gonna be weird and kind of a meme for the first couple years, but i think it could be cool. hoping the teams and players take it seriously and it's competitive.

i've been hoping they cut down the regular season to maybe 70 games, so i think that's be the best compromise rather than an 82 game season + mid-season shenanigans

I don’t think so bc I’ve heard what Porter did and Blake Griffin and Kristaps are news to me

Also, fuck porter.

Dame dolla and Giannis the best duo in the league. Suns got better too by adding more bench dudes to support their top-heavy roster. finally some spicy shit happening. Thunder in 4.

I found a pair of Dame Adidas to hoop in for $35 and this news drops the next day. Crazy.

Sixers in Milwaukee are their first game of the regular season.

Hard to argue against adding a guard who's nicknamed after end of game situations to a team whose biggest weakness has been clutch time execution. The bucks are the clear cut favorites in the East.

I Don't blame them. Such is life… all worth it if they win a few. Granted they seem to draft pretty well. Guess it’s officially Scoot’s team now…

Crazy. You get a slasher, guy who can create his own shot, and hit clutch 3s.

Jimmy butler is dry snitching on his IG, “y’all need to look into the bucks for tampering I’m just gonna put that out there”. The blazers didn’t want yer scraps, James lol

As always in sports media, depends on who you're listening to. I'd put my money on the team with the time-tested combination of a superstar big man paired with a superstar guard, not the team with two superstar wings. The Celtic's reaction to once again losing due to a lack of on-court execution was to get rid of their starting PG. I'm just not buying that a team with a PG rotation of Brogdon, White, and Pritchard will function well enough to make it to the top. Taytum and Brown have proven time and again that they alone just aren't able to distribute the ball and organize a game as well as bona fide lead ball handlers.

Now that would be interesting. Jrue putting the clamps on his replacement in Cream City would be top tier entertainment. He makes almost 37m. this season though, and while I'm by no means a cap expert, I'm pretty sure they would need to make pretty much exactly that much room for him. And looking at their salary sheet, that doesn't seem feasible without completely gutting their rotation.

It’s Philly and Boston in on him… Boston i think is in same situation. Especially after backing the brinks truck up for Jaylen Brown lol and as you mentioned depth that’s already stretched thin.
