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

[Kinfolk]

Nets need to just go all the way in and grab Miles Bridges

Why?



lynchpin33 you're not looking at the bigger picture. More money on the table very soon. Players not getting their slice is a complete non-starter in new CBA talks

The NBA is preparing to sell a package of streaming-only games under its next media rights package with the bidding to likely start at $1 billion per year.

The package is expected to attract the major streaming companies including Amazon and Apple.

Under the current deal signed in 2014, streaming comes under the league’s own media platforms, ESPN, TNT, and the various regional sports networks (RSNs) showing local games.

One source says Amazon would like an NBA package along with the NFL.

“Amazon is locked and loaded for a shot at the NBA,” said a source.

The NBA could sell a streaming package of 20-40 games during its 19-week regular season.

The NBA is set to come off its nine-year, $24 billion deal with Disney and Turner that pays $2.6 billion per year. With an additional $1 billion in streaming, the league could get close to $7 billion per year in annual rights fees.

Next on the clock is Marks.

If it weren't for Pelinka, Marks would easily win worst exec of the year award for trotting out that unbalanced roster.

Zero bigs.

Zero playmaking pgs.

Zero continuity with the constant coaching staff turnover.

Bigs: Claxton, sharp, simmonz

Playmaking : Simmons, kyrie

They got a good squad. Bad leadership

They need a good rebounding playmaking leader:

Russell Beastbrook

Malika deserves all the slander

Wish her and Jordan Poole would go away.

 

[getback]

Why?

Not seriously. It was a joke. Because they seem to be collecting all the questionable personalities.

What culture?

The Chelsea Boot Clan

She probably doesn't care that much. She just had an opinion some dudes didn't like, and they got hyper-sensitive about it

Ime after signing that Nets contract

Playmaking : Simmons, kyrie

Russell Beastbrook

@ Russ. You stay trying to pawn him off.

CLax, Dayron, and Ben can't hold Joker Embiid Adams Jonas Drummond Vooch Brook/Giannis Nurk etc.

Also, Simmons doesn't playmake. He crosses the halfcourt line and hands it off immediately.

Nets let culture go with Caris Prince Fro etc.

Then further hurt the team by not bringing back key defensive role players like Uncle Jeff, Bruce Brown, and Blake (who was 2nd in the L last year with charges taken despite not playing heavy mins). Blake is done but they needed to replace his hustle/energy and they haven't.

Ime makes the Nets magically competent now.

That fan will turn on Ime sooner than most

Losing your job because of Ben Simmons is crazy. Wish it had happened to Glen.

I'm sure the Nets season will go swimmingly from this point forward
All problems have been solved by replacing Nash with Udoka

 

[osh kosh bosh]

guess not

A few teams may be off to slow starts, but the NBA as a whole is already in midsession form, at least as to shenanigans.
