2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

[Wamu]

Guest announcer on some games. Think NASCAR might be keeping from doing it permanently.

I knew he was involved with nascar. But didn't know he's co-owner of JTG Daugherty Racing. Last year was his first full season from the info I found.

Also heard years ago the reason he wore # 43 was because of Richard Petty.

 

[The Q]

The Lakers? They had to trade Jones to let Kobe be able to start. And Kobe's legacy went from there.

Imagine if they got a good return for Jones…or even rice

 

[Shanemansj13]

Daugherty announces Cavs games? Thought when he retired he went into Nascar.

He rotates with Carr and Fratello. Not sure why Fratello is in the rotation, he is kinda dull

Didn't need to, we were good enough as is.

Dynasty with Shaq and Kobe. Imagine if Kobe never went gunner mode vs the Pistons in the Finals.

 

[Shanemansj13]

But, will Clarkson?

I thought he’d be one of the first guys gone.

But, they are talking about extending him.

Not sure I’m buying that.

I’m not buying it either. I think Clarkson is starting to lift that trading price. Sexton is obviously there long-term so it was weird seeing him as a bench player but I think that is the reasoning. I also think Mark could be long-term, if not long-term maybe 2-3 more years. Their future will rely on their drafting though, they better stop winning or they aren’t getting a top 5 pick

Clown shit.

They also traded Eddie Jones for Glenn rice.

People should be thankful they did make some grade a fuck ups

They won a chip with him on the roster.

So.....

I kinda put it with the Pistons taking Darko over Bosh/Wade/Melo.

If they took Melo, would Prince had been a thing?

Would they have traded for Sheed?

Worked out in the wash.

I like him better than AC but agree he's not the best...sure wish Daugherty didn't have his NASCAR commitment as love him in the role.

Don't like dissing AC but he's getting up there and just a bit too old school.

More looking at how it thinned out their roster after the fact

Yeah AC is not for everyone. A homer and I can see how he can be annoying even for Cavs fans but he brings excitement. I don’t mind him but I understand the rotation. Gotta have a mix for the opposing teams’ fans.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Lol

I'm starting to think he really has a issue because he's not even practicing.

Still, the NBA really needs to crackdown on this shit for the times that he is sand bagging.

Here's the problem....

It's league wide.

Can't smack the Clippers without punishing others too, even if we are the most egregious.

Teams are flat out stating guys are sitting for rest now.

I thought that wasn't allowed?

Rest, non covid illness, injury management.. Its all the same shit.

Yeah, this is clearly the Clarkson showcase.....lol

Teams want him.

Bucks have already tried.

Ainge just doesn't want to take back a bad long-term deal.

Unless someone blew me away, the winning continues at a high rate, I'd keep Lauri.

His.contract is decent and he's still young, unlike Clarkson and Conley.

But, who wants a roster full of children?

Need at least one good vet....I guess.

They got olynyk lol

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Bro, he's been good.

We laugh, and it's a uber-small sample size....

But, you think a guy like that wouldn't be helpful to the Lakers?

He's not solving their center woes.

But, his ....again micro sized.... 64% from 3 would at least skew heir average from rancid to slightly disgusting.... Lol


No seriously...

14, 4 and 4 on 60% from the field, 64 % from 3 would make him there 3rd best player.

 

[wildturkey]

Lol

Is he made of tissue paper and balsa wood? How bad were his injuries that he still needs to be babied this much after all this time?

Wet tissue paper and cobwebs.

He's played 40 minutes this season.

Cant count on him.

Don't get how y'all have him top 75.

I just don't understand what MORE rest does for him.

This is the most rested player in nba history.

No.

He's broken.

Did you watch any of his whopping 40 minutes of play this Season?

12ppg and 16 % from 3.

If it's just general soreness, not playing is not going to solve that.

If it's something more?

Sit until it's healed.

His popping in and out of the lineup is worse.

They need to decide if Batum or Powell is his replacement and build some chemistry.

I can't take another 5 games of George isolation and the entire teams chronic turnovers.

They can't count on Kawhi.

He's not even practicing, just getting treatment.
