Thursday 10/26 NBA Game Thread

[Sixteen]

The Nets can offer a better deal than any of those teams.

OKC. Chet/Embiid/SGA!

Nets would have to gut their roster as they don't have the same number of picks.

Embiid does not fit their timeline. Making a deal makes no sense.



The Nets can offer Nic Claxton and Cam Thomas. 2 young solid rebuilding pieces plus picks

no where near enough for Embiid imo. Two role players. Cam is wildly inefficient and more mid picks? and why would embiid want to go to the Nets..dude is trying to win. This team got swept two years in a row

Right. I’ve been to Portland. It’s not a good city.

Depends when you went there and what you are looking for, there are a lot of things to like about Portland. But sure if you lived in NYC your whole life and love that type of city it's not like that.

Whenever or wherever you go, and to be fair I've never been to PDX, Portland is not matching South Beach for a young single multimillionaire.

Portland is great. But then I don't like big cities much. Slabtown is it? Cool area. Forrest Park was great. Not been to Miami, but if it is anything like LA I can't see myself enjoying it that much.

Nets should've learned their lesson by now....do a proper rebuild....Embiid isn't the way to go.

The Nets cannot do a proper rebuild because HOU owns their picks. They need to win right now

I HATE Miami. I'm not about that lifestyle but Herro sure seams to be that type of dude.

I love Giannis and Embiid going at each other

[AussieCeltic]

Maxey seems to go into his shell with Embiid on. He needs to be aggressive

[Marvin Martian]

Giannis finally gets called for a push off

[Statlanta]

I’m happy they call both the Embiid flop and the 1,000,000th shoulder charge from Giannis

How are the Nets on a better timeline than OKC? Shai is an MVP-caliber player RIGHT NOW and is 25.

[Wolfgang630]

Embiid will want to win. How then hell is Brooklyn a good destination?? Isn’t Embiid 30 years old? He needs to be a on a team that either he will be the missing piece to put a team to championship level or the team is already there.

[DCasey91]

Harris and Tucker are lmao, hurry up and trade both of them over it

[levon]

Most intense flopping you'll ever see

Whenever or wherever you go, and to be fair I've never been to PDX, Portland is not matching South Beach for a young single multimillionaire. Not everyone is looking for that but Herro definitely appears to be about that South Beach lifestyle.

I was commenting on him claiming it's not a good city I get that if you have tons of money it's not the best city for the I want to go clubbing lifestyle. Though I will say for most guys like that it's extremely hard to do that **** during the season, they mostly do it during the off-season anyways and they can easily go to whatever destination they want then.

The NBA season is a whopping 82 games in a pretty damn short time span, it's very hard to find many nights to party like that if they care about being ready to play.

Embiid isn't going to be a cheap....I don't think Nets are willing to give up the amount of picks it would take.

Most intense flopping you'll ever see

Shoulder Charging versus Flopping

Unstoppable Force versus Immovable Object

[SlovenianDragon]

Embiid the flopper 3-8 FT

and

Giannis the football player 3-8 ft

Amazing basketball...

[Wolfgang630]

Giannis losing the ball driving again.

[djsunyc]

kudos to philly for hanging around.

[G R E Y]

This half court pace is like when you watch something on YouTube but slow the speed way down.

[OldSchoolNoBull]

There have been good reasons given why Brooklyn probably isn’t a likely destination for Embiid, but perhaps the biggest is that it would require Embiid and Simmons playing together again. That’s a bad idea on both a personal and a basketball level.
