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

What star player does a RJ centered package net you?

A star who isn’t really a star . He’s already about to play on the big money extension too.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Dallas coaches were specifically talking about how Kyrie was willing to play off ball, set screens, get teammates involved etc. He's probably a better team player than Luka at this point. Hella small sample but I think there's some merit to how they look when he's there without Luka

 

[dacomeup]

I’m really curious to see people say that the Clippers should/have to run it back. Why?

What star player does a RJ centered package net you?

Almost got us Donovan

Teams will bite on a 22 year old averaging 20ppg, with fillers and a handful of picks.

 

[sohi 23]

Maybe Kyrie has crossed over into the category of players who score a lot of points and look good but don't actually impact winning.

Breaking news

Like I’m thinking maybe CJ if the Pels wanna run an all Duke lineup but CJ and Brunson kinda redundant

 

[WASHED KING]

Clippers failure checked off, Mavs failure checked off, just need GS and my season is complete.

Another small-ish guard really ain’t it

F The Clippers
F The Celtics
F The Suns

 

[HOU$TON]

I got KPJ + the Brooklyn picks for Trae young. Best I can do.

Yea now that I’m thinking about it, not many young elite wings that’s available

Again - it's painfully obvious if you watch games what the problems are.

Kyrie's not perfect. Nobody's saying he is.

But if you're watching what happened in Dallas and thinking "well he's damn sure not helping" ... you're brain dead. Just is what it is.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Yea, when Kawhi was young and wasn’t the guy yet.

The tweet was about KD's numbers against him. You know damn well any version of Kawhi wasn't going to prevent KD from doing that

 

[ballinsam23]

PG will be 33. How many good years of PG are you getting? 2 years of 65 games?

 

[WASHED KING]

I need more laughs.

You’re leaving out key info. They wanted MULTIPLE young guys, Barrett’s extension hadn’t kicked in AND they wanted more than just a handful of picks.

(Smart) Teams aren’t going to bite on RJ Barrett being the guy for a rebuild where they’re giving up an elite guy. Unless you’re giving up as many picks and swaps as you can possibly do.

We doing the brackets this year b???

Which I think the Knicks will do. Outside of IQ. No point of hoarding these picks when Brunson and Randle are win now players.

 

[ill steelo]

Should be a fascinating top end talent vs depth series between the Suns and Clippers.

There's a world where Kawhi is the best player in the series. But just a matter of the other guys making up for PG's absence.

Deep teams typically don’t play a guy 24 straight minutes in a regular season game.

I’m far from impressed with Phoenix but the Clippers do not have enough here. With PG out you obviously need both EJ & Norm to step up and I don’t see them doing that 4 times. That’s without even getting to Russ & possibly (likely ) extended minutes

 

[WASHED KING]

Fixed it for you. It's amazing the number of careers LeBron James has propped up. For a lot of players and even coaches their entire resume is built on their time with LeBron.

Absolutely amazing.

Kyrie gives credit to Kobe when it really has been Bron this whole time who helped him get put on this pedestal. Nasty work.

 

[dacomeup]

Nah, I know he’s not stopping him from getting his at all. Nobody is. But it seems like it’s painting a narrative that Kawhi is guarding him and getting lit up too. I’m sure we have better data than averages against the team to show us that.

What star player does a RJ centered package net you?

Probably someone on an expiring.

 

[storm2006]

RJ the odd man out right now, especially if he stinks it up in the playoffs. Knicks will try to package him with picks for another all star caliber player.

I got KPJ + the Brooklyn picks for Trae young. Best I can do.

I need more laughs.

Damn, the regular season just ended less than 24 hours ago and y'all already fired up the trade machine

 

[lovehateself]
