NBA Season 25/26

[Taiso]

Because fami, whatever his virtues are, has the political brain of a child and can't help himself. It is what it is.

Wasabi banned him before but Tak brought him back.
Fami really wanted that second ban.

Allen Iverson is in some big trouble for being a total diva and dick to kids with cancer in Australia.

Giannis trade when?

[Fygee]

Watch him end up on the Lakers or Warriors, because that's just how the NBA works these days.

Looks like Booker won't be out as long as Suns fans feared. He'll be evaluated in a week. Green should be back next week as well.

Knicks appear to have righted the ship winning 4 straight.

Hornets and Clippers are now overachieving, with the latter having won 9 of their last 10 games. May be too little, too late though.

 

[Taiso]

At this point, I expect Giannis to end up on the Dodgers.

 

[Fygee]

Mid-career Jordan 2.0. At least it would be the majors and not the minors.

 

[Taiso]

The Dodgers will sign Mike, too. Just you watch!

You heard it here first, folks!

Of all the fucking bizarre ass places to do it, this site is the one that finally made me just say fuck politics and live my own life. I genuinely appreciate all of you lads for getting me there.

Goddamn it, on topic, Nuggies gonna beat OKC in 7 then destroy Detroit.

 

[100proof]

I mean I'll take that... I win $250ish dollars if the Nugs win the title but Aaron Gordon is officially injury-prone and without him, I don't know that the Nugs can hang with OKC. It's been proven time and again that Jokic can't do it by himself.

Congrats on escaping the doomscrolling misery wheel. It's just not good for your mental health and 90+% of it is pathetic attention seeking behavior anyway. Take care of you and yours and donate to good causes that help people in need.

 

[Fygee]

Suns beat the Pistons despite Booker and Green both still being out, and Gillespie being hampered by a still healing wrist. Brooks scored a career high 40 points.

Cooper Flagg and Kon Knueppel had a battle of the ROTY candidates, with Flagg scoring 49 points, the youngest player to ever do so in NBA history. Dude is still only 19. Knueppel also put in 34, so nothing to sniff at there.

Timberpups beat the Thunder.

James Harden trade landing spots: Cavaliers have compelling offer, but what about Rockets reunion?

These three destinations could work if James Harden is dealt again by Thursday's trade deadline.

That not a bad trade for the wizards…

 

[100proof]

I mean AD and Trae will likely play a whopping total of 10 games together but they basically gave up nothing for either of them (a bunch of expirings, bench riders and shitty picks) so no harm in tanking the rest of this season, hopefully getting a Top 3 pick to add to Sarr, Trae, Tre and AD and rolling the dice. Doesn't take much to compete in the East these days and even if AD and Trae gave you 50-60 games a piece, that's a Top 6 seed easy. Get the youngins some veteran leadership and experience in games that matter and then dump AD before giving him a max extension like the Wiz would normally do.

More likely, neither of them will play a lick of meaningful basketball and the Wiz will extend both of them because they're cursed to be dumb as fuck.

Lol Warriors

Reports: Warriors deal Jonathan Kuminga, Buddy Hield for Kristaps Porziņģis

The Warriors have reportedly added a frontcourt presence in Kristaps Porziņģis, trading Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hield to Atlanta.

Crazier things have happened. Time will tell. If AD can somehow stay healthy, the combo of him, Trae, and Dlo could evolve into a real threat.

Also, a win for the Mavs now that they have their now and future All-Star in Cooper Flagg. Picks and assets to build around him.

Warriors won that trade. Kuminga is locker room poison.

Giannis is stuck with the Bucks. I suspect he'll keep any drama on the DL until the offseason hits. His agent, however, is another story.

Suns tracked Nick Richards (who I know they'd been trying to offline) and Nigel Hayes-Davis to the Bucks for Cole Anthony and Amir Coffey, who are...most definitely basketball players. I'm glad they didn't try to swing for the fences and get Giannis by blowing up the team once again.

CP3 was traded to the Raptors, which confuses me because he was waived. I guess that's a thing if you haven't signed up with another team yet. I wish the Suns had brought him back as a bench PG and the overall positive effect he has on teams, but it be what it be.

Schroeder made an ass of himself by calling the NBA "modern-day slavery". I get he's frustrated about being a hot potato when it comes to trades, but dude is still making millions of dollars doing it, and there's nothing preventing him from quitting other than fatty paycheck.

 

[racecar]

Modern day slavery lol ….sounds like sprewell.

Anthony Davis reportedly expected to sit for rest of season after trade to Wizards

Anthony Davis will rest to avoid hurting his finger and the Wizards' draft position.

That's good news. Hopefully, they finalize it. Vegas having its own team will be a dream come true for me, and the return of the Supersonics will be awesome for the NBA and Seattle.
