2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

[DJ Fieri]

With clear trade options to improve and a recent championship. Cavs since Lebron's exit?

In the absolutely stacked EC.

There's more to that trade, isn't there? Still a win, but do we see a championship in their future?

Not enough to offset the fact that the Hawks fucked themselves.

On June 21, 2018, Dončić was selected with the third overall pick by the Atlanta Hawks in the 2018 NBA draft. He was then traded to the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for the draft rights to Trae Young and a protected future first-round pick in 2019.


Chip?

More so so Luka than Young.

But, who knows?

Ok.

LOL.

I’ve gotta step in here…Tampa is a complete shit hole and walking talking evidence of why Florida Man is a modern punchline.

LOL.

Moved here to be closer to the wife's family and her oldest daughter and her grandkids....

How is life with the blowup doll?

Lmfao

Beware, Luka!!!!

Sounds familiar. I think I have heard this 1…2…3 times before

Hahahaha.

The soap opera queen takes his show to Dallas now.

Sources: Nets trading star guard Irving to Mavs

The Nets are trading Kyrie Irving and Markieff Morris to the Mavericks in exchange for Dorian Finney-Smith, Spencer Dinwiddie, an unprotected 2029 first-round pick and two second-round picks, sources told ESPN.

You're a little late.

 

[tlance]

Well get rid of 70 million in salary. It's the salaries more than the headaches. Simmons is being paid a max contract to be a somewhat more skilled Bruce Bowen.

I'm not sure that the Nets SHOULD do that but trading Kyrie for scraps and some draft picks 5 years from now doesn't sound all that appealing.

When you have a superstar on your roster, salary dump trades should not be a thing.

Looking at them now post Kyrie trade are they even a contender now? It makes most sense for them to deal KD now.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

So what.





Not the 1st time....won't be the last.

Oh yeah...here's another one I'm a "little late" on....LOL

Sources: Steph expected out past All-Star break

The Warriors expect Stephen Curry to be out through the All-Star break with a left leg injury suffered in Saturday night's win over Dallas, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

[DJ Fieri]

If Irving walks in the offseason.....Dallas only has 105 mill in salary.....

So they'd have about 25-30 mill to sign some guys?

Not that Dallas is a FA destination....

 

[trojanfan12]

Mark Cuban isn't dumb. He likely figures it will work out great this year or not. He can watch them in the playoffs. If it doesn't work, move on...Not much lost, but a lot to gain. If it does work offer him a long term contract.

The Lakers could have done the exact same thing...

You clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

The Nets were not going to take Westbrook back, which means a 3rd team was going have to be involved.

Getting Kyrie was going to cost 1 first rounder. Getting another team to take on Westbrook was going to cost another first round pick.

The Lakers would also have had to give up a couple of players too. According to reports, it would have been Reaves and Christie, each of whom have shown they can at least be solid rotational players.

They were willing to do that if Kyrie would have signed the 2 year extension that is available. He wasn't willing to sign it.

The Lakers, rightfully so, were not willing to give all of that up for a potential 3 month rental.

The Mavs gave up 2 good rotational players a 1st and some 2nds.

So no, the Lakers couldn't have done "the exact same thing".

GAWD, I love this guy…lol


Giannis posted video on Sunday of a great interaction he had with a young fan in the tunnel. Giannis saw a sign, challenging him in Rock Paper Scissors for his shoes, and Giannis jumped at the opportunity to take on the young kid. The fan showed paper, and Giannis showed rock. Without hesitation, Antetokounmpo took off his shoes (removed the insoles) and gave them to the kid.

So awesome. Cool that he signed them too.

Dude just gets it.
