The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

Somebody explain to me why Portland gets gifted the 3 pick and instead of rebuilding, they want to trade it to get Dame some help.

ARE YOU GUYS STUPID??

This is like the perfect scenario for Dame to leave and protect his loyalty brand. I don't get it

Jokic can't let hoochiemara guard him man.

Den gotta get the spacing right

The ONLY trade that makes sense is 3 + more assets to Brooklyn for Bridges.

Even then you max out in the 1st/2nd round maybe? and then we gotta hear the same Dame quotes all over again

They just gotta take Scoot or Brandishing Miller and move on

@ still bringing out new Ja defenses like this is a brand new situation. Wait till Stak finds out you can do that.

 

[Moheezy]

If Reddick goes on to coach the 6ers or Raps, who’s going to be the foil to ScreminA’s idiocy?

There's plenty of good coaches out there...but there aren't many good analysts, especially ones who can consistently shut Stephen A up. I hope JJ remains with ESPN.

Oh I'm aware. There will be no fix lol. Basketball hell.

I didn't expect to see a tweet from my man Jason Isbell in the NBA thread today.

 

[Moheezy]

Why would any franchise at this point want this chokejob artist Harden on their team.

Harden is a floor raiser. If you're a team looking to make the playoffs, he can absolutely get you there. After that...you're on your own. lol

The funny thing is that this was the criticism that Chicago got two offseasons ago when they gave DeRozan and Lonzo all that money. Everyone saw this coming. Chicago went all in financially to be a play in team and now they are stuck on the treadmill for the foreseeable future.

Chicago is a good tear down / fire sale team because otherwise they will be locked into this average roster for the next couple of years. They should trade Lavine, Demar, Vuc for as many pics as possible and see if they can get an injury amnesty for Lonzo. Just go into a full rebuild and hopefully they will have draft picks and assets for the next big free agent or disgruntled Superstar. Sure beats their current plan

I do feel bad for them because of the Lonzo situation but they knew his injury history going in.

I think this is why Chicago Bulls fans spend so much time defending Jordan, because they have nothing else to celebrate or look forward to so they keep breaking out the Bulls championship VHS tapes.

If we didn’t wipe out Wolves and big cats to damn near extinction some of those overpopulated boars and deers could be handled with naturally.

What does Karl Towns have to do with this?

Victor is fortunate to be going to a first class organization but as a young, metropolitan person who grew up in Paris San Antonio is going to be a culture shock. San Antonio is in my bottom five NBA cities I would want to live in:

San Antonio
Indianapolis
Orlando
Detroit
OKC

Dishonorable mentions:

Salt Lake City
Memphis

 

[aepps20]

I now understand your trust issues about time and various other subjects.

Also explains why he is no longer a Spurs fan before last night

[atlsfinest]

Nah, this ain't it

 

[freeze]

Man's acts like an addict.

 

[nflowshoe]

Nah, this ain't it

Damn, Dame is 32 years old. It’s better for him and the Franchise if they trade him.

 

[RustyShackleford]

No it's fact, I can prove it.

No you can't

 

[Moheezy]

Portland, yes!!! Go get Dame a running mate w/ that pick & other change.

S&T Grant for a different third option; a man who needs a change of scenery and circumstance.

Take this All-NBA reclamation project off MY

If a team can get their hands on Scoot…that’s gotta be worth something.

Maybe the Raptors trade Siakim?

 

[smedroc]

Nah, this ain't it

How?

The GM shopping the pick telling ****** Wemby gonna drop to 3?

 

[Blue Mamba]

Damn, Dame is 32 years old. It’s better for him and the Franchise if they trade him.

Jimmy butler is 33 and still leading the Heat to the conference finals. I feel like athletes can now go a bit longer at an elite level
