Should Giannis Antetokounmpo be signed or released?
The rising star power of Giannis Antetokounmpo has him dominating the All-Star voting in recent years. Milwaukee Bucks fans hope he can lead them into present day success along with the future.

Should Kyrie Irving be signed or released?

Should Paul George be signed or released?

Some say he’s a top ten player while others consider him highly overrated due to his limitations. Is George worth signing or releasing on your NBA roster?
Should Joel Embiid be signed or released?
Joel Embiid certainly leaves an impact on anyone to witness his play. The Philadelphia 76ers center is known for having an entertaining personality. Embiid put up great numbers last season as one of the best at his position. Injury concerns are the only fear regarding him. Would your team be better off signing or releasing Embiid?
Should Devin Booker be signed or released?
Devin Booker is among the top young prospects in the league today. The Phoenix Sun failing to win games has not put Booker on the radar of most fans, but his shooting certainly shows the potential to become a superstar. Unfortunately, a recent controversial injury can see him miss some of this season. Is Booker worth adding to a roster?
Should Karl-Anthony Towns be signed or released?
Another rising young star in the NBA is Karl-Anthony Towns. No other center has the ceiling of Towns given the strength he has in just about every relevant facet of the game. Towns reportedly is having locker room issues with Jimmy Butler on the Minnesota Timberwolves. Would it be a wise move to add a young rising star like Towns or release him due to controversy?
Should Kawhi Leonard be signed or released?
Kawhi Leonard has many fans questioning him following the controversial exit from the San Antonio Spurs. The past season saw Leonard essentially refuse to play for San Antonio citing an injury before demanding a trade. Leonard is now on the Toronto Raptors before free agency next summer. Is it worth signing Leonard given the risks or releasing him?
Should Klay Thompson be signed or released?
Klay Thompson will be one of the top free agents on the market next summer. Many would argue he’s the fourth most important member of the Golden State Warriors despite having the potential to be a top ten player in the entire league. Should your team sign Thompson to a max contract or let him go?
Should Damian Lillard be signed or released?
The Portland Trail Blazers will have to prove they can contend in the Western Conference to keep Damian Lillard happy. Many people he is a top-three point guard but needs another true superstar to contend for an NBA Championship. Lillard’s future is up in the air. Would your decision be to sign Lillard to a max or let him go?
Should John Wall be signed or released?
Another point guard with a lot of differing opinions about him is John Wall. Many of his supporters believe the Washington Wizards don’t give him enough help to contend in the Eastern Conference. Critics believe Wall is the problem as he can’t be the best player on a contending team. Would it be better to see Wall signed or released by your team?
Should Al Horford be signed or released?
The Boston Celtics have a couple of interesting players on their roster when it comes to league value. Al Horford fits in perfectly as the top center for the Celtics. He certainly is talented, but many people question if he’s legitimately a top player at his position. Is Horford worth signing or releasing on the average NBA team?
Should Jayson Tatum be signed or released?
Another talented player on the Boston Celtics is the young rising star Jayson Tatum. He did not win Rookie of the Year, but he may have been the most impressive rookie in the postseason. Tatum led Boston to one game short of reaching the NBA Finals without Kyrie Irving or Gordon Hayward. Should he be on your roster?
Should Donovan Mitchell be signed or released?
Donovan Mitchell is among the top young assets in the league right now. The stellar play of Mitchell last season led the Utah Jazz to the postseason with a surprising first-round upset over the Oklahoma City Thunder. Mitchell has huge pressure to take them further this year. Would he be a good fit on your team roster?
Should Victor Oladipo be signed or released?
Victor Oladipo rightfully won the Most Improved Player Award last season. No one expected him to lead the Indiana Pacers to playoffs, let alone fall just one game short of eliminating LeBron James’ Cleveland Cavaliers squad. The hope is for Oladipo to continue leading the Pacers to huge success. Is there enough trust in him to sign him on your team?
Should Nikola Jokic be signed or released?
There are high expectations for the Denver Nuggets to make a big leap forward this season. Not only do pundits think Denver should make the playoffs, but there is the thought they must get a top four seed with their deep roster. Nikola Jokic is a major reason why due to his potential. Has Jokic shown enough to sign him or not?
Should DeMar DeRozan be signed or released?
Many NBA players, pundits and fans felt for DeMar DeRozan this offseason. The Toronto Raptors traded him for Kawhi Leonard and didn’t inform him about it until it was over. There are people that believe that trading DeRozan was a dumb move while others think he just wasn’t good enough to lead them to the NBA Finals. Should DeRozan be signed or released given the facts?
Should Ben Simmons be signed or released?
The future of Ben Simmons bright after a stellar rookie season for the Philadelphia 76ers. Simmons looked great and has the potential to be the best star in the NBA one day. However, his horrible jump shot could derail this if he can’t find a way to correct the problem. Would your team be better off signing Simmons to a long deal?
Should Gordon Hayward be signed or released?
Gordon Hayward missed the entire past season due to a brutal injury on opening night for the Boston Celtics. There is a belief that he’s already lost his starting job with young Celtics passing him. Hayward did make the All-Star the year prior to show his worth. Should Hayward be signed or released by a title contender?
Should Kyle Lowry be signed or released?
The Toronto Raptors failing in the playoffs over the past few seasons have hurt the reputation of Kyle Lowry. His regular season numbers do show that he is a great point guard that puts up impressive numbers. Sadly, the playoff flops have become more memorable. Would your team sign or release him?
Should Kevin Love be signed or released?
Kevin Love has been a part of the past four NBA Finals with the Cleveland Cavaliers. That streak is clearly coming to an end without LeBron James on the roster. Love is still considered a top power forward despite criticism towards his game. Is Love worth signing to a long term deal or is he better off getting released?
Should Jrue Holiday be signed or released?
Jrue Holiday had a breakout postseason for the New Orleans Pelicans. The point guard is a former All-Star, but fans didn’t realize how good he’s been in recent years until dominating against the Portland Trail Blazers. Pelicans fans hope he can be a second star with Anthony Davis in New Orleans. Is Holiday worth keeping or releasing from a roster?
Should Blake Griffin be signed or released?
Blake Griffin is now the hope for the Detroit Pistons fan base following a surprising trade from the Los Angeles Clippers. The status of Griffin was once a top-ten player and consistent All-Star. Time will tell if he can return to that form following years of injuries. Would your GM role feature Griffin joining or being removed from your roster?
Should Dirk Nowitzki be signed or released?
Former great players growing old is a tough thing for NBA teams to deal with. Dirk Nowitzki is clearly a future Hall of Famer, but he does not contribute as much for the Dallas Mavericks as prior years. There’s still experience and leadership skills he provides. Would your team add or remove Nowitzki from the roster?
Should Dwyane Wade be signed or released?
Dwyane Wade is another aging former superstar still in the NBA. There is mystery about his future when it comes to his current free agent status. The Miami Heat are trying to figure out if to sign Wade or let him go given the regression to his game. Would your team choose to sign or let Wade walk away?
Should Draymond Green be signed or released?
Draymond Green is one of the most controversial players in the NBA due to his aggressive playing style. The defense and all-around contributions by Green have been valuable to the Golden State Warriors dynasty. However, some pundits question how well he would do on the average NBA roster. Would it be wiser to add or remove Green from your team?
Should Eric Bledsoe be signed or released?
The Milwaukee Bucks were disappointed that the addition of Eric Bledsoe did not get them over the hump to make the second round of the postseason in the Eastern Conference. Bledsoe will have another chance to prove his worth to the Bucks this season, but there are reports he’ll be on the trade block. Would your team want him?
Should Rudy Gobert be signed or released?
Rudy Gobert is a great defensive center for the Utah Jazz. There are concerns about his lack of an offensive game being an issue moving forward. Every team needs the art of spacing and open outside shots to win games. Gobert must improve that for the Jazz to contend. Would your team trust Gobert enough to add him?
Should Harrison Barnes be signed or released?
Harrison Barnes was an important part of the 2015 Golden State Warriors winning the NBA Championship and the 2016 Warriors winning 73 regular season games. Sadly, fans have forgotten about Barnes since he went to the Dallas Mavericks following Kevin Durant taking his spot in Golden State. Is Barnes good enough to add to your team?
Should Isaiah Thomas be signed or released?
The future of Isaiah Thomas will depend on how he produces this season for the Denver Nuggets. Thomas had a terrible season last year for the Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Lakers coming off a hip injury. The season before the injury saw him as an MVP candidate. Would it be worth signing Thomas or is it better letting him go?
Should Aaron Gordon be signed or released?
Aaron Gordon received a max contract from the Orlando Magic in the recent offseason. It made sense given the Magic desperately needs to have talented young players to build around. However, many questioned the move and questioned Gordon being an All-Star caliber player. Is Gordon good enough to sign to such a contract?
Should Myles Turner be signed or released?
The Indiana Pacers have high hopes entering the season due to a few of their young talents. Myles Turner taking a major step forward is arguably the most important key to their success moving forward. League perception of Turner varies from future superstar to role player. Would your GM role see Turner added or removed from your roster?
Should Derrick Rose be signed or released?
The career of Derrick Rose is viewed through a depressing perception from most fans. Rose was once an MVP winner and arguably the best point guard in the league for the Chicago Bulls. Injuries destroyed his career as a top star. Rose is now struggling for playing time as a reserve for the Minnesota Timberwolves. Should he be signed to your roster or released?
Should Andre Iguodala be signed or released?
Andre Iguodala is one of the most surprising NBA Finals MVP winners for his role in the 2015 Golden State Warriors NBA Championship win. The Warriors now sees him as the sixth most important player on the roster despite being so talented. Would your team be content adding an aging Iguodala or better suited letting him go?
Should Rajon Rondo be signed or released?
The Los Angeles Lakers surprisingly added Rajon Rondo to their roster in the offseason. Rondo is considered one of the smartest players in the league due to his playmaking abilities. His lack of a shooting or scoring game is the biggest problem. Would your team prefer to add or release him from the roster?
Should Ricky Rubio be signed or released?
Ricky Rubio was surprisingly a great addition for the Utah Jazz last season. Not many expected the team to win a playoff series, but Rubio was a major reason why. The passing ability of Rubio helped many of his teammates out. Would your team be interested in adding Rubio or should he be let go?
Should D'Angelo Russell be signed or released?
The Brooklyn Nets are hoping D’Angelo Russell can become a top point guard for them. Russell had a disappointing run with the Los Angeles Lakers, but he looked great in spurts during his first season in Brooklyn. Would your GM skills have you sign Russell to your team or let him walk?
Should Brook Lopez be signed or released?
The career of Brook Lopez took a step backwards when playing for the Los Angeles Lakers. Lopez didn’t receive much playing time due to the Lakers wanting to play younger stars during their rebuilding effort. Past success has seen Lopez put up impressive numbers. Would your team be better off adding or releasing Lopez?
Should Tony Parker be signed or released?
The San Antonio Spurs made a surprising move letting Tony Parker walk away after having a legendary run with the team. Parker has struggled to contribute over the past few years following injuries and the aging process. The Charlotte Hornets signed him to a two-year deal. Was the right move made by Charlotte to sign Parker or by the Spurs to let him go?
Should Lonzo Ball be signed or released?
Lonzo Ball will have a huge season ahead of him for the Los Angeles Lakers. LeBron James joining the team means the Lakers young stars will have to make huge steps forward to contend or risk being moved. Ball had a tough rookie season with a horrible looking shot. Would your team prefer to sign Lonzo or release him?
Should JJ Redick be signed or released?
JJ Redick re-signing with the Philadelphia 76ers was a huge move for this season. Philadelphia values the three-point shooting of Redick. Many teams think outside shooting is the most important thing in the league right now even for veterans. Would your team want to sign or release Redick from the roster?
Should Serge Ibaka be signed or released?
The career of Serge Ibaka has seen many ups and downs. Ibaka is most known for playing great defense and being one of the top shot blockers in the league. The Toronto Raptors are hoping he’ll form chemistry with Kawhi Leonard. Is Ibaka a player you want on your roster or not?
Should Pau Gasol be signed or released?
The veteran Pau Gasol is still in the league as a starting center for the San Antonio Spurs. Most fans instantly think of the Los Angeles Lakers NBA Championship wins in 2009 and 2010 when looking at Gasol. He is certainly behind his prime right now as he inches closer towards retirement. Is Pau worth adding on a roster at this stage?
Should Carmelo Anthony be signed or released?
Carmelo Anthony struggled to find support following his horrible season with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Many pundits believe Anthony is over the hill as the Thunder desperately traded him. The Houston Rockets hope to find success from adding him to the roster. Did Houston make the right move adding him or did Oklahoma City make the right move getting rid of him?
Should DeMarre Carroll be signed or released?
Many people forget that DeMarre Carroll was once a major difference maker for the Atlanta Hawks during their best recent seasons. Carroll currently is a role player on the Brooklyn Nets trying to help them turn things around for the better. Would your team want a veteran like Carroll on the roster or not?
Should JR Smith be signed or released?
The Cleveland Cavaliers are looking for their role players to have big seasons this year with LeBron James no longer on the roster. JR Smith may be the most motivated player after the disaster of forgetting the score in the recent NBA Finals. Is Smith worth adding to your roster or should he be released?
Should Steven Adams be signed or released?
Steven Adams is hoping to have a bigger role in the Oklahoma City Thunder offense with Carmelo Anthony no longer on the team. The defense of Adams has been very impressive, and he even plays well on the offensive side in limited touches. Would one want Adams on your team or would you rather pass on him?
Should Trevor Ariza be signed or released?
Trevor Ariza leaving the Houston Rockets has many fans expecting them to take a step back. The Phoenix Suns paid Ariza more money to hopefully improve their roster and teach the young prospects on the team. Ariza proved last season he can contribute to a contender. Should Ariza be added to your roster or let go?
Should Jahlil Okafor be signed or released?
One of the most disappointing players in the NBA is Jahlil Okafor. The center showed a lot of promise in college entering the league, but he has failed to get playing time by the Philadelphia 76ers or Brooklyn Nets. Okafor hopes to prove his worth with the New Orleans Pelicans this season. Would your team take the chance on him?
Should Chris Bosh be signed or released?
Chris Bosh is currently not on an NBA roster, but there are rumors of him wanting to return this season. The career of Bosh was sidelined with health risks following the blood clots discovered on his lungs. Bosh reportedly believes he is healthy enough to give it another chance. Would your team sign or release Bosh?
