The NBA Thread

NBA media when discussing their all star selections

Player misses 10 games for injury and load management: A moral failing. A pox on their family for multiple generations.

Player misses 8 games for antisemitism: **crickets**
I also never see any criticism of Jaylen Brown, who was actively cheering on holocaust deniers and tweeted support for a video of Black Israelite protestors telling a jewish counter-protestor that Hitler was great and the holocaust was a good thing for mankind. But that's a whole other conversation I suppose, so I digress....

Silence on JB, Tatum voted #1 all star by the media, pushing kyrie to the west :unsure::unsure::unsure:

Meanwhile, Bones (and his crew) and Murray openly fueding after Windy reported that the relationship Malone and Bones had disintegrated and Jamal said "we're a championship level team and need players who buy into their roles" after his second game in a row with 30+ points.

Like stfu and let the FO do their thing Jamal. All you're doing is killing his trade value.

As to the Kyrie thing, just don't let him wind up with the Lakers.

I’m very curious to see the Kyrie thing unfold AGAIN. Marks isn’t gonna get what he thinks he should get because Kyrie is a poisonous asset. Why would a team give up much of anything to get him if they know that he may not re-sign with the team trading for him? Who even has assets to give up for Kyrie to salary match and why would they want to add picks? I feel like it’s almost a lock for him to go to LA but don’t know what they would trade for him? Unless they manage to also trade KD and get picks? Then take westbrook back from LA? Don’t see WB and KD wanting to play together again…

Woj and other reporters all seem to say nobody cares about Kyrie (aside from LA and Dallas) but teams are way more interested in how this affects KD’s status…

The True Hoops crew think Marks either uses it to also get of Simmons or ignores the request because the team was winning while healthy (which is what I hope happenes).

The Nuggets have made it to the WCF 3x and lost to the Lakers each fucking time. Both of the times I was alive for, I was 80% certain we would lose to LA but also 90% certain they would have beaten the ECF team (09 Magic & 20 Heat).

It would be the epitome of everything wrong with the NBA if they get gifted Kyrie for the corpse of Westbrook and a 1st. And nobody wants to see how lopsided the officiating is about to be in any of their series after than Lebron tantrum.

You all see they got 16 4th quarter FTs in their comeback against the Pacers last night 😂

but who is gonna want simmons? kyrie and simmons are both negative assets. no team will be able to swing a trade for both guys financially. even if the nets were able to get a pick for Kyrie from the Lakers, they would have to pass any pick(s) they'd get for kyrie to a third team to get rid of simmons and probably even include one of their own picks.

I don't disagree. It's not viable. Which was kind of his point... he doesn't see any deal where it's worth it for the Nets to punt on this season.

I never thought I'd feel bad for KD but Kyrie is literally on the brink of tanking the entirety of his post-Warriors career 😂

I personally like KD and he’s real fun to watch. I don’t really feel bad because he could have told the nets to trade Kyrie and not Harden (although Harden to Philly seemed inevitable). He decided to stick by Kyrie who didn’t seem to return the favor. KD is probably gone too unless Marks somehow gets another superstar in BK and don’t see any path to that. But again, I don’t see a team giving up what Marks thinks KD is worth.
 
I don't think it will ever get old, watching Irving blow up his whole career because one time he watched a YouTube video about that.*

*For the purposes of this comment "that" could be literally anything you could possibly think of, but wouldn't because you are sheeple, unlike Kyrie and his Galaxy Brain.
 
The best thing about this whole thing is that the immediate reaction around the league is going to be every team trying to poach Durant and completely ignoring Irving. Which will make him SO MAD
He won’t be mad. He’ll just blame it on the new world order or whatever bullshit he had seen on instagram/YouTube
 
On the plus side the Liberty are gonna be great next year so Durant can drown his basketball woes by watching an actually good team.
At the expense of The Storm unfortunately. Had we kept Stewie we woulda had Vandersloot come aboard too. It’s probably better though to have the two super teams split in separate conferences so they can meet in the Finals.

I’m a Storm fan until the Bay Area eventually gets a team or they decide to bring the Monarchs back from the dead. Trust me, I’m trying to cope. Not a fan of this off-season but trying to make the best of it.
 
Yeah, fuck the Lakers, but as long as he gets sent somewhere in the west, I'll be fine.

I mean, it sounds like its the Clippers, Mavs or Lakers.

He could go to the Clippers and I'd still have 0 fear of them. Mavs-- depends what they are giving up and then he'd help ensure Luka leaves long term. Maybe within a season 😂

So again, I just hope he doesn't wind up w the Lakers. I trust Lebron to keep in line and that team would be scary.
