The 2023-2024 NBA Season

[The Q]

He got bigger goals. I hate this new rule so much

I like it.

Was almost an unwritten rule before.

You miss that much time you shouldn’t win MVP.

I quite like it. Maybe change the parameters a little but it makes plenty of sense.

You're not an MVP if you only play half your games.

He’s lucky it’s 65

Should be 70

Finding a different way to lose to Boston and then force a trade there instead?

Agreed, strive to play more the next year. That should be everyone’s goal.

62 games works for me. Maybe even 60 possibly to make it a round number. Gives you the chance to miss 20 games.

The overvaluing is reaves is just a thing

He’s a role player

Is what it is

Pistons give up the two best players in the deal and they’re not long term contracts

But I’d try to keep reaves as the lakers obviously


Rui is a negative asset for me

I am not sure Burks is better than Reaves.

The prize is the first rounder and Christie really lol.

Tend to agree I wouldn't want Rui though.

Some good games tonight

Except it’s not half the games. I don’t think Halliburton playing 63 games instead of 65 should keep him from all nba. Trash rule

I like 58 or 60 but 60 is an even # so sounds better. Playing 78% of your games and not being eligible for post season awards is trash

Christie hasn’t been good this year

And he’s hitting rfa

I’d gamble as boston. And maybe det should since they have so many bodies who suck

But right now he’s not the asset he was 6 weeks ago imo

But I’d still buy him as any team. But it’s hard givenuo a ton of value for him,’especially with the new hate trades, hate teams actually trying to win tax

 

[The Q]

Missing over 20% of your season and being eligible for awards is also trash

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Except it’s not half the games. I don’t think Halliburton playing 63 games instead of 65 should keep him from all nba. Trash rule

But what if Dame, Brunson, Trae Young and Donovan Mitchell play the full 82 and achieve similar stats?

Why should one of them miss out?

It’s actually going to achieve an overall purpose for the players. More guys are going to be eligible for the super max because of it.

I honestly don’t have a problem with the rule. Only one MVP has played less than the 65 games and that was Walton some 50 years ago now. I just want the man healthy for the playoffs. It sounds like this knee is gonna be a thing all year so he needs to say fuck the noise and do what it takes to be ready to go and be dominant Joel Embiid in the playoffs.

We have to actually watch the games. I don’t think anyone think Trae actually been better than Halliburton so him playing a few more games than him shouldn’t change that

It’s not just the mvp I’m talking about. You can’t be a top 15 player if you missed 17 games? Yea I’m not buying that.

 

[bksballer89]

I can turn my ankle in October and miss a month of basketball and not miss a single game after that but I’m not eligible for any awards lol in what world does that make sense

Just what is necessary to shutdown the bullshit.

 

[bksballer89]

This team needs to make a trade so bad. Adjusting with the nba times would be a start in the right direction

 

[thunderc]

Shai with the up and under on Gobert, froze him. That one will be on the highlights.

It’s unnecessary. The guys who were missing 15-20 games wasn’t mainly due to load management with the exception of Kawhi. Other people always been hurt and teams are still finding a day off here and there because why am I going to run my guys into the ground. This is a 9 month season
