Around the NBA: 2022 Offseason

[inconceivable]

I hope it's nothing major

Simons

See a lot of Dame in his game. Just the subtle movements.

Simons studied Dame's moves.

Based on available highlights I've seen of Shaedon, I see a more athlethic Brandon Roy.

 

[THE HCP]

His legs couldn’t handle all that weight!

 

[THE HCP]

That’s why those guys gotta stay away from those Pro-Am games, you never know.

 

[AldoTrapani]

And @BonesJones wanted this fragile twig lol

 

[SharpesTriumph]

For sure.

It didn't work out but I remember Derek Anderson being a great get at the time too.

Jimmy Jackson.

Next Summer Detlef Schrempf.

Trader Bob had a way of getting talented players to sign in PDX.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Chet already injured?! Im shocked! I was assured he would be an MVP/DPOY caliber player and injuries concerns were overblown. Also, I hope he recovers soon.

Must really suck to have a teams lottery pick injured in a game before they even get to training camp.

It was my first thought seeing all this. The risk/reward...

So true. You can't bubble wrap these guys. They have to play.

 

[BigGameDamian]

I’m glad he didn’t fall to us!

 

[Wade Garrett]

Well,that didn't take long.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

The definition of irony. #BAMFAMS

 

[PHXBlazer1]

I'm headed to Vegas on Friday, plan on placing a substantial bet on the over for our win total!

 

[AldoTrapani]

Ironic the injury happened in Seattle. A fuck you to okc

 

[SIeepwalker]

Simons

Ok, but will this translate to NBA games where he's not playing against swordsmen ?

Don't post a picture of the entire ticket if you do.

That was before the cap rules changed.

 

[Eastoff]

How many lottery picks have been injured this class?

 

[calvin natt]

Pat Bev to Lakers for THT and Stanley Johnson

Fair point. Just off of my head Ivey, sharpe, and Daniels all got hurt. I’m sure there are others I’m forgetting

were you laughing when Shaedon tore his shoulder? Good grief, it's like some here never followed (let alone played) hoops. Everyone suffers injuries.

True, but tying an NBA record with 13 straight 3's was impressive.
(9 in a row in one game before missing) The guy can flat-out shoot.

As a pre-teen I'd go with my buddy to the Jewish Community Center where Blazers would occasionally show up for individual shooting workouts. Seeing Jim Paxson and Drazen shoot for 45 minutes or so was probably the most influential thing for my own game as it showed me what was actually possible. I kid you not, with a ball boy kicking it back out to them they'd regularly make 30-50 bombs in a row, miss one and then start the next streak without ever acting like they'd done a thing.

Easiest money in the NBA BY FAR.

Talen Horton-Tucker was once the future of the Lakers and considered untouchable. He is getting traded for Pat Bev.

Damnit now I got a "RENT" song stuck in my head. It's a good thing.

"Where'd you learn to tango?"

"With the French ambassadors daughter in her dorm room at ms. Porters. And you?

"With Nanette Himmelfarb, the rabiis daughter at the Scarsdale Jewish community center"

God I love that musical

Does this mean we don't get to read anymore THT for Dame trade proposals?

Heat to win their division would be close IMO.

Heat
Hawks/Hornets
Magic
Wizards

 

[SIeepwalker]

I might put 50€ on Blazers winning their division. It pays out 800€
