2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

[Wamu]

I am totally joking.

But it is funny to me that is almost universally accepted that Russell was the best player from these teams.

They had a truly great team with many great players.

No 1 guy responsible for all those titles. <--

How about Auerbach? He drafted all those HOFers.

76ers' Joel Embiid may sit out 2023 NBA All-Star Game due to persistent foot soreness: 'We'll see how it goes'

Good! Fuck em. I’d rather he get the rest.

Yep looks like all are a go. Windler is even questionable

holy shit....and if upgraded likely means he could play.

just looked and no pigs flying outside.

all seriousness, I feel bad for the kid...couldn't catch a break.

Portland and Golden State are about to play chicken.

Are they allowed to negotiate compensation for the failed physical?

Didn’t NOLA and Philly do that with Jrue?

Aaron Gordon should be next up.

That was a fine.

I just meant something extra to rework the deal

Since it’s past the deadline idk if they can

As I understand it they have to decide today whether to go ahead and accept the trade. I expect the Warriors to accept it anyway, they don’t want Wiseman back.

This says no additional compensation, and they have until tomorrow to decide

I wonder if they could just keep Knox and the picks for themselves

Pretty sure the only options since it was a multi team trade are accept or reject

Good for him. What exactly was wrong with Windler? Before games it always said ankle, did he have surgery?

Seems silly they couldn’t just keep their take from det, but you’re probably right

yah they cannot adjust it at this point since the trde deadline is over. I read it.

I don’t even mean adjust it. Just reject the Portland part. And keep what they got from det for wiseman.

Logically they should allow that. But it’s the nba so I don’t expect the logical answer to work out…

 

[fightinfunbags]

Nothing tells me these analytic metrics are fugaze than the fact that they grade the Sixers defense highly. If you watch it, you know it’s incredibly flawed. They give up dribble drive. They over help on dribble drive and they habitually give up stand still wide open 3s. Most NBA teams are going to hit 40-50% of wide open looks from 3. It’s drilled way too consistently. This shit is malpractice from Doc.

I don’t believe Auerbach was as good a player as MJ. Close though.
