The Official NBA Season Thread: Happy Birthday WASHED KING

[Mister Meaner]

Celtics still don't have a PG. I can see them having the same "you score, I score" problem with Tatum and Brown.

CP0 to Boston now that they don’t have a pg?

I can’t wait to HATE HATE HATE that team if he ever suited up for them.

 

[lawdog1]

Thanks, but no thanks, Knicks.

It seems highly doubtful that the Celtics stop at the KP move. Interested to see how they fill this roster out now.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

It's impressive how the clippers improve their roster every year and somehow keep getting worse. I definitely thought they were screwed like 3 years ago when they made that horrible trade for Morris but they've been able to get off of bad contracts and give their fans false hope every year since

 

[picasso swerve]

Now the Jays can actually take the last shot instead of Smart

I know Boston fans would be calling for his head for that shot he took game 6. If White never got the put back oooooffff.

 

[lynchpin33]

Tyus catching strays damn. Never was a fan of his but he was the perf backup for Memphis

That was their problem for years, they never addressed it and once they did, team got significantly better

 

[Coupé It]

Thanks, but no thanks, Knicks.

Whoa whoa.

Julius Randle is an All-NBA Team guy tho.

He was just an All-Star.


You don’t want a top 15 player on your team?

We'll definitely see. I also don't see Portland wanting to rush anything as well. I think they'll wait patiently.

Yeah, drafting Scoot and seeing how he reacts publicly is the move. The conversation surrounding "The Blazers should do right by Dame with a trade" is interesting. I think people forget there is a balance between trading him where he wants to go and also making sure you get back appropriate value.

I think the Nets are intriguing because they have 10 FRPs in upcoming drafts (including this year).

Not that particular one, no.

The shot looked halfway down to me but my vision isn’t my strength

 

[keko jones]

I can’t wait to see the Celtics fans turn on Zinger tho.

Because they will.

Wait what?

No chance in hell they turn on the white guy!

I’ve always wondered if there are ways for coaches and refs to get better in the offseason? Players can work on their games, hire strength trainers, heal up and increase their conditioning but how do coaches and refs get better in the offseason? Is a guy like Mazulla spending days and nights reviewing game tape or working with other coaches to improve his game? Is a vet ref like Scott Foster hosting ref camps in the offseason? These are things that I’ve always wondered.

Trump is watching tape of the last four years to lead us in 2024 so I imagine coaches do the same

Is he actually a better defender than Dillon?

Remains to be seen in Memphis. I would like to see him with Jaren, like we've seen Dillon. Smart will be able to stay on the floor by not picking up 5-6 fouls and having a DPOY anchoring him, which I think will make Smart even better defensively here than in Boston.

Part of my frustration with Dillon was not being able to rely on him to stay on the floor in key moments by picking up silly fouls. A lot of it may be reputation.

Then, there's this:

FGA per 100 possessions last 3 seasons:
Brooks - 24.8 attempts
Smart - 15.4 attempts

I want whoever is playing the hustle/defensive dawg role to not take more shots than my big 3 and this happened far too often with DB who just wasn't worthy of that.

Windy said so, so it has to be true and will happen.

Ian Begley is another guy who you should almost never trust. I hope he’s right though.

 

[storm2006]

Whoa...


$30MM annually sounds about right but is that 5th year is too much?
