[pums]

Who do ya’ll think the final cuts will be?

Plumlee is the only lock to be cut tbh

 

[storm2006]

As if this thread wasn't already **** already

But most would expect this to happen as knowledge of sports medicine & rehabilitation has become better. not to mention the NBA has took strides in limiting the physicality of the game. As time goes on guys should last longer.

Man **** you

Now I’m stuck in a conversation I want no parts of.

Got the thread in further shambles and duped HIM into talking to a yamb he doesn’t want to talk to

Plumlee, Kuzma, Harris.

 

[SORIANOTRON]

Kuz aint getting no love from pop, wouldnt be suprised if he get cut.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Harris gotta be a lock for shooting, right?

 

[lawdog1]

^^^ Do it, Gregory. Cut the Kuzer. Just for the reactions from this thread...

 

[B Sox]

Harris gotta be a lock for shooting, right?

I’ve read he’s been one of the worst shooters in camp. But yeah, theoretically if he’s shooting Iike normal, he should be in there.

Also, PJ Tucker just dropped out. Not sure whose case that helps.

 

[alchemist iq]

I wanna see team USA vs this man....

 

[trynafeelmink]

Please drop Kuz, He had the experience being coached up and training with other guys so far. Now let him get ready for the regular season.

 

[storm2006]

I wanna see team USA vs this man....

This man euro’d from the free throw line, got fouled and still managed to dunk it The G-League loss and that Giannis clip has me worried for Team USA

[storm2006]

Same ***** who was talmbout some “Man, it was late after practice and we weren’t eem trying. This isn’t a story and the media is blowing it up.” Now he’s tryna leave so his name won’t be attached to this L. He on his GW ****.

 

[ballinsam23]

Everyone on NT seems to believe that they’ll still wash everyone though. Fox and Mitchell ain’t leading this team anywhere.

I’ve been concerned all summer then NT made me turn the corner, especially after the Blue-White Game on some “These are the best in the world battling against each other and they are going to be playing European waiters and hostel staff. Team USA will be fine.” But that G-League loss followed with PJ’s rebuttal then subsequent withdrawal has to make you feel queasy. If they don’t smack Spain tonight....IOENO

 

[ballinsam23]

International systems maximize a scrubs potential. There will be a game or two where they’ll get picked apart. Especially if young egos take over and these dudes try to iso and prove a point. I think Pop will keep them in check but who knows. Not a fan of this teams defensive potential either.

The redeem team was crazy talented, but their defense was insane. Literally picking up full court, lock down defenders, and DPOY candidate players. They still had close games.

This is FIBA and much lesser competition but my point still stands.

 

[Lizakers]

Ppl take this **** too serious
Rooting for guys to get cut petty af

Crazy

In 2009, Mikhail Prokhorov, a swaggering Russian minerals oligarch out of favor with the Vladimir Putin regime, spent less than $400 million buying control of the moribund New Jersey Nets and a large share of Barclays Center, the new arena in the heart of Brooklyn that would be home to the NBA franchise. Based on the cost and value of the arena, we can probably consider Prokhorov’s purchase price for the Nets to be south of $200 million, maybe even cheaper.

Almost exactly a decade out from that purchase, the New York Post reports Prokhorov is completing his sale of the Nets franchise to junior partner Joseph Tsai for a total price of $2.35 billion.

We don’t know how much money Prokhorov invested in annual losses along the way, but the oligarch flipped an NBA franchise over the course of a decade for a net profit of more than $2 billion. Even if you assume he lost $100 million a year running the team — which is absurdly high, there’s basically no way he lost that much even with famously high player payrolls — he’d still be sitting on better than $1 billion in profit from the sale.
