2021-2022 NBA Season

One I believe so far. They play on NBATV in a couple days vs OKC. They get another one vs Toronto after a reschedule!! LOL It was 1 or 2 before the reschedule but I can't blame them. They were projected 24-25 wins

OKC has had more nationally televised games this season than the Cavs. I think that's weird. Watching the Cavs game Monday they said they have 37 games left. 25 against teams in the thick of the playoff race. So however their regular season ends nobody can say they had some type of easy schedule.

Top 3 contender without him, top with him but I'm not convinced he is back full time. Obviously the only way that happens if Brooklyn pays the fines. I'm done talking about this guy though.

You sound like Barkley now lol

I'm not even sure what he said but what did I say that isn't true.
Still a top contender without him and Kyrie already said he wasn't changing his decision so Brooklyn will have to pay more to play him full-time.

So they want two 1st's or a 1st and young player for Turner. They want a 1st for LeVert and they want an AS player for Sabonis.

Kyrie might be the most selfish player in league history.

Bob Sura.

Bob Sura.

Sura never did anything like what Kyrie's done. Last season he needed some me time to clear his head. So he went out clubbing breaking league virus protocols and missed even more games. And we are all aware of Kyrie's selfishness this season. I don't think the two are comparable.

Not saying you did but Barkley said the same thing on Monday about being done speaking about him

It doesn't get more selfish than intentionally missing a FG to try and get a rebound to get a trip doub.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Not saying Irving isn't selfish but Sura takes the cake.

What Kyrie's done is still worse. But I didn't know Sura tried to do that. I remember Ricky Davis trying that nonsense though. All I really remember about Sura is he played at FSU and played for the Cavs.

Trade Jaylen & Marcus to the Mavs for Luka.

Or since the Lakers are going to have some trouble retaining Monk, the Lakers could send Monk and the 2027 First Round pick for Grant.

Grant makes $20M, salaries would need to much closer. From a money perspective, it would take THT, Nunn, and a vet min player plus the pick.

Yeah, impossible but fun to poke the bear with our resident Celtics fan.

Sure it does. While intentionally missing a shot to try to get a rebound is pretty selfish, it only effects the 1 game and if the game was essentially over, I doubt his teammates cared much other than giving him some shit about it (especially if he didn't get the rebound).

Kyrie's crap has effected multiple seasons.

Saw a short clip on sportscenter a couple of minutes ago about Kyrie. He was asked about his vaccine status. And said he doesn't want to bring science into the topic. He's put himself above the organization and his teammates. Proof he thinks he's more important than anyone else.

Of course he doesn't want to bring science into the topic; he would make a (further) ass of himself. He thinks he's smarter than everyone including over 90% of his fellow NBA players who are vaccinated, truly laughable.

Yeah, I added DJ to THT and Nunn and it works. I doubt Detroit would want DJ, but a similar salary would work.

But, as I posted yesterday, I don't see this happening. I think another team will offer a similar package, but with a young player that folks feel has more upside than THT.

THT has shown flashes, but he has been inconsistent with them. Pelinka would have to pull out his best sales pitch to convince them that THT has enough upside to do this deal.
