NO TROLLS 2022 NBA Offseason Thread

I guess they didn't want to do anything in case he did a Michael Richards.

or Patrick McDermott

Is it actually true Irving wanted the whole no more than 60 games in a season for him in his next contract ?

Celtics are better with KD for any player including Tatum who obviously has a lot longer left in the league.

But the Nets want gut the roster in a trade. KD + Tatum + bugger all else isn't winning a title.

The Denver Nuggets are reportedly set to host the Phoenix Suns in a Christmas Day matchup. The Nuggets did not play on Christmas last season, despite the presence of reigning MVP Nikola Jokic on the roster.

I hope we get some free throws from Santa peternorth

Seems optimistic from Shams.


I wonder if he thinks Dan Hannebery will suit up as well

Reading between the lines Sham is suggesting that westbrook will not be part of the lakers at Xmas

Day 501: still no sexton update

Day 501: still no sexton update

Day 501 of Rich Paul asking for way too much money, with no leverage.

Jalen Harris (59th pick in the 2020 NBA Draft) has been reinstated by the NBA after a violation of the NBA drug use policy. Would be a solid pick up for any team in need of guard depth. Dropped 7.4ppg on .500/.472/.773 in 13 minutes per game. Looks to be headed back to the CEBL but could easily be an elite role player in any organisation.

That hype train is long gone.

The end is near.

To be fair he is looking to own a basketball team in the near future, man gonna need his money.

Thats fine but dont pretend like you're here to win anymore. You've just shown money (despite having enough for 100000 lifetimes of maximum spending) is more important.

Its still a salary cap sport. Taking the max unnecessarily does hinder winning. Imagine he took 10m a year and won more...

Just baffles me their attitudes. Id prefer 6 rings than money i cant spend

 

[burge13]

His team will be hilariously bad too. Look how poor his recruiting is. He'll need a good GM

 

[hamG]

He's still a max player, even if the max is enough to buy the NBL.

Not here to win anymore? Is this like when people said that after his first year in LA? You know just before he went on to win a chip.

Why doesn't literally every max player take less? It almost never happens so why critique Lebron for it? Did Beal need a super max? Did KD need to sign that max extension last off season?

No one NEEDS 180 million dollar contracts but when it is offered i can not blame anyone for taking it.

Not to mention i guarantee if he took a pay cut to add more talent people would come at him for stacking the deck or some BS.

Harden took less and the league is now investigating the 76ers.

This contract extension is not even close to LeBron's biggest attack on winning.

LeBron could take $10m a year and still choose Westbrook

Duncan took less. CP3 and Harden are taking less.

I don't think it's totally unfair to raise an eyebrow at that salary.

 

[fidstar]

lol at picking on LeBron taking the max. He's worth more than that to the Lakers. Why take less than you are worth?

Guess Curry taking the max a couple of years back was anti-winning.
Guess Giannis taking the max a couple of years back was anti-winning.
