2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

Presti has a plan, I guess we will know at some point. Someone mentioned Adams, yea he would be a great guy to have now but they weren’t going to pay him his big contract all those years in a rebuild. Would be great to get him now on the cheap. The locker room is not really something I’m concerned about, Shai has things moving the right direction.

That was me. Totally agree Adams was a luxury in a rebuild. Just pointing out that he fits great with what they are seemingly doing now.

I was thinking in terms of rim protector. I think the Thunder need at least one grown-man inside defender to bolster the roster. George or Kawhi are nice prizes, but there is always the injury concerns.

No question the Thunder will be adding an enforcer type. Chet isn’t going to guard those types, he will come from off the ball.

Can they keep fans on the hook for a prolonged rebuild via draft picks in NYC? That's questionable with the NY media...

The Knicks are the team in NY.

Like the Lakers are the team in LA.

The Sixers draw in the top quarter of the league now after tanking with dead end basketball for 5 years. If you build it, they will come. Everybody loves a winner. With a shit ton of draft picks and cap room to sign FA in 24 and 25 they’ll be back competing in no time. I don’t think there are many other situations they would part with Bridges over though. That’s why I’m saying you have to give them an offer they can’t refuse.

Maybe OKC tries to bring him back?

He would be perfect

You're awfully fixated on Big Red...

Blow up the blow up? Still can't seem them moving Bridges, he's the prize of the Durant/Kyrie trades.

Point is, he probably doesn’t fit the timeline of a total rebuild if that is the party they choose.

We shall see.

Sixers end of game execution and decision making has been mind boggling all year. Have no idea how they let that game get close down the stretch. Two blown calls didn’t help but most of it was their own doing as exhibited on this play.

Sounds good, but I hate a few of the not great ones....Grayson Allen, Dillon Brooks

Sitting here and I might literally be starving to death.

Yep.

Thinking about leaving here in the car and going to get food.

Driving myself nuts while my stomach is flipping cartwheels.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Bridges is the Nets' best player, don't think he'll be available.

As far as Gobert, I think maybe you maybe offer extra picks, just not the good ones lol. If not Gobert, some other rim protector.

Definitely not.

They're going to be building around him

We struggled to get that 6 seed bet in and I fucking posted about it like 3-4 times until we got it squared away. I went out of my way to make sure we logged a bet I’m gonna lose. I feel dumb. I’ve been saying all year the West is ass. I should have known the 5-10 seed in the West would be an epic shit show and all the Lakers had to be was not awful to grab a top 6. Congrats man. You called it.

Yup.

I shat all over @DJ for his predictions.

Gotta give the devil his due.

You say this shit like it’s breaking news to anybody.

He’s not home free yet

After the Kyrie/Durant shitshow, after the Garnett/PP shitshow…..

You would think the Nets would pump the breaks on trying to take the shortcut.

Like seriously, they had just got a decent roster of youngsters and replenished some of their picks.

But, pushed all their chips in on nutty ass Kyrie Irving.

It’s obviously a gamble most would take to get Durant.

But, the end result was catastrophic.

I cringe for them every time I see J Allen play for the Cavs, almost as much as I cringe when I see SGA, J Dub for the Thunder.

Meh…

I didn’t expect them to even get to 7 without beating teams in the play in.

So, big ups.
