2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

[Wamu]

I would put the KD trade right there with the Kareem trade but I think the outcome will different how big it is. No championships? Makes it not look as big but right now it’s up there

You mentioned titles. Exactly. For it to be one of the biggest gotta win that trophy.

 

[DJ Fieri]

They don’t have an incentive to tank.

So they might as well build around the two wings they got from pho

Should’ve traded curry at least for more capital to pair with Harris’s expiring deal next year

Oh, I know.....I thought they could have gotten some talent back for some of those wings.....

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

If we don't improve....maybe it's time to consider trading James in the offseason.

Eh no....

The marketing the Lakers get just for having him on the team is worth tens of millions.

This is just clickbait BS. Every player knows the NBA is a business.

And not once did he "openly discuss" trading players.

 

[trojanfan12]

Yes. It is.

There are better ways to say "I'm straight" than saying something that's potentially offensive to another group.

I agree that the league overreacted to what was clearly a commonly used joke and the league should have just issued a warning.

But he wasn't fined for saying he's straight.

 

[DJ Fieri]

UCLA wasn't it?

Still are.

 

[msgkings322]

Yes. It is.

Q grow up

That’s literally what it means


So he really did

 

[DJ Fieri]

I like the Bulls +5.5.

Any Cavs fans want to wager?

Q grow up

Save the self righteous bullshit for the people who pretend to be offended by nothing

yep exactly and being upset after a game show he cares a lot

 

[msgkings322]

Only if the Suns reach the ultimate goal. If they don't win it all how successful is the trade?

I mean the talent level involved. A lot goes into winning ships including luck.

Yes, and literally everybody on here has said it was an overreaction, so I don't know who exactly you're trying to argue with.

You're just trying to claim something that is completely out of context.

 

[Wamu]

Imagine having to make an apology for just saying you’re straight

Is the Earth flat in your world?

 

[The Q]

Yes, and literally everybody on here has said it was an overreaction, so I don't know who exactly you're trying to argue with.

No.

That’s exactly the context he used it in

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

The same people were saying AD was pissed of at Lebron when he didn't cheer when Lebron broke the record.

Motherfucker, you're losing to the OKC Thunder. Of course he was pissed.

That's why the only things I follow on social media (mainly twitter) are from legitimate sources that don't go down the route of tween gossip magazine shit.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

No.

That’s exactly the context he used it in

Again, feel free to believe that. But you're wrong.

 

[Wamu]

No doubt about that. On paper KD, crazy K & Harden seemed great. Just an example of great talent gone wrong.

But the Suns are gonna be a handful in the playoffs. And wouldn't be surprised if they end up the favorites to win it all.

Don't follow them, what's their bench depth like?

 

[The Q]

Again, feel free to believe that. But you're wrong.

No. You’re wrong.

That's why I'm not convinced that's a real report.

When he was wanting the kiddie corps traded for AD, it was reported all over the place that he was wanting them traded.

That didn't really happen this year.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

No. You’re wrong.

That’s exactly the context

You're really going down the "I know you are but what am I?"

Pretty much everybody is criticizing you for this.

But i'm wrong....
