The Official NBA Season Thread: I’m like Jayson Tatum in the Olympics I'm not playing

AAU basketball

I know this was discussed earlier but I rather D'Lo link with Wemby over this

D'Lo helping a 22 win team get to the Play In >>>> Him trying to help a 47 win playoff team make it past the 2nd round

Keep Dlo far away from Orlando thanks

Franz had 3 trash games but other than that was really good this series and all season. We don't always have to overreact

You can’t have 3 trash games in a 7 game series. But he is young and as much as I love Kobe I saw him shoot 4-89 in a 7th game lol.

Or Stark’s 2-18 in game 7… knicks would have won with a couple of shots hit

 

[elpablo21]

Telling you D-Lo on the Spurs ain’t that bad. We need a PG. ain’t nobody else really available.

Yeah folks keep looking at D'Lo as the #3 guy on a team who had championship goals (goals that were gassed to begin with)

A team just trying to make some small leaps in the west D'Lo isn't hurting that and Wemby clearly took his own leaps with far less talented ball handlers

Would rather have Monk in Orlando than DLo.

The need more than that though.

This individual's actions are truly reprehensible! It's evident that he goes out of his way with malicious intent to harm players. It's impossible to have any respect for someone who behaves in such a manner. In the words of a famous quote, "If he dies, he dies," which in this context translates to getting hurt. Absolutely despicable behavior!

You made good money with this one bro?

Got the ML at +320 but then lost half of it by taking Orlando +9.5 in the 4th

 

[picasso swerve]

C’s without Pookie should get em in 5.

Pop would end up physically fighting Dlo. If I'm wrong, I'll take it, but he's nothing like the guards the Spurs usually like.

 

[Moheezy]

Not really sure it’s boasting

Simply saying they don’t lose to teams that kind of suck like the Cavs, or your Sixers.

Well, have fun losing to Denver then.

dlo had a decent year. couple stinkers in the playoffs, but overall, he's been solid. that laker fanbase would have folks thinking he should be out of the league

His shooting falls off a cliff when the playoffs hit and if his shoots aren't falling he give you nothing else.

Putting him in the pressure cooker of playing on a Lakers team with LeBron and he will struggle.

Put him in a situation like the Spurs were he can play with Wemby and facilitate the offense with no real expectations he will be fine.

Tomorrow gonna be a great night of hoops

Attitude stinks and plays zero defense. If he can’t help the Lakers win big he can’t help anyone. He stunk in the playoffs. Do some of yall even look at statistics?

DloBlows 2024 Playoffs
Minutes up 4.7
Points down 3.8
Assists down 2.1
Rebounds down .3
Free throws down 32% (he shot 50% from the line)
3 Point percentage down 10%
FG% down 7%

He absolutely stunk it up.

Dog the Spurs aren't trying to win the Finals next year lmao

I’m trying to understand why any NBA team would want him at this point. Even g league chumps can come in and put up numbers as good as his here and there. Inconsistency is the difference between being a starter and a scrub in the league.

Toxic losers infect team chemistry, waste minutes guys who want to play hard all the time could be using and command a pretty penny a decade into their NBA career.

What’s the reason he belongs on any NBA roster? The right coach will change his attitude in his 11th season? He’ll become consistent all of a sudden?

And Pop ain’t trying to deal with proven quitters either at 75.

He's dealt with worse the last few years

Do yall hear yourselves

 

[Blue Mamba]

Donovan Mitchell Even if the Cavs end up getting destroyed by the Celtics, glad they got past round 1

Uhm I think they should take advantage of Wembys early years, theres no guarantee on his health
and from a science
of course the biggest spurs fan doesn't believe in time so who knows

He'd help them a lot. He'd get Wemby a lot of easy looks. He's still an elite passer (at least in the regular season). I definitely see what you are saying. He honestly had a great regular season. I just think his limitations physically, athletically, etc get really exposed in the playoffs.

I just don't see him as a player the Spurs go after at all. He doesn't do the little things/dirty work. He would make Pop go crazy. He doesn't fit the ethos of a Spurs guard at all. I also suspect they want to get players that will fit with Wemby longterm. Dlo would be a stopgap.
