2022 NBA Offseason thread

Reach in boxing is good and all, if you have the footwork to take advantage of it. Lebron in this case would not have that. Furthermore, Tyson could still likely land head shots, but body blows are extremely valuable as well, especially going into later rounds.

Completely understood, which is why he would only have a glimmer of a chance only due to the vast difference in size. Still a huge advantage to Tyson in terms of ability and power.

When that pick becomes Potapenko, the cost ends up minimal. The bigger cost is the lost opportunity with that #12 pick.

The Celtics traded a top 10 pick for him….kill me

The Celtics interest in KD is interesting. What Dan Patrick reported as the offer seems light. I would think the Nets would want Tatum and Brown.

Nah man. We keep forgetting Durant is nearly 34 years old.

Tatum is arguably almost a good a player as Durant on his own.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

The huge disparity in height and reach is the only reason Lebron has a glimmer of a chance. Tyson is almost a foot shorter. Tyson's reach is 71", Lebron's is 84". As long as he's not hitting below the belt, Tyson would have to focus on body blows.

Tyson has beat the shit out of boxers near Lebron height.

You don’t ever pass up on the opportunity to land a superstar over depth concerns.

Ever.

Injury? Chemistry? Price to acquire too steep?

All legit concerns.

Not depth though.

Depth is replaceable.

He is 34 and has played in 90 games since he signed with the Nets.

Another reason Boston doesn't need to trade the house for him.

Considering Kemba or Isaiah Thomas is akin to trying out Shabazz Muhammed IMO.

The Lakers worked out Muhammad recently.

There would be no later rounds. Tyson would take out James in the 1st, maybe the 2nd if James is on his bike.

Can't disagree with this at all.

M hmh

Can't disagree with this at all.

Tyson in his "prime" fought Lennox Lewis...who is 6 foot 5. Are we arguing 3 inches makes a bit of a difference?

His height would be useless.

Tyson would hit him with a body shot, 'Bron doubles over and Tyson comes in with an uppercut that knocks 'Bron the fuck out.

That would definitely take care of that height issue that was brought up earlier.

"Boston reportedly offered Jaylen Brown, Derrick White and a draft pick for Durant, but the Nets also wanted Marcus Smart, more draft picks and potentially one more rotation player."

Boston offered 1 draft pick? LOL.

 

[DJ]

I used to really love boxing. Now, I'll watch if there is a really good fight on.

Prefer MMA.

Fucking prima donna's.

Think KD and Irving eventually get dealt in a huge 3-4 team deal.

 

[trojanfan12]

lol @Lebron vs. Tyson.

Tyson Fury is 6'9" and prime Mike would knock him out. Lebron would have zero chance.

Yep.

Fury is good but Tyson would have knocked him out in 5-6 rounds.

Saw memes come out on "Explaining how person on the left could beat up the person on the right". Having to explain how Daniel Cormier could beat up Mike Tyson is fun.

Yeah.....Cormier would have ground and pounded Tyson.
