The 2023-2024 NBA Season

Oh my! Trouble brewing

Kerr doesn't have a contract after this year. With all the drama and Myers leaving it very well may be his last year, time to start over with just Curry and young guys. Let Kerr move on, keep Kuminga. Let Klay (unless he re-signs cheap) and CP3 walk (maybe trade CP3 to keep the salary slot). Maybe trade Draymond but maybe not, depends on the return. Trade Wiggins.

Roll with Curry plus Podz, Kuminga, Jackson-Davis and whatever you get for the trades. One way to go anyway. I'm fine with moving on from the dynasty era, that ship has sailed. A lot of this depends on how Curry feels about going that direction of course.

I don’t know the Clippers pick situation like you do. If they can trade a first, they are gonna have to part with it. If not, a 2nd and a pick swap should do it.

Goddamn….

I meant one or the other.

But, I like this deal better.

 

[The Q]

I tried to do Royce for Tucker on the ESPN trade machine and it didn’t work salary wise.

I’m confused because Royce is at a shade under 10 and Dump Truck Tuck is at 11.

I’ll check.

That doesn’t make sense but I know clips can’t add more than 10% in a deal. Maybe Brooklyn js also over the cap can’t match less than 10%

It’ll be just so sad to watch Embiid just straight disappear from the MVP race when he doesn’t hit the minimum games requirement….which he‘s currently on pace to miss.

Huerter been bad

That dude is living off of the brutal beating he gave Seth Curry in the playoffs. Again…Doc Rivers shit. He didn’t want to take his shooting off the floor but he was getting cooked by Opie time after time after time in that series.

Sounds like you want Joker to win by default.

He’s fantastic and doesn’t need help.

Huerter been bad

……and Monk has been COOKING fools.

Goddamn….

Yep. I like that a bunch for the Clippers. They get to replace the wing depth they lost in the Harden deal. Mann is the real prize here for the Nets. I think it’s a win win.

Moses Moody also not happy with role in Golden State

As long as he’s healthy for the playoffs, that’s all that really matters. I hope it comes to fruition that he plays 64 games. His play this year has been ridiculous. At this current pace he’s going to be far and away the best player in the league this year and miss the 65. The award will look like a joke and it will be clear the “winner” gets a perfect attendance award and Jo is the real MVP.


Huge win last night! What a shot by Jokic. Enjoy it. Jokic gets exalted to the top of the MVP list again for a game winner vs a bottom ten defense that’s 16-18 and an 11 seed. When Embiid puts up better numbers in 3Q because he beats the ever living dog shit out of an 11 seed with a bottom 10 defense he gets crucified and slandered.

Moody I'm less worried about, he is ok but not a starter level player IMO. Basically we're seeing what happens when things unravel. People start getting antsy, dissatisfied, etc. this should be a year of major changes

Yeah it’s time to acquire capital.

No, it’ll show that Jokic can play at an MVP level and be consistent. If Embiid doesn’t play 20% of the season how can he be the Most Valuable Player? If the biggest knock on someone is they can’t stay on the court(either by always being injured or load management) how is he the best player in the league? You’re an NFL fan, this is no different than a QB on pace for insane numbers yet only plays in 12/17 games. When’s the last time someone like that won the MVP?

The only tricky part is Curry. They won't and should not move on from him, he's their Kobe. He looks like he will play well for 2-3 more years, how do you build a contender in that window with a reset?

You cry too much about this though. It is what it is.

You can’t and you aren’t

I’m sick and tired of the man being shorted. It’s just sports. I’m making a sports argument. Lighten up Francis

Idk what golden state does

Even if they let klay and Paul walk they don’t have real cap space but could replace one with a nice mle

Trading moody and kuminga might open up more but where are they at then?

He still hasn’t been

Hasn’t happened yet

You can’t and you aren’t

Odds are probably not, sure
