The 2024-2025 NBA Basketball Season

You're moving goalposts. All I said is he had an off game last night, making his likely MVP announcement tonight a little ironic due to the atypcial performance.

People complain about Lebron grifting for foul calls, which is ludicrous compared to Shai. Shai is in Brunson territory.

Why is that ironic?

Thunder won the game convincingly and SGA was a big part of it.

Thunder probably going to win the title.

Even the best of the best have off shooting nights occasionally.

Shams just said it’s official, SGA has won the MVP award.

Tampering

It’s not called tampering when the Lakers do it

You do understand that "I'm sure the Lakers have talked to him" does not mean the Lakers have talked to him, right?

I wouldn't expect Lopez to be at the top of their wishlist of bigs.

I expect they'll be more interested in Claxton or one the Mavs bigs. They want a lob partner for Luka.

I was being sarcastic. It’s clear every free agent is in contact with potential teams somehow or else those signings 1 min after free agency wouldn’t happen

Wasn't really talking about you. More the person who tweeted that and thunder.

I was more pushing back on the Lakers contacting Lopez.

Imo, unless it's some kind of backup role, they really shouldn't have a lot of interest in him.

As a starting center, he would be an upgrade over Hayes, but guys like Claxton or one of the Mavs bigs, would be better fits for what they want to do while also being an upgrade.

No doubt about teams already contacting guys...used to frustrate the hell outta me when Kupchak would be such a stickler for the rules and refuse to contact FA's before the exact time they're allowed to under the rules...by that time, most of the deals have already been made or are close. lol

Voter fatigue award

Nah. Well, maybe a little. Really couldn't go wrong with Joker or SGA.

But Joker does have 3 of them already. So that may very well have been a factor for some voters.

lol , you accused me of makin claims/predictions both ways so I could never be wrong…

Ya posted ya didn’t think OKC had the PS experience to win it all

Forget the irony let’s talk about hypocrisy


And you’ll probably be wrong again when the East takes it as I predicted. lol

Liar.

I did not say that.

I have always predicted OKC would win this year because they are the best team.

I said injuries or inexperience could be the 2 things that could cause them to fall short.

But I have always picked OKC.

Know one thing, if anyone ever says anything about the Lakers I am never going to do anything but escalate the situation. Just how it is lol.

Lopez isn’t very good either. No need to tamper over a scrub anyways lol

The lakers are looking for someone with a pulse to help them one more year for Lebron. Lopez would be good.

He’s not the typical center Luka connects well with but still would be a solid fit. Can stretch the floor and block some shots
