The 2024-2025 NBA Basketball Season

[DJ Fieri]

Yep

Bruce Bowen, Tony Allen. Never a defensive player of the year award. Generally goes to bigs

Yeah, it's pretty rare when a non big gets the DPOY.

Lebron about to play the most games ever but hes soft...lol. no logic whatsoever.

MJ takes off damn near 5 seasons and hes a God in the eyes of his homers.

Homers for MJ? My gosh dude that’s stupid. Some of us have eyes and were there.

 

[DJ Fieri]

You're making one stretch coming off a groin injury at age 40 as evidence that he's soft? You're better than that....unless you have an agenda.

Yep.....LOL.

(cough)Shai(cough)

SGA wasn't close to a superstar when he was dealt....

11ppg, 3.3apg, and 3rpg was no indication he would be a superstar......like at all.

 

[shopson67]

He was not a superstar when he was traded not close really. They got outsmarted, period.

Add in 2 firsts and 2 swaps with Shai (drafted 11th the year prior) for a guy with little postseason success is sketchy even if Shai doesn't blow up.

They thought it would create a title, I don’t see how Dallas could ever make that argument.

It was his rookie year getting 8 shots in 26 minutes.

Not saying it was worse, just another questionable trade.

Yes homers for MJ in the sense he can do no wrong and the NBA is just this transient wasteland now.

But yes they conveniently ignore he took 5 seasons off.

Let us not forget Lebron is in year 22 of NBA action. Jordan played 14 basically.

It says something about him as a player that he took those "5 seasons off" and is still considered by many too be the GOAT.

Yeah nobody thought shai would become what he is now

I disagree. Dallas can win a title but the window is much smaller than it was with Luka. They are working with probably a 2 yr window at most

He was an amazing player. I just can't understand people calling Bron soft. 22 years of wear and tear and the most playoff games ever.

Soft.

Absurd.

Oh, I agree with you on that.....was just countering the MJ took 5 seasons off stance is all....

What I meant was I don’t see how they could ever say it gives them a better chance than they had.

No way that is the case

 

[DJ Fieri]

Pretty good win by the Lakers last night.

Bron, Luka and Reaves is a really nice trio.

Well, AD is a damn good post player so....

So? They had most of the things he brought, just not in one player. They gave up a real chance with how they were built.
