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

[harlemtothebronx]

Exactly the reaction I would expect from this thread. All jokes no nuance or logic.

Yall gotta move on from a decade ago.

Salute tho, ‘we’ already did.

Best team in the league with the OG + Randle + Mitch/iHart lineup. Small sample size (14 games).

Last season = 22-23

This isn’t a knock on Julius, just don’t think you need him if you can retain OG. But I’m for sure never sending a double to him in the playoffs. He’s not like that. ESPECIALLY if I’m Boston

 

[harlemtothebronx]

OG and Julius are completely different players. Whats the logic in them being redundant?

 

[nick.]

Cap people, would the timing of this deal affect Hartenstein's ability to re-sign? Say if they held it for a week, brought back OG & iHart, then made the trade official?

Rockets really traded the most valuable asset in the league for the pipedream of KD and the suns pick.

It’s not about redundancy, it’s about if you can retain OG and Hartenstein after acquiring bridges. Something might have to give but I could be wrong.

Seems like it's OG, Randle, lose Hartenstein, & hard cap yourself or OG, Hartenstein, trade Randle, & retain some flexibility.

Give me the latter.

Happy 10 year anniversary.

The national TV broadcasts of the Knicks are gonna be something else. Total erosion of the Knicks brand for nonsense college basketball. Jay Wright may get 30 TV spots

So much happened since I was last here.

My squad finally chose a freakin' side.

Nets get 6 or 7 picks back for Mikal freakin' Bridges (that Spongebob meme was true. he a h o anyways)

Nets get their picks back from Rockets

Nets possibly trading into the 2024 draft

Yeah you have to move off Randle, and they've been preparing for it by not making any progress on an extension. His warts on the court were always apparent but now he's also an issue to the team's current & future cap sheet.





The number of unprotected picks is still tough to grasp but I think their process is correct? This front office is very self aware; I'm sure they've thought of & simulated every possible outcome of this summer. More moves are coming, and real soon.

That Chinese going to come in handy

If the Nets really want to tank, give Wiseman 20 MPG.

 

[B Sox]

Just want to say I proposed a Jarrett Allen/Julius Randle swap a couple months ago!

 

[dman14]

Good move by the Knicks. Eastern rivals are never fully healthy. Adding talented depth only will benefit them. So much parity in the league. Why not the knicks? Underdogs in no excuses

 

[JMB10215]

Oh you a Rockets fan. Thought you a Knicks fan and was hella confused

NT needs to add team flairs

I live in Houston so I rock with them! Other than that I really just root for my favorite players

Man you really got like only 4 years max to figure out a role in the league or youre out of there. Bro is a 7 footer damn near and is about to be overseas smh

 

[datznasty]

If I am OKC I take a flyer on Wiseman for the lowski. He can use his Chinese over here on Classen BLVD

He’s a 7 footer that’s soft as heck. Dude plays with absolutely no fire or force

 

[finessence]

Cam Thomas might average 35ppg this year

 

[addict4sneakers]

Rockets/ime doing too much

 

[MIKE LOWERY]

Randle as a 6th man makes alot of sense, but I doubt he'd even be willing to entertain that after his years with the Knicks and them looking like they're close to the top.



He's gotta go.
