Re: Around the League: 2024-25 Season
Houston with an 8 man rotation... and playing their vets down the stretch:
Adams
Sengun
Brooks
Thompson
FVV
Eason, Green, and Jabari get to watch from the bench.

Sengun and Amen make the cut. Is this anything? I also really like Jabari

BOS might break up next season but CLE is still going strong.
NYK and MIL have too many flaws i admit.
Alex Martins 2030!!!! Lol

Podzilla… I wanted him with that 11th pick. GSW got a real one with him. Crazy that he’s getting more PT and larger role than Kuminga and Moody who were lotto picks.

Butler needs a good doco on him when it’s all said and done. The way this guy can just step on to teams and elevate their standard. He’s done it in Chicago, Minnesota, Philly, Miami and now GSW.

I can see that. He’s disruptive on his way out of teams that’s for sure. But the guy can back up his demands and take a team to the finals twice, so maybe those teams should’ve done more to accommodate him?

I want to hate him, when he acts so disruptive to the team that worked hard and paid hard to have him...but, man he IS THE FLOOR_RAISER

Re: Around the League: 2024-25 Season
I don't remember if this was ever an option for us a realistic option for us if we had had more lottery luck that year, but the more I watch him, the more happy I am we didn't draft Jalen Green, the guy is such a dumb player and has barely improved since his rookie season.

The potential is there still. He needs to let someone in to improve his mental game. Seems to still think like a kid.

Cleveland won't be able to keep it together for *too* terribly long either. Mobley winning DPOY increased his contract by almost $50M in total.
If they resign Jerome, they're gonna be DEEP into the second apron and they'll probably only be willing to play around there like two seasons at most?
But their owner also has a net worth of 24 billion, so maybe he'll just pay hundreds of millions in luxury taxes to try and cash in another title, only this time without LeBron.

Re: Around the League: 2024-25 Season
If I were Jerome, I'd try to get to Brooklyn. They have money to spend. If he got a wink wink deal from the Cavs, they still won't have a bunch of money to spend the next season.Knightro wrote:RookieStar wrote:KillMonger wrote:Only a matter of time when we're running the entire east not just the southeast

If I were Brooklyn and I have approximately 1 zillion in cap space, I'm aiming higher and resisting paying Jerome significantly more than MLE amount anyway. Jerome looks great and would drop right into our lineup's needs...but he's far from a proven player in a big role. I really want to pursue him, but I wouldn't want to make him a key piece in a total rebuild.

Yeah... these new rules really break up dynastic super teams. Good for the league.
I wonder if this was a "everything went right" season for the Cavs or is this their floor. A top 1/2 team in the East. For me, thy have this, next and possibly the next next season to get a ring. Then its gonna be hard.
