The Official NBA Season Thread: Season Starts Now

WASHED KING

 

[atlsfinest]

Objectively, the Dallas package is more appealing than what the Lakers had to offer. All we had to offer was a player that Brooklyn clearly didn't want and picks. Now at least Brooklyn is getting some decent players back and an unprotected first round pick. Going to be interesting to see how the remainder of the season goes in Dallas and if the Mavericks are willing to give Kyrie a big contract in the offseason.

Even as a Lakers fan, I wasn't all-in on Kyrie Irving. He's blown up every situation he's been in (Cleveland, Boston and Brooklyn). It's only a matter of time before he destroys Dallas.

I hope the Mavs have something else up their sleeves

Dallas wasn't ever gonna realistically get their hands on a better TALENT. Get the extension signed, get him on the court and figure it out.

And the price was gonna be higher for probably anyone else they'd go get this summer.

Convey the pick to the Knicks in July, still have two first rounders and the two bad money deals a year closer to expiration to make another move. Lots of shuffling inbound, I'm sure.

Mavs ****** up by not resigning Brunson

 

[noblekane]

now how much does kd make this year?

 

[651akathepaul]

Wolves went from -2.5 last night to -7.5 vs. Denver. Someone's sitting out.

Edit: Jokic sitting...kinda wanted him in there, but I'll take it.

This isn’t gonna end well in Dallas. Team is super thin IMO

How so?

Just have to reallocate DFS minutes to Green and whoever else.

Probably have another move to make, Maxi will be back before the playoffs.

What are they doing with Wood?

He’s still there but their depth at the 2-3 have been compromised with Luka hurt atm too. Could see them falling to the play in

 

[T0INE]

That happened with the quickness.

Nets were serious about not taking on Russ and wanting players to help them win now.

Myrie and Luka gonna be an interesting duo.

Will Cuban give Kyrie the max this offseason though?

Find out.....NEXT TIME ON DRAGONBALL Z!

 

[toneboi76]

KD trade request soon come

 

[DLF]

keeping Reeves and Christie is what stopped them from completing the trade with Russ what are you talking about?!? The Lakers goofed that what was holding them back giving them up?!?

Lol

Didn’t know you were in the war room.



Nets got 2 starters.

If Lakers were offering 47 year old garbage and a rookie and a pick, you think they woulda taken that over 2 legit starters and a pick? Lol

 

[sole searchin]

KD trade request soon come

Already happened

 

[lovehateself]

So is it still Cam Thomas time in BK ?

 

[antidope]

“I’m never gonna leave my man 7 behind” a guy who left 7 behind

 

[reconic supreme]

Nets are fools if they took that in hopes to be competitive, it’s not a matter of if but when KD asks out now.

 

[toneboi76]

How so?

Just have to reallocate DFS minutes to Green and whoever else.

Probably have another move to make, Maxi will be back before the playoffs.

Kyrie is unreliable and makes their defense worse. Plus Bullock (eww) has a bigger role and their team is soft and small inside IMO. Still gonna be Luka ball or bust. Will him and Kyrie even mesh? Two strong personalities and Luka doesn’t like to run

 

[elpablo21]

Kyrie can basically pick his location. Nets can't just ship him anywhere.

Why in the world would Kyrie want to play with ball hog Luka? Kyrie not standing around for that.

Luka can't co exist with another player who has to have the ball in his hands.

 

[Public Enemy]

Did anybody update that grim reaper jpg yet

 

[N41D]

This isn’t gonna end well in Dallas. Team is super thin IMO

You think this is a move for the next 4 months?

Would guess he gets his money and they have plenty more shuffling over the next 12-18 months.

 

[rolaholic]

KD trade request soon come

He already wanted out before,if I'm him I'm pressing them hard to spend the next 4 days finding a deal before the deadline cause I'm not sticking around to waste a late prime year for another 1st/2nd round exit

 

[T0INE]

Also gonna need a 30/30 on the whole Nets debacle.

From PHA to Myrie to Steve Nash to Harden and all the ******* in between.

Was basically a season of Power.

 

[ill steelo]

Very curious how Kyrie and Luka play together. Odd fit.

He’s played with Bron & Harden. Luka has played with Brunson.

This duo will be entertaining if nothing else
