The Official NBA Season Thread: Free Agency Day

[elpablo21]

so... who wins the bracket? lol

Our dear President of the Washed Club or The biggest hater of the NBA

I wonder what Dallas is going to do. They’re pretty much all-in with this roster.

This is the roster they’ve pretty much chosen for the next couple years. They really can’t make many more moves. Not much flexibility there.


Plus. If Denver had beaten the Wolves like they were supposed to. No way Dallas would have beaten Denver. Nuggets just ran into a matchup nightmare with the Wolves.

They proved last year that they can improve within the margins and that's really what they need to do.

• Lively is a rookie and will improve next year
• Kidd didn't seem like he was ready for this stage and (hopefully) he will learn from this experience
• THJ is an expiring contract next year and can be moved (especially if he plays better up until the trade deadline)
• Maxi Kelber needs to get healthy
• Exum is an expiring
• DJJ is a free agent which sucks
• They own their 2025 and 2026 draft picks

All of that are opportunities to improve within the margins...with that said, it will still fall under Luka to stop his whining and not become an incredible defensive liability.

703 hwy being banned from the thread but still winning the bracket would be hilarious

He can't even take a hateful victory lap

Its is like when a candidate wins an election, but they died a couple months earlier

This is the issue I was bringing up that made Vincent Van Goat so upset. They could have kept Brunson for half the price and still had their draft pick. But they chose this route and they’re stuck with it.

To put it in other words

Eye actually was never upset at that line of thinking. N41D got upset with me for saying the same thing

Apparently he was never going to sign that supposed cheaper deal

Eye am simply saying they got further with Irving than Brunson and the pivot absolved them of the initial mistake

Giving up that draft pick isn’t really that painful, nor anywhere near how you’re trying to compare the gobert deal to

Look you two are always trolling each other so I don’t know what’s what.

But yes of course Jalen for half the price and building thru that team was the way better option. They could have been an extremely deep and better team by now..

But that’s over with.

What do the Mavs do now? Can they even do anything.

Again- eye was told brunson was never going to sign that supposed deal

You and N41D gotta hash out just how much trouble this roster is or isn’t in

 

[addict4sneakers]

Brogdon would help out a lot but that would take Luka dedicating himself to playing better defense.

EYE see everyone decided IT was "**** Clothes!" Thursday today.

I don’t want to harp on the past because my question is about the future - but Brunson said he was cool with signing the deal.

He literally said it. But let’s not go there right now.

Been calling for him to come out for a min, but his body seems fragile

 

[cs02132]

Damn had no idea they were doing this. Sold out for Friday or I’d be there

Yea this isn’t looking too bright.

I mean, that’s what I said but his pops and him apparently had a plan… I don’t care bout it either tho like I said before- Jalen gets his shine outside of Luka’s shadow.. gets a brinks on top of it

Mavs pivoted and got lucky to get the non toxic Irving… and actually made the finals

Everyone won. Eye don’t think the Mavs roster is in some kind of imminent trouble, they just need to get through to Luka

 

[RustyShackleford]

Famb, that **** was over two years ago

Book actually has won in the finals

Has has your son Luka?

It’s the NBA, of course they can do something. Hell, there’s still a good chance they come back and win game 7.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Harden has won a Finals game

Famb, that **** was over two years ago

Within an hour of each other. You can’t make dis up

 

[RustyShackleford]

Love seeing addict4sneakers still riding for his alabaster son

But when the Celtics finish the Mavs off, best believe he gonna be looking at Luka like...

 

[addict4sneakers]

Book actually has one in the finals

Has has your son Luka?

Oh you want something more current?

1 playoff win between 2 teams and 3 top 75 players. I CAN DIVIDE

Bro not the shade of white paint color. I only discovered this existed last night thanks to #realtormeetings

You can definitely tell. This is what I said during the first round. Whole arena full of tension

Sixers always play with a weird anxiety come playoff time. Think the crowd plays a part in it honestly
