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

Also with regards to the Spurs, you’re holding onto next year’s Atlanta pick no matter what. The later Atlanta /swaps can potentially be negotiated, but you may not need to give those up either as you have your own picks and some others.

You already have your generational guy at arguably the most important position. You have the opportunity to be like the Celtics from years ago where you can compete and the Hawks will suck for you and give you your potential Brown/Tatum.

No point in wasting already good Wemby years.

Who is this guy?

Idk why Shams or Woj hasn’t done this yet. Like a Stephen King pseudonym, just break news on a bird profile pic and then reveal yourself later on

I personally feel like the Spurs would be better off just building with cheap talent through the draft until they are really for that next step, however I wouldn't mind the Trae Young move. He's a beast offensively.

The league may want Wemby and the Spurs competing sooner than later. I feel like they are banking on Wemby being that next lebron type of figure for them. Which is smart because kids an alien.

Active coach admitting this is crazy

This is strange, Doc normally never blames outside influences for his teams' failures.

How is Brian Wright as a GM? Is he smart/ patient enough to build organically?

Im not sure but historically the Spurs make the right decisions so I trust in their front office and development staff.

The old guard is old in the west. Feels like making a win now move isn’t a bad thing for the spurs. Especially for a 25 year old PG

The Nets are a bunch of morons

Not for not trading Bridges

But acting like they don't have another star on the team when Socialite Simmo is still on the roster

Bunch of unserious clowns

People hated the Big Three/Dynasty Era & now hate some parity

I promise you don't need to watch the sport if you don't like it.

Folks unironically pleading for a return of dynasties is hilarious

Between this and drake betting on the Mavs, we out here looking rough

Comeback starts tonight. Kidd found a little something in that 20-2 run at the end there. Tonight will be interesting

Horford instead of Porzingis?

Kendrick Perkins just named dropped SAM CASSELL

Lakers got to hire JJ Redick at this point though



Stephen A also talked about money in terms of the Hurley 70 million dollar deal. He said the California taxes are:
Federal income tax is 37%
State is 14%

Hurley would’ve basically got 51% of that 70 million. Which would’ve been 35 million. He didn’t even mention the jock tax or agent fee.
