The Official NBA Season Thread: USA Setting Up for a SFA

[Kierris]

Houston needs a good veteran to surround those kids with.

 

[Nipsey3000]

Simmons wins. Now he can sit back, stink it up and the microscope is totally off him.

He doesn't need to shoot 1 more shot in Brooklyn.

 

[Kierris]

James Harden said there was no structure so he wanted out

Kevin Durant said Marks and Nash were a problem

3 superstar caliber players asked for a trade all in one year

This has never happened before in the history of the NBA.

Doesn’t matter who’s at fault. There is a problem in Brooklyn regardless

 

[Air273]

what horrible trade for nets....4 first round picks with a talent like booker on the team for that span.....i'd bet they never pick in the top 16 - bridges is nice though

as stated perviously, can't get anywhere close to equal trade for a top 5-7 talent.

houston made out like bandits - going to get some amazing picks now that this nets team is garbage.

the problem in brooklyn was KD - he got what he wanted and it failed so he had to blame everyone else but himself

 

[pums]

Simmons contract almost gonna guarantee the nets will suck. The rockets won

 

[pmatic]

How is Chris Paul gonna blow this come playoff time? Should be hilarious in May-June.

 

[Mister Meaner]

I wonder if Pdx was on the shortlist for KD.

Dame x KD woulda been good entertainment.

And CP0 woulda been secured once again.

****

I get the initial shock and excitement of the trade,but PHX ain’t winning nothing this year.CP3 ain’t gonna magically unwash himself and Ayton ain’t gonna get tougher.Those 2 definitely getting moved in the offseason for depth.

its the KD + Booker show if healthy - dude is a role player now - if hes hurt, won't stop them -

suns over Cs in 6

Well damn Brooklyn

I'm never going to sleep again.

you at 9:30 tonight

 

[dacomeup]

Heat have a nice little arena

 

[dacomeup]

I think the Clippers can get enough downhill guard play from Powell, Mann, corpses of Jackson/Wall to bypass signing Brick.

I don’t think they believe that

Suns should be #1 contender in the west, at the very least co-favorites with the Nuggets but they lost depth, perimeter d and still aren't physical.

 

[blakep267]

Dog... That's a terrible haul for a player who is top 5 when healthy. You can take all the copium you want but the nets traded 3 hall of famers in a year for a bunch of rotational pieces. Mikal is the only one worth something. And picks mean nothing in the NBA unless they're top 4-5.

Rudy gobert kinda messed things up. 4 firsts isn’t bad but how utah fleeced minny yea it looks bad in comparison

 

[blakep267]

That’s prob why they did the trade. If the nets wanna tank, they’ll need pics

 

[usabasketball08]

Love it there. They do a good job of making the arena have that Miami party vibe to it.

 

[amitt5504]

Optics aside, the Nets did well getting what they got for KD

Granted they’re still an unserious franchise

Watch Philly still lose to them on Saturday

 

[bossplaya0625]

Brooklyn definitely deserves a 30 for 30 after this. Has to be one of the most fascinating and disappointing stories in NBA history.

[allergic2broke]

Wow

 

[CJMcfly26]

Nets tickets back to being dirt cheap again lol I love it.
Barclays revenue about to drastically drop now. Nobody coming to see this squad.
