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

[storm2006]

Refusing to trade KD last summer

Playing dumb with Harden last year after his request

That’s them tryna hold power and dictate what’s gonna happen. But the players have more power sans Myrie

Yeah this is what I was alluding to in my post. I imagine they would want some sort of contract modification to account for all of these trade requests for dudes on deals they signed with multiple years remaining. And you could put in clauses for both parties but it would incentivize both parties to really think before offering and signing these long-term deals.

Mavs need to go get Bridges

OK Clippers…

 

[B Sox]

Mavs need to go get Bridges

With what

 

[wavycrocket]

Please don't send Bridges to Memphis, I actually like him

Bridges would fit right in. He does a lot of the same **** the Grizz players do . He just low wit it

 

[amitt5504]

Sixers need to find a way to get Dario and Bridges

 

[elpablo21]

So uh last night really happened huh

 

[pmatic]

Do it Grizzlies. 2023 first, 2024 Warriors and a far out pick.

 

[Mister Meaner]

Bridges is perfect for the Knicks but I don’t like what they’ll likely have to give up for him.

Hart averaging 8 boards a game & plays Swiss Army knife defense. He’s going to make the already good bench mob even better

If they stick to a 9 man rotation, ideally iHart gets the boot altho i think they will try a 10 man rotation [if no other deals made].

Three firsts for a guy with a dribble limit is wild man

 

[antidope]

Idk what the market for picks is anymore

Pick swaps with a team like the rockets isn’t anything guaranteed

The nets can still pivot and trade players for more picks to make up for the two firsts they lose outright to Houston

It’s the price they pay for building their super team. It’s not setting their franchise back in any way like the wolves did

Agreed which is why I think the rockets should move the Brooklyn picks in the offseason when the value is still high. I don’t think we are getting a repeat of Brooklyn handing over a #1 pick again.

Unless the Pels are giving up BI and like 7 picks, I have a hard time believing anybody was topping this PHX trade for KD.

According to Woj, nothing like this package had been on the table from them until Ishbia took over. They didn’t necessarily want to trade KD, but felt like they couldn’t pass up this haul.

 

[Mark Antony]

Nets giving the old Knicks management a run for the money for the worst NBA management in New York

Funny thing is the old Knicks management people associate with the dysfunction like IT and Layden are in proper situations now.

 

[elpablo21]

The price of the brick contending going up

 

[Mister Meaner]

Nets prolly wanna avoid further trades w/ Philly. Dealing with them was the biggest blunder of this whole experiment.

Ben killed Bk.

Hero.

 

[pmatic]

Jake Fischer said Brick to Miami was the hottest buy-out spot for him over the summer on his latest podcast.

 

[moe200069]

proud of RustyShackleford for keeping his shirt on. i was convinced this would’ve been him

 

[Bert.]

Bridges is nice, they can’t flip him already can they?

Dude needs to go to a winning team

 

[CJMcfly26]

Spurs got 13 1st rd draft picks and 11 2nd rd. Chess not checkers. Spurs conference finals 2025. Gurannnnteeeee (Barkley Voive)

James Jones didn't want to come off of Bridges during the summer. I legit thought he was Booker-level untouchable in Jones' eye,

I feel once Ishbia said he was willing to, then the Nets knew this was the best package they could get.
