2023-2024 Official Around the NBA Discussion Thread

So to all the people that said if we got the #1 pick they would trade it to Dallas for Luka...you still on that train?

Yes?
Victor is apsolute monster but let's not pretend that biggest question mark will be his ability to stay healthy.

Where Luka so far has been durable, is top 3-5 player, is still very young , put 3 and D guys around him, some spacing and you are good to go.


Victor 100% is one of most unique, not just basketball but any sports athletes ever. 7'4, crazy mobility, crazy lenght. Guy looks like he was made in lab. But most people built like him tend to be very injury prone. Maybe he will be unique in that sense as well. Maybe, Maybe not.

If you ask, i would rather have top 5 player who can give me 60-70 games for sure, than guy who has potential to be GOAT but also potential to be new Isaac.

Put Luka on this team in Fultz's place and we are contenders.

This hits hard

They had next with Durant, Harden, and Westbrook too.

You never know what will happen in this league. Not that I think we have a better chance. We’ll never win a championship with this ownership and front office group.

I agree on ownership, they are just too culturally different.

Management though, I'm optimistic about their investments in data analysis, facilities, and player development.

So Dwight Howard admitted he hooked up with that man suing him but didn't sexually assault him. I knew he was gay, I wonder if anyone knew while he was in his prime or if he was able to hide it?

There was gossip, but no one cared/cares. Sexual assault though is unacceptable, obviously.

Where do you find this "news"???

Seems like he's bisexual, no?

With how many kids he has? Then yeah...

Sucks that we have to watch the Lakers every other night.

Google it, he admitted to hooking up, but denied the sexual assault. So he's at least bi sexual. Not that it matters, but still an interesting dynamic wondering what he went thru during his playing days trying to hide it.

I’ll be behind the bench tomorrow. Black hat with our 90s logo. Going to do my best listening in on timeouts, player chatter, etc. I’ll report back Thursday morning if I catch anything worthwhile. Don’t know if it’s true but I’m told Sweet Lew might be sitting a seat to my left? If true, I’ll ask him if Dwight was into guys

Especially back then I'd imagine players would do anything to hide it, the stigma is bad even today in the nba, but back then it was even worse. I'd imagine most of Dwights teammates had no idea.

Did you guys watch that GSW vs PHO battle? Man... how time flies when these guys are getting on in years.

Also our past fave picks in KumBucket and Moody didnt really show that much huh.

Moody is so good, he did play really well

I thought they both played well ( Kum /Moody) , but Warriors starters were bad. Very bad.
Wiggins 4-12, Klay 6-18 , Paul 4-15. Cumulative 14-45 (31% FG).

in 4 games loss, Wiggins had plus minus of - 22


Nuggets won, but damn that banch is bad. Are you really gonna rely on Reggie Jackson as 6th man ?

In the limited minutes sure... but you are telling me he cant play over GP3 or others during the 2 d half?

I dunno... kuminga was routinely blocked a lot going to the hoop. Fouled a lot too...

Well was probably too strong of a word. Okey is better

My biggest suprise performances was Okogie. Guy has nothing but effort. Brings no skills. And yet he made several good plays, including that double-pumpfake around 4 Warriors players.

Were people talking about that back in the day? I don't recall hearing that.
