The Official NBA Season Thread: Season Starts Now

[pdino]

I think Wizards just want off that Beal contract. He's a top 5 paid player in entire NBA with contract increasing every year, will be on the wrong side of 30 next year, and contract goes to 2027.
Miami - Could trade any combination of Lowry (expiring), Duncan Robinson, Herro (pick any 2/3). Oladipo an expiring as well. If I'm Miami I'm tryna trade Lowry/Duncan Robinson.
Knicks- They have several mid-tier contracts: Fournier, D. Rose(expiring), J. Hart(expiring if opts in). Can do RJ OR Randle and pick 1-2 mid-tier to make the numbers work or even all 3 mid-tiers if Washington just wants off of Beal
Lakers- They'd have to sign + trade some of their guys to make it work: Can pickup team option for Beasley for 16.5mil (then he's expiring), Bamba (expiring) but need to re-sign either DLo, Rui with intent on trading them to make it work. Vando also has expiring at 5mil/year that Washington might want

They might be 5s to you! But to Big Zion they might be dimes. Let that man cook.

Why y’all pressed about the “quality” of his work? He’s clearly happy with his garden tools!

 

[Mister Meaner]

ZW to Charlotte makes sense as the splash MJ leaves on his way out. He gets to wash his hands sort of but it works for him either way.

Especially if Zion can get on the court to wear his shoes.

Beal to Miami methinks.

It might just not be the Warriors fanbase that hated Mike Dunleavey Jr.


What is the backstory on this one

Dunleavy caught him in the face and shoved him to the ground on the play before. Payback was imminent

Shannon Sharpe reminds me of Dee Jay from Street Fighter.

Give me Ja for comeback player of the year

MJ shouldve traded for Zion before agreeing to the sale
wouldnt have the team evaluation increased

Not sure you can do better than 3 billion for one of the worst franchises in the league

MJ is a billionaire.

I get the numbers but **** he care about those relative pennies added to books.

Already made out like a bandit iirc.

I think the toy gun defense was about THEE dumbest idea. What grown man plays with toy guns

 

[toneboi76]

That really did make me think would he have even made it to the league if he got diagnosed when he was younger due to how people view and stigmatize autism and maybe would have restricted his growth overall.

Good for him though and the relief it gave him

Did she say NBA legend?!?!?

Appeal on da way

 

[Mister Meaner]

Happy the decision has been dealt. Fair/unfair, he’s gotta sit at home while his team stays afloat. He’s hurt them the most here.

The necessary parties inserted the necessary statements. Actions gotta speak now.

I’m not believing a word Ja says til he stops putting those cuts in his eyebrows tho.

NBPA should just sit down with this one.

if you want Ja to be suspended for more games you're either the cops or have a rooting interest against the Grizzlies

David Stern's NBA wasn't bout it like that

 

[los2187]

So about Zion and potential trades, seems like there a quite a few Blazer fans I know that want to deal our pick and someone for him. I just don’t see it making sense. Dude can’t keep healthy and can’t keep food out of his mouth and doesn’t seem to actually really want to play. Am I wrong for that view on thinking he just isn’t worth it from how his career has gone up to this point?

If the deal is available Blazers should do it IMO. Lillard/Zion would be close to unstoppable.

He’s still only 22 and would be the future of the team along with Sharpe.

The NBPA have to do this. Even if they know it’s going to fail.

Have to protect your players.
