OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA: OCTOBER 2023

[andalusian]

You really don't think at worst, OKC couldn't trade those 20 2024-2030 draft picks for 20 2031-2036 draft picks?

Or draft and stash some Euro guys and claim a visit there as a business expense?

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Heat have to be getting desperate with Lowry out for season

??? What exactly are you talking about here?

 

[THE HCP]

Where have all the big men gone?

 

[handiman]

They have Sabonis listed as 7'1"?? I thought he was 6'10" when he came into the league... ESPN bio shows him as 7'0", which still sounds like a literal stretch.

Cutting off before 7'0" Emiid and 6'11" Jokic certainly biases the list toward no bigs.

 

[KingSpeed]

So how is the Ben Simmons/James Harden trade aging? Should Morey have traded for CJ instead?

Yes he should have.

They must've confused Jr with Sr... Easy mistake.

 

[Strenuus]

Rockets are trading Kevin Porter Jr. and two 2nd's to OKC for Oladipo. OKC is expected to waive Porter and eat his salary

in case you're keeping track, this gives OKC a total of 20 second round picks between 2024 and 2030. This is added to the 15 first round picks they have between 2024 & 2030

wtf?

35 picks in 6 years. 5.9 picks a year. Lmao.

My bad i swear I read that today

They shorted Arvydas several inches, if so.

[PtldPlatypus]

I'd expect this from BGD.

 

[KingSpeed]

Smart.

 

[inconceivable]

I prefer this

 

[Haakzilla]

...right, because Kuzma has the best fashion sense in the NBA!?

What ever do you mean?

 

[andalusian]

What ever do you mean?

That's wingspan baby...

 

[Haakzilla]

What ever do you mean?

...oh and that's not even the "best" one!!

 

[Whyachi]

I heard Trendon Watford looks terrific in Nets preseason. Averaging 13 & 5 in 16m, high efficiency. Great kid, I hope he makes the Nets roster.

I'd rather have Watford than Murray.

 

[SheedSoNasty]

I'd rather have Watford than Murray.

Giving up on him was a total head scratcher.

 

[PCmor7]

 

[Shaboid]

Is that not what he looked like when he played for the trailblazers?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Watching the Spurs: Zach Collins has become the player we wanted him to be. Nobody watching them nowadays would say that John Collins was better than Zach. Zach is a genuine two-way player, solid offense and good-to-great defense.

 

[Samuel]

I'd rather have Watford than Murray.

I don’t have a huge fondness for either, except to say that we should probably all get comfortable with the team bringing young guys in and moving them along within a year or two. the moment the team gets hung up on any one player who doesn’t have a long term future with the team will slow down the wheels of the rebuild, IMO. and yea, that might mean that said player is ‘nice’ or ‘fairly good’ or ‘total vibes’.

 

[inconceivable]

Is that not what he looked like when he played for the trailblazers?

no, he was sexy then

 

[blazerkor]

Is that not what he looked like when he played for the trailblazers?

Same amount of hustle but I think he may have put on a few more pounds since he played here... maybe.

 

[Chris Craig]

I can't breathe in this thing!
