Exclusive OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA: FEBRUARY 2023

[PDXFonz]

Mario Hezojna dropped 30 in Real Madrids Eurobasket win today. Real Madrid is tied for first in Eurobasket with Olympiakos

 

[KingSpeed]

We had one once.

I met Calderon a month ago when I was working at FAO Schwarz. Forgot to ask him about that.

 

[KingSpeed]

They got to pass him the ball for him to get that All Star MVP trophy.

So who’s gonna get picked last, I wonder? DeRozen or JJJ?

 

[noknobs]

Even if Kyrie contributed nothing, if Simons was the price for changing Nurk into Claxton, I would do it.

I don't care if the trade were to solve world hunger, if it ends with him playing in Portland it's not worth it.

 

[KingSpeed]

Then you'd flip Kyrie... the guy has value and he wouldn't have any value here and that's why I said that I wouldn't mind being a third team in this thing.

Flip him? No. Keep Kyrie. You want to swing for the fences or not? Kyrie is a HOF All Star starter STAR in his prime. He would be Dames most talented teammate ever.

 

[KingSpeed]

No problem. Simons and Nurk and Payton for Kyrie and Claxton. They can throw in Watanabe slso since Kyrie is such a head case.

Do it. Do y’all want high level talent or not? I watched this guy play a couple nights ago and he was incredible. Leads the league in 4th qtr scoring. Can you imagine defenses having to guard Kyrie AND Dame at the end of games? Get it done, Joe.

You think Kyrie and Dame fit together?!? You've got to be fucking kidding me. I swear some of you in here will never learn... Dame is not effective with a ball dominant small guard next to him. So you flip Kyrie for a good piece or pieces that actually fit. Fit matters, having some size in your back court matters.

I'm having a hard time figuring out who would be that third team.
Maybe with Paul aging, Phoenix would tink they could somehow make it work with Kyrie?
Nurk, Simons and Saric go to Nets
Phoenix gets Kyrie and Little
We get Claxton, Crowder and Bridges.
Doubt Phoenix would do this but I would love it!

euroleague, not eurobasket

eurobasket is like world cup, just for european national teams

 

[KingSpeed]

So you flip Kyrie for a good piece or pieces that actually fit. Fit matters, having some size in your back court matters.

Dame and CJ got to WCF. Dame was extremely effective next to CJ. Dame scored 60+ 3 times in one season playing alongside CJ. Kyrie is way better than CJ. Like way way way better. High level talent is ALWAYS a good fit. It’s the B level players that need to “fit.”

Ugh if we’re trading for Kyrie then I fucking want Kyrie in the trade.

 

[KingSpeed]

I remember people, including me, saying Harden and CP3 wouldn’t fit. Well they went 65-17, Harden won MVP, and they would’ve prob won it all if CP3 didn’t get hurt with 3-2 lead in WCF. Key to contention is high level talent. Kyrie is high level talent.

Kyrie is a disgusting human being and I want nothing to do with him.

[KingSpeed]

Kyrie is a disgusting human being and I want nothing to do with him.

That’s why we’d actually have a chance of getting him! No one wants that asshole. But do you want to win or not? What happened to big swing for a star? Giannis ain’t coming. Siakam isn’t good enough. Kyrie is best talent available and the fact that he’s an asshole is why we could actually pull it off.

 

[KingSpeed]

If Gordon Hayward was healthy, he’d be up there too.

 

[noknobs]

That’s why we’d actually have a chance of getting him! No one wants that asshole. But do you want to win or not? What happened to big swing for a star? Giannis ain’t coming. Siakam isn’t good enough.

About the dumbest take on anything I've ever seen. Well done.

 

[Natebishop3]

Kyrie isn't just an asshole. I can live with assholes.

Kyrie is a certifiable nut job. Completely insane. Toxic to a locker room. I want nothing to do with him.

But teams do want him. You know the Lakers would and probably Phoenix and Miami

[e_blazer]

I think there will be less Bamba at the next game.

Nets have played well this season when healthy (they won 18 out of 20 at one point) and he has been a big reason why. He also won a title, hitting the biggest shot of the series. Give me that toxicity!!

 

[KingSpeed]

If Lakers get Kyrie… do the Nuggets want to handle LeBron/AD/Kyrie in potentially the first round? Would be a great series.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Garza is adjusting quite well to the NBA. His jumper in particular has opened up his game, even with his lack of foot speed.

Letting him go in favor of Ibou

 

[OneSport3]

Any team that trades for Kyrie Irving deserves all headaches they’ll inevitably get because Kyrie is by far the most selfish and unreliable player in the history of team sports. Good luck.

Will Badji ever see the court?

 

[PCmor7]

If the playoffs started today, neither the Pelicans nor the Lakers even would make the play-in and the Blazers would enter with the longest winning streak in the West.

 

[MickZagger]

Someone finally beat up a Rivers. That’s cool on my book.

 

[MickZagger]

I think there will be less Bamba at the next game.

I’m quite spectacle of that…

 

[Strenuus]

Will Badji ever see the court?

Badji did in some blowout. Less than a minute I think.
