2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

Just seemed unnecessary by KD, everyone knows it.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

KD's a great player but...

-he had to join a team he couldn't beat that were the 2x defending conference champs w/ the 2x MVP to win a title

-he left a dynasty to team up with Harden & Kyrie

-wants the HC & GM fired, demanded a trade, and now publicly throws his teammates under the bus

-he shouldn't have badmouthed his teammates like that

KD is an amazing player. But his legacy will be decided by those actions too.

MJ and Kobe criticized their teammates all the time, but for their laziness, not their abilities.

When you have a star player hop from Super team to Super team, you really need to STFU about the players you have around you.

Damn. If I’m coach Vaughn I’d sit him.
I don’t GAF who you are.
You can’t say that kind of stuff.
It not only disrespects those players it also throws the coach under the bus unnecessarily and ruins whatever camaraderie they have left.

I think it’s his way of supporting Irving, doesn’t have the nads to come right out and say it.

Can you imagine what Jordan or Kobe would have said if a guy with Kyries attitude was on the team?

Jordan would have authorized a hit

The Nets are in a lose-lose situation. They have a complete mess on their hands. And I don't think even Pop or Spo could straighten things out. When the stars of the team say publicly they don't need a coach that's a message they (KD & Kyrie) aren't listening to anyone because they think they know it all.

Great read and why i hate click bait quotes. Doesn't seem half as bad when reading the entire article

 

[DJ Fieri]

I'd rather keep Reaves. I'd love to give Nunn, lol. Don't know what is up with him, how does shooting just dry up? Must be lack of confidence I guess?

Me too but he hasn't played in a while and Nunn's upside is higher than Reaves.....if he can rebound. And at just 27 hard for me to think that Nunn is done.

 

[DJ Fieri]

I highly doubt it.

The Celtics seem to have found their "Galo replacement" though... Sam Hauser has stepped up so far.

Yeah, that kid has made the most of his opportunity.....like Matt Ryan for the Lakers. Hope Ryan can keep it up and keep getting better.

Regardless.....even "half as bad" is nonetheless, still bad.

I am on the record saying I'd do it......with both the picks we have been discussing all summer.....

No chance the Nets bite on that though. LOL.

 

[DJ Fieri]

For just a second please close your eyes and imagine RW, Simmons, and AD playing together......even with say Harris and Curry in the starting lineup.....the trio of RW, Simmons and AD can't shoot.....LOL.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Don't look now but the Lakers might be ready to turn the corner. RW making 34% of his treys and Walker making 36%.

And we up to 31% after that 21% start.

LOL.

Former Lakers champion says trading LeBron James would make them contenders again

Former Los Angeles Lakers forward Lamar Odom believes that the Lakers would be contenders again if they traded superstar LeBron James. Los Angeles is struggling to start the 2022-23 season, going 3-10 through its first 13 games.

Lamar is on that stuff again it seems. He thinks a massive return for Lebron would put the Lakers right back in contention. Never mind the fact that they couldn't trade him this season even if they wanted to, lol.
