2021 NBA regular season thread

Guess no one wanted to part with a first rounder. Early 2nd isn't terrible. Dennis Smith used to know how to play basketball. I doubt he pans but they get to kick the tires on him

He has raw talent.

But he does not know how to play basketball. That is why he has been such a bust.

Knicks making a move to get better....

Fox proven all of us wrong. Showing that he deserved that max contract

D-Rose to the KNicks

Looks like Thibs wants to finish the job. Prays up for Rose's knees

Everyone take note of his NFL bet today.

Who said he didn’t?

Rookie max is not the same as a regular max. Fox was always going to get that contract.

Maybe. There were some initial positive tests, but the NBA then had nearly 500 tests that were all negative before KD who apparently had a contact tracing issue.

I'm sure there will be a couple that will violate it. But my guess is that the vast majority will follow it.

Oh I am sure most of them will but you know they just can't keep their side pieces away

That is crazy talk.

Super Bowl is one of those A list dates. Like Valentines, Xmas, New Year’s.

Super Bowl is a day for the actual girlfriend/wife.

That's interesting. With what happened last year, I'd expect that they were 2 of the main "eyerollers" when PG tried to rally the troops after they got eliminated last year. Then PG gets a huge extension after shitting himself in the playoffs again.

Seems like they may still be struggling with chemistry.

That doesn’t make a ton of sense to me.

I think they need to go the other direction and get younger. Their contender window has closed. Drummond will help them get to 45 wins.

#free Boucher

We should

Exactly, which is why they should be all in on this:

There's just no reason to prolong this roster. If they want to try to build around VV Boucher and Siakam that's fine, although I don't see that working out all that great either, but they might as well cash in on Lowry while they can.

Not sure Miami makes much sense though - seems risky for them when they could realistically stay outside the playoff picture. Wonder if Boston doesn't try to get out from under Kemba and make a play for Kyle.
