The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

[finallyfamous]

Bulls and Cavs only two teams in league not to make a deal.

 

[pdino]

Cavs shoulda picked up one of those 3 and D wings from Brooklyn: DFS or Royce O Neal. Could've upgraded from Isaac okoro

Apparently they looked at Harris and Royce. Clearly nothing happened.

Figure they'll be busy in the buyout market.

warriors should’ve tried to run it back and traded the rights to ty jerome to toronto for otto pippen

I’m not a Rob guy at all but he had an amazing deadline. What the **** do y’all even be talking about.

Amazing isn’t really where I’d land but anyone complaining about it just is looking for reasons to complain.

Did enough go maybe duck the play-in.

In a vacuum and on paper, sure. But this has been said before with Rob. Also, they’re going to need a ton of time to gel.

This might hurt their chances this year for even a play in.

 

[antidope]

Its mad empty in here cheap Nets tickets are byke! Love to see it

 

[Moheezy]

Apparently the east is wide open now

Not for the raptors tho.

It’s still
Celtics
Bucks

Sixers

Everyone else

 

[D StaXX]

Nets have no direction. Bulls either. Both these teams are dumb as hell.

 

[datznasty]

Bron got the record and immediately traded Russ and went on vacation

he didnt even finish that game, literally took his shoes off and watched the team lose

datznasty why didn't you tell me that your Thunder let my Suns get Bazley

Thanks famb

It's somewhere in here. it's a good get, Thunder fans hate him because he's a doofus on social media and he does this thing on offense where he drives and does a Euro step and gets blocked or badly misses but I contend no competent coach would have an "equal opportunity" offense that has him receiving dribble hand offs above the break to begin with. STash him in the dunkers spot (something he does well) or short corner or have him set picks and dive.

He is also elite defensively, across a number of positions. He can guard up or down, was as instrumental as Lu Dort in shutting down Luka earlier this season and his ability to block dunks is best in the NBA right now. He blocked Aaron Gordon (off a standstill), Kenyon Martin jr, Obi Toppin, all in the last couple months that I remember

Also, Chris Paul was his vet bubble season so he can possibly bring better out of him. Seems like he might be a weedhead or Gen Z is just like that, he's just kind of amotivational or chill almost to a fault.

But I guess just stay off his social media (especially posts about women) and you'll like him there. And if not, he's an rfa after the season just let him go;.

ALso he's Klutch but they kind of failed him, I never hear/see anything about them other than convincing him to skip school 4 yrs ago to intern at New Balance for a year but since I think they been overly focused on Ben Simmons and new client acquisitions

Bruh what??

Which player did they lose that will hurt their chances?

Russ - absolute cancer aka the energy vampire is finally gone.

Damien Jones - didn’t play and had a team option for next year that he is 10000% going to exercise.

JTA - didn’t play. Wasn’t going to get minutes over Christie who they can also barely find minutes for.

Pat Bev - I like Pat Bev but they were misusing him the entire year

T Bryant - he helped the Lakers win games while AD was out but saw his minutes diminished once he came back. He also outplayed his contract and there was no way the Lakers could keep him next year as they don’t have his bird rights.

So I ask. How did they hurt their chances??

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Lakers got worse at the deadline? Lol

 

[Air Pope]

I'm on TNT watching basketball poverty right now

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

You out here throwing a Parade because the Lakers got Mo Bamba and the Celtics didn’t?

Mo bamba?

Y'all finna see come playoff time how Mo Bamba will elevate this DEFENSE alongside AD, Bron, Vando, and Gabriel.

Save this receipt I tell ya!

 

[tupac003]

I would have pulled the trigger for four 1st rounders, like I said, a dude like Bridges will be in high demand

Nets gonna get a lot for him this summer

It's gotta be 4 different offers with a FRP.

Nobody is trading 4 1st's for Bridges....

 

[D StaXX]

Lavine
Game still poverty as hell though

 

[finessence]

Lavine

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

D'Angelo
Beasley
Bron
AD
Bamba

Schroder, Reaves, Hachimura, Vanderbilt, Gabriel, Walker, Christie, Brown, Reed

With one more buyout addition to come.

Oh yeah THE LEAGUE IN TROUBLE

 

[elpablo21]

warriors should’ve tried to run it back and traded the rights to ty jerome to toronto for otto pippen

out for the season

 

[nelson999]

wtf is Jokic doing. 3pt 4reb 4to

 

[elpablo21]

No Steph but Lakers and Dubs should be full shenanigans on Saturday anyways

 

[finessence]

Even Stan Van Gundy in denial about Ben Simmons

 

[keko jones]

Even ESPN is on the troll job. They are undoubtedly better due to some shrewd moves but do folks really believe they can make it to a Finals as a 7/8 seed (that’s where I currently peg their ceiling)?

Apparently Mo Bamba is the saviour!

I didn't know he moved the needle.

Lakers Championship or Bust!

 

[Air Pope]

Nets really gave Joe Harris the keys to the franchise
