What I really hate are the highlight videos that play everything out of order! Completely takes the context out, even on the greatest plays
Tonight in games that interest us:
- Atlanta plays Boston and should get roflstomped.
- Memphis play Brooklyn. Not important to us, but I'm curious about how these two teams are right now. They're 4-3 and 3-4.
- Utah at Chicago. Should get a win for the Bulls.
- NYK come into Houston. Knicks haven't been great, Rockets are a little rocky at the moment.
- Charlotte visit a rested T-Wolves team, should be a loss but who knows.
Enjoy. There is no basketball tomorrow.
OKC definitely has the edge if they wanted to go for Giannis, but the thing is that they don’t need Giannis and they probably don’t even really want him.
I agree. I think they need to let the sauce bubble for a while, and see what they have. It was just a thought exercise.
It feels like a NY team to me for his next team...
Well, Brooklyn is out, due to tanking, and NYK already made their flashy trade.
I think the Knicks find a way...
mind boggling how much they gave up for Bridges. and he's a very good player, but man, 4 unprotected... in addition to the bucks first round pick which might not even be so bad this year
How? They have pretty much the exact team they want, with KAT and the Villanova squad. They’re not trading any (more) of them, because they’re all good shooting two way players. It was a massive contortion just to get the KAT trade done, including signing 3 players to their roster, one of which had to be released from his European team, to get the deal even done. Their bag of tricks is just empty.
I’m not sure anyone saw his shooting going over a cliff the way it has.mind boggling how much they gave up for Bridges. and he's a very good player, but man, 4 unprotected... in addition to the bucks first round pick which might not even be so bad this year
As an aside, these mega trades are blowing up in a continuous string. Paul George walked away this summer, and the Clippers aren’t even done paying for his trade. This will become more and more the norm until teams stop paying stupid prices for overrated players who won’t put them over the finish line.
One of the best recent trades was Jrue Holiday. Once the dust settled on the original three team trade, Boston picked up a former Champ and at the time 5 times All D player from Portland. It cost them two FRPs.
His shooting is fine now
To get the freak they'll move anything they have to. Probably two of OG, Mikal, and Hart plus picks and a couple other smaller parts. That coupled with some sort of ultimatum from Giannis should make it interesting.
So, Brunson, KAT, And Freak, with no backup or bench? That ain’t even winning the East, let alone a le.
Brunson’s dad works in the FO, and Jalen took a haircut, a big one, specifically to bring in these players. It’s way too early to chuck that, not to mention Jalen being ing pissed off.
Ain't winning the East huh? Maybe not, but they'd be closer than they are now imo. You look at things from a certain point of view and conclude they're incontrovertible, but they aren't. If they were Donovan Mitc would never have resigned with Garland still on the roster. You made that argument over and over. In all honesty, it was a logical argument, the only problem is that it assumes all parties are 'logical'. That rarely happens with the FO egos in most organizations. NY has a long history or being illogical, overpaying, and chasing the Shiney object. There's also already smoke out there re: their interest in Giannis. As for Jalen being pissed... I don't think that's remotely accurate. He took a haircut to put better talent around him and if he thinks Giannis > OG + Hart or Mikal talent wise then he'll be thrilled because his haircut brought a greater return.
All of this is whataboutism because there's no way Giannis gets traded before the next summer unless OKC offers Williams and 7 FRPs or something.
Knicks have nothing to offer that a tanking team would value.
Bridges is 28, Hart is 29 and they have no tradeable FRPs whatsoever.
OKC, Spurs, Utah, Rockets, Nets are the only teams with enough assets.
I doubt Giannis would want to join teams that have nothing going for them unless there are realistic free agency targets to add.
And 2025 free agency class doesn't look great if we talk players that would be a good fit with Giannis.
He's kind of ed if we talk getting another ring, tbh.
It's OKC or treadmill teams.
Donovan re-signed with Cleveland because he realized that there was no longer a path to NY. They had their team.
Oh... so the landscape changed...and the outcome likewise changed...
Good to know..
It begs the question: would Milwaukee be a tankingbteam or a team trying to hold on? Obviously, you assume they'd be a tanking team. That would be the smarter move and in that scenario they move Bridges and OG elsewhere for picks.... there are different ways to achieve their goal, no matter what there goal is.
Milwaukee can't tank, they don't control their picks until 2031. They don't even have a second round pick until then. They're not trading Giannis, and even if he asks out they'd want good players more than picks.
Jokic will have to average like 32/13/10 if they're to stay above .500.
Magic has their 2025 pick, top5 protected. Could be great for them, maybe even late teens.
brutal
Good point on their lack of firsts...
Damn back at it with the Rockets tomorrow night. Bunch of scrubs. Somebody start the thread and we can trash them for the entire day.
