The 2024-2025 NBA Basketball Season

[Shanemansj13]

Could open up a spot for Portland. Hard to imagine Phoenix getting in the way they are playing. I don't think it matters, I would anticipate neither winning a play-in game

I think they'd be a "get to the playoffs healthy" type team that no one wants to play.

Problem of course, is you can't guarantee that and it would be a lot of lost money and assets for nothing if they don't win.

yep...just ask the Suns. And one of their top guys is still kind of young.

Maybe for a year or two, that’s it, and that’s a maybe. Dallas really screwed the pooch.

If AD and Kyrie didn't go down (along with all those other players) the trade would be a lot less of a debacle...the basketball gods decided to smite Dallas for their insolence LOL

 

[shopson67]

Just heard that.

Hard to imagine the season going worse for the Mavs.

Somewhere in Phoenix Ishiba sees this as validation of his team building.

They only all have to be healthy once the playoffs start....

You think any team would look forward to playing a team like that with 3 guys that are that good and have that much experience?

Just imagine them healthy and a 5-6 seed? Or let's see they a play-in team....not many going to want to face a trio like that.

It’s too late man, just too late

Possibly but I think a talented young team would run them off the floor

This makes no sense. Clearly the basketball gods favor the Lakers, as they should.

It’s not rocket science

Stupid fucking mavs deserve it, but Kyrie doesn't. What a shame. That could be it. He was an incredible baller.

It was his flat earth and we are all just living on it.

It’s thunder science

Kyrie with a torn ACL. That sucks

You could see it in that short explosive sprint he took near the basket and his leg went wiggy, floppin' around like a fish dying out of water. Then when he hit the floor, he wasn't getting up.

yep...just ask the Suns. And one of their top guys is still kind of young.

Beal, Booker and KD never was an ideal fit though. It was always kind of an awkward fit.

Irving, AD and KD is pretty close to a perfect fit. AD and KD don't require the ball in their hands like Booker and Beal do.

KD kind of does but Kyrie/KD/AD for sure a better fit.

The Luka injury and then after the trade, it wore down Kyrie. He isn't a guy that is going to play a ton of minutes with his injury history. It's too bad.

FUCK NICO
