The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

[Cashflow]

EYE would not rock it or advise it to a friend but seeing where modern fashion is, I would think most folks would say Steph got this fit off.

Only if he had the Chelsea Brunch Boots on his feet!

 

[Mister Meaner]

We’ve already seen what russ as the starter looks like. There’s a low ceiling. You have to see what Harden looks like. What are we discussing here

 

[storm2006]

Man figured once Harden got there, it was over to avg another meaningless triple double. Wonder if he asks for all those iPhone 15’s back?

Russ man. what a guy.

Not y’all respectfully but you indirectly mentioned It so I quoted you. Remember when I told y’all about this Harden haul being assets for a big trade for a third piece in 2024. GM pmatic knows.

 

[Based Jesus]

Harden should absolutely be the one coming off the bench. Russ finally sets his ego aside and it's at the wrong time

 

[lynchpin33]

He was cooked in the playoffs last year. Dude is a decade plus into the league, had two major lower body injuries consecutively, and was never a great athlete to begin with. We’ve just been spoiled by some of the all timers defying logic and doing it deeper into their 30s. It’s not an indictment on Klay, just a sad reality.

That’s when I noticed it as well. You could see he was visibly frustrated during the finals vs Boston that he had lost a step.

Now when someone is trailing him on defense he looks to see where the defender is before he shoots. That was never the case pre injury. We knew coming back his defensive days were done. Possibly flashes when it was just the ACL. But it was done after the Achilles, defensively.

Didn’t think we would see the drop off like this offensively though. He misses so many shot now.

 

[WASHED KING]

EYE noticed Klay wasn't right back in 2022 but I was told he just needed to get his legs back.

I'm still waiting for Klay to get his legs back.

Better be Mann getting inserted into the lineup and not Powell.

Again, EYE am not rocking this but if he had a slim fit earthtone cashmere henley underneath with some suede Chelseas then I don’t think y’all are clowning him. He would have been a grassy wall brunch legend

RustyShackleford HIGH VALUE fit talk.

 

[ballinsam23]

Klay wanted 100+ mill too

 

[headdetective]

Might be lucky to get the veteran minimum now

 

[allergic2broke]

Dray got 100 mill, Klay should get atleast that much.

I would prefer mann but powell wouldn’t be terrible. I’m afraid he’s gonna start PJ though

 

[aepps20]

Very impressed with Nuggets defense. Jokic really makes the engine run. Hopefully the bench can improve on offense.

Probably a better fit, but still a low ceiling. Kawhi is looking cooked physically and he’s definitely not going to/willing to be more of a spot up guy. They really need to play through PG more. Harden basically said that he doesn’t want to play the style that had him leading the league in assists last year. It’s all going to come crashing down.

Free Russ

I know that’s what PJ is hoping for. Man looks lost out there not being able to switch his shoes quarterly due to the uncertainty of minutes and the rotation.

[storm2006]

It’s only a few games in but what do you even offer Klay? If it’s the Warriors then I think it’s $20MM but another team might only give my guy $10-15MM.

Thoughts?

EYE am close to pushing an agenda about the Knicks

Not to mention Zu is the worst center in the NBA now. I had us as an 8 seed before the season started but even that looks generous now

That would not be ideal
