The 2024-2025 NBA Basketball Season

[Pastafazul]

Give me a fn break, good god. That series was as lopsided as it could have been and nothing was changing that.

DUDE, Minn should not have even been in that series if not for the injury to Curry

 

[shopson67]

Neither are truly available, especially to a team without the cap space to offer more than the MLE. They would need to outbid their current teams, who can go over the cap to retain them.

Luka

Garza

-11 -20


Was Brunson and KAT on court together vs pacers, vs Boston.

Tack on that 17 lead disaster in game 1


And somehow y’all say Thibs is not responsible for any of this? Lol

Pretty amazing Thibs got as far as he did with those 2 highly flawed defenders as his best 2 guys.

Figured you say this …

How many first round picks they give up for bridges

Hart , the timing of his bounds were insane, dude is Superman on the court OG is no slouch … Knicks are a very good team with a good coach , they need a coach who’s more creative , more risky …

 

[wildturkey]

Well they will have to replace the crew to f it up, those guys aren’t kissing anyone’s ass.

They don't have to replace the crew to fuck it up, that's Simmons point. It's how ESPN structures its shows that's the problem. All their preshow, halftime, and post-shows are loaded with commercials. Even with Inside keeping the same talent and production crew, if ESPN forces them into that same structure, it won't work.

Or….

Maybe they overachieved.

They have very good players. Unrealistic to expect another coach to take this group further than Thibs did.

You should charge a clairvoyance fee to your nuthuggers

They should be available for the right piece.

But I would guess Bucks could better rebuilder assets for Giannis.

So who is the target?

Cavs are in a bit of a tricky spot. Similar to where the Celtics were 2 years ago.

Might be the best course of action is to run it back with small tweaks unless they can land a superstar.

And I am not sure they can.

Heard a couple "rumors"...

Magic give up Suggs, Isaac, salary filler and 1st round pick ---- no thanks. Suggs is a better defender but more injury prone.

Twolves give up Mcdaniels, salary filler and picks --- I like Mcdaniels but he can't create like Garland. We saw how much it affected the offense with Garland out and nowhere near 100%

Allen is probably the guy they can trade. I love Allen and he is a very good big defender but he would be the one guy they COULD flip. New Orleans has coveted him for years. Murphy for Allen? N.O. most likely says no...throw in Okoro and a salary filler from N.O. New Orleans needs to make changes but I think Murphy is one of the guys they want to keep

They have about 19 million in cap, if they could move Fontecchio that jumps to 27.

I not sure Minnesota can give up picks until like 2035

Devin Booker trade proposal has Pistons fans salivating

The trade proposal that just won't die has fans of the Detroit Pistons dreaming.

Id do this.

Summary

Booker

For

Ivey
Harris
Fontecchio
2 firsts
2.2nds

Id probably limit it to one pick swap.

Booker is only 28 too. That isn't a bad haul to give up. Not sure PHX does that

Well Phoenix is going to pay the highest luxury tax this year and they didn’t make the playoffs. No telling what they will do but it’s doubtful it will be smart.

For Booker, Phoenix could probably get more. Harris and Fonte don't have much value. 2 1sts are nice but you'd anticipate Detroit being good so those picks would be in the back half of the 1st round. Ivey is nice, but can he be an all star? I'd say the Suns would say no

Forget Giannis, Houston needs to find a way to get Booker
