2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

[thunderc]

All but like 3 of them.

If blood was drawn I would count it, No on the others.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Not sure we can bring back both Schroder and Reaves.....I love Reaves and what he has done for us this season but push comes to shove and I have to pick 1?

Schroder.

Schroder.

...?

Schroder.

Yeah I don’t think the team is going to agree with you on that one.

Schroder.

Lol

What?

Hell no.

Unless……he really thinks he’s getting 3/60.

4/60…yeah.

 

[The Q]

With Reaves starting.....Schroder is like their 6th man. He can back up both PG and SG and get like 28-30mpg.

Lakers basically should keep everything to the next 2 years contract wise

They can have a clean cap sheet when Lebron and brow expire and start from scratch

Oh, I agree.....just curious to see if they decide to keep both.

That one is rougher

Just saying . Lebron is getting call whether he plays for the lakers or the Chinese national team

He's earned those calls same way MJ earned his

 

[The Q]

No one earns calls.

They’re violations regardless of who is doing them.

 

[msgkings322]

They’re violations regardless of who is doing them.

And yet, the NBA is what it is.

 

[fightinfunbags]

I’m going to agree with this principle but also add…come on…you know how that goes. You’ve watched enough to know better that in sports (especially NBA) stars get calls and the benefit of the doubt on 50/50 stuff. We can complain about that but it’s not gonna change. To say a guy has earned those calls means their game earned them that whistle.

Patrick Williams’ and Caruso’s defense giving Chicago some hope

 

[trojanfan12]

I’m curious if the lakers will use their mle to keep Schroeder

He’s in a monk type situation with bird rights

It's going to be an interesting off-season for them.

The goal should be to bring back pretty much the entire roster...but I'm not sure they can without hardcapping themselves.

So, they are likely going to have a couple of tough decisions to make.

Using Beasley and a first to make another useful add would be the best path forward beyond bringing eveyone else back

Agree, although I do like Beasley and think that with a full camp, being on the floor with Lebron and AD could really help him.

But if they can trade him and a 1st for a better player...gotta do it.

Not defending the trade. It was a bad trade. Just pointing it out that calling it the worst trade in sports history is ignorant.

The franchises I have followed have all made WAY worse trades unfortunately. And most franchises at some point have also made worse moves.

It isn’t the worst trade in history. Not even close

But it is ridiculously bad. We all knew it had no chance of working when they made it. It was a drastic overpay for a guy who should have been close to free because of his contract.

Gobert and Townes just don’t fit. Team is better without Gobert.

Let's see if they have to immediately turn around and trade Gobert or Kat. At which point you would've given up all those assets for a year or two of those 2 and whatever you get back. Or if in 24 25 they lose Ant then this becomes REALLY bad.

NBA wise I'd go Chamberlain and Barkley being traded along with the Nets Pierce Garnett deal. I know Barkley wanted out but perhaps someone has more insight on Wilt.

No matter what happens with this deal I don’t think it can be as bad as the Nets/Celtics trade.

That is just one.

It is terrible. But only approaches that level if the Wolves are high lottery for a few years.

And that is a possibility.
