The 2023-2024 NBA Season

[msgkings322]

Yeah it helps not having a player on your team who got punched in the face and heart wasn't in it. Once Dray didn't want to clear the air then the season was over

It's not just that. Poole could get you a bucket but he could also get you a turnover. He was supposed to run the 2nd unit and he was crap. Paul runs it like a boss and so far seems very cool with his role

Lakers should have just sat Lebron out tonight. He is totally gassed on this b2b

Back to backs are ridiculous, and they need to end.
But I won't hold my breath on the league doing so.

Lol no

They play back to backs in hockey and baseball also

I'm talking about the NBA, dude....so don't be silly.

I really couldn't GAF about Hockey...haven't for many many years now.

Baseball is a totally different animal....162 game season, and bigger rosters for starters.

Kinda different in baseball though considering a lot of the game is just standing around

He knows that. He's just being silly.
I'm all for advocating for a shorter NBA season/reducing the number of games if that would mean putting an end to B2B games and finally putting a halt on the whole "load management" nonsense.

Christian Wood lowkey saved our ass that game. He's been a great signing so far

Warriors won all of ELEVEN road gAmes last year....already 3 for 3 this year

Sources: Clippers land Harden in deal with 76ers

The 76ers have agreed to trade James Harden, P.J. Tucker and Filip Petrusev to the Clippers in exchange for Marcus Morris, Nic Batum, Robert Covington, KJ Martin, multiple draft picks and a pick swap, sources told ESPN.

Warriors look totally different this year. Still early of course but last year they couldn't beat anyone on the road, this year no problem so far. CP3 is being a total pro, Moody is starting to emerge as a reliable 3rd or 4th scorer, Saric is a nice pickup, the bench is deep. But the main thing, and they won't talk about this, is Poole being gone. They tried to pretend it wasn't an issue but it really was, all season. Dray and he never fixed it and the vibe all year was messed up.

They might be a top 4 seed after all out of the West. Probably not winning more games than Denver but almost anyone else they could.

Poole got what he wanted

to be a trash player who puts up buckets on bad team.

His stat line this year is probably the most predictable thing I've seen in terms of seeing it being all bad in a while

Sorry @Mecca

Clippers get Harden, Tucker and Filip with an F (Pat Bev podcast)

Sixers gets Marcus Morris, RoCo, Batum, and KJ Martin along with 2 seconds, a 2028 first, a 2029 pick swap, and apparently there’s another first round pick coming from a third team. Sixers are cutting Danny Green to make room for the new players

Shit players coming back but two firsts is pretty solid. Now that Harden is gone there’s no longer need for his bottom bitch Tucker. Morey cleared an extra $22 million (11 per season) with Tucker going out as well.

Sixers got back $40+ million of expiring contract. In fact, not counting Maxey 102.8 million comes off the cap next season.

This is the very deal (2 first round picks a swap and 2 seconds was more draft capital than even I anticipated) that people here told me I was insane for saying Morey to hold out for. This was characterized as saying Morey was shooting for the moon and delusional.

We know who you are. The receipts are in this thread. If you’re a real man, you’ll step up and admit that you were wrong.

Finally, let’s all remember @Mecca in our prayers as she deals with this difficult news.

you gotta think they flip that 2028 pick for something right? or do play with what you have and add the FA next year?

Wonder how long it will be before Harden is upset in Los Angeles and demands a trade....

Optionality! The Sixers now have the ability to make moves. I would try to make a deal for Anunoby first. Sixers five would then be
Maxey Melton OG Tobias Embiid

Bench: Oubre, Pat Bev, BBall Paul, House, Jaden Springer.

If that doesn’t work and season wears on and Bulls tank you can keep the Clippers 40 million of expiring and send Harris and picks for Lavine.

The big thing is that the Sixers can now make some noise and they have the stuff to make something that makes Embiid happy and the Knicks can go and fuck themselves.

He’s on the last year of his deal. This is likely a rental for them.

Oh I know. I was being sarcastic.

His next stop will be China if he acts up with the Clipps.

As temperamental as he is he could be upset in a few months.
