Winners and Losers WINNERS: Los Angeles Lakers -The defending champs were able to re-sign Lamar Odom and get Ron Artest for the Mid-Level Exception. The are clearly my favorites to win the title next year and become the first team to repeat since they won 3 straight titles in 00, 01, 02. the rich get richer and the strong get stronger. Bos...

So based on some of the players I had listed I have my 5 trades that make at least some sense. Since they all make since, none of them will happen. At least not exactly the same way. NOTE: I added the draft say trades and all contract information is based on the 2009-2010 season. TRADE #1 http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=267ztkz There have been some rumors that the TWolves are interested in Anthony Randolph. Some rumors say could trade one of their 3 1st round picks and someone else to get him. I think if their is a trade both teams might just go all out and make it a blockbuster deal, here's how it would benefit both teams. MIN: Monta Ellis and Anthony Randolph They get a great scorer in Ellis and the length they want at the small forward spot with Randolph. They also keep their pick and...

  2025 NBA MOCK DRAFT   FIRST ROUND 1. DALLAS MAVERICKS Cooper Flagg-CF-Duke        6'9'' / 221 / 7'0'' 19.2 PTS         7.5 REB           4.2 AST           38 .5% 3PT      84.0%-FT     Fr./18.5 Hometown : Newport, Maine Current NBA Comparison : Kawhi Leonard/Jalen Williams Old School NBA Comparison:  Kevin Garnett/Tom Chambers ROLE : Superstar  BEST TOOLS : Versatility/Playmaking/Defense/Team Player Flagg is a generational prospect. Magic Johnson is probably the only player in history to be as versatile and skilled as an 18 year old. Flagg does everything well on a basketball court. More importantly, has the mentality, toughness and maturity to be the face of a franchise and potentially the entire league. He was the best player in college basketball and led a stacked Duke roster in every category. His playm...
