The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

[storm2006]

I don't need KObe when a superior copy of him already exists on the squad.

This is the Wemby and ESPN influence. Over the weekend Wemby said his team to beat the Monstars would be Steph/MJ/Bron/Duncan/Shaq and they spent damn near two hours debating it on ESPN Radio with various discussions about all of those players in the picture + Bird

Bron, MJ and Shaq were the only unanimous selections. KD, Steph, Timmy, Kobe and Bird were shuffled based on the preference.

“My wife was at his wedding…I think him and his wife were at our wedding”

He’s not rocking with Currys

he's probably more happy about not having to play with ayton than he is about teaming up with steph

 

[pmatic]

am i being goofy or is john collins' contract actually pretty good in this current market? three years at < $30 million, two years under team control and a 3rd year player option for a dude who was close to 20/10 prior to capela..feel like the hawks played themselves.

if Utah goes full rebuild they should be able to flip him for a future first rounder + 2nd rounders at the trade deadline

It's a bad contract right now, but maybe going to a different team will allow him to play better. He's not a stretch four like Atlanta made him out to be to maximize Capela.

Utah All NBA mid team

i'll probably watch a few of their games on league pass. between markannen, collins and kessler their starting front court is hella athletic

Allstar Cedi He just never got his chance to play under Pop who would have made him a per-pet-chew-ul Allstar

Spoiler

The pack at JR’s house must have been hitting for him to think Pop was trading Kawhi to Cleveland, Bron was resigning and Cedi would be an Allstar at any point

How do I report this comment?

Steph and KD on the bench
A team of Lebron at point Jordan at SG Kobe at SF and Lebron also covering PF responsibilites with Shaq at C would legit beat any 5 nba players
thats how good they are

 

[finessence]

Rich Paul presumably doesn’t want to do anymore business with the Knicks.

Cam Reddish (who I defended btw) being one of the reasons why.


So now it’s wartime.

When John Elway and Eli Manning’s agents, didn’t want them to play for the Colts and Chargers in their respective drafts…. No one had an issue.

Rich ain’t the first sport agent to have a vendetta against a particular ball club in sports.

Who else has anything to offer cause I don’t see any point of herro in portland

 

[elpablo21]

Was this CBA CJ’s first big decision since he took over for CP3?

 

[picasso swerve]

Bron prolly lowkey jelly CP3 gets to play with Steph and his bf Dray.

Ben Simmons, Patty Mills and all/most of the picks the Nets have accumulated?

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Steph and KD on the bench

Trippin

 

[picasso swerve]

Also, im sitting Shaq and then hiring D’Antoni to be coach. Run and gun the whole game.

Looks good for portland but then nets become the portland Nets

If you gonna spend 30 ms on someone why waste a bullet on someone who gonna logjam your front court and who isn’t really a long term piece

I mean he is quoted as of an hour ago saying he doesn’t want to be on a team with 3 Allstars or 3 Superstars and just wants a “shot” (obscure).

Playing in Brooklyn with his friend Mikal in the East gives him more of a “shot” than anything Portland can do and it meets his odd difficult requirement (not 3 superstars/allstars but have a “shot”)

I’m going to disagree here. Mikal was great but I doubt you’re getting HC with just those two and the treadmill boys

Miami has expirings and the natural fit if they admit they want to rebuild. Can get the expirings, swaps, pick of any of the young talent they like.

Some other foundations of trades that could work:
76ers: Tobias Harris (expiring), Maxey, +picks
Minny: Kat + conley (expiring)
Hawks: Trae Young
LAL: DLo sign and trade + Bamba and/or Beasley (expirings)
NO: Zion or Ingram + filler
Indian: Buddy Hield + Filler/young talent

Can add picks/swaps depending on the team

Keep Dame out west please. He will torch the east in the playoffs.
