The 2023-2024 NBA Season

[DJ Fieri]

So many fanbases

But FB is the cesspool of bad sports talk

It really is.

 

[DJ Fieri]

I actually saw someone suggest the Hawks take Bronny first lol.

Lebron isn't even worth the top pick at this stage. Maybe 3 years ago.

Clutch Points had something saying take Bronny #1 and Bron will go to the Hawks.....LOL.

I was in a group called official Lakers Loyalty....

Some moron posted the Lakers need to go get KD and I think Giannis....mind numbingly dumb. Like they have no clue the Lakers don't have the trade chips, not to mention there is something called a salary cap.

SMH.

Bronny was on fire at the combine.

Was nailing his treys.

Valencias is possible if he’ll take the full mle

Centers could get squeezed out

The Lakers stuff and anything with Lebron is always the worst.

That is the highly highly highly optimistic version lol

Fisher was a 37 percent 3 point shooter in college 20 years ago.

I think he gets more than the MLE...

I’m fine with a spending a second rounder on him due to the low hit rate

We don’t really know how good he is due to the medical issue really taking him out for 6 months

Usc was so dysfunctional that they tanked eveyone….you could be betting on real structure helping him too

I want the Celtics ti snipe him late in round 2 to call lebrons bluff…

The market is weird and the teams who have massive cap space mostly don’t need centers

We shall see then.

I wouldn't mind bringing him in.

Well yea late 2nd is whatever anyway

We have people talking him in the 1st to lure Lebron.

Giving him a guaranteed deal is malpractice

Not if it lures LeBron it isn’t.

Taking him in the 2nd isn’t luring LeBron unless they give Bronny a guaranteed deal anyway.

Which means too 40 pick or so

But there’s no guarantee it nets Lebron yet

Bos doing it would be hilarious though

Not sure they need another guy on the sidelines and a huge salary. Position and length, absolutely. NO doesn't want to pay him and that is just too steep. JA is on a great contract.

Mobley and Ingram would be up for a contract in 25-26 so that means Mitchell will get max, Ingram will likely want max and Mobley will get max. Not even possible and you don't do this if Ingram is a rental. I think the main issue is his injury history.

BI's injury history is a tough sell for sure. This season was the most he's played since his rookie year, and it was still only 64 games. Once he became a full-time starter, he has missed stretches of games to injury

Does a lesser role (as a 2nd option under a dominant 1, or even as a 3) keep him healthier? Can you bet on that to give him that extension? How much will that extension need to be?

Definitely some risk in trading for him, but the trade cost should be lower if the Pels accept that fact (and that is the reason they would move him). Building your team around Ingram and Zion will age your front office prematurely lol.

If you can get him for 2 firsts it’s still a steal Imo

Lakers fans, y’all bout to draft a midget SG..

From that perspective, one of James' measurements immediately jumped out. The 19-year-old was deemed to be 6"1½" tall without shoes, which is noticeably lower than the 6'4" he's listed at for his USC bio page.

He's seeking endorsement from this shoe company...
