The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

[QU!K]

I believe part of being a functioning adult is being able to admit you were wrong about something.

It seems like Kyrie doesn’t possess this ability.

Does this end the dort v thybulle debate that nobody wanted to have in the first place

If he was just like, "Listen, didn't realize the loaded inspirations behind the film and book and I'm just learning like everybody else" people would respect that

What is there to say.?The W’s lost a game in November on the road to a bad team……. now Bron and the Lakers……..

Seriously though, the Lakers are a bad team, Pelinka is terrible and Russ isn’t the biggest issue with the team. AD body is failing him right in front of our eyes, and they are old. Bron is still Bron, but at this point he can’t be expected to carry the full load every night.

The Nets are a train wreck, but who’s actually surprised? Their top 3 players are all head cases and their coach’s X’s and O’s are worse than Doc’s.

We need to have a real conversation about Kahwi. Spurs looking like they were spot on regarding him and his health.

Westbrook needs to ask Ben about the mental health time off and see if he can do it for a few months and get a reset. Start his season a lil later.

 

[B Sox]

Russ being worth $47M in salary and not remotely fitting with Bron and AD is absolutely their biggest issue. You could have 3 competent starters/rotation guys for what you’re paying him.

Bron being old and AD being hurt all the time are obviously also problems.

Perfect laker

Love Bron, but I don't think I'll ever be able to wrap my head around trading for Russ.
One of the most head scratching decisions in all of sports imo.

And they gave up players who have the exact skill sets necessary for the past two seasons

Even if Russ was on a vet minimum he wouldn’t fit with those two. This is just another bad personnel move from GM Bron

Had Trez/Kuz for Buddy right there and chose to deplete the team for Russ,will never understand that.

AD gotta be the oldest moving 29 year old ever…Dude is the NBA equivalent to Bob Sanders.

They JUST played him in the playoffs and broke the game with the way they guarded him

From a pure basketball standpoint it should have been a non starter

On top of the horrid basketball fit, they saw he had 46Ms and 47Ms left on his salary

And they were like…”sign me up”

I can’t fault Jeanie and pelinka toooo much for the roster they have now, because it all goes back to the cap sheet and Russ’s place on it. Fireable trade

 

[darthska]

Hold this bum *** warriors team accountable

I mean, they are the reigning champs though, with no major changes.

It's all a money thing. With his contract you're forced to fill the team with vet min guys that aren't good. And he himself isn't good. It's far and away the team's biggest issue.

Of course a bad move by Bron.

 

[WASHED KING]

Last time I checked Rob PELINKER and JEANNIE are responsible for Roster construction not Lebron.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Kidd wanted the smoke and also is either gonna motivate c wood or crush his confidence lol

The Warriors have not looked good, The locker room is in turmoil, Klay is washed.

It’s plenty to talk about.
