The Official NBA Season Thread: Season Starts Now

[storm2006]

“A source who was granted anonymity so they could speak freely” is the new “Several front office executives are saying”

 

[keko jones]

Part of this being funny is knowing alot of this is facts .... whether it be Lebrons Reactions or Fans ... LMAO

 

[nick.]

So KAT is 1000% getting traded to the Knicks this summer right?

i'd sign up for Brunson-Grimes-Hart-Randle-KAT

 

[g-time]

Randle would have to go in the trade though right? For salaries?

 

[B Sox]

RJ’s extension kicks in next year.

Could be RJ and Mitchell sent out.

I would hope so.

IQ & Obi are starting level talents that can be dealt for more firepower.

JB-RJ-Bridges-Kat-Mitch
Deuce-Grimes-Hart-iHart
Sims

That team wouldn’t even be reaching their primes but ECF not out the picture neither.

where did Bridges come from

KAT-Mitch frontcourt is just a worse version of KAT-Gobert

 

[Mister Meaner]

Nova reunion for Bridges cuz I don’t see why Bklyn will hold onto him with the value sky high and Ben Simmons leading the way.

Longshot but he’s going to be a hot commodity this year. Gotta put your bid in.

I can’t argue on the Goober comp but I swear Mitch isn’t the offensive blackhole the Frenchman is.

Lakers sweep every game by 25+

What would LeBron be doing, Magic facilitating, Shaq and Kareem going to be down low. Kobe at the wing. Just don't get the spacing because Kobe and Magic going to get on LeBron tell him get off 3pt line.

I understand supporting your teammate, but pause with the adjectives my guy.

 

[Mister Meaner]

Ever since that little in szn series against the Bulls, I will occasionally check out one of their utube pods and the pain has been soothing.

So soothing I’m tempted to subscribe.

curry wanted wiseman traded… to get 5 second round picks in the year 2047

??

They used those in GP2 trade

 

[antidope]

Good for him. Private Equity is lowkey ruining sports team ownership. Taking all of the passion out of it. At least this way, with an actual athlete as GP of a fund, it won't be another "I am here only cause this thing prints money" scenario at the top of the stack.

As a fan of the sport, its very disheartening to see sports team ownership shift more and more towards the "I am here cause this thing prints money, look at the returns it produces people" which is why for all his faults I mess with Mark Cuban. He actually cares. That Matt Ishiba guy seems like he cares.

 

[B Sox]

I think the new wave of owners all care.

 

[don ramon]

barkley has expressed some awful opinions on social matters in the past via his class divisive rhetoric so it fits in with chris licht's wave of right of center programming on cnn where worry free "let's just agree to disagree" talk has drowned out right vs wrong.

I knew the Mavericks were about 1/2 of Cuban’s net worth (most of the other half is AMZN and NFLX stock ownership). What I didn’t realize is that I think he differs from a lot of owners in that the Mavs are his primary annual income stream at somewhere between $100-140MM.

So that broke boi narrative isn’t true. He just has a different set of circumstances than some other owners. Actually kind of a cool place to be in IMO. Do Shark Tank, chill and make a couple hundred million annually as your stocks appreciate and you can focus on the Mavs

[atlsfinest]

These are actually kind of fire. Look too much like Jordan though. The funny thing is that Kawhi Leonard's New balance run of shoes have actually been pretty good looking but I've literally never seen anyone wearing them. I even see people wear Steph's shoes, but no one is rocking Kawhi's

 

[WASHED KING]

I think the new wave of owners all care.

Who is this "new wave"

 

[pmatic]

Nasty labels, but on topic:

Russ revenge tour back in LA.

The story couldn’t write itself any better.

I’m ready.
