2021-2022 NBA Season

honestly- do i really want to pay bradley beal 250 million dollars for 5 years?

I mean- to a certain extent- just the market value for a max player with his service years- but it just seems like a shit ton.

I think the Pacers should keep Sabonis- and build around him, Duarte and Brogdon- and trade LeVert and Turner to shake it up.

Duarte is a keeper man. Great pick. He really reminds me a lot of a young Klay.

Was loving the projections of Duarte to the area of the draft where the Lakers still had their pick. He rose up the draft though.

He is already 24, so he's young to a degree but very old for a rookie.

I think more than Dinwiddie is gone by the deadline

Dinwiddie is a nice player in a different era. Not a reliable perimeter shooter, not much of a defender. In this era, he's a tough start for a playoff team.

Fail. He clearly has only one.

Signed for the balance of the season and a team option for 22/23.

Philly is out then. He already hates the tri-state area talent.

The tri-state area I know has always been NY-NJ-CT.

So Lakers have 34 games to figure things out. Hope AD can stay healthy, gonna need him. But if they get it all together in time they'll be dangerous in the playoffs. If they fire Vogel I think Lavar Ball would be a great motivator and coach for the team.

If Lebron continues to play the way he is and AD plays like "bubble AD"...I like their chances. Especially if they can get to a 3 through 6 seed.

All kidding aside on Vogel, I'm starting to think the whole "he's coaching for his job" narrative was somebody looking for clicks.

Other than he will be an expiring contract...Why would the Heat want him?

Benn saying all season long they got the talent and should click if everyone can get on the same page. How many different starting lines ups have they had this season? For some reason thinking it's been a lot.

And Vogel. This Lakers squad isn't some young bunch of player thrown together. And the team knows it's on them and not coach. The fire him stuff didn't make much sense from the beginning.

I forget the exact number, but I read a little while back that it's the most in the league by far.

Exactly. Plus, when you consider all of the new faces and how many players have been in and out of the lineup...I don't honestly know who's gonna do a better job. If you asked the Lakers what would be the nightmare scenario for this team...short of losing Lebron and AD for the season...we're probably seeing it. lol

The main issue I see is still Westbrook. He can still put up numbers, but unfortunately those numbers include turnovers and bricked layups. He doesn't seem to have a lower gear (except on defense), so he's out of control too often.

Anxious to see what impact Nunn can make (and who will lose minutes when/if he does).

He'll need time to get his wind back too. He played great early on last night, but even in reduced minutes he flagged pretty badly as the game progressed.

Lavar has to be itching to get some spotlight. Is he getting any in Chicago or Charlotte?

Not having some kinda chemistry is never good for a team.

True...but specifically in NJ.
