The 2023-2024 NBA Season

[Stakesarehigh]

So are you saying Luka can’t succeed without a talented roster? Welcome to the NBA. He can carry a team, they best that PHX team with a way less talent

You could say Brunson might never reach his ceiling in Dallas. Not a slight on Luka

they need another guy to hit a different gear

whether it be Green Hardy Williams or Lively. And it seems logical one of them will.

Kyrie and Luka haven't been on the floor together enough to make heads or tails of their fit but they've been decent enough

 

[Stakesarehigh]

I’d be trying to use him and sharpe to get a later later future pick



…for a Mitchell deal


(Sorry bro)

I was simply arguing that I hadn't seen Mitchell make any kind of complaint to want to leave


I get Cleveland isn't some awesome place to live but you spend half your time on the road and you can live wherever you want in the offseason. I imagine Donovan can swing 2 houses. I think he can squeak by

Come on man

Hawks would have to send 2 firsts. Bridges right now is Murray’s ceiling

It's just the basics of the trade, of course other pieces would need to be added.

Speaking the truth:

Steve Clifford discussing talent development in the NBA:

"You know how many guys there are in our league that can average 15 or 16 (points) and are no good? Their team never wins when they're out there." "Because they score 15 or 16 they stick around for five years and people say 'Wow, he must screw everything up as everywhere he goes when he's on the floor they lose'. "It happens all the time, that's why learning at a young age the coverage is the coverage, the set is the set, the after timeout play is the after timeout play. Knowing what a great shot is is everything in this league."

 

[The Q]

Speaking the truth:

It’s like he’s speaking about oubre without saying it

 

[shopson67]

He has an argument

But Kessler has a level of certainty right now that is hard to pass up.

Banchero is an all-star.

It’s like he’s speaking about oubre without saying it

...and Cam Thomas, and just about anyone from the G-League Ignite

 

[Shanemansj13]

Never mind. I never said that.

I'm just trying to figure out your point. Brunson was not taking them to a title. He was a nice sidekick for Luka

I do not see the Cavs making any moves. It is a deep team. It has defense, shooting, playmakers.

1. Mitchell
2. Garland
3. Allen
4. Mobley
5. Strus
6. Okoro
7. LeVert
8. Niang
9. Merrill
10. Wade

Adding the shooting has been huge- Strus doesn't have a great % but hes a threat. Merrill has been a great find and a sniper. Wade is playing better this year. Niang has done exactly what they hoped he would do.

Okoro has improved and is shooting better and playing great D. LeVert has been fairly consistent. Strus was a great add.

It will be interesting to see if this team can take the next step. They def. have the ability to get a top 4 seed--- maybe even better with the Embiid injury, some disarray in Milwaukee...

 

[Stakesarehigh]

...and Cam Thomas, and just about anyone from the G-League Ignite

dude. they all suck.

 

[shopson67]

dude. they all suck.

That team needs a real coach. Love Jason Hart as a former Syracuse player, but he's not the guy to prepare these kids for the NBA in short order.

I think if the Cavs can make some noise in the playoffs--- with how young this team is- with Cleveland offering him the most money- I think there is a very solid chance Mitchell re-signs. I mean right now the Cavs are the #2 seed (by percentage points) in the East- and when you look at it- its still a very young team.

Mitchell is 27
Allen is 25
Garland is 24
Mobley is 22
Okoro is 23
Strus is 27

the "elder statesmen" on the team are Niang at 30 and LeVert at 29. Merrill is 27. Wade is 27. Porter Jr. is 23. If this team stays together- especially those core 6 guys- I gotta think they only continue to improve as guys move into their primes.


Next 3 games are against the Wizards, Nets and Raptors. After that they go into the All Star break against the 76'ers, Bulls. Without Embiid- in those 5 games they could very easily win 4 of those games.

Winning streaks bring superfans out of hibernation

You need a fucking decoder ring to translate Sixers info. The most important information isn’t here. Was it a removal or a repair? The fact though that they are re-evaluating in 4 weeks lends itself to the procedure that requires less time for recovery. Or maybe not and that’s just the time table for re-evaluation.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Kuminga balls out again, dude has arrived and only 21. Unlike OKC the Warriors don't have a million young studs but they have that one

he is only 21 too. He was always more of a project that had great athleticism and was going to take some time. He is really starting to get it together- especially having a full time opportunity now.

At 22-25 I am not sure what the Warriors plan is moving forward though. Wiggins has fallen off the side of the planet. Dray has regressed. Klay has regressed. it is an expensive team that looks pretty mediocre-to-poor right now.

I have no clue what the plan is.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Sixers Warriors tomorrow night. Probably not going to win the game so it’s time to dial up some hard fouls on Kuminga.
