2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

Come on man, that’s total bullshit, in the end we may be talking about 2 all time top 10 players. Cuban deserves criticism for some things, this is not one of them. Did Atlanta trade Luka because he is white? See how that works when you see color for absolutely no reason? Pretty bush league of you, you are usually better than that.

Dirk is a top ten player all time? Da fuq? You can disagree with what I’ve said all you like but it’s not bush league. It’s marketing the NBA in Dallas, Texas.

The only color that matters to Cuban is green. Please tell us all the white players that Cuban took chances on if that is the case. You can’t. Sad dude, I mean really sad.

He doesn’t need a team full of white players, just the big one that they market.

By your argument about Texans I hope you realize if their NBA fans were like that they would look at Dirk and Luka as fn foreigners, not white. Just admit you are being racist and stupid at the same time in the name of politics on the nba board and be done with it. This is the worst of you, no doubt.

@Pastafazul what do you want for Fournier? I think he would be a nice fit in CLE.

Been out of town, what’s goin on?

Reggie Miller says hi.

That was 6 points.

Tracy McGrady game I think they were down 8.

 

[tlance]

Do you think the Rockets would have repeated without Drexler? He was a pretty important part of that '95 team.

There are a lot of guys on championship teams who were invaluable parts of winning them.

My point in making the comment is that the championship isn’t a valid separator between the two.

Dame has always been the best player on his team. Give him an MVP level running mate and then it is a far comparison to use.

I thought that one was 13

 

[tlance]

Maybe…

That might be the reason they use that stat for 20 years and not longer.

I was watching when he did that.

Nah. It is what it is. You just don’t like my opinion.

Actually I wasn't using that '95 title to separate the two. I just disagreed that Clyde rode Hakeem's coattail to that title.

We might have different definitions of riding a players coattails. To me that means a player got a title but wasn't a major contributor. Drexler was an important piece of that team once he got there.

Just dropping by to remind everyone that the Wolves trading for Gobert is the most catastrophically awful trade in sports history.

And everyone involved in even discussing making the trade should be banned from sports for life.

Yeah they’re in a bad spot

They need Hardy to be their next Brunson. That’s a tall ask

All those non guaranteed deals is how you can land a Collins and you try to build around those guys

Luka is special good. So your bar for supporting cast is a little lower

They should absolutely sell this year unless it’s a Collins move

They might even be able to be bad enough to save their pick like Portland last year

Collins and Wood? I'm not sure how that is helping. They need a guy like Brunson, maybe a wing, that can create his own shot. Wood fits and he has been really good, it would be a bad idea to go after Collins imo

No I don’t generally like racist bigoted opinions

Semantics really.

Just said it to get out in front of the people who say Drexler’s resume is better because of his title.

Your case because of his defense is the correct argument in favor of Clyde.

Only part I disagree with is that I don’t think it is a wash offensively. Lillard is a better offensive player which makes it really close again, IMO.

Sad shit is everyone knew it was a bad trade as it happened. This isn't even a monday morning qb situation

 

[bksballer89]

Not a good look

Not just a bad trade.

An all time bad trade.

And we knew this at the time it went down.
