2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

They did have an all time shit rotation
Until Bryant and Schroeder got healthy

People were saying we had a shitty roster after we made the FA moves and before the season started.

LOL

6-1 in our last 7 and 17-11 since starting 2-10.

This is why you have to be patient.

I liked the Bryant signing at the time but knew it would depend on injuries. He’s been a big help since getting healthy. They still need to make a trade

No doubt but I am torn on wether we should do a minor deal or shoot for the fences.

Yeah, this group looks like they could be a higher than play-in playoff team if they are healthy.

But they need to make a trade to be contenders.

Fortunately, no one is exactly running away with the West, especially the Pacific, so there's still time to do something.

Really depends on what minor or big deal. I think if the deal is right they need to give up one 1st, not sure I would give up 2 unless it was for a really good player and a good fit

Giving up the picks isn’t just about this year

It’s about being able to add more good players to next years roster than you can by holding onto the picks

It’s a 2 year window

Imo, a minor deal isn't really going to help much.

Yeah, we could slip into a 5 or 6 seed....

Absolutely, they have cap space and that plays into it. That’s why it’s hard to evaluate. Is Hield and Turner the best thing for this team now and in the future? Worth giving up the picks and the cap space? How much does Turner want? A lot of factors

That will all depend on AD.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Sure but we are winning without him right now.

6-1.

Here is the thing.....AD comes back and 'Bron would need to avoid an injury.

Another consideration is, with the way Bryant has been playing, do they really need Turner? Do they really want to give up 2 firsts to get a guy who they may not want to spend the money it will cost to keep? They could re-sign Bryant for less and use their cap space to keep a couple of current guys (like Schroder) and/or add shooting.

 

[Pastafazul]

Ok, really

The Nets have gotten their shit together.
If they stay healthy. They rep east

If the Warrreeeeeerrioss come out to plaaaaay. The rep west.

I like look at the pelicans , but don’t think they best s healthy warrior team in PS.

They are only going to have 35-40 mill to sign 10 guys though....with just 4 guys under contract. The cap space isn't like they need to just add 5-6 guys to round out a roster.

And Bryant, Schroder and Reaves will be in line for significant pay raises.

We made 9 of 21 treys last night...

Yeah the way he has played definitely makes you question it. He is still injury prone and wouldn’t call him dependable long-term like Turner but he has played well. With guys stepping up the trade doesn’t make as much sense. I would think at this point the only way they give up BOTH picks is if it’s for a big-time player they couldn’t get on the market that is a good fit and also fits in the long-term plan. That option seems slim. Only option that comes to mind is LaVine. I’m not sure they have the ammo for him but he would be a good fit. Being a 3rd option might help him but does he want to be that guy. He seems to want to play for LA. If you can make that trade their depth suffers next season too

Poked her....she said give her 15 minutes.
