The Official NBA Season Thread: I’m like Jayson Tatum in the Olympics I'm not playing

Who says no? I’m actually looking for some extra draft compensation from the Wiz w/ this scenario. They could easily watch KP go for nothing; just the same as Dallas did with Brunson.

Portland gotta do something for Dame. Find a defensive anchor type for the 4 spot and go back to the playoffs. That’s a dynamic backcourt for Portland to get behind. Dame, Beal & Nurk their big 3? Could do worse.

Wiz the definition of middling. Cut the ties to these vets getting them nowhere but capped out and do a real makeover. The trade essentially gives them a new starting rotation sans a center.

Portland says no. They trade away all their young talent (sharpe, A. Simons) as well as Grant (2 starters) for Beal who’s under max contract until 2026-2027.

young bull starting to put it together

I am happy to see him flourish but due to his success on a new team you already know what time THEY are going to be on with it

The following pages:

Finally out of that toxic environment and is doing well.

Happy for him

He's quietly putting it together in a no pressure environment. Love to see it.

They didn’t let the youngin grow and got rid of him. Toxic!!

You know it.

Well Grant is an UFA this summer. They could lose him for nothing.

You gotta give to get, so Grant aside, is it really an overpay seeing Simons exchanged for Beal? Sharpe is nowhere ready to contribute to winning.

Again, Pdx owes it to Dame to try and put together a team ready to compete for the playoffs. Evan is no scrub neither despite the fact he’s been DPCDed for a while now.

Idk, Portland might be better off entertaining this rather than wave goodbye to Jerami for nothing in return. Simons and Sharpe aren’t ready.

NY is a destination spot for many FAs right about now. Portland don’t stand a chance at getting help in that arena. Their hands seemingly tied unless they surprisingly decide to deal Dame to the highest bidder and begin a real rebuild.

Nasty people

Real nasty

 

[king j]

@HOU$TON 's swings on his guys are an emotional rollercoaster

He want that old thang back

 

[Platinum State]

Yall cant be serious about this Wiseman praise. Literal definition of good stats-bad team.
14 games with Detroit and you wanna know the record? 1-13
He can be a 20-10 guy thats not the problem. Everything else is

The white privilege whistle

AR getting more 1st place MVP votes then Embiid.

[dacomeup]

It’s actually close. IMO a Finals W+FMVP this year would put him over KG idcidcidc

That’s definitely the reason he’s hating too

 

[storm2006]

Imagine saying “Portland owes it to Dame to try and put together a team ready to compete for the playoffs” then suggesting giving up Simons, Sharpe in exchange for Bradley Beal’s albatross of a contract through 2027 is the answer.

 

[Coupé It]

Yikes

 

[Mister Meaner]

Because they’re [the Blazers] doing a bang up job right now with their current cast of characters, including those two youts, getting into the playoffs.

Beal’s albatross contract gonna be bad for whomever dude plays for; not saying anything new, groundbreaking or even ‘ahah!’-worthy.

Doesn’t make sense for the Wiz to keep him neither so methinks he finds a new home sooner rather than later.

storm2006 @ me next time you feeling bold.

 

[smedroc]

Why would you get another small guard to pair with Dame?

Even if you think Beal is on a slightly higher tier, we have already seen that movie with CJ.
