Around the NBA - 2024-25 Season Continued Continued

[nykballa2k4]

The Lakers go without a sub in the 2nd half - the first time in the playoffs since play-by-play stats were recorded in 1997.

Imagine that was Thibs

And JJ did it with Old Man LeBron, sick Luka, soft-ass Rui and AR and injury prone Finney Smith

Minutes police are off duty during playoff season

Play them til they drop. This is when you do everything to win by any means necessary

The JB in-season injury was a blessing

[nykballa2k4]

i'm listening to the hoop collective and they briefly mentioned giannis to brooklyn too. oh boy.

Nothing about that pairing makes sense other than Brooklyn just needing a box office name to help sell tickets and draw people into the arena

But it will be funny seeing how many of those 5 picks they robbed us for end up going to Milwaukee

Not sure how to make the math work, assuming they use cap space as a primary piece back though:
Claxton
Greek
Johnson
XX
XX

Not bad, but not much better than what he is leaving.

Dame might have torn his achilles. No way they can recover from Kuzma being complete trash and no Dame for like a year.

You never learn

Cross out Giannis for LeBron, Durant, Irving, Grant Hill, Reggie Miller, Michael Jordan, the list goes on and on

We may be naive with what we think the team could accomplish, but that's not as naive as thinking this **** every offseason

[Montmorencie]

I think Giannis and Jokic will form a duo. They both look sick to the the bones from their bum franchises.

They are going to look great in Miami

Giannis is one of my favorite players in the league. We won’t get him and never could have, not for Towns, but also not for Randle and/or Bogdanovic at any point. It’s nonsense.

I don’t think he wants to go to OKC, but they could offer what Milwaukee will get: both, very talented young players and loads of picks (which is why Durant might ultimately end up there imo)

Boston could offer Brown, and they should. I also don’t see why Cleveland wouldn’t offer Mobley, or why Toronto wouldn’t offer Barnes. Those are the types of offers you’d have to expect. Don’t forget San Antonio (Vassell), Houston (Sengun), Miami (Adebayo) etc. - no team would sleep on that one.

It’s intriguing to me that the Warriors still have very much to offer. Think Kuminga, Podziemski, Post, Moody, Trayce Jackson-Junior as well as Draymond’s salary. I would love this for Curry, and I could see Giannis approve of it.

Speaking of the Warriors, could Looney be the free-agent we should pursue?

Prayers up this dude says NY or nowhere.

bill simmons said about a week ago that giannis wants to be in the new york area. he said we probably don't have what we need to make the trade and so he may end up on the nets.

I'd vastly prefer that to OKC or San Antonio. I don't think Milwaukie will tango with that offer but we'll see.

Shams said recently that our playoffs will determine how seriously we’ll go after Giannis/KD. We can’t rule out anything. Marc stein said back in November that if Giannis asks out we will go after him, even to the point where teams think we acquired KAT to use in a Giannis offer. a lot things are up in the air based on what happens in the rest of the playoffs so we’ll have to see. Don’t shoot the messenger lol

It’ll end up being Mikal for Giannis lol

Not to shoot anyone here, but Milwaukee is not a hostage in this and they will reset after dealing Giannis. They won’t wait for Lillard to recover from career-ending injury and hope to build around Towns and Dame. The chance is 0.0%, and it wouldn’t be any bigger if we still had more picks to offer. Just look at what others will offer. If I’m Milwaukee, I’m taking either Brown from Boston or Chet Holmgren and Williams or even ask for Sengun, Smith and Thompson - and run.

[spree2kawhi]

They might even call the Lakers about Luka or vice versa

Prob a slim chance we even get him, but you never know. If shams and Marc steins are both saying the same thing, the Knicks are definitely cooking something up.

I’d welcome him with open arms. The easiest guy to root for since Dirk.

OG, Mitch, Pac, Kolek, any draft assets we can find.
mid-season trade Deuce+Precious for Donte

KAT/Huk
Giannis/bo-champ
Hart/McCullar
Bridges/DDV
Brunson/Payne

2-3 rings

[K_ick_God]

I prefer to keep the KAT in the house and lock the door because a Freak is looking in the windows
