The Official Bigfooty NBA Week 11-16 (including the trade deadline) Thread

NBA ALL STAR DISCUSSION HERE

Atlanta have this awkwardness in that Trae Young is now a bench piece but then dont have the courage to pull the trigger. With how Jalen Johnson plays he kind of needs a catch and shoot 3 point shooter somewhere which is Alexander-Walker. Without one the offense just stagnates and when they miss they just get destroyed on the way out

They are probably better off moving Young on for like a Jordan Poole then they are keeping this going

Pritchard is god awful. Might be good off the bench but complete ass as a starter.

 

[peternorth]

Barnes the first Raptor in history to get a 20+ point, 20+ rebound triple double. Has absolutely torched the Warriors, often rebounding 3+ times in the same play.

The rest of the team had 35 boards. 3.18 boards each.

If one guy is dominating the glass that much, let him do his thing. He won them the game.

 

[Mr Meow]

Kawhi has torched the Pistons tonight with 51 points in the first 3 periods.

LeBron is 41 years old. Honestly.

Imagine if he decided to play with Bronny in a lesser league... imagine if the NBL open their chequebook and offered them a huge deal to come down under.

I'm salivating thinking about that. What a coup that would be for the NBL. It would instantly elevate the NBL to a top five league worldwide and interest in the league will jump enormously.

Do you reckon LeBron would consider playing elsewhere after his NBA career?

Maybe in a Saudi league for $$$

great bounceback by the Lakers. Much needed win by the home team

Sorry no I dont tihnk so

The league has finally come back to the old men and the clips are off

 

[Borough Blood]

Inconsistent lately, certainly not awful. 29 and 33 in the last few at a good clip. Prone to a shocker the next game, though.

That 7 mill a year for a guy who can score 30+ is a absolute steal though. He is the least of Bostons worries.

The whole Kuminga thing is just weird to me. Not too sure where he goes or even what value he has. Only move I could see is a team like Chicago but even then thats a stretch

Nah he'll just sit back and bask in the glory of his sons careers

I think the bulls need a dort type forward before kuminga

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Murmurs of a trade offer for AD is Atlanta offering Rissacher, Porzingis, Kennard + a few picks for AD . Cuts 45 mill in salary next year for Dallas and gets them below the luxury tax . For Atlanta gives them a defensive presence at C + a great fit with Jalen Johnson

First round of fan votes for all star sections has come back quite hilarious.

On the West there is Lebron , Jimmy Butler and Kawai who’ve hardly been All Star level.

On the East there is Banchero

Knicks fans have gone crazy as the entire starting 5 is in the top 20

 

[Jack Richards]

Lol at Jaylen Brown being ranked 6th in current All-star voting in the East... the disrespect for a bloke in his best career season.

Shows how good the top of the crop in the East have been you could throw a blanket over Brunson, Cunningham, Brown and Maxey who all have been nothing short of amazing.

 

[fidstar]

Kawhi having made 98.2% of his free throws (107/109) is pretty insane.

Butler is 17th in voting in the West. Weird to pick him out. He's been pretty good as well, even if not an all-star. 20/6/5 on 52/42/86 splits.

Kawhi is 20th

 

[Sonny Hayes]

Ahead of him is

Giannis - top 4 player in the world
Maxey - Been as good if not better
Brunson - Been as good if not better
Cade - Been as good if not better
Mitchell - Been as good if not better

None of those are unfair to be ahead of him, he has been great but so have the rest.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Jimmy Butler chucking a tantrum to only join a much worse team in Golden State certainly was a choice to make...

They are bad wouldn't be shocked to see them finish in the bottom 3-4 sides in the West.

Time for Steph to move on and enjoy the last stretch of his career elsewhere and let them blow it up and start completely fresh.

I think they double down and go for one last push and try to find that 3rd star. I suspect they swing for the fences with AD and move Kuminga/Moody on

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

We really have reached the lowest ebb of NBA. Ive bounced from game to game and all of them are straight out garbage. Milwaukee basically walking around the court right now
