2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

Yep.

I like the add of Beasley and Vanderbilt more than Russell to be honest.

Agree.

But, teams can’t sag off of D’Lo like they did with Westbrook.

If he stays in his lane, he can give you spacing.

Ham just needs to get it into his head that Pat Bev needs to go to the bench.

right- no one in the West is that good.

The Grizz could take a jump if they make a move.

Honestly- if I was to put my money on anyone in the West right now- with a gun to my head- I would prob. take Golden State if they are healthy in the playoffs.

Nuggets are def. interesting- its wide open, and they are due- and Porter and Murray are healthy and both are just getting more acclimated after injuries.

Grizz are falling apart. They’re not adjusting to expectation that comes with success.

 

[trojanfan12]

Nah, we can use that for somebody else.

I think that was her point.

 

[WiggyRuss]

With the way these trades are going for the Lakers, you’re likely to Beal for that.

the Wiz are insane. I have no clue why the keep Beal. His contract is somewhat moveable right now. As soon as he slows down at all- that contract is going to be rough.

We have seen where just about any contract can be moved- but if they want to get value for Beal the window is closing. The Wiz just seem to have no plan what-so-ever.

I can see it now, Lakers going to pick Russ back up on the cheap.

they are still so young. They are not there yet. They are ahead of the Cavs on the natural progression- but they still have maturity issues.

Cavs have major maturity issues. They have lost- I am not joking- maybe 10 games they had no business losing this year because they just lose focus. It is what happens with young teams and why young teams so rarely go far in the playoffs.

I do not want the Cavs to make a deal really unless its on the fringes. I think the only thing the Cavs need is time- and they have that.

Bev and Walker need to be traded plus the other 1st....if we keep Bev? Yes.

Start Schroder with Russell..

Nba rules no longer allow that

They’re just a garbage franchise honestly. I feel bad for their fan base.

I feel as though I deserve better.

Better from you…..

Better from the Universe….

Better from the Basketball Gods……

WESTBROOK IS GONE! LET'S US REJOICE!!!

This is truly the end of an error*

From Lakers, to GSW to MIN - now back to the Lakers. Each time it seems he has lost value despite inching closer to his prime.

He is a talent but there are definitely questions about his head. Conley is such a better fit there. He will get Edwards and Towns in the right places and provide badly needed leadership. Gobert will be thrilled to have Conley too.

Very good deal for Twolves if you ask me.

Damn

Their leader is fucking around with gun play after the game! It’s not about basketball for them right now. They’re peacocking like they’ve done something. If I’m being honest, it’s next level Embiid/Simmons shit. Embiid needed Jimmy Butler to speak some truth to him about how it’s done and he’s been an MVP candidate ever since. JA doesn’t have that influence yet.

He knows that.

I can see it now. It's the Western Conference Finals. Kawhi and PG are cooking the Denver Nuggets in Game 7. Then Russell Westbrook takes over in the 4th and the Nuggets win by 20

 

[WiggyRuss]

Russell Westbrook for Harrell, Kuzma, KCP, a first round pick. Probably LeBron's worst trade.

 

[Mebert]

Good lord Timberwolves front office is just pure shit
