Looks like we really did break them. They are now on a 4 game losing streak after losing 10 all year prior to our game

To Suns. Who always look so much better when $50M man is out. Beal .
But how about Blazers!
Avdija serge into one of best nba connectors, Scoot and Sharpe doing well, Camara is a gem.
it will be interesting to see will they seek to trade Simons and Ayton. He is expiring money next year. I don't think they want to keep him.

Re: Around the League: 2024-25 Season
Crazy stat of a day.
Bogdan Bogdanović made 15 threes on 19 shots. In past 5 games alone
And some said he is washed and not worth trading for

Gary Harris has played in 37 games this season, and in 18 of those games he has scored zero points.
An amazing 48.6% zombie rate.
(in another 7 games he has only made a single FG. Meaning 25 games with 1 or less FGs).
(in 35 of 37 games, he has scored in single digits)

Hawks and Bulls both won.
For the 8-seed, Orlando is thus 1 1/2 games back of the Hawks and only 2 games over the Bulls.

Re: Around the League: 2024-25 Season
Ayton, Simons, and Grant are arguably better than the core we had of Vuc, Gordon, and Fournier. Portland could trade them all next season for assets and not even miss them.pepe1991 wrote:thelead wrote:thelead wrote:At least we broke the Cavs

Re: Around the League: 2024-25 Season
Bulls dropping 146 in LA on the Lakers who had both Luka and LeBron was something.
Hawks beat the Warriors and will probably beat the Sixers again tonight.
Nothing is going to be given to us.

Ayton had all the tools in the world, and yet history will only remember him as guy who was taken 1st in draft that Luka.

Man Quentin Grimes could have been had for cheap. That guy has been ballin. “Pointless Games”…. Sure, but he is showcasing playmaking and his ability to score.
Been impressed
That’s why you make moves at the deadline. Grimes was a star in college at Houston. Never had the opportunity.

those kind of guys are around...it's not that hard if you're just willing to make a deal and recognize that it doesn't have to be a theft.
We're very fortunate that we don't NEED another star, just the right guys that fit.
We're also very unfortunate that our GM is stuck in mud and still hasn't asked his assistant how to get an outside line.

He could be had for about $8-10 mil per. Better than Harris.

Agree with both of you!
He could have slid in next to Paolo/Franz. His playmaking that he has been doing with the 76ers is gonna make him some extra money.

He is a Restricted Free Agent, right? So Philly can match.
BTW what if 76ers dump Joel Embiid's contract this summer. I wonder who are going to be the buyers for him.

76ers will have very hard time keeping him due their salary situation and due sheer fact that Nets/Pistons can just throw $20M a year and 76ers can't match without surpassing to second apron.

Pistons won't target him because he bailed on the Pistons when they had him. He didn't want to play and they traded him for peanuts.

Nets will dictate FA. They have like $120M of cap space to fill.
