@DOC323123 PHX fans happy w/ their team? They just traded all their first round picks through 2033 & traded two key role players for a domestic abuser…team is bleak to me, last szn was cute cuz they lost KD but that’s over now
@GregFinberg Don’t ignore the point that Davis never said he wanted to be here, Wiz had to know risk…this is why u don’t trade for veteran stars w/o knowing if they actually want to be part of ur org…this is why teams wouldn’t pull off KD trades or a Giannis trade w/o knowing they’d extend
@DOC323123 ppl gotta think abt wat a player like Claxton would look like surrounded by LA’s plethora of playmaking/creatability than what he looked like playing w/ Nolan Traore when doing these polls
@DOC323123 Reaves getting his full max really makes me want to move on from LeBron…LA just won’t have anywhere near the cap flexibility for the next few szns that they had this offseason & it’s pivotal to use it on long term players that’ll be here for the next 3-4 years, not just 1 or 1+1
@Lirado31@BlackMajikMan90 Ian did not care abt Nikki, he was mad their hookup arrangements were torched by Bear…he also thought she got w/ Bear just to make him jealous + the entire opening scene is him giving Bear all the wrong advice + he cockblocks Bear at the bar…he’s the Palpatine to Bear’s Anakin
@sentrapilot I also don’t think that he truly understands that the wish worked w/o Nikki being in control until he has that scene w/ her in the living room where he says “None of this is real”…I think the dinner scene makes him even more skeptical but I don’t believe that’s the point
@deadwookie@BensHoops All u have to find is one outside team to pay u & I think Kessler believes he can find it…CHI will have over $50M in cap space w/ 11-12 players under contracts & no centers…u also have to spend 90% of that space, so what’s stopping CHI from offering Kessler a monster contract?
@ryan_nicolass@Coopz___@DOC323123 Think there’s a decent chance…it’s not like Bron setting for the next 5 years, if he plays, it’s a f**k it szn & he could do anything…even if it’s just fulfilling a what if like playing next to Steph…GS also not getting Giannis but have real ways to improve
@DOC323123 Not only has no one ever played in a Year 24 before, but we’ve also never seen a player of this caliber in a “F**k it” szn before…by the time a HoF reaches the “f**k it” stage, their end of the bench vets…Bron could do literally anything if he gets past the family element
@DOC323123 All of LA’s key players being FAs outside of Luka is not a good thing lol that’s actually bad for roster building, w/ no key guys on high value deals & especially since that’s the case and yet we still only projected to have $48M in cap space…and half of that might go to LeBron
@DOC323123 MIL at that stage in the negotiations where they just going to each of Giannis’ preferred trade destinations and asking for the most each of those teams can give them…cuz realistically, this the most MIN can give…also Giannis a 1 yr deal so he has sum sway
@DOC323123 Regardless of whether u keep AR w/ Luka, LA isn’t winning a chip w/o an All-League defender…the only team that I can think of that won a chip w/o having a guy like that was DEN in ‘23 and they faced a 8th Seed…every champion needs an elite, top of the line defensive anchor
@AnthonyIrwinLA@WorldWideWob Nothing technical abt it, there was literally no travel and no home or road teams…fan face cams dont count lol it doesn’t discount LA’s bubble ring tho
@redrock_bball Idk man maybe it’s the guy who won ECF MVP last szn and led IND in Finals scoring while also having 4 All-Stars, 2 All-NBAs, and a Most Improved Player award…but idk, Anunoby’s a great defender
