2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

[The Q]

When does he need to be paid?

Im also tripping that Denver wants to get rid of Hyland.

Does he think he should be the starter or something?

If a guy isn’t making waves, doesn’t need to get paid, keep him…unless you have a position of need to get you over the hump and he’s your best shot at filling it.

Denver only has one first they can trade

They need to use bones, watson etc to add the key pieces.

This is their best shot at a ring

They need a pass first pg and a backup c who is actually nba caliber

They should just get plumlee with their trade exception and dump Jordan on them to ride out the year

They could also use one more wing off the bench but I’m not sure they have the salary and pieces to make that happen

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Why is Durant an All Star then?

 

[Gman]

He’s more likely traded at the draft and the Celtics can reset his salary spot.

I have a hard time seeing them paying him and grant

Oh... Pritchard is gone after his rookie contract...

... dude wants playing time, and (unfortunately) he can't get that in Boston.

But he still has value for us as insurance during a couple of Championship runs... so we shouldn't give him up unless the deal is right.

So, Conley?

I never understood why they signed Jordan so fast.

He’s like 10 day contract material, not first day of free agency.

He got voted in, duh. But also you know exactly what the difference is. Man I didn't realize you were as big a homer as you are, just because Harden is on your team doesn't erase his past bullshit

 

[Pastafazul]

I don’t think there is another fan of any team /sport who watches his team with a what the fuck was that look on their face more than a Knicks fan

Dude Durant never quit on the floor, ever

I had Durant top 3 MVP before he got hurt.

Unreal how he turned that shitshow around.

I don’t think their too heavy roster can add a Conley

Maybe, if they cash in all their young chips, i had them pushing for rozier and plumlee

But that costs them basically everything including their trade exception.

They’d need to add a wing via the buyout market

And he changed teams when his contracts were up. Didn't force his way out.

I’m not saying Durant isn’t an All Star. He is an All Star for as long as he laces up sneakers. I’m pushing back on Thunder’s comment. Same thing applies to Durant and the coaches players and fans all voted him as a starter.

 

[fightinfunbags]

He quit on two teams just like Harden did.

 

[msgkings322]

It was him but also Kyrie not doing the vax bullshit and Simmons coming back. We knew they'd be good if they just played, and they are.

Really?

You say this shit in a *cyber* room with a lifelong Clippers fan *cyber* standing right here?

You think your multigenerational trauma exceeds mine?

But it doesn't. Harden bitched out of two different teams. Durant never did that.

Hmmmmmm, we have Bryant.

You need to give yourself a history lesson

Leaving as a free agent isn't "quitting" on anything

Trash ass Josh Jackson is available.

How do you get cut from a G League team in 1 day?

I had this:

plus a second or two

Bones to replace Rozier is pretty nice when you consider where the Hornets are right now
