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

[addict4sneakers]

I've defended him (no pun intended).

He's also like bottom three least efficient offensive player give hsi usage.

Makes you wonder what he would have got had he not been so bad on offense

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I agree to a certain extent but...wasn't that the primary point of hiring a high profile coach like Ime Udoka? To get these kids playing the right way?

They had to spend the money though. That's is understood. 55 L's still on the table.

i need to punch Rafael stone in face bruh.

I hope i’m wrong but Fvv and Dillon is terrible

Which players yall want to sign breh

Or y'all wanted to just not spend money on anyone

 

[DLF]

Fvv/KPJ/Mills
Green/Amen
Brooks/Eason/Whitmore
Smith/Tate
Sengun/Landale

[amitt5504]

If Brooks gets 4/80. Maltese gets 4/45?

[reconic supreme]

rockets operating like the 2016 Lakers

 

[keko jones]

Holy overpay. Who were the Rockets competing against?

Themselves ....

Kind of like when the Knicks paid THJr (the 2nd time).

 

[bhzmafia14]

$20m per

If he can at least be decent on offense, may be worth it with his defensive ability. Last season was his worst offensive season ever, so I get it. 4 years is a long time, though.

This is why it sucks being a cap space team now

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

If Brooks is a starter at the end of the season something went wrong

 

[danger style]

The vet Jalen needed after that video came out

 

[rbk93]

FVV
Green
Brooks
Smith
Sengun

Should be interesting

Looks solid on paper at least.

4 YEARS !?!?

Did you really believe those two year deals to begin with?

 

[Benny Hinn]

Any other time, it would be “the Bill Simmons Podcast is a joke and the last place to get reputable news” until it’s time to dunk on the Warriors

I don't care who they sign lol. They can do whatever they want.

I was just pointing out that they shouldn't be directionless if Ime Udoka is as good of a coach as advertised.

 

[HOU$TON]

FVV
Green
Brooks
Smith
Sengun

Should be interesting

If Ime is honest about making players earn their minutes then Tari should start over bari

 

[elpablo21]

landale getting $8Ms apologize to CJ

More like he should send a thank you card to Fertitta

 

[bhzmafia14]

Dillon got $24m less than JJJ

 

[frshstunna]

Let’s just get everybody on the trading block moved at once, with picks added of course

 

[DLF]

Green is the wild card.


If he takes a step they will be very good.

If he is lottery jordan pool…he will be shipped.

KPJ needs to go. He’s a nutcase. Didn’t he get suspended by team bc he went nuts in locker room. Seems unstable.

 

[storm2006]

Klay was unplayable too,w/ a trash attitude,y’all was just in denial my boy…

Poole was the fifth best Laker in the Lakers-Warriors series. Klay happened to be the sixth best.

I’m saying, man king j I am by no means defending Klay’s play. He was horrible. I watched him go for 3-19 in that last game against the Lakers. And it is part of the reason why he might be a Warrior in 2024-2025 if he doesn’t prove himself this season and/or humble himself with a significantly smaller contract.

It has also become evident that the Poole stuff is deeper than what has been revealed in the media so I can’t really comment on it without hearing anything straight from the horse’s mouth.

I will be sure to ask Poole at Rose Bar or a season ticket holders player meet and greet.

Portland doesn’t want Herro lol other than that it works

This officially means the Lakers are in the #NOEXCUSES territory

They been no excuses the day Bron signed his life away

 

[BennyIll22]

This is why it sucks being a cap space team now

They could have at least used some of it taking back contracts for future draft assets to open up more future flexibility like many others are doing. They didn't have to spend every last dime in free agency.
