2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

Pretty much. Which tells me she doesn't want to compete for FA with teams willing to spend well into the tax. I get she may have an affinity for Russ but I also think it's because his contract represents dollars under the cap whereas a move for long term deals almost certainly put them above it.

So again when your piece is Lebron not spending into the tax is an absurd approach. Either blow it up or spend into the tax.

Keeping Lebron but not doing so is not a good idea at all.

I think LeBron is out this summer.

Sixers 16-4 in their last 20, 16-5 with Harden back. 5 games with the Nets Celtics and Cavs coming up in January and February. Good that they’re playing good basketball and figuring out people’s roles but this team can’t really do anything until the playoffs start. Would like to see them get to the two line though so they can get home court through two rounds.

J Williams turning into a 2-way beast

Defensive Upside: Jalen Williams’ Two-Way Impact Sparks Thunder’s Recent Success

On many nights over the past few weeks, Jalen Williams has been the Oklahoma City Thunder's second or third best player, playing well beyond his years. While he continues to build his NBA All-Rookie resume, the defense has been equally impressive as the offense.

Embiid MVP

 

[thunderc]

Kind of a long read but for anyone interested in SGA. The dude really is as cool as he seems, and he is all in with the Thunder.

RARE & RELENTLESS

SHAI GILGEOUS-ALEXANDER IS, and there’s really just no other way to put this, cool. He’s cool in an interview. He’s cool with how he dresses. He’s cool slipping through defenders for an acrobatic layup. He’s cool under pressure. He’s cool just … being cool.

Embiid MVP

Why

 

[thunderc]

Why

As of right now because he is owed one, but he is coming on.

So Tatum doesn't exist?

Owed one?

For what?

For what?

For being the MVP

 

[The Q]

For being the MVP

That never happened

For being the MVP

Jokic rightfully won it. Stop hating

Eh not hating, Embiid should have won one of the last 2 in my opinion.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Embiid MVP

They’re never giving him that award. I’ve given up. The only way this changes is if he takes them deep in the playoffs.

Joel Embiid is the King of the All NBA 2nd team.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Jokic rightfully won it. Stop hating

Twice? That dude is a 2 time MVP? We’re gonna put him up there with Wilt Bird Bill Russell as the only 3 in a row MVP guys?

Which is why they need to trade Dort.

Embiid MVP

He's not getting it over Jokic

 

[Shanemansj13]

For being the MVP

A good start would be to get more healthy so you can play more games. He isn't owed anything.

Denver is #1 in the west and Jokic is averaging a triple double and almost 2 steals a game.

Does it really matter? Lebron should have 2-3 more MVP's, the problem is he has a more legit case than Embiid for those
