The 2024-2025 NBA Basketball Season

With Hartenstein out for at least a week it’s going to become obvious pretty quickly that the Thunder need another big man for times like this. Jdub actually has pretty good numbers trying to play center but that’s just not a workable solution. Who ya got and what would it take? Let’s make a deal.

Dwight Howard is free

You never know, he may actually be tied up at the moment

You have the draft capital to get basically anyone

Those are nothing special

Literally every minute of every quarter

It’s better than the traditional home white and probably a top 2 vice uniform of the 4 they brought out. Most like the black better

Aren’t the Suns trying to give away Nurkic?

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

He got an extension after trading FOR Westbrook. He must have incriminating photos of the Buss family or something, it can't just be favor extending from his time with Kobe.

Until the recent solid trade for DFS, he has done little since that extension. He did decently dumping Westbrook, but even those pieces are all gone now (well, the promise of a Vando return still exists, but it's been a LONG wait that may finally conclude next week). DLo did net DFS, so that was decent value. Beasley has been great this year (after leaving the Lakers, where he was almost unplayable most of the time).

 

[shopson67]

That's exactly the thing they are missing. If they can get him without giving up much in terms of existing players, I put them right up there as contenders with the others.

They would have to match salary, so that's going to hurt a little.

That said, Booker is the one guy the Suns SHOULDN'T trade, unless they ready to completely blow it up (which doesn't sound like the new owner's MO). He should net a king's ransom.

 

[shopson67]

Not to mention all the teams they have to jump to get to the 3 seed

They were virtually there a week ago.

 

[shopson67]

I think the Warriors are cooked without a trade. Spurs and Kings with the new coach look better

Makes no sense to me that Curry and Green were talking as if the Warriors shouldn't trade draft capital as it would hurt their future potential to build the roster. They have control of virtually ALL of their future 1st rounders and a decent amount of 2nds If they're going the rebuild route, they need to start tanking (and/or trade Curry and Green). Hovering around the play-in doesn't help anything except waste a year of Curry.

They may have ended up with a title but not dealing those lotto picks was dumb also.

Exactly. Look like something like Will Ferrell would wear in Sem-Pro.

At one point it seemed they had done it right and bottomed out when they had injuries, but those picks just haven't hit. Even Podz from last year has taken a step back this season; his 3 ball has abandoned him.
