2023 offseason thread

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.

Agree but I do look at it like it has to start somewhere. Let’s see where it goes.

The tech should count toward ejection

I think if you do that, officials will be more hesitant to blow the whistle. I want to see some shit where it’s deemed yeah that’s a foul so it’s two shots but we are sending the defender to the line for one because fuck your bull shit. But also…why are we trying to get talented people who entertain us kicked out of games?!?!? Da fuq? You Boston fans are weird.

Becuase it’s usually the role players doing the most flopping

Appears that Jalen Brown and the Celtics are a couple of miles apart on his new Max contract.

Rumors are that he wants an out option in 2025 and C's are saying 2026 at the earliest.

Most of the players who have gotten the Max have generally started looking for a new place to play after the initial year. It appearsthat Brad just might deal Brown if he can't get him to stay for three more years. He ain't letting him walk away for free after next year.

Brown to Portland for Lillard?? Brown to GS for Curry? Brown to the NY Knicks for Brunson and Randle??

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

Would be appropriate in every way. Harden has a lower salary and isn't on Dame's talent level these days.

 

[shopson67]

That’s a whole lot of yuck

Yet not too different from what they're offering for Dame...

Should, but can't. I don't see any way that rule ends up working with refs trying to call it on the fly. Those extra chances for challenges will be used on flopping calls, lol.
