2022-23 NBA Thread

Trading Wiseman for no returning players saved Golden State $131 million over the next two years in luxury taxes & salary.

Durant just thinks he is “the guy”.

In reality, he needs “a guy” to win. Then, he gets jealous and moves on.

Who is "the guy" on the Suns?  Are we gonna say Booker is a better player than KD now?

[MU82]

I am in the small group that considers Kareem the GOAT. He was the high school GOAT, He was the college GOAT, and he was the NBA GOAT.

Seth Davis tweeted the exact same thing.

I have no opinion about the HS and NCAA parts, but I respectfully disagree about the NBA piece. I saw Jordan rip out too many opposing team's hearts; plus, once Magic got to the Lakers, they really were his team and not Kareem's.

[Jockey]

Yup.

Also, if all Jae is is a front court Wes, that helps a ton. Although I think he’s got a little more in the tank than Wes.

Yes, it still helps the team. The bench is really important in the playoffs. If he can give 12-15 quality minutes a game, it will be a good pickup.

I didn’t say Booker was better. I AM saying that KD is not an Alpha in today’s NBA.

Is Seth on Scoop to be able to see my comment?

The advantage of being a couple years older than you is that I was able to watch Kareem play in College and the early years in the NBA.

But I have no issue with anyone who thins MJ or LeBron is the best ever. A solid case can be made for each.

No idea what the Bulls are doing.

[cheebs09]

Kind of a weird deadline. A lot happened, but at the same time it didn’t feel like much really happened. Maybe because Durant and Kyrie were traded yesterday or before.

The Raptors didn’t sell as much. Neither Bogdanovic was traded.

Do you work in the Bulls' front office?

[GB Warrior]

I suspect the Bulls tried to attach picks to a salary dump of Lonzo, but things fell through when they were pressed to provide proof of life.

[DegenerateDish]

This whole Bulls thing is pointless. They’re going nowhere, lose to the Nets JV team, do nothing at the deadline. They’re the classic stuck in hell team, and worst part is they deserve this fate.

Totally meaningless season and franchise right now.

They're a complete disaster. 

[MuggsyB]

Giannis on pace to have 15 dunks tonight.

[WhiteTrash]

They're a complete disaster.

Agreed. I think the Bulls' front office is asking "what's going on with the Bulls?" also.

Exactly.  WTH is the plan with this group?

[MuggsyB]

Pretty frustrating performance by the Bucks vs the Lakers. 7-32 from distance??    Hopefully they wake up.

They’re awake.

It’s LA. They’re all hung over.

Kevin Harlan: “Anthony Davis is grimacing.”

Reggie Miller: “That’s the last thing Laker fans wanna see. Anytime Anthony Davis grimaces, it’s 3 weeks.”

[MuggsyB]

How long is Curry out?

[MuggsyB]

What's everyone's current 8 man rotation?

Is it:

Giannis
Embiid
Tatum
Doncic
Curry
Jokic
Morant
Durant

?

[StillAWarrior]

I found it mildly interesting that the four NBA scores last night were 115-104, 116-107, 116-105, and 115-106.

American businessman/Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam and Haslam Sports Group are in serious talks to buy Milwaukee Bucks co-owner Marc Lasry's stake in the Bucks, sources tell me, @sam_amick and @eric_nehm.
