2021 NBA regular season thread

Sure but John Wall did too and he looks great

True. I hope Klay comes back, Wiseman develops and we can see Lakers vs Warriors in the postseason.

That'd be awesome.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Who goes to the bench when Klay returns? Wiggins or Oubre?

I think Oubre is dealt by the deadline.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Oubre is an expiring contract @shopson67....

 

[DJ Fieri]

Kendrick's son.....LOL.

 

[shopson67]

Was asking myself that today. I'm a LeBron guy but don't like the Lakers. Id rather see someone new win but they've put together the least likeable team possible.

Your dislike seems blind then. This team loves playing together and are a lot of fun. Two stars and a bunch of role players; what is so unlikeable, especially if you're already a Lebron guy?

 

[shopson67]

Oubre will be on another team imo

Are they just going to let him walk? Can't see them trading him if they are in the playoff discussion...

I was referring to the Nets

Agree with you there, and as I mentioned before, they were an overachieving underdog I could root for previously with guys like LeVert, Dinwiddie, Harris, etc. Kyrie was bad enough, adding Lamont was overkill.

Warriors can't afford to keep Oubre. He was a filler because Lacob wanted to still press for a playoff run to maximize Steph's last remaining prime window.

My best guess is that the Warriors eventually flip him to see if they can get some cap relief for this year (their tax bill is ridiculous) and another pick or developmental piece. If Oubre is playing well he could be a real difference maker to a contender. The Blazers in particular are a team where I think he would excel as a wing defender and slasher. Not sure what they would give back, but you see what I mean here.

NBA draft mistakes 4.0: The Minnesota T-Wolves in 2009

The Pick: #5 or #6 Ricky Rubio or Jonny Flynn Rubio has been a solid and steady PG but not worth his draft position and Flynn never bounced back from an injury he sustained. The Miss: #7 Steph Curry. Curry is arguably the best outside shooter of all time. Curry is a 2-time MVP and 3-time...

Volume 4.

@Shanemansj13 gets the assist on a better one this time around and the future ones.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Maybe somebody starts a series on redrafting the top 14 picks.....that'd be a good one too but too much research for my liking.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Kendrick's son.....LOL.

That last one, him puffing his chest out.....LMAO.

Yeah, injuries have really hurt them.....again.

The Cavs will give you McGee and Porter Jr

I’d love to see him throw food at Draymond

Salaries match? I don't think so.

You have some weird fetishes. But I'm not judging.

It’s not my fetish man...

“The report says Porter started to yell ... and even threw food at one point.”

But what I am curious about is what kind of food did he throw and was anyone upset they were out a ham sandwich for their postgame snack.

Green would beat his ass just like Cousins and Wall would have tag teamed Harden if he had stayed longer.
