The Official NBA Season Thread: Fries Discourse | Mavs vs Jazz

Just seems mad devious to be holding these type of polls lmao

 

[checks mcgee]

Like Randall Finster behind the scenes doin these

 

[aepps20]

Yeah if they did it with Euroleague teams **** would be interesting.

Travel would be a disaster though.

That is the only way it works. Maybe they could invite some college teams and G league teams and Euro teams to participate. Otherwise it is just a meaningless exercise. Things like the Carabao Cup and FA Cup format only works when you have multiple divisions and multiple leagues working together. NBA won’t want to share revenue with the International leagues so this is just another dumb idea

 

[antidope]

He’s a chuck who turns the ball over a lot and is awful on defense. He can’t find the court in any pivotal moments for a team that desperately needs another facilitator, despite just getting a 4/132M contract. He’s not contributing to winning basketball right now, man.

I agree but NOT GOOD AT BASKETBALL? Come on. But yeah there's a Jordan Poole problem. I haven't run from it.

"Summer of refinement"

 

[aepps20]

Ya'll gonna turn on Mark within 3 years of his tenure

I’ve already turned on him so there’s that

 

[Based Jesus]

Klutch News can hire all the former Political advisors they can get their hands on (as they’ve done).

They’re not jumping 7 points in the polls.

This is a landslide.

You underestimate how much young people will idolize Bron. When the league is all Gen Z and Gen Alpha the percentages will change.

A quarter of NBA teams would get beat by Real Madrid or Barcelona.

That would also make the NBA look bad.

No way Adam Silver invited the Euro League teams (even tho it would be dope).

Due to perception and revenue sharing like you said.

Half the league is Gen Z already man

They did an interview of draft prospects last year most of them said Michael Jordan.

Bron can’t want this battle man.

reaves should be up there with trae. "im him", my *** cant score without flopping on every single drive

I agree. Even some of the teams in Greece and Israel could give a lower tier NBA team problems. I think the games would be a net positive for the players in the long run as teams could find their next international star in the tournament and if non NBA teams won it would be a great thing for the game. Silver wants the NBA to be global but doesn’t want the NBA to look bad like you said.

 

[dman14]

Adam silver watches a UEFA futbol tournament and thinks he can translate that in the league
That honeymoon phase is over, right?

 

[nick.]

Who's even rating RJ Barrett or Dillon Brooks high enough for them to be overrated?

 

[wavycrocket]

Truss in 30

Get it all out now…

 

[dman14]

I don't think Dray put his full weight either. It wasn't a stomp. Stomps have follow thru. Unless it was a WWE stomp where he pulled his kick. This based on his rep. It's corny.

1000
If it was anyone other player than dray, they assess double flagrants and move on. Non issue.

Yea. Turkey too. Maybe a few from the Balkans as well.

They always have a couple good teams.

Silver is not trying to see NBA teams getting beat by foreigners - Hell No

Cold takes galore from Tony Starks this afternoon

I didn't say he'd win, I said he'd get a higher percentage of the vote. There's no way that doesn't happen.

Let’s play the in-season tournament on outdoor courts. The NBA version of…

The Turkish league is really good from what I’ve seen. I agree that the Balkans has some good teams too. I actually watch Euro League basketball during the year and those guys can ball. Not everyone in those leagues are super athletic but they can rebound, defend and shoot. The NBA is still the best league in the world but dudes acting like other leagues are trash aren’t watching.

The Balkans have the most talent but they can’t retain their talent.

So the players end up going to the big European giants like RM, Barça, etc.

But every once in a while you’ll see a Balkan team that is real good go deep in the Euro League - before their players get poached, of course.

Nice. Vegas too, so one could play in the Chesstival during the day and then hit the strip clubs for a Chest-ival at night.
