Harden is and will always do Harden. But Morey knew better...

How many stars are going to be ruined by that sad franchise?

Bigger question is when will the flan collapse.

Morey thinks he can hold out and get an allstar guard for Harden. My bet is that they'll get Norman Powell and some scraps (Morris, Covington).

If that happens, when does Embiid want out?

They won't even give up Terrance Mann for him.

Hell, you'd be lucky to get Normal Powell at this point.

I guess it's hard to find good GMs, but Morey and Ujiri are really hurting this league and their own teams.

Yep and in only 25 min playing time! ~ selected 57th overall in the 2023 Draft.
I know pre-season and all but it really gives me some hope hearing all the good things
Tyson Chandler is saying about our big rookies. If only Kidd lets them play...

Poor Bullock had no chance

Lively>>Wemby>>>>>Ayton >>Ayton?s 100mill

DevinHarriswillstart · 10-26-2023, 12:47 AM

Avoiding Ayton was the best move of the offseason.

Draymond is a clown

DevinHarriswillstart · 11-15-2023, 04:56 PM

Draymond should be suspended for the season. Guy has major anger issues and looks like the type to kill someone.

Repeat offender. Chokehold in a society where such things are majorly frowned upon. Dragging him across the floor no less.

People say 10 games, but that doesn't meet the crime here. You could kill someone doing that stuff.

EricaLubarsky · 11-15-2023, 05:14 PM

Punish him by making him play for an expansion team for the next couple of years

Like the Mavs

EricaLubarsky · 11-18-2023, 08:04 AM

Luka complained about how slippery the new tournament courts are

Last night Jaylen Brown was injured slipping on one

Pels have gone completely beast mode in the last week

Pels and Magic wins (W/L with Pels) look a lot better with their respective runs. It's almost like we need to let the early season settle down a bit, reevaluate, and then make necessary upgrades.

Forgot to acknowledge Wood?s major impact last night

BPo001 · 12-09-2023, 08:57 PM

Bron wants his name on this in season trophy so bad. Probably consider it his 5th ring.

C. Wood / DNP-COACH'S DECISION

EricaLubarsky · 12-12-2023, 12:04 AM

Spurs really are going to have two consecutive #1 picks

BPo001 · 12-13-2023, 08:21 AM

So Draymond comes back from a 5 game suspension for putting Rudy in a chokehold and then sucker punches Nurkic? What is wrong with this fucking idiot? Every year he?s he?s kicking someone in the nuts, or punching people.

They basically allow him to run that franchise. Guy runs players out of town, almost kills opposing players, and basically doesn't give a shit. How he hasn't done anger management is beyond me.

I defended him for years because he is exactly what we need, but I can't anymore.

Silver has let the inmates run the asylum for too long now. His lax way of running the league is starting to bite him in the butt.

coming off a 5 game suspension what's next? 10? 15?
anger management counseling should be a must as part of his reinstatement

Dray should be out at least 40 games after that. He obviously hasn't learned his lesson and he could have ended Nurkic's whole career with a concussion/broken nose. It wasn't an accident.

This is that big void between Rick and Pop. Pop knows what to do to make sure the team is winning in a few years. Rick let his pride get in the way of fully tanking.

is this a bad year to tank though?
perusing tankathon briefly and no big names that jump out to me
maybe the magic can take DJ Wagner and corner the market on Wagners

EricaLubarsky · 12-13-2023, 08:08 PM

Dray out indefinitely

DevinHarriswillstart · 12-13-2023, 08:16 PM

Good. Can't let him permanently injure or kill someone.

EricaLubarsky · 12-16-2023, 12:13 PM

Bradley Beal played three games and got Injured

Came back for three more games and got injured

DevinHarriswillstart · 12-23-2023, 06:56 AM

Don't look at Trace Jackson-Davis's last three games...

Scouting in the NBA has really hit rock bottom when you let that guy reach the 57th pick. He was easily a late first round talent.

EricaLubarsky · 12-25-2023, 02:13 PM

Silver has to be angry

Embiid, Butler, Beal, and Kyrie all out for his big Xmas lineup

That's why I don't buy tickets anymore. Last two games I went to no Luka. Not worth it anymore.

OG and Precious to Knicks

DevinHarriswillstart · 12-30-2023, 12:24 PM

Wow, Knicks giving up on RJ Barrett, Quickly AND draft picks? That's pretty nuts for OG.

Insane to give up that much when OG is a free agent. They're basically going to have to give him 30 mil a year, and I'm not sure he is worth that.

Stop me if you?ve heard this one:

OG is a free agent
His agent is Sam Rose
Sam Rose?s dad is the Knicks president Leon Rose

That's fine, but they're gonna have to pay a big price for a player that I personally feel is overrated. Would I love to have him? Sure, but they just gave up 28 ppg and now will have to overpay to keep him.

I've been giving Musai a bunch of crap, but he did well with this one. He was smart not to be hell bent on picks and got the prize which is Quickley IMO.

EricaLubarsky · 12-30-2023, 08:29 PM

Thank the Knicks for the last min trade

Pistons have ended the losing streak that may never be beaten

saclare · 01-02-2024, 11:21 AM

I mean, that trade is exactly what this Mavs roster needs and I think we could have put together a competitive package. The drop from Barrett/Quickley to something like Green/Hardy probably forces us to include a FRP or multiple SRPs, not sure if doable...

But yea biggest drawback is facing the prospect of paying OG $30MM+

Steve Kerr taking a page from Kidd's playbook by not putting Kuminga back in. He really had no defense for it either.

Ego. Ego. Ego.

Love it. What a shot my Joker. I wish he would have done Steph?s ?night night? celebration after he hit it, but he?s not that kind of player.
