2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

I am surprised at the Wiggins deal.

That is almost a Curry like bargain from a few years ago. Think he could have got considerably more in the free agent market.

I would not be surprised if Dray opts out and leaves.

I also wouldn’t be surprised if he signs a team friendly multi-year deal like Wiggins has.

Dray isn’t a fool. He knows how good GS is for him.

He would be stupid to leave, that would essentially ruin the end his career. GS is a perfect fit if he leaves he will get exposed.

He’s exposed, everyone knows exactly what he is. He isn’t going anywhere for 2 years and then his decline will make decisions pretty easy. Doesn’t mean he can’t have a few more years in the league and make decent money.

I like Moses Brown much better as a two way contract.

Hope this means we will bring in Favors or Whiteside to fill the last roster spot.

The thunder and the spurs don’t deserve the benefit of the doubt


Their track records can and will be used against them

The Thunders track record has them amongst the best records over the last 15 seasons.

When is the ring ceremony and banner raising?

When is the ring ceremony and banner raising?

The planning is going on right now, look for the announcement.

 

[thunderc]

I expect the Thunder to be about the 5th or 6th worse record this season. No doubt they will be in the lottery but they won’t lose as much as the last 2 seasons.

This. Wiggins did not improve between leaving Minny amd going to GS. He just ended up where expectations of him lined up with who he is.

Except on defense, he played better on that end.

I think he was talking Dray but I agree that Wiggins landed in a perfect spot.

My mistake. Dray and Wiggins are in a similar boat. Warriors critical for their success.

 

[thunderc]

They give out 29 just like that every year.

 

[logic]

That would seem very convenient for GS at this time. I'd be against instituting it right away if I was an owner competing against them. Seems like that is something you would have to put 5 years out so everyone knows the score

With the Pistons last few drafts I would be all for it or they won't be able to keep all of them in the very near future.

 

[logic]

So being smart enough to pick a better location is an "unfair advantage"?

If I'm smart enough to open a sandwich shop in a busy strip mall and next door to a cannabis collective and someone else opens one in a remote part of the same city...I should be penalized?

Guarantee you'd be taxed more in that situation

I think for small to medium market teams it would be a good thing. You just can't drop it tomorrow like GS would want.

Only possible way it gets agreed to is if the small and mid markets can somehow tie up their players longer.
