The Official NBA Season Thread: Mikal Bridges traded to the Knicks

[IATT]

And NBA media has collectively done a **** job getting people interested in the next generation of all-stars.

Wemby might be special enough that he can overcome that and get casuals interested.

Obviously the skip and SAS pulling a ‘crossfire’ with sports in general hasn’t been great for the actual sports

But while the nba has no choice but to empower the players.. the actions of players have to be factored in to how the wheels got rolling and the current state

League was always about stars, but even going into the 00s the stars were synonymous with teams

But I’d argue the actions of some the biggest names had just as much of a negative impact as the media (Lebron and then KD especially)

Because of course Lebron loves the focus he’s still receiving in the middle of the playoffs when his team hasn’t played for weeks.. especially when one of the league marquee franchises is about to win a title

If the Celtics of all teams ain’t a big enough brand to pull viewers, league needs to figure shh out quick

This is a players league, not a teams league. Especially with the player empowerment era. The league is doing fine. They just tripled the media rights deal

Player contracts are shorter than they were 20 years ago, so naturally players are going to move more frequently.

Don't think I'v seen Arenas kid play before

He’s nice. This is gonna be a super hard 12 man roster to make. The 2025 and 2026 recruiting classes are stacked with future NBA talent.

I know, I said it multiple times

But as I said above in what you quoted, at least those stars previously were associated with teams

Even with the shoes, we all knew the deal.. Jordan’s would get bulls colorways

Most likeable Celtic, took his fair share of lumps over the years and just got better.

Now he's got the biggest bag in history so far and a chip

 

[SORIANOTRON]

So damn corny

Sounds like he's definitely getting drafted one way or another

 

[pmatic]

Bron been off that idea since 2023 publicly, but we'll see.

 

[RustyShackleford]

If Suns draft Bronny, Book should just ask for that trade

Being reckless is one thing, can't waste your prime if they want to be unserious

Whispers are that he’s been privately pushing for it but you never know with him

 

[lawdog1]

I’m starting to sense maybe he doesn’t like the Harden system.

Pretty interesting for him to focus on the start of last season, when the team had easily the longest sustained run of high-level basketball during PG’s time in LA after the Harden trade.

He can go.

Wait until you find out all those numbers he posted aren't an "opinion."

Soooo....numbers lie now?

Facts is facts my man. Read em' and weep.

Some folks will take it to ANY length to discredit and/or hate on anything Boston.
