The Official NBA Season Thread: Kings Fire Mike Brown

[HOU$TON]

Kawhi owns Luka

 

[dman14]

kawhi starting to find a rhythm
looks slimmer and not as bulky as he started the season

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Never underestimate the heart of a Clipper

 

[D StaXX]

I'm so over Kidd.
No reason Hardy shouldn't see the floor in a game like today.
Could have used his scoring.

 

[king j]

Always baffles me when dudes play 30+ mins and cant score a single point

 

[Blue Mamba]

There needs to be a counter for how many times this thread has said to blow a team up

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Still mind blowing to me that players still pass back and forth when they're about to take a mercy Shot Clock violation in a decided game. It goes in the stat book as a team TO....and still nobody wants to be the one holding it

Might be a FG% killer too if you shoot. Remember moe Harkless had that clause in his contract where if he shot x% he got a bonus. You can have that grenade back

 

[Coupé It]

Look at Shannon Sharpe’s has influence.

Hitting NBA players is cool now.

 

[HIM]

Kawhi continues to own Luka. That’s really his son at this point

 

[SneakerProSr.]

Bigly.

This thing better without Wood?

We mid.

Wood or no Wood, we mid

 

[N41D]

Wood or no Wood, we mid

Without a doubt. Feels like they can at least flirt with stretches of high-level defensive play with Wood off the floor - Powell's playing well for what he is, but he's just not a starter. Gotta find THAT guy at center.

But the inconsistency is wild.

I'd explore every option for asset collection at the deadline... Not a total blowup but if someone wants to overvalue literally anyone on the roster, they're available as far as I'm concerned. Would lean toward keeping Dinwiddie and Dorian.

Mmm hmm. It’s frustrating but there doesn’t seem to be any other option than to punt barring some kind of miracle lopsided trade

I’d trade Dinwiddie now, we aren’t going to resign him and his value won’t be higher.

I’d trade Dorian for a player but not a pick

Those are just the two guys on the roster I look at and think "Definitely guys that could contribute to a contender here" ...

But to your point - obviously have to wonder what resigning Spencer looks like.

I've preferred to punt and keep the pick this year because of how deep this draft is in guys that can handle the ball and playmake on the perimeter, but they won't drop down that far unless Luka gets hurt.

But ultimately they're probably still best suited to get that trade over with and have the full clip for the next big swing ASAP.

Mannn Pels aint shi without Zion or BI playing

Scary if healthy - but way too heavy on "if healthy" guys.

All their Big 3 gonna be dinged and miss stretches damn near every year. They got a path but it's a damn tough way to live.

 

[noblekane]

can kawhi please load manage the next game? please?

I just ride it out, I don’t extend Wood but I don’t write it off

 

[pmatic]

None of the teams slated with cap space are gonna be rushing out to sign Wood so the Mavs can afford to hold off on an extension, I think.

This has long been my thought/preference.

He's not gonna ink a big deal this summer, I don't think - and I just can't imagine the trade market gives you anything worth moving on early for.

No reason to rush... and maybe he needs the open market wake up call that he's just not a starting center anywhere worth a damn.

The 2022 championship trophy is still pretty new. Gold still shiny.

Nastiest “fan” in this thread by far.
