The Official NBA Season Thread: Season Starts Now

What is Utah's direction? Build around Markkanen?

They have some pieces to compete every night but probably not good enough to win a playoff series. Not bad enough to bottom out. Not a free agent destination.

Markkanen, Kessler and Agbaji are the core.

Question, where do these potential trade news come from? GM offices just leaking info? Reporters get to tap into calls?

Depends on the reporter, but agents and front office.

Lakers don't deserve Russ

 

[addict4sneakers]

Twolves traded everything for Gobert to be their 3rd best center and now a 26 year old for a 36 year old.

Start the lockout

Utah eh? Thinking Russ goes back to the Wizards after a buyout by the Jazz.

My AP computer science kids have been learning to interpret and analyze data to draw conclusions. SO today we decided to answer the following questions with a dataset of NBA players.

1. NBA ALL TIME LEADING SCORER
2. FILTER THE DATASET FOR THE ONLY PLAYER WHO IS TOP 5 IN ASSISTS AND POINTS
3. WHAT PLAYER HAS 30K POINTS, 10K REBOUND, 10K ASSISTS.

And after finding the answer to those questions they had to create a chart showing their findings and write a 2 paragraph paper on who's the best basketball player of all time.

I had a great day.

Lakers don't deserve Russ

the only team that deserves russ is the phoenix suns

 

[wavycrocket]

A problem. My thunder

 

[tramericanjr]

Imagine if one by one the lakers get back all their players they let go to get bron and ad

 

[Coupé It]

Surely the Wolves can get more than that for D Lo.

The more times someone tells you they swear and promise they'll do whatever they say they're gonna do, the less and less chance of it actually happening

Would be poetic if the Wolves end up missing the playoffs now because they can’t find scoring during a game outside of Ant.

EXACTLY. No timetable on towns knees and they trade a guy fresh off playing 3 months of really good basketball. What playoff mandate? Can’t say you’re tanking for wemby cause when do they own a pick?

Williams is nice. So good that I think their future is really bright even if Chet is just solid and not star material.

Jesus Christ.

hes an expiring contract.

2024.

I will make the argument the Gobert trade wasn’t as bad as it’s being pummeled as, part of it is they paid the price for not wanting to part with McDaniels which was the right thing.

But when you put the Gobert trade with the DLo trade. Jesus Christ what a bad deal

 

[Coupé It]

hes an expiring contract.

Yea I know.

They can still get more.
