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

No way he had Harden to the Lakers.

You were better off just saying you don’t actually watch basketball

Somebody gotta banish him back to the NFL threads

I liked Corey Joseph as a cheap backup for the Lakers. Should see plenty of time with Steph and CP needing nights off and being injury prone.

Making Kendrick Perkins an analyst on ESPN is the equivalent of making the bus boy at a 5 star restaurant a judge on Chopped

what? the ellen that looks like a 60 year old justin beiber? that ellen?

Bruh it can be 80 year old Ellen. Like I said box is box, somebody gotta do it. Plus I smashed grandmothers before, Look I’m a team player. I’m your perfect wingman taking one for the team. Gotta be a women though.

Poole was defensively challenged last year and was a key part of the 2022 title run. Herro’s offense would have been valuable for Miami in the Finals when the Undrafteds went cold. No expectations for Simons so I can’t say what his true value is. Maxey was big in the Sixers taking a 3-2 lead over the Celtics and he wasn’t eem fully unleashed.

They have value but they just need to be in the right situation. Until the market changes, starting caliber 20PPG combo guards are still going to make north of $20-25MM.

Damn Lonnie may need to drop Klutch that’s crazy

crazy how klutch gets praised for those contracts but crickets for that lmao

Absolutely wild that Klutch can’t have GMs erase their memory of Lonnie being DNP-CD like 40% of the season and forcing teams to create cap space out of thin air

^^^ I haven’t researched it; but I would imagine that most big talent agencies take some Ls along with the Ws. Kind of the nature of the game if you have a roster of clients with a range of talent levels.

Poole was valuable for Golden state but his minutes were still cut when it really mattered in the finals. I agree though great situation for him at the time. Herro is pretty much always terrible in the playoffs. Maxey had some good games but when he isn’t scoring he’s utterly useless.

Correct on the money. Getting value in a trade is the challenge if you decide to move.

Maxey might have a little more juice though. He might become like the elite example of this type of player. I'll probably feel differently after this next year though and realize he's basically in the same bucket as the other listed players.

Is There Any Market For John Wall?

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Poole fans gonna milk that title run more than the 08 Celtics

Probably need a bigger sample size but I wonder if these types of players are like running backs in the NFL where they are most valuable to teams on their rookie deals. They are good as supplementary pieces when they aren’t paid a ton and you have a built out roster but things become challenging when they are taking up a decent portion of your cap.

Simons is one year into his extension and Herro/Poole’s didn’t even start yet and we are already talk in nt about how they aren’t valuable
