2024 NBA Offseason

[DJ Fieri]

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.

I know. Nerves played a factor I am sure.

And I said he may be more than just a shooter and scorer....not definitely.

And I am saying 4 assists and 2 steals against inferior competition is not evidence that he is more than a shooter and scorer.

I’m saying no one of note is going to play for your team until Lebron is gone.

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.

Exactly. You want to see your roookies look like they belong. Missing shots isn't that big a deal. But showing that can handle the faster speed of the summer league, compared college, is important.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Kings gonna try to win like it’s the 80s

You're not kidding.

That is a good point.

 

[DJ Fieri]

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.

That's a complicated deal to make...

LOL.

Can I add a small caveat?

No one of note will sign up to be the King's cupbearer for a substantial payout.

Before he originally signed with the Bulls, and during this year's free agency period, Demar was interested in signing with the Lakers.

He just refused to do it for half the salary.

Russ acting like he is still part of the Thunder. Apparently he was one of the first to reach out to Hartenstein and told him to let him know if he needed anything.

Yeah part of what I meant, they are obviously hamstrung in multiple ways until this plays out.

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

Leave that man alone.

He can't have an opinion?

* waits to see if anyone notices my stance is solely based off the fact that I LOVE watching Laker fans cannibalize their own *

Condolences to Perk

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I expect Russ now

They don't want to trade for him.

They are waiting for him to get waived or bought out.

 

[thunderc]

Such an awesome scene, some true legends in that one. Murphy and Pryor were awesome together, but Reese and Foxx? Please.

Robin Harris, Charlie Murphy, punk ass Arsenio Hall, Jasmine Guy, Michel Lerner, Danni Aiello....

What a Cast.

 

[thunderc]

You got me laughing thinking about that movie. Remember Arsenio Hall crying after he shot Jr in the back of the head?

 

[ElPatron1]

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.

www.yahoo.com

He is consistent tho lol Close to his college averages...

They need to do a jordan son vs lebron son and see who is better at this point ha

This vid is self-explanatory. AS a Laker, he has gotten better, but I wonder if this is considered to be James Hate or maybe cannibalizing my team's players? I don't recall seeing other GOAT's do this with the same frequency throughout their careers.

 

[DJ Fieri]

This thread could use a dad joke.

Cmon man.

Michael Jordan literally invented the superstar step.

There is some old footage of the Dream Team on a bus and Magic is joking about how can’t breath on Michael or it is a foul.

It is a funny joke, because there is truth behind it.

And the honest truth?

Superstars like LeBron and Shaq actually get fewer calls then their peers because they are perceived to be strong enough to absorb more contact.
