Exclusive OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA: FEBRUARY 2023

Pretty interesting the collection of posters who are absolutely sure this is a fake account and that trade absolutely is not happening.

If it's on the internets it's true.

If it's on the internets it's true.

Very wise grasshopper.

StatMuse: Lauri Markkanen has more points than Donovan Mitchell this season. Walker Kessler has more blocks than Rudy Gobert this season. Huge trades for Utah.

We should have hired Ainge. I still can’t believe we gave Cronin the permanent position without even doing interviews.

Totally agree. If you are going to try to build a winner why not go with someone who has won?

 

[KingSpeed]

My problem is that in order for us to get the picks we have to guarantee Chicago the pick this year and if we somehow missed the playoffs and that pick ended up top 4, we would be kicking ourselves and most likely Joe would be looking for a new job.

Which is why we should probably tank. Even with OG on the team. He’s hurt anyway. Then we contend in a couple years.

I don't know how anyone watches what Dame is doing and thinks TANK instead of thinking, get this man some help so we can capitalize on what he's doing right fucking now.

You DO realize who you are replying to right?

Wish he was our starting small forward.

The Pelicans are getting dominated by 30 points and about to lose their 10th game in a row. Did they even see the cliff before they fell off?

They went 3-13 in January. Sheesh.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

If I'm not mistaken they could have had him?

And the Grizzlies lost again today. If Warriors lose to the Nuggets things get interesting again.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Not a good look.

He's a dawg, the kind Chauncey wants.

Probably still in his head how bad Lillard owned him last night and he’s frustrated.

Brooks has one of the most punchable faces in the NBA

Exactly

Draft is best way for us to get Dame star level talent. Imagine Wembenyama in the pick and roll with Dame. Give them a year two to gel and we could be talking about more than just one title. We’re talking dynasty with Simons taking over for Dame midway through. See? If we just tank, we don’t have to trade Ant or anybody else. We just draft a guy for free.

Wembenyama > Siakam or Vanderbilt or OG

Sure it’d be nice to get Giannis for Keon but it ain’t happening.

 

[Strenuus]

Lol I like how you write this like OG is already on the team.

I feel like we just need a mean girls "stop trying to make wemby happen" for every time someone thinks we're ever going to get him.

 

[KingSpeed]

The way I see it, 48 wins gets the 3 seed. So we have to 23-8 if we want to talk contention this season. Forget the others. Just win a lot and everything will take care of itself. But yeah, I’m still rooting for the Nuggets tonight.

No. Just making the point that we could trade for him and still tank.

 

[KingSpeed]

I feel like we just need a mean girls "stop trying to make wemby happen" for every time someone thinks we're ever going to get him.

If we focused, we could drop to #5 draft spot and have a 10% chance of Wemby which is better than our odds of winning a title this year. So why shouldn’t we tank?

I’m rooting for the Nuggets also.
Contend ?
Would take a whole bunch of things to happen to get the Blazers in a position to even talk like that.
Just happy they are winning a few and staying in the hunt.

I’m not happy with that. Win 8 of next 10 and I’ll be happy. Puts us at 33-28. That would make us around 4th in the West with 21 games to play. If we can’t do that then tank.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Nuggets just dominated the Warriors in the second half.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Now let’s see if the Bucks can take care of the Clippers?
