The 2024-2025 NBA Basketball Season

so playing today is one team way below .500, 2 right at .500 and 3 barely above .500.

Prefers or demands. Does it really matter? I guess they could work it out in the end but I am not sure why they would. Butler is not getting younger and Miami would be better off going younger and getting the best package possible now

He didn’t even lie to be fair to shams. It was just a click bait article because in his article he states Jimmy didn’t demand a trade. I don’t know if it’s Jimmy ppl or shams but he’s been going out of his way to bring more attention to Jimmy trade rumors the last few weeks when nothing changed on the Heat side since the summer. Shams has not said a single thing that wasn’t known to the Heat fans/insiders in July

Fair not to say he lied, I guess.....but he is clearly throwing something out there for clicks as you stated. and if it doesn't happen there is no accountability.

Lebron not going anywhere it seems. No Mitchell stories to make up. Gotta have something/someone I guess.
Not just putting this on Shams, though.

Not sure if doable but maybe start allowing for Christmas Day games to be switched like NFL has done with TNF or SNF?

Though would they even switch them if they could as NBA loves them some big markets and/or stars.

They can’t see into the future. Only team I didn’t like were spurs and they aren’t that bad. They missed on not adding okc as I mentioned since the summer

True...if forced to pick when they do (and not change) not terrible choices. At least Spurs have allure of Wemby, I guess.

If you go back to the offseason thread everyone was happy except that they missed on okc. No time for Monday morning qb today. The games selections were much better than the nfl thanksgiving selection. Can’t control injuries (Philly) and teams not living up to expectations ( minny/phoenix)

Wemby putting on a show

 

[bksballer89]

lol not even a heat guy here

It really doesn’t matter what they do now, their free run on Christmas Day is over. The NFL could have Carolina Vegas playing today and on streaming and it would dominate. Honestly I don’t know what the league was thinking with the Spurs. It’s Wemby I know but the casuals they so desperately crave don’t care about one guy, especially a foreigner.

Knicks are one of the biggest teams. Had it been Spurs vs Wolves then I would get your point

Wemby vs Knicks normally would do good numbers on christmas just as Wemby vs Boston or LA. There is a reason why the Knicks play very frequently on Christmas day even when they aren't that good

 

[bksballer89]

FWIW I just turned off the NFL game and went back to Spurs/Knicks

There is the bullshit. Defender plays it perfectly, Brunson falling into the player. Doing this Trae shit and getting away with it still

Horrible call

Wemby taking too many damn threes… Fine player, sure.

But good lord you’re 7’5, still have some work to do in his development…

Shooting better of recently but still shooting 35%. 9 three’s a game is pretty ridiculous for a guy with his skillset and immense height and reach difference

I don't like it but hard to argue with 25/10/4 in year 2

Shouldn’t he be getting 15 boards a game in his sleep?

Easier said than done. He is often on the perimeter which eliminates a lot offensive rebounds opportunties and on defense, he isn't often guarding centers who live in the paint

He is special.

Already the most impactful defender in the league. Should get DPOY this year.

Just needs to work in offensive efficiency, shot selection and get a little stronger.

This dude going to win a lot of hardware.

MVPs, DPOYs.

Going to be fun to watch him build his resume.

Based on his age, his talent level and what he can already do?

Anything short of all time top 5 would be a disappointing career in my eyes.
