OFFICIAL NBA THREAD

Is there an NBA history thread?

Spoiler: Part 2

 

wish the vid ended with Pierce in the wheelchair

 

Guy shit his pants

 

good thread title dumpy!

 

Can’t wait to see all the practice film in his highlight reel.

 

should've tagged MG2 he was definitely a settler on Frankie Smokes Island

 

and Dragan Bender Island lol

 

Reading Bobby Marks' trade primer on ESPN+ and he has the following Jerami Grant proposals. Both of them seem like way too much value for him, but I would like it if they happened...

Chicago:

Trade we would like to see: Derrick Jones Jr., Patrick Williams and Portland's 2022 lottery-protected first-round pick to Detroit for Jerami Grant.

Memphis:

Trade we would like to see: Kyle Anderson, Brandon Clarke, Jarrett Culver, a 2022 first-round pick (owed from Utah), and a 2024 first-round pick (owed from Golden State) to Detroit for Jerami Grant, Rodney McGruder and Luka Garza.

 

saw several tweets that Portland was interested in Grant, did Marks have a trade scenario for them?

 

He did one fake trade for each team. This was his Portland fake trade:

Trade we would like to see: Covington to Phoenix for Dario Saric, Jalen Smith and two second round picks (2025 and 2026).

I think it would be tough for Portland to get Grant because you don't have many young/cheap assets and legally aren't allowed to trade a 1st rounder due to the protected one Memphis currently owns.

 

Idk how much Memphis needs Grant, but that seems like a reasonable price for Memphis to pay. Clarke has been marginalized in the rotation and those picks are either certain or likely trash and aren't even Memphis picks.

 

Seeing a Lakers fan complain about media coverage is, something...

 

I guess I've just really tried to keep my expectations for a potential return for him low because of how much the Pistons were trashed for giving him that deal just over barely over one year ago. And especially since his efficiency #s have gone down with the heavier work load. I like him and think he's good, but 2 first rounders this year or in the near future and a solid bench piece without taking on money in the long term is a pretty good price for him. Especially considering he's been out over a month and isn't even back yet with a bad thumb.

 

Sounds like we've got a deal

 

Ducking Austin Rivers again smh Dame get well soon

 

Tear it down

 

Should’ve traded him for Ben when you had the chance

 

Lolno

 

No one wants that broken, misfit toy

 

100% Awesome

 

Looks like the type of shots you see from a D3 end of the bench player who only made the team because their parents donated a bunch of money.

 

Not sure how much longer I can watch magic games. Holy hell

 

Does he have vertigo or something?

 

Been grizzing in my pants a whole lot lately

 

Does he ever make Tim Duncan bank shots from the wing on those mid-range jumpers? I haven't really watched him in years and I don't recall that being his thing, so I'm curious if he's trying to add that to his repertoire this year.

 

that first possession was pretty amazing

Magic had 6 offensive rebounds and 7 shots that weren’t close

 

Yes, his misses were often terrible last year but nowhere near that highlight tape

 

Nah, if he's not in the free throw area it's always been dicey

 

I'm fairly convinced that the Hawks are bad solely because of our Hawks posters

 

cant decide if that’s worse or Johnathan Isaac working with Ben Shapiro and writing a book about not kneeling

 

Hawks had to sacrifice the year so UGA could win it all. Plus we will just get lucky now and get Jabari Smith in the draft.

Now if your team would just win at a little better clip, we can get your first rounder.

 

no its still all lloyd pierces fault

 

I don't know who the fuck Lamar Stevens is but thru 3 quarters he's got a game-high for points
