2021 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: Media Day...SHENANIGANS

[atlsfinest]

I know everybody likes to say the world has caught up with the US, but I don’t know if that’s true. Besides Jokic and Doncic, the rest of the world has role players. The US is home to the stars/best players. Spain is washed.

I think Canada could be a threat to the US if they ever decide to put together a serious team. Their rosters are always half assed.

I think the gap is certainly smaller but I agree that the world hasn't caught up. Look back to the 92 dream team and you'll see that they were playing other teams with either no NBA players or at most 1-2 NBA players on their rosters. Now they're playing teams with 5-6 guys who are either currently or have been in the NBA. That's certainly A sign that the world is getting better.

Not to mention that the early dream teams of 92 and 96 won most of their matches before the ball was tipped. Other teams were in awe of seeing Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Shaq, etc. They would go out there and blow teams out by 60 and opposing players would ask for pictures and autographs because they know they'd never see those stars again . Now top NBA players are teammates with the best players from other nations.

Bron carries around a book but doesn’t actually read it smh

He probably buys the book and then secretly buys the audiobook version.

Will Dennis Schroeder even be in the NBA this season?

 

[pums]

The past 3 MVP’s have been international players. The runner up last year is international in Embiid . The betting favorite to win it next year is also international in Luka.

Three out of the five players on 1st team all-NBA are international players. That would be unfathomable 25-30 years ago.

We claiming Embiid. He came over here and got game. Homie is a triple H Stan. And he gets tapers.

ehhh j cole played in the African league.

oh and we might need to claim Siakim. He went to high school in Dallas

At this stage, his best option is to work with the Lakers. I think he will work out a sign and trade with the Lakers that will allow him to get full MLE money and allow his new team to have his bird rights.

It would be foolish for him to just walk to a new team but Dennis is known for making foolish decisions so who knows

He might make more money overseas.

The funny part is he said it wasn't about the money when he turned down the 4/84 from the Lakers...

Tuff....

With his fluent french, Id say Siakim is more Canadian than he is American

 

[Maximus Meridius]

A ran through skinny chick with a unibrow. Don't know if that's a W.

 

[IATT]

[addict4sneakers]

 

[pmatic]

Unless a team steps up, he's going to have to take a QO.

 

[tramericanjr]

Only Dallas has money unless it’s a sign and trade

 

[atlsfinest]

Only Dallas has money unless it’s a sign and trade

Dennis Schroeder for Lauri sign and trade coming soon
