The Official NBA Season Thread: Player Option Day

[OrangeBlueGarden]

He should be. But he isn’t. Can’t stay healthy. Can’t get to the conference finals. Comes up small when you need him. Same thing every year.

You’re right but let’s say Embiid can stay healthy a little longer and 76ers add another player make a big 3 in Philly I would want to see him in the conference finals .. anything can happen they could blow this open (pause) just by drafting someone

 

[tay1]

They gotta blow it up I’ve been saying it for a couple years

At this point, whatever they expected to get for Lavine has to be even lower now.

 

[arstyle27]

I'm sorry there were no picks involved? Josh Giddey for a player that every team would want? The Chicago Bulls man..... 6 fluky championships and ineptitude every time period outside of that

Fluky championships????? Ain't nothing fluky about that dynasty.

. 6 fluky championships

OKC need a sniper and a serviceable big body and I'll feel confident in them going to the finals next season.

They'd be a great spot for Edey to land

 

[rolaholic]

They’re definitely the ones going for OG if this is true. Or a grandfather offer for Bridges.

League better not let OKC get OG man

 

[aepps20]

I hope JJ takes care of Tommy and the staff at The Old man and the Three.

Fluky championships????? Ain't nothing fluky about that dynasty.

Two separate 3 peats is fluky, but never winning b2b isn't? Brazy world we live in.

Silver gifting them Wemby and antidope wylin.

Draft the 1st/2nd best player ever is not a repeatable process and is very much a fluke.

Them being rudder less since is further proof

 

[datznasty]

i’ll take Caruso. Makes an already small, poor rebounding team smaller and even when the rest of his game wasnt there he is a good drb %. but since it was a straight up trade we still got 32m or something from Hayward’s deal to mess with

 

[elpablo21]

Can only corroborate 96' was Fluky

Very interested to hear what these “good trade offers” were for Caruso. He only makes $9M so it’s not like you’re trading somebody making good money for him.

 

[ALNotSure]

Lowkey would trust Rondo's basketball IQ more than JJ's

Don't know if he's got the temperment/personality for coaching but he's definitely got the x's and o's know-how for it.

Could be one to watch though since he's said he's interested in coaching

Rondo throwing hands against his players in a suit for leaving 5 seconds on the shot clock is what the game needs

Rondo one last spit on Chris Paul…

on the entertainment

 

[Platinum State]

Dude might make Wemby look like a kid if he ever makes the L

 

[ALNotSure]

Perk is somehow worse than Draymond.. commentary down so bad….

Last deadline:

How will the Chicago Bulls manage Alex Caruso's future?

The Chicago Bulls have already missed their chance to sell high on Alex Caruso. What will they do with him entering the final year of his contract?

However, the source indicated that there was a mandate from the Reinsdorfs to fight for the Playoffs. That, no doubt, impacted the front office’s decision making when it came to pulling the trigger on any Caruso deal.

True. What would you characterize getting D. Rob, Duncan, and Wemby as?

Bulls are idiots for trying to be in purgatory.

Silver gotta investigate if the anyone in the Bulls front office bet the under for their win total next season

This makes no damn sense

They didn't even demand some 2nd rounders

 

[ballinsam23]

Are we sure they're even in?

They may want an inside big to give a different look, especially in the playoffs, but to spend $20M+/year on one? I can't see it.

Last rumor I read before this trade

“I reported about OKC’s interest, and I heard something similar to what you said about a short-term deal. There’s speculation OKC would offer him something in the realm of two years, $50 million with an opt-out in the second year, which is something like Bruce Brown got,” Bondy said.
