2021 NBA Offseason

Interesting. What did the Cavs get?

Cade

Philly got sexton, plumlee, Corey Joseph and the cavs 2023 first

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Steep bill for Cade there.

3rd overall, Sexton, and a future first

Isn't Cade considered a future franchise player? Sexton, it turns out, is not.

Yes. Yes he is

Personally I hope Detroit stands pat with Cade

No, of course Sexton isn’t.

The surprise for me is that I think Suggs or whoever else goes at 3 very well might be also.

Very steep IMO, with that in mind.

I'd be thrilled if Detroit could flip for someone like a Simmons plus be in line for Suggs, Green or Mobley. My only concern with Simmons specifically would be fit with Hayes as Hayes as of yet isn't a great shooter by any stretch.

In this scenario I'd like Green most of all to land at the 3.

Guess worth it IF you think Cade is so much better than whoever goes 2-3. But, yeah, still a lot.

agreed...but you'd be getting #3 who many say can be a franchise changer, too.

Worst Olympic team I’ve witnessed. Embarrassing

This is their preseason. A lot of these teams been together for years. If they go 6-0 when the game start to matter, who will actually remember these exhibition games?

Practice or not, it's bad but the Olympics and the ball team is just not the same as it has been in the past. It seems they just don't care as much...imo

Yeah but the days of blowing out teams is over

1. Can't see the link.

2. That's been building some momentum. I really like the idea.

Yah, I don't think it's that they don't care.

In the past, the NBA was au unreachable dream for almost all foreign players. When the first Dream Team played, there were very few foreign born players in the NBA. I remember other teams players talking about what an honor it was to get beat by 50 by Team USA.

Since then, the level of basketball around the world has improved immensely. USA basketball is still better than anywhere else, but the gap is much, much smaller. Used to be, there was maybe 1 or 2 NBA players on a few foreign teams here and there...now Nigeria had what? 6?

Yep and think about the 10 best in the league. Luka, Giannis, Embiid, and Jokic are all from other countries. That's almost half of arguably the 10 best in basketball

Making a lot of excuses for team USA

 

[trojanfan12]

Making a lot of excuses for team USA

No excuses. They still have more talent and had no business losing to either team.

Just acknowledging the reality that it's no longer the cake walk it used to be. So we can't just show up, roll the ball out and collect the win. Team USA actually has to pay attention now.
