The 2024-2025 NBA Basketball Season

[logic]

If Banchero didn't get hurt for extended period of time, all 4 are all stars this season

you could extend that one more to Zion also if you are using the if he didn't get hurt disclaimer; but with Zion that is business as usual.

This tweet is so clearly about Ayton lol

I hate when people post things like this saying 'a certain guy'. Man up and name names.

I hate when people post things like this saying 'a certain guy'. Man up and name names.

And the person who they don't name never thinks it about them.

From everything I’m seeing it looks like the cap is going to be going up quicker in the next few years so hopefully it helps. I just think all GMs should have to work at real team building.

Some of that cap space will be eaten up by the max contracts already on the books that flex to keep a certain percentage of that cap, not a discrete predetermined number.

Might be the most shocking performance last night

Mavericks star Kyrie Irving is listed as doubtful for Wednesday night's road game against the Pelicans, although his intention had been to play both games of a back-to-back after returning from a five-game absence due to a bulging disc in his lower back.

They traded away what little draft capital they had for a backup center. Like literally all they have left is a 1st round. This franchise is wild.

EDIT: Read a piece on The Ringer this week and they're right. They'd be better off trading Kevin Durant this offseason. That team just can't keep all its people healthy and they have absolutely nothing draft wise to build in the future

1. Cleveland Cavaliers (33-5)​

Last ranking: 1
In the last week: W vs. OKC, W vs. TOR, L vs. IND
Offensive rating: 121.2 (first)
Defensive rating: 110.6 (10th)

Preseason win total: 48.5
On pace to win: 71

This Cavaliers team feels like Steve Kerr’s first Golden State Warriors team — that is, a playoff team that changed coaches and went from run-of-the-mill in their conference to league juggernaut. And like that 2015 Golden State team, it’s the offense that has been special. The Cavaliers were not known previously for overwhelming offensive performances. Now, they’ve hit 130 points 10 times already this season, after only four instances all of last season.


TheAthletic Power Rankings came out today.

Cavs, Thunder show a new way forward in rebuilt NBA

The superteams era is over. Deep rosters, versatile lineups and a relentless style of play are proving to be the best path to success.

great article about franchises that dont wallow in shit forever like the Wizards. lol.

So it went from “the second game of back to backs” to “back to backs”.

Got it

 

[WiggyRuss]

Anthony Davis and LeBron combine for about 50 pts, 20 rebounds, 12 assists a night, have both been healthy the majority of the time- and the Lakers are 3 games over .500

Not sure how the GM has held on to that job for as long as he has.

[DJ Fieri]

He is. But he also had a week off. This wasn't so much an age and rest thing as he was just playing dumb and lackadaisical tonight. He had 7 turnovers and plenty other plays he just gave up on. The whole team basically just gave up once the Spurs cut the lead. You just don't go from being up 10 late in the 3rd to losing by 20. That was lack of effort and lack of detail from them

Rob needs to make another deal, preferrably a bigger one.
