2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

Yeah, they were balling.

But, like they said on PTI, Lonzo is not the difference between a 26 win team and one that wins 50.

Something else is very wrong. <--

No doubt about that. There was talk of the Bulls moving LaVine. Could he be unhappy in Chicago? Haven't seen many Bulls games this season so don't know the situation in the Windy City.

70 % chance….

Am I the only one not buying this?

This has to be a negotiation tactic to get back to max contract status.

Just like Kyrie, money cures all.

James Harden going back to Rockets next season?

According to ESPN in December, Harden, who signed a two-year $68.6 million contract with the Sixers in June, could entertain the possibility of reuniting with the Rockets if he re-enters free agenc…

Houston tank for 2023/24 confirmed, lol.

Where's the best landing spot for Will Barton?

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I prefer it to Maverick, but both are very good.

It’s a Navy thing for me.

But, I also loved how they handled the Iceman situation.

Lakers, Suns, Dubs….Dunno if the Cavs have interest.

Maybe Philly?

 

[shopson67]

Me too. lol

Windy said he's improved enough to be draftable to the NBA.

But top 10? Need to see that with my own eyes.

Boosted to top 10 as a Lebron magnet perhaps?

I didn't like the original Top Gun that much, a little heavy on the bromance for me, so that colored the sequel a little. The Iceman bit was a tear-jerker.

I've watched E,E,AAO so many times this year, keep finding new things in it.

I'd be surprised if he made it all the way down to the Lakers on the list. I guess it comes down to which playoff teams have open roster spots (or are willing to create one).

Wouldn't mind seeing him in Boston since Galo's out. He'd be a nice bench addition.

doubth the Cavs have interest....rotation is pretty full.....he would just takem inutes from LeVert, Cedi, Okoro, Green

Celtics have been mentioned.



Adding another scoring option out on the wing is definitely something the Boston Celtics could explore doing, especially since Danilo Gallinari likely won’t return from his ACL injury. Not to mention, one small weakness the Celtics have right now is out on the wing.

Jayson Tatum has played a lot of minutes this season and with Jaylen Brown dealing with a facial fracture, it would not hurt to have a solid, proven veteran player who can allow Tatum and Brown to rest up for the playoffs over the final month or so of the regular season.

Is Vandy a 3 or 4 on your team?

He and Rui are kinda tweeners .

Although he has outperformed his contract, and has been better than I thought possible, I’d rather have Barton than TBJ.

Lakers have an open roster spot currently anyway. I just figure someone with better playoff odds will get him first.

Vandy is probably either, depending on the matchup. He shadowed Ingram vs the Pels.

Kawhi has 2 chips, with 2 finals MVPs.

Gotta swap him for George…imo

Especially after this Westbrook bullshit.

Thanks for posting that.

Yeah get Kawhi off that list. The list should be for players that are ringless.

But since Kawhi was mentioned why wasn't KD? He's won nothing without the Warriors dynasty. And last season they proved again they didn't need KD, he needed them.

This is funny coming from a 76ers fan considering last season Embiid publicly whined that the media doesn't like him.

Embiid learned the truth and answered when asked about it. Africans are second class citizens in the modern NBA, just like lebron's chinese masters want, just like they rob the African lands of resources and sell weapons to clear the land of native Africans. Racist as fuck.
