2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

The ultimate Lebron nuthugger when he was with the Cavs, then as soon as he moved to LA he was 'washed'

Remember when he claimed Baker Mayfield would leave a bigger legacy in Cleveland than Lebron would

It's what he's always done. And it's rather bizarre.

His BM nonsense was pure dumbfuckery at it's finest.

I would have assumed (or hoped) that after all these years he would stop being such a little c*nt

About 48 hours away.

Try to stay on a nice level plane lol

Yes, staggering them so that one of the two is always on the court is where they should start. Start both of course.

different players from Kyrie/Luca but pretty much how Cavs work it with garland and Mitchell.

[bksballer89]

Lol but can't answer the simple question about what he thought the nets did that was disrespectful

 

[dtgold88]

You all making me stick up for Kyrie lol

The Cavs were most certainly not better

The Celtics were

correct.....went just as far without him (well, 4-0 instead of 4-1) but we were not better. Part of the reason, of course, was the key part of the deal was a pick.

 

[dtgold88]

Yeah I’m really not sure.


They are already light at the 4 due to the gallo injury.

But yeah this seems like a tough spot to be in.

They should ask for okoro…

ask, but hoping the Cavs say no thanks.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

The players look really nice now yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeears later but on the Lakers? Nope.

Yea
And

Even now is Ingram ball Randle kuzma getting u a title

 

[dtgold88]

As much as I love Grant Williams...no thanks. Okoro is one of the best perimeter defenders in the NBA already and his shot seems to be coming along.

For a second I was thinking Love but he is probably washed and no salaries from Boston to match his salary. The C's don't need LeVert. I don't see any trade except for Okoro.

and I'm with you...Okoro certainly not close to untouchable but way he's playing I'm not dealing him for williams.

Granted, cannot expect the kid to shoot just under 60% overall and over 50% like he has for the last month for the rest of the year......but around 50 and 40 would be huge for this team with his D.

 

[dtgold88]

Eh....

I still can't place him over MJ

But that's just my personal opinion. It's so close i'm not going to argue with anyone that disagrees

Right...the only ones off the rails a little in this debate are those who don't even think it is a debate.

Yea pal you were tolerated alright

 

[bksballer89]

He got them lol

He is gone

 

[bksballer89]

 

[thunderc]

He got them lol

He is gone

He could have done the exact thing at the place he agreed to play at

 

[tlance]

Had they been patient, they would be better today for sure.

But they would have zero titles.

And actually I take that back because Lonzo and Ingram haven’t played much this year.

 

[trojanfan12]

The more likely scenario would have Irving requesting a S&T to the Lakers, but that won't work either. If Kyrie wants to get to the Lakers now, it would have to be via cap space.

I heard someone interviewed on Dan Patrick this morning (don't remember who) who said he thinks that, unless something better presents itself, they may just ride out the season with Westbrook, let him walk and then use the cap space to sign Kyrie and use the picks in another move or 2.

If they are set on getting Kyrie, that would make some sense. They can only trade those picks once, so if they're going to do that, they need to get it right.

 

[Shanemansj13]

He got them lol

He is gone

He still wants to go to LA

[trojanfan12]

I agree with LeGoat

Not sure I completely agree...but he's making it harder and harder to disagree.

I heard an interesting take on the LBJ/MJ debate.

Basically, they said that when talking about them, it's a more visceral reaction to MJ. With Lebron, people list the numbers he puts up. With MJ they just shake their heads and say things like "Man, he just killed people".

Hard to overcome a visceral reaction.
