The 2024-2025 NBA Basketball Season

There is no logical reason for anyone to want Flagg to go to Utah.

You want to reward their fans for having racist tendencies?

Utah is one of the worst markets in the league. Washington and Charlotte would be far more preferable from a league marketing standpoint.

I would prefer Washington over Charlotte. The hornets done nothing good with their recent lottery picks. No reason a team with Ball, Bridges, and Miller can’t win 35 plus in the weak east

That's what concerns me most re: the Lakers possibly facing them in the playoffs.

I think the Lakers are better overall with Luka instead of AD...but AD is a post presence that OKC struggled some against.

So, they're better against most of the rest of the league, but a little worse against the team they're likely to have to go through if they make the WCF.

I like Jaxson Hayes...but he ain't causing Hartenstein or Chet any sleepless nights. lol

These 2 games going to be interesting

I think there is at least a 50 percent chance he stays another year. He can make about as much next season I think.

He’s not staying. This isn’t the wnba

We will see I really think there is a chance. But yeah he likely doesn’t.

If they're part of the league, they deserve a shot at #1. The Wizards and Hornets Francises have been bad by their own hand for so long.

Duke will probably have issues with their incoming class if he stays. Some one and done recruit will lose their starting spot.

They have a shot.

The biggest reason the Wizards have been irrelevant is because they hold on to mediocrity and fail to truly blow it up until it happens naturally.

How they managed Beal and Wall should be a case study of what not to do.

Yes, they have drafted poorly too.

But Washington is a good basketball market. Fans there deserve a good team to root for. Flagg can help bring that.

Also…

The Wizards are terrible, but they have been playing their best guys most of the time.

Utah has been sitting their best players at a crazy high rate.

He's a New Balance endorsee. That screams Utah to me lol.

Great.

You think that is what the league wants?

Or what any NBA fans outside Salt Lake City want?

Retiring hope in chocolate city would be the best possible outcome.

The anti-Utah hate is strong with this one.

The other teams at the bottom are there by their own blunders. The Jazz are there by strategy,

 

[DJ Fieri]

Booker would be good for them. They don't really have a stellar point guard.

Fred Van Vleet is Houston's PG.

Booker isn't available since Phoenix isn't interested in trading him.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Lakers in 5

I know, but he's just not stellar. Getting a bit old.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Wow. Please don't fuck this up LA

 

[JDW]

They've been on fire the second quarter. OKC will still probably come back.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Don’t worry guys, I will be back for the playoffs to bitch more about the refs lol.
I think someone mentioned a shortened season. I could vouch for 72 games possibly if it was considered. Doubt it happens.

Btw when the season concludes I will make the annual playoff predictions thread with the bracket posted

 

[thunderc]

Wow. Please don't fuck this up LA

F what up?

 

[JDW]

F what up?

They're giant lead.

 

[thunderc]

They're giant lead.

It’s a game that really means nothing ?
