OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA: DECEMBER 2024 (1 Viewer)

[KingSpeed]

Mo Wagner out for the season. Can we interest the Magic in a RW3 + Ant deal for 2 FRPs?

Oh that’s terrible. Orlando playing so well but too many injuries holding them back from contention.

Bronny is Back

Posted twice about it in the same thread… back to back… you must be pumped to see your favorite father son combo play for your favorite team.

What is going on in the NBA with these refs?

Is this good or bad?

Id buy him a footlong.

5 minutes later this happens:

Was that a foul by Joel ? Could have challenged it? The Drummond call was a joke. Tell me they aren’t protecting (clearly soft) player like Wemby.

He’s the new golden child apparently.

That’s one of my big gripes with the NBA. The refs are too much a part of the narrative.

Warriors might think about blowing it up soon.

Warriors might think about blowing it up soon.

Didn't they just give up something to acquire Schroeder?

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Only 1 losses from West 6 to 11th seed.

That a big difference, making the playoffs vs missing the playin.

I guess I'm starting to feel pretty safe that the pick we owe Chicago will only be a 2nd rounder.

I love Deni but Blazers could have drafted this guy at 14.
“I see Kel’el as improved from this summer,” Spoelstra said. “He’s unique. His size, his quick twitch, he can impact the game on both ends. So we’ll just continue to work with him. It’s been a joy to work and develop him as a staff.”

The new Hassan Whiteside

 

[PDXFonz]

Bucks gonna beat the Thunder to win the cup is my guess

I forgot to boast

 

[andalusian]

I forgot to boast

No you didn't. You were just slow to do it.

 

[wizenheimer]

No you didn't. You were just slow to do it.

boasts are a dish best tasted cold?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Make sure the audio is on!

Somehow Cronin managed to not just hand out a horrible contract to Nurk that yes is a negative contract,

But then he was able to find about the only center on an even worse contract to bring to Portland in Nurks place.

Scary thing is Nurk might only be the 5th worst contract Cronin has signed/acquired. Cronin has only completed 2 full seasons start to finish as the Blazers GM - so I shudder to think what this franchise could look like after a decade.

Notice that it's all women who want to watch him put on his clothes.

Only in Portland do fans assume a losing GM will last a decade. That's why I got so much resistance for many years, convincing people to replace Olshey.

When I followed the Lakers and then Sonics, the GM was there...for the time being...as long as he did well.

Keep seeing these Blazer trade proposals pop up on Google. Good laughs. Most of them not realistic.

Last one wanted us to give up Grant, Sharpe, and a 2027 1st for Zion.

Hell no

Ha! Check out fanspo trades

I told you all we should have drafted Wemby instead of Scoot.

Hell no

They are now all AI/idiot generated. No longer human journalists out there. SI, SN, etc are all bot generated stories. Sad really.

[inconceivable]

He will be traded to Milwaukee for Middleton

 

[Cugel]

I can’t imagine which contender would want him. Probably he will go to the Lakers for 2 unprotected frp and whatever salary would match. He is simply too old and cannot be counted on but you KNOW some GM will pull the trigger on him.
