The 2024-2025 NBA Basketball Season

I think he fits better with OKC.

Cleveland already has better versions of what he brings. OKC’s depth is more defensive role oriented than offensive.

Cavs don’t have the assets. Thunder would have to give up one of their young players. It doesn’t make sense with how Joe is playing.

Cavs better versions? Other than Wade, the Cavs have a lot of shooting guards, undersized wings that can defend and shoot. Wade is the only true wing or 4.

OKC make sense bc they have assets. They don’t make sense bc their guys are playing well and still young. No reason to break it up.

Cavs make perfect sense fit wise. They don’t have the assets.

Yeah, maybe you are right about that.

My point is that I believe OKC could use another scorer more than Cleveland can.

OKC is going to make a decent sized move. Only question is what will they do.

And they have so many picks that I think they could get it done without giving up a rotation player.

Don’t forget they have Topic who I think should be a priority target for teams like Brooklyn.

I knew the comeback was not coming when I switched the game on once the Bills game ended. Sunday should be the whites, but they were on the road. Anything but those LakeShow jinxes lol.

I hate that they don't wear gold as much as they should and I really hate they seem to be cutting back on the Sunday white tradition.

Mavs shit one away in Charlotte…

That's the problem though.

If he doesn't play, they don't make the playoffs, but at least he's healthy enough to enjoy his vacation.

If he does play, they make the playoffs, but based on his history, he won't be healthy enough to get them to the finals.

I assume that getting PG was supposed to give them enough to get to the playoffs while resting Embiid...but he's almost as injury prone as Embiid.

And then he's healthier the next year. There is no downside to trying to have a healthy Embiid in the playoffs. It's the only thing that matters. There is no upside to getting there if you don't have him once you do.

I definitely think Presti drafted Topic with that in mind. Similar to what he did with Micic.

He turns 31 in 2 months.

6ers window is closed dude. Time to face that.

No Mobley again. No Okoro and LeVert. Good 1st half though. Suns finally healthy

Watching the game? This guy painting the upside down picture of MLK. Seen him before but always cool to see again.

Have you seen the guy that paints those upside down pictures? If not it's pretty cool.
