The offseason is over, training camp has started, and it’s time to get weird. Longtime readers know what that means: It’s time to dust off the trusty bizarro-meter and find out which teams had the strangest offseason.
But first, let’s just make sure everything is still working.
(Dramatically pulls tarp off of machine, brushes off cobwebs.)
(Turns enormous crank to get it started until lights start flickering and a faint humming sound can be heard.)
(Waits patiently for output.)
(Hears a computerized voice declare “The league assures us that fans love the animated board ads, they all swear it makes the viewing experience much better.”)
Huh. Yeah, I’d say it’s working. Let’s get started.
But first, a reminder: We’re looking for how weird an offseason was, and “weird” is a value-neutral term. It doesn’t mean good, and it doesn’t mean bad. It doesn’t mean busy, or quiet. A weird decision can be brilliant or disastrous or somewhere in between, and playing it safe by doing nothing of note might be the weirdest choice of all. If you just want to know which offseasons were good or bad, check here. This is about who managed to surprise us, or confuse us, or make us point and laugh.
As always, we’ll do this by conference. Today, we get started with the West.
