The 2023-2024 NBA Season

[thunderc]

It was hypothetical anyway but if you are trading for a superstar-the other team is getting a Paul George type of offer or close to it

Thunder don’t need a superstar, we have one and soon to be 3.

Getting way ahead of yourself here

And the Thunder are getting a new arena as well for the three superstars to play in!

The pen is blue !!!

Yea. J Dub looks nice and we joke on Kawhi Jr but at this point he doesn't project to be that kind of defender (not that most anyone is)

We are talking arguably the best player in the league here. Not some borderline all star.

A few years away but yes

Yup, it simply can’t be argued that giving up one of their big 3 is for sure going to help the team. So it’s not happening.

Unless you trade Jalen to the Cavs of course. This will help the team

I probably should have said we have 1 and 2 more in the bullpen. But I watch these guys every game. No exaggeration, Jdub has the highest ceiling of the bunch.

I guess Minny is just stupid then lol

Yeah we’ve already seen in deals since Gobert that deal being treated as an outlier and not indicative of the real market value on player trades.

A few years away but yes

Yet, the voters approved it as a component of a larger downtown renovation project.

You hope.

 

[fightinfunbags]

they were even though its working now.

It looked really bleak last year

The fit is sound as we see now but it’s still an overpay for what Gobert brings. He’s a one way player.

Agree to disagree, I would welcome any comparisons between the 2 at this point in their careers.

Most of the players they were counting on for the rotational players around Lebron and AD have missed signifiv=cant time.

Rui has missed 14 games.
Reddish has missed 16 games.
Vincent has missed 46 games.
Vanderbilt has missed 22 games and now is expected to miss several more weeks and maybe the rest of the season.

So pleasse, continue to show us how little you know.

As for "extra enthusiasm" all of the greats have had extra enthusiasm playing in MSG. From Wilt to Kareem, to Bird, MJ, Kobe...they all bring a little extra there because many consider it a basketball mecca.

Amazing how the Knicks are supposed to be your team, but you somehow don't know that about the arena they play in.

So why is it that none of them want to want to play 41 games here?

With such enthusiasm I would Imagine that the ultimate goal of winning it all would be easily attained, isn’t that that what it’s all about, yes or no?

That’s been going on for over 20 years. It’s pretty amazing what’s been done and there is more to come.

Speaking of really exquisite stadiums in downtown areas. The Allegiant Stadium of the Raiders in downtown Las Vegas is a magnificent structure right next to I-15. Tom Brady is def proud!!

I always liked this piece even if you're not a Simmons fan.

updated a few weeks ago

He sees Embiid in 11th interestingly enough

Much more likely to be a bridges type

But fair

It only matters what he becomes. If he straight lines he is still a very good player. If he does progress every year he can be a ridiculous player. It depends on a lot of things though. It is sometimes head scratching why some guys do not progress to their full potential. Some of it not their fault, some of it work ethic-work ethic is big but they need everything to go right for them too.

I wouldn’t trade Jalen unless you trade him to the Cavs
