2021 NBA regular season thread

And I think that's asking too much of Harden AND Irving.

Probably so.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Really sucks Dinwiddie got hurt because they need him now with LeVert traded.

They have somebody to back up Jordan or need to find a C now?

 

[DJ Fieri]

I bet on the Nets -5.5 before the trade. Fuck.

They are going to be shorthanded tonight. I need KD to go for 50-60.

So the rotation should look like this (if Kyrie comes back):

Kyrie
Harden
Harris
KD
DJ

Chiozza
Shamet
TLC
Green

They have little to no big depth

They need Dinwiddie right now.....LOL.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Is Jeff Green their backup C now? LOL.

They need to find one. Jordan shouldn't play more than 23-25mpg.

Is Jeff Green their backup C now? LOL.

Listed as their 3rd string C. Nicholas Claxton is listed as their backup C.

NBA players react to James Harden blockbuster

The news of James Harden’s trade to the Brooklyn Nets sent shockwaves through the league and it was felt right away on Twitter, where players quickly reacted in shock to a deal that truly cha…

Andre Drummond's tweet.....LOL.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Trade Irving to the Wizards for RW?

LOL.

 

[trojanfan12]

lol

So, KD set himself up with situation like he had with the Warriors...

Only this time, with crazy people.

Should be fun.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Going to be a lot of 140-138 games in Brooklyn.

Nash and D'Antoni are going to replicate those Suns teams.....LOL.

 

[Gman]

Wait...

So the Nets gave up a huge amount of 1st round picks... and pick swaps... way into the future... AGAIN?

My goodness.

Remember all that "building a culture" talk in Brooklyn... what a crock of sh!t.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Woj said Houston was never going to trade Harden to Philly because Morey is there....

 

[DJ Fieri]

Ready for the Nets-Knicks.....should be interesting.

Do you need depth. It's been proven over and over put 2-3 stars on a team and they almost always win in the NBA..That is the blueprint for like the last 7/8 championships

Some great players... but that's a poorly constructed team.

Screams "less than the sum of its parts"

The NBA today is about passing, spacing, movement, and defensive versatility... you simply don't need 3 dominant ISO guys... diminishing returns on that front...

Any while Harris is a great role player... the rest of the roster (outside the big 3) is underwhelming... I think Green is a little past it... there's a lack of size... a lack of toughness... a lack of defense.

That team ain't going to the Finals.

And you're just a little biased.....

 

[DJ Fieri]

The Nets received a 2nd round pick in addition to James Harden, don't think anybody mentioned that.

Unless they can land a couple Markieff Morris-esque players in free agency after the trade deadline
