The 2023-2024 NBA Season

I'm sure Giannis vouched for Dame too

Be my guess too....sometimes even players get caught up in name over fit.

Here’s another wrinkle….

Nobody is giving Brown 20 mil per this offseason.

Lakers shouldn’t trade for a guy like Miles Bridges because you don’t have his bird rights to retain him.

But, with Brown, you can finesse him with….. 3/40 or 3/45…because it is lower than his incoming salary.

He is worth mid level money.

Indy overpaid massively because they had to.

I’m taking Brown at 15 per over D Lo.

And it is possible to get Brown and somebody else.

But, I do prefer Murray. Obviously. Just doubt we get him.

 

[dtgold88]

You cannot move Garland unless you get a commitment from Mitchel. Just can't

also possible Mitchell likes playing with Garland...he did seem really happy to come here knowing he, Mobley and allen were stayin.

 

[dtgold88]

I love the Minivan but he's a huge liability in the playoffs.

OK...but he's a shooter we badly needed.

Absolutely.

I’m looking down the road too.

Who would you want to pay for the next 3 years?

Dejounte is obviously 1st.

But, for me….Brown at a more reasonable number is #2.

You are gonna have to pay D Lo again this summer or next.

Nah.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

And Russell could decline his player option, @ducky.

Lmfao

In what Universe?

Okay, sure….

He could turn it down to get a longer deal.

Otherwise?

Nah

 

[eaglesnut]

I mean, won-loss records sometimes give us a gauge on how good or bad a team might be.

It's about the talent and the toughness. The Heat are a better 8 than they have out west, for example.

Lmfao

Mark and JVG got fired for nothing.

There replacement might already be in the wind.

Nah.

Totally get it.

Right there with you.

 

[DJ Fieri]

5 game stretch be damned.

LOL.

they really did change their whole offensive approach---- its all spacing and 3's now - adding STrus, Niang and the unlikely emergence of Merrill has given them a lot of 3 pt. shooting.

they have played more inside-out through Allen as well.

Their offense just totally became stagnant last year in the playoffs basically just playing pick and roll - each taking turns between Garland and Mitchell- it is a totally different offense now- and still has a very good defense anchored by Allen.

Itll be interesting to watch- they have to figure out a way to keep the 3 pt shooting going while integrating Mobley- Garland will actually help that.

And it is possible that this way of playing will stick and they will become a much better team. The challenge with relying on perimeter shooting is that it is fickle and tends to get shut down more easily in the post season.

But we will see how it goes.

Why is KD arguing with random Clippers fans on Twitter?

More people gonna know him now

@bksballer89

Who he (play for)?

Shaq not gonna like this….lol

 

[flyerhawk]

OK...but he's a shooter we badly needed.

Yup. I get why he's helping. When he's hitting his 3s at a high clip, it's great. You can live with his poor defense.

She married a pastor?

Well, I guess she needed to be really close to the Lord......LOL.

OK....but the Heat are currently tied for 6-7. so?

I'd say Dallas and LA are much better 8-9 teams than Orlando and the Bulls.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

This is how you do twitter correctly.

LMAO

Using his own graphic is boss shit.

Depends what you mean on "relying on perimeter shooting". Just bc they attempt more doesn't mean they are relying on it, it could mean they are getting better looks bc of great ball movement which seems to be the case this season especially with the key injuries.

Last season, 7 of the top 10 teams that led in 3 PT attempts made the playoffs. CLE was 24th.

This year the Cavs are 12th with 5 more 3 pt attempts than last season. 7 of top 10 teams are likely headed to the playoffs again. Boston is #1.

Meanwhile, amongst all this hustle, bustle and bullshit. Some teams continue to get better organically, at a very high rate of speed.
