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

[Mister Meaner]

Pels are again the favorites to win it all if healthy. No longer dark horses in the game.

Think I’m a legit fan of the Pels outside of ZW himself. Good drafting, good coaching etc etc they are srs. Great city too.

For his own good tho, Zhanos needs a change of scenery.

Don’t see the issue with asking harden to be your 3rd best player. Like CP3 he can help you get through the regular season

In a contract year?

clips gonna miss batum, but at least they didn't have to give up mann
harden time to shed the fatsuit
i think he still good enough. can win you a gm or two in the playoffs, but ultimately up to kawhi and pg to deliver them in the series

Joel probably scuffed PJ's 18 year old Jordans.

Doesn’t this being a contract year give him incentive to play better from a fit perspective, given this is probably the only team that is going to be able to give him said contract he wants?

If it was in those Skechers monstrosities, Im swinging too.

4ppg average dudes still demanding trades. What a time to be alive

trying to live in LA

Masai skips the part of negotiations where you’re supposed to meet in the middle so I think he will waste another year of everyone’s time again.

Tobias Harris is unreliable so they need a really good 3rd scorer & Lavine offers the most out of this group.

I was a Wilson Jet Evolution guy myself, I liked the oversized, rounded channels

I did not like the feel of Evo when I was younger. Actually preferred the Solution over it.

Wilson was smart though.

While Spalding was trying to create more and more expensive balls for people to buy, Wilson focused on getting the Evo in Walmarts and Targets at affordable prices.

Got it into more people's hands, got people used to the feel.

Last time I went to hoop (which was a while ago), like 90 percent of the gym had Evos.

Spalding goofed big time

Pascal and OG can/will be free agents in the summer. So Morey can basically say we are going to offer the max to one of them in free agency, so minus whale get something in return now.

But of course, Masai has been letting dudes walk in free agency for nothing the last few years.

I think LaVine will be more of a summer trade than mid-season.

 

[you go boy]

Another Russ & Harden go around

same with harden & PJ lol

Just listened to that Law guy on Sam Vecenie’s pod. Lot of good points made. Ultimately a good trade for both teams. Clippers raise their ceiling and Philly sets themselves up for another move since they couldn’t directly trade Jimbo for a star.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

OG is what they need more than lavine

Free him, Masai

 

[QU!K]

How come nobody talks about Cam Thomas?

Cam Thomas is better than Jordan Poole.

glad to see you take the time to listen to all the details before saying

its a lose-lose situation

it was the best thing for both teams literally.. no fleecing or anything just something that HAD to get done

@HOU$TON - correct me if if wrong, but didn’t Jim and Russ play well together on the Rockets in 2020?

I know things went bad for them in the bubble playoffs v. the Lakers, but things might be a little different when they have Kawhi and PG playing with them.

Man they had Russ being the roll man in Houston. Lol.
