2022 NBA Offseason thread

I definitely could see Giddey being a Rubio type of player. He is a nice floor general and playmaker

Not a bad comparison. I would hope OKC thinks his ceiling is a bit higher.....LOL.

He’s got 5 inches on Rubio, for starters

That's what she said.

I would hope so for any young player but it doesn’t always work like that. So far he plays like Rubio doesn’t mean he can’t be better. He has more size and a better rebounder. I expect him to be much better but we will see

Free agency has slowed down to a trickle.

I think the next phase will be trades this summer.

For me, I think his upside is more in the realm of Kings Vlade Divac.

 

[tlance]

Relax.

I didn't criticize him.

You reposted a tweet making fun of him for being cheap.

When that is almost definitely not why he is avoiding concessions.

 

[tlance]

Yep, you don't get to Lebron and Bradys age still performing at an All Star level without being very particular about everything you're putting into your body.

Yeah.

I don’t eat that kind of food either. And I don’t have anywhere near as good a reason as a pro athlete.

I do my best to avoid it. I'm excellent at avoiding sugar. But chips occasionally and burgers etc...

 

[Retroram52]

Well done Sanchez.

Like TJ said.....its funny and refreshing to see that when the man can buy the arena he's sitting in. Wasn't knocking him for it. We post Tweets all the time on here, doesn't necessarily mean we agree with them. We post all kinds of shit on here.

Giddey or Chet?

Giddey doesn't remind me anything of Divac.

For me he does. His upside seems to be a glue guy who can rebound pass and finish and make guys around him better. I made reference to a specific era of Divac.

Well, Divac was a 7 footer and Giddey is like 6-7, maybe 6-8.

I was talking more about the type of game they have and the way they can impact a game.

Windhorst went into a little more detail on ESPN’s “Get Up.”

“I can’t articulate how little LeBron cares about the Lakers’ 2029 first-round pick. He could not care less about it. … He wants to win tonight and Kyrie Irving gives him a chance to win tonight. We are in a moment right now where teams are pushing back against player empowerment. … Now the Lakers are staring at this. Are they honestly going to push back on LeBron James if he’s sitting there with the pen ready to sign an extension making sure the Lakers remain highly relevant and a championship contender for the next two years?”

 

[Black Adam]

Ah, youth...

 

[Wamu]

Ah, youth...

This is great. Good for you young fella.

There's a fine line between confidence and arrogance.

Ja ain't beating MJ in a game of 1-on-1 in his prime.
