2024 NBA Offseason

[trojanfan12]

LOL. James is back to his usual antics, Says son's statistics don't matter. Bronny had a pedestrian 4 points. Methinks maybe alot of NBA contemporaries are waiting for the day this dude retires. Maybe.

LeBron James says Bronny's summer league stats don't matter

Lakers star LeBron James said the only thing that matters this summer for his son Bronny is "stacking days" of training, practices, studying videos and games.

And Dalton Knecht shot 3-12. Clearly, he sucks too.

Or maybe...it was the first game of summer league?

 

[trojanfan12]

Yep summer league is not a good product

I watch just because it's basketball...don't really take much from it though. If there are rookies who are expected to be on the roster, I look for how they move on the court, effort on defense and if they look to make the right play.

Wonder where this leaves Ingram? New Orleans might just extend him. Doesn’t mean he will be there forever but at least at the start of the season. Sac chose Derozan over Ingram. Half the price

 

[trojanfan12]

DeRozan to the Kings finally closes down all the talk about the Lakers and yet another FA. Tired of reading and hearing about that one.

Why? It's only been an off season rumor for like 5 years now. lol

But….zero spacing

It’s like they watched the Celtics and said, no no, that’s way too successful

Desperation move.

Keegan Murray and Monk can’t shoot? Spacing will be fine

Fox is also a volume 3 pt shooter as well.

I think defense will be the issue but it’s not like it wasn’t an issue before. Fox is pretty solid defender but the rest kinda meh. Their offense will be ridiculous again

Give it a rest. LeBron is one of the 2 greatest players in history and you got to watch him play, especially on your own team where he wins you a ring. I literally do not understand LeBron hate.

And his “contemporaries” almost all love and revere him

Castleton kinda sucked though. That's way more concerning. 2nd year SL players should look dominate. He looked pretty much the same as he did last year.

 

[wildturkey]

Spurs making the play in. Mostly because Wemby is an unstoppable force but also because Spurs actually have some talent around him now

 

[Shanemansj13]

Praise the king. He took a paycut

 

[Mebert]

Praise the king. He took a paycut

Condolences to Perk

A whole bunch of folks climbed on this bandwagon, apparently.

Klay Thompson's sign-and-trade with Mavericks turns into first 6-team trade in NBA history

Six teams, five players, five draft picks, one pick swap and two teams receiving hard cash. Only in the NBA.

www.yahoo.com

In addition to cash, the Nuggets also got a 2025 second round pick from Charlotte(via Philadelphia) that isn’t listed on that trade.

A pick I’m sure they’ll throw in in a trade for Westbrook if it happens.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Windy went off on PG.

"This is the 3rd time has been dealt in the offseason. I am not ready to say he is the reason he is the changing of the guard."

Paraphrased him.

 

[DJ Fieri]

At this point it is what it is. I have to think Laker fans are past ready for it all to be over.

Yep. But, scoring is just one aspect of the game.

Knecht showed he can pass, he had 4 assists. And 2 steals. The kid may be more than just a shooter and scorer.

Yeah.

DD is a better player but Barnes could make the outside shot. Looks great on paper but we shall see. Not sure it's much of a difference maker in the WC. Marginally better.

At least they kept Huerter as the designated gunner.

Congrats on Saric. That was a solid pickup and RW would be a solid get too. Not much defense but experienced vets to fill out the bench.

It is 1 summer league game. Means less than nothing.

But Knecht is an older rookie playing against 19 year olds and players not good enough to be in the league.

He should be one of the top 10 or so players in the entire summer league based off his age, experience and the reasons that he “fell” in the draft.

There isn’t much positive about that stat line.
