Around the League: 2024-25 Season

[RookieStar]

How are the Nets spanking the Bucks?

Also..m isnt POR tanking? Yet they are taking a Zion-led Pels team to the woodshed.

Tanking doesn't mean you lose every single game of the season

Even the worst teams in the league are gonna win 15-20 times.

Still... for Flagg they need to lose against tanking and mid teams. Only ahow the effort against the PO contenders to be sure they have no competition in the race

Isn't that what happened tonight with the Nets and Blazers though?

New Orleans and Milwaukee were both good teams last year.

I’m curious if we improve at the trade deadline with the tanking teams will be offloading solid depth pieces.

Schroeder is likely to be available. Replacing Cole with Schroeder seems like a positive move.

We can run something like this

Black / Schroeder
Suggs / KCP
Franz / Jett
Paolo / JI
WCJ / Moe

We don’t have to swap Black and KCP but Schroeder opens the door.

Cole can be 3rd string until his contract runs out if he isn’t movable.

Or maybe players don't thank
Or maybe tanking doesn't work

A Cole for Schroeder swap would feed families

NOP has no real center. Their *star* G/F Ingram is veing connected to so many trade rumours. Their *face* of teh franchise is so uncertain... yeab im not counting them out to just implode.

We didn't tank, we were bad, and we got Lucky in the lottery draw

Ask Houston and Detroit how tanking worked for them, they tanked hard and didn't get Lucky with the ping-pong balls

Detroit too got number one pick, plus 3 number 5 picks, they just did not pick wisely...

Didn't tank????

Was I the only one who saw those games where we had a chance of winning but then coach Mos weirdly benched the players playing good and sent in "cold" players to lose us games?

Utah fan in their game thread:

I... I don't know if Keyonte is an NBA player.

There's just nothing here.

Also, Hendricks went down with an AWFUL injury. I didn't see it but it has been described as Paul George-like.

that game played in first 25 min in same fashion how game vs us played. Memphis was up by 20 midway through second quarter and just started bull****ing around where they opened doors for Bulls to return.


Oh and Smart went 0-11 from the floor

Up by 8
