2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

The most interesting parts of Miles career were how his draft selection wrecked the bulls plans in 2000 and lead to the disastrous playing Marcus fizer at the 3 selection

When he got traded to CLe there was a theory that some scouts quoted in SI that didn’t like the trade because he was gonna have to take on more of a primary scoring role as hurt his development of an all around game (basically the opposite of tmac’s development since the Cavs didn’t have a Vinsanity, but his knees were shot anyway so it was irrelevant

And finally, when his knees went and the blazers got that exception and then he played enough for other teams to put his salary back on their cap you had that stern memo from a blazers exec saying teams had a legal duty not to sign miles and intentionally hurt the blazers. I wrote my note in law school about this issue

I loved him when the Clippers drafted him.

I really thought we had something with him, Q, Maggette, Dooling and Livingston a bit later.

Welp.

I remember the Blazers thing and it did indeed suck.

Was it the Wolves who signed him?

He was just okay for me. He was a good player at his peak though.

Guys I always thought could hoop who didn't get much accolade:

Jamal Mashburn
Shareef Abdur Rahim
Kenny Anderson

Abdur Rahim was empty calories to some.

I liked him too.

Another good player nobody ever mentions because he was a huge dick?

Derrick Coleman.

I believe the celtics sign him for some pre-season games and the nba ended up ruling that those counted towards him limit.

I wanna say memphis might've also given him a shot?

I thought yall CRUSHED that 2000 draft. as bad as it was, you landed 3 of my favorites, and you got Dooling for cheap since the Magic were clearing out cap space for Tmac and hill.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

He had some good years.

Just not putting him on an all time list over those others.

But I take Gerald at 3 before I take Sheed at 3 for sure.

Remember when the Wiz tried that shit with Sheed?

I was stationed at Fort Meade, MD and we just knew we were getting Stackhouse.

It was a fun Season or two.

It begins…..

Bulls, Zach LaVine not seeing eye-to-eye

Multiple league sources and sources close to the organization say Zach LaVine and the Bulls are not seeing eye-to-eye. Over the past few weeks, there’s been a palpable feeling across various parts …

Shit forgot he played for them.

"Ball don't lie"

From 1996 - 2004.

That was his longest tenure than the other teams he was with.

One of many terrible trades.

Sheed, Webber and Juwon Howard all on the same roster.

And of course they keep Howard.

KD full season has been MVP level

His last 9 are bonkers though

32.9/6.7/5 on 63.6/42.9/94.7

Sheeesh

 

[dtgold88]

what lineup is better? this one or the '86-'87 Lakers?

did you mean from 86-87 or if they played today?

 

[SMOKEY95]

Well, he is definitely not a 3

Play Brandon Roy or Terry Porter at 2, Drexler at 3

Pippen also played for the Blazers after he was washed.

….and they have the draft capital to make it happen.

Id rather have Mitchell.

But, Zach is a hell of a consolation prize.

Shits going down in the Chi……

@bksballer89

So, he has the shits?

Mud butt, bubble guts?

 

[Stakesarehigh]

I'd like the Injury report to read (didn't feel like playing) just once

That’s what happens when you don’t want to give up RJ. Working out better for Utah, Markannen is having a hell of a year

The W’s throw around money, let them be the one to do it
