Sign me up

A lineup of actual fluid basketball players would be fun

This the new “Lakers we signing everyone” meme

Desperate times call for desperate measures god dammit

If I gotta watch Ben Simmons drive full speed down the court on a fast break and then do a jump pass for absolutely no reason to someone contested behind him the polo is going down in flames

Are we sure Portland wants to move CJ?

 

[MVP]

76'ers brass need to realize they need to trade ben or embiid.

Should be a no brainer trade the one that's a liability on the court on the offensive end. Question is what can you get in return. Him for Ratsull would make the most sense but Warriors don't really have a use for Ben either.

3 team trade getting rid of Dray (Portland or Detroit) and Ben goes into that role with Steph and Klay returning

Nobody wants the carcass of Draymond at his contract number.

No. NT been trying to trade CJ for 3 years now.

Exactly They’ve given no indication that they’re not ok with 1st/2nd round exits.

 

[HIM]

Load management is all fun and games until you're a 4 seed and have to go through Utah/Houston/Denver etc while the 1 seed gets a first round bye and coasts to the Finals.

But you didn't hear that from me

if you’re nervous about playing Utah, Houston, or Denver you have no business thinking about a championship. Scared money don’t make money.

Call me crazy but I think a 14-21 team who just lost by 24 to the Knicks and needs 36 year old Melo to drop 20+ for them just to win games right now could be in the market to switch things up. This is not the 50+ win Blazers teams of the past so everybody in here needs to stop thinking that their mindset is the same.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Dedmon like get me outta here. Kings are a mess. I thought Luke would be a good fit for them. They're gonna be the "lookout for them next year" team forever.

[antidope]

Of years past... You mean last year? This is a gap year for the Blazers at this point. Next year will be better.

 

[pums]

Butler has a lot of those pumpfakes then lean into the defender

@ Myrie

Half these guys aren't even American. World taking over.

 

[everysingletime]

Someone who is better at flopping than Harden. That's scary to think about

 

[tay1]

They’ve been together for like what? 6 years now? They should consider it at this point

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

He has a number of games where he’s made 3-6 baskets that’s resulted in 20-29 points

 

[QU!K]

they should do a world vs usa

 

[Cashflow]

Those Klutch checks must be real good

 

[buc em]

He’s just really good at getting his defender to bite on pump fakes and driving in full speed right into a defender in the air at the basket to draw contact. We definitely miss him in that regard cause Tobias, Ben and Horford rarely ever are at the line. J-Rich is actually pretty good at it himself though. But JJ and Jimmy’s ability to draw fouls is sorely missed.

 

[HOU$TON]

Remove Houston from this, harden the best player in every series out west
