2023 offseason thread

[The Q]

Preseason videos of him working on his jump shot are not doing it anymore? This year he means it!

I thought he was trying to play for team Australia and it was the nets who shut him down…


That’s….kind of a good sign?

For Australia yes

 

[fightinfunbags]

the only reason it’s currently a request and not a demand is he doesn’t have to be there tomorrow.

He has zero leverage. It could become a careful what you wish for thing. It could become like sending McNulty to the boat in the Wire.

Miami snaking harden for less than dame would be hilarious for so many reasons

Miami and Philly don’t really matchup.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Speaking of, will be interesting to see if at any point in the next 2 seasons Simmons realizes hey I might need to try some things to get another contract.

Put me in the column of Ben getting back to being a 15,8,8 guy again next season.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Miami would offer Lowry, Robinson and a few 2nd rounders for Harden....LOL.

That’s a whole lot of yuck

 

[DJ Fieri]

I know.

They aren't giving you what for him....they will simply wait to get Dame.

You really think so?

These might be the best 2 current follows in the nba

Took them long enough regarding the challenge rule change but i approve of both

I do. I think he has it in him. I’m still rooting for his talent to come forth.

The tech should count toward ejection

No.

Flipping not nearly the problem some on here make it out to be.

Not enough

No reason to stop at 2.

Get unlimited challenges until you get 1 wrong.

Coaches will still be judicious in how they are used because they need to have one at the end of the game.

I would have preferred one challenge in each half, but this works too

 

[The Q]

No.

Strong disagree

Guys like ginobili shouldve been tossed regularly for making a mockery of the game


Which I believe is tech worthy in most rule books

I agree but this is better than the crap they been using the last several years

Yeah same and make the max challenges you can use per half as 2. Had they done this then teams would have a maximum of 4 challenges to use assuming they win their initial challenges in each half.

Next step now is to add more things coaches can challenge such as non calls. Right now you can only challenge fouls if it is called a foul on the court. I want to challenge if i see my guy is hit on the wrist and the refs miss it

And as per usual, your opinion is way over the top

Flopping has been part of the game for a long time. Players who are best at it get rewarded with free throws.

Players who suck at it give a free throw to the other team.

That is perfect balance.

Trying to embellish contact to get an officials whistle is and will always be part of the game. And it should be.

This is just a rule to penalize the blatant stuff.
