2024 NBA Offseason

The biggest issue was Malone doesn't like to play young guys that aren't proven in his eyes so instead of giving his starters a break he would play 4 starters with a young guy in the lineup here and there causing everyone to be dead by the time the playoffs started.

Well, that and no Bruce Brown. A year later, now no KCP either. Those kids are going to need to step up.

I see Rudy got benched lol

Bad matchup for him. France went small to match up with Canada, using Lessort and Yabusele down low most of the game (and both were big contributors in the win). Wemby was on the perimeter much of his minutes.

Add them all up and divide by 4.

Average of a 7 seed.

...and all that means is that the higher seeds choked, were false contenders in the end.

All that matters is the last game is a W

Yep, can only beat the teams on your schedule. If supposed contenders fall short, that's on them.

That's what I don't get. Everyone is trying to always put asterisk on others' championships. I don't care if it was a strike season, a bubble, you feel the competition was weak. You don't get to choose the teams you play or the locations that you play. You can only play the teams on your schedule, where you are scheduled to play them, when you scheduled to play them and beat them in the series. Regardless of the conditions, it is never easy to win a championship and they all go in the books. Stop trying to lessen the accomplishment.

Winning a bubble season is not as impressive as winning a real season. Come on now.

Lauri Markkanen got the bag from the Utah Jazz. 5 years and 238 mill, including 220 in new money.

He will not be traded during the 2024-25 season.

The funny thing is you wouldn't be saying that if the 76ers had won it all in '20.

Well deserved.

Wamu, you are clueless. I didn't watch any of the bubble. I didn't care at all. Couldn't even tell you where the Sixers finished or who was on the team. It was very unimportant.

Accuse me of that shit again and you'll be wrong again. I am very consistent. I know integrity is a foreign concept to you.

Correct. It's more impressive. No home court advantage, essentially locked up in a compound for the duration.

If you didn't watch any of it, your opinion on it's value is moot.

 

[shopson67]

Well deserved.

To a degree. Is he the type of player to anchor your team? Averaging $55M after this coming $18M season is a lot for Lauri IMO.

At those numbers, he may be Jazz for life.

Agreed. Its value is moot.

Did they have to win all the series they were in in order to get the championship? And with zero home games, all neutral court.

 

[shopson67]

Agreed. Its value is moot.

The value of your opinion (and reading comprehension)? Absolutely.

It was the Sixer during the Embiid years, so 1st or 2nd round exit is assumed.

Neutral court, empty gym. Bizarre circumstances for sure.
