nba off season 2024 bud 2 suns etc

it’s driving me nuts lol they’re right next to each other on bookmarks too and are indistinguishable on quick glance

heh

it's the eason for the season

spurs should draft alex sarr and go full team frahnce

they could def go for paris texas status, they already have wemby and sidy cissoko (played mostly g league, but should probably get more time in the big club this year). theres not only sarr but risacher and tidjane salaun likely going in the lottery. i think risacher would be a great fit if he's as good a shooter as he seems, sarr im less convinced would work as a non-floor spreading big next to wemby.

Spurs would have the no. 1 pick with the "Gold Plan":

Thanks for continuing to champion the Gold Plan!

Here's the NBA version, with the Spurs running away with a second straight #1 pick by playing hard down the stretch.

im sorry i will never support anything with this obamacare exchange ass sounding name

lol it was invented by a guy named Gold!

which is kind of Obamacare-esque really

ha

what a coincidence that the guy who made obamacare was named obama

I didn't realize that Jontay Porter is Michael Porter Jr.'s brother, or that his other bro Coban was about to do eight years in prison for drunk driving/killing a lady.

damn rough times for the porter family

entering the portal

portal check

portal rico babyyyy

hes prob right, hawks gotta trade one of trae or dejounte, gsw could shake things up, lebron could leave la, bulls might finally blow it up, the aforementioned d mitch, utah might go full tank 4 cooper and trade lauri, who knows who might flame out in the offs early and panic trade we could be seeing some deals folks which is almost as good as the games

beal wrote that in the cms

Absolutely haha. Whole team got the memo were blaming Vogel and gonna give this another shot with a new coach next year and it will all be different we promise

Denver should draft Bron Jr just for giggles

lebron, welcome to the offs eason

lebron leaving la and letting the lakers empire crumble, lets gooooooo

There’s gonna be a lot of big moves this offseason I think

New Orleans Pelicans, welcome to the offs eason too. Sorry that you have to play Farrah Fawcett to the famous Lakers of Los Angeles

what can lebron really do it's quite the conundrum

there is not an obvious pick here, he could always say fuck it round 3 in cleveland and thatd be fun. knicks would be fun but i think thibs would murder him with 40 mpg. gs might lure him to their retirement home with the promise of free tech stocks. or maybe he really will go to whomever drafts bronny and suffer in utah or something, i mean d wade kinda owns part of the team.

but the real answer is spurs, he'd be great with wemby

confirmed

He needs Trae by his side in LA

Maybe consider Milwaukee

Would he make sense in Philly? I think he would, but doubt that's the kind of market or team he is looking for.

it would be cool for him to play for a year on whatever team drafts his son, unfortunately I just don't think Bronny is good enough. he could be the next Thanasis I guess

he was considered a legit nba prospect before the heart attack theres a chance he could get back there but proving it in college would be good

it seems like even putting that aside, draft media got way over their skis on bronny. he’s like an avery bradley type but even worse at offense

i mean its a nice story for them, getting drafted off yr name then face planting in the nba wouldnt be as pleasant

I wonder if someone will be willing to burn a second rounder if it's a package deal with LeBron

i think someone for sure would, does bron want to do it idk seems like a weird sitch

like is bron willing to make the midlevel instead of $50m seems like probably not, in that case youre looking at a trade to get him somewhere else which isnt that easy, would the lakers take bronny in the second round to make bron happy, it does seem like a lakers type thing to do, except that they havent really been on board with gm lebron so idk, him staying in la and not playing with bronny seems like the most likely outcome, but also bron obvs has not been afraid of big moves in the past so maybe hell do it again

maybe the sixers will draft bronny and sign bron the ultimate morey caper

it's an interesting situation because despite being really old for an NBA player his numbers haven't really dropped off nor has he gotten hurt, feel like he could be really good in a 3rd banana role where he plays 25-30 MPG for another 3 years

ah, well, nevertheless!

whatre u gonna do

the new structure with the aprons def adds some uncertainty but i think the calculations with these rookie extensions are prob not that different signing guys who are on the upswing of their careers usually works out pretty well and even if it doesnt youre only allowed to offer them so much, thing that might be more affected is those second max deals the real big ones, already seen kat get traded cause that contract was just too big, will be interesting to see if teams are as willing to hand them out, also were already seeing changes at the low end teams not using their midlevel exemptions only carrying 14 guys players like lonnie walker or gary trent who in years past who at least couldve gotten a piece of a mid level deal are signing for the minimum or dont have deals at all yet

this embiid situation seems really bad preseason youve got nothing to do but get ready for the season he only played one preseason game and still couldnt do it his knee might just be cooked

i mean is there an injury reported whatre we looking at here

I don't think he played any preseason games, which supposedly was always the plan. Last year he only played a single preseason game.

I mean it's not good, but if they keep him on ice the early part of the season and he is healthy for the stretch and playoffs that might be better than what has happened the last x number of years.

progressing well and ramping up ok

76ers: Joel Embiid and Paul George are out for opener vs. Bucks on Wednesday. Embiid is progressing well and ramping up, scrimmaging this week. He will not play this week. George will be re-evaluated later in the week. pic.twitter.com/oDFyAx1mbz

2024-25 NBA Regular Season Thread – Capture the Flagg or King of the Hill?

That PG photo looks like he is out for personal reasons (high as fuck).

It’s not the end of the world that Embiid is missing the first couple games of the season, but you can’t just go “THIS IS ALL ACCORDING TO PLAN” and never explain what the plan was or why this is the plan.

He played in the Olympics 2 months ago. Why hasn’t he scrimmaged since?…

— Mike O'Connor (@MOConnor_NBA) October 22, 2024

the part i still don't understand about this entire idea is that embiid famously can only stay in adequate NBA shape when regularly playing NBA basketball, and yet the plan is for him to intentionally play in fewer games, so that when he gets to the playoffs, he is 100% and ready to go. this makes me feel like i somehow have watched embiid's career more closely than the people actually running the sixers, which isn't true and isn't possible, and yet!!

He didn't look great in the Olympics and he shouldn't have played, but I think that was an Embiid call, not a Sixers call.

Agreed that they could maybe be clearer, but they did announce a load management plan (not going to play any b2bs this year) at the same time they said he wasn't going to play in the preseason. So I think it is "some highly calculated long term load management regimen" even if they haven't explicitly said that and maybe/probably it's not going to work.

teams are allowed to hold players out of international play for injury reasons fwiw, obvs there are more interpersonal political reasons for the sixers to let him do what he wants tho

That PG photo looks like he is out for personal reasons (high as fuck).
