OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA THREAD -May 2021

That doesn’t sound like a great return for CJ at all...

Mostly because that package wouldn’t nearly be enough to get Wood. NY could outright offer that for Wood if they wanted to. The Rockets already traded Harden for abunch of nothing. I highly doubt they do that trade for Wood.


Neither Obi nor Knox will help us next year. If CJ to NY happens, we would at least need Robinson back who would immediately make our defense better in the second unit in place of Kanter.

 

Out of the 140 points, Harden contributed 68 points. KD has 42 and Kyrie has 39. Now that’s a super team.

 

Clips vs Mavs....this is a good example of the refs being a factor early. IMO they are letting the Clip be aggressive on D and then called two highly questionable calls on the Mavs.

 

Pretty obvious Luka probably shouldn’t be on the court. Or at least he shouldn’t be trying to shoot 3’s.

 

Carlisle had to use the Challenge in the first quarter.

 

I think the Bucks will. I trust their defense over the Nets.

 

I guess so. When three guys can contribute 149 out of 140 points they’re pretty tough to beat.

 

Dinwiddie is out for the playoffs. If they win title anyway, it would be incredible.

 

Then how’d they lose Game 3 to injured mediocre team?

 

Jrue on Kyrie, Khris on harden, Giannis on KD

 

Yeah I hear James Harden has a hang nail as well.
We all know Griffin can’t dunk anymore.

 

I tend to agree with Barkley.
If the Mavs lose this game and with Luka hurt they are in big trouble.

 

Dallas role players are hot or cold. Usually you want consistency with your role players lol

 

Oh another idiot fan. This time in Boston.....throwing a bottle at Kyrie.

 

Sorry but Dallas are done

 

It’s like Big Nurk. Can’t play great for 2 straight games

 

Only Brandon Roy can come back from a 20 + point lead in the 4th qtr

 

Dont they have one if the worst defensive teams?
I actually think a potent offense is the best D. If any of these teams struggle with their shot game over.

 

I actually have been thinking about the Knicks being willing to give up that exact package for CJ but I think the thing that makes sense for our team and the Raptors if they're serious about a youth rebuild... like they seem to be would be the haul from the Knicks going to the Raptors along with the cap relief and we get Siakam. If we then re-signed Norm got a new coach that would actually use DJJ and used the MLE on a backup PG.

Then we'd have Dame, Norm, RoCo, Siakam, Nurk, DJ, Nas, Ant, probably just Zach, MLE PG and probably a re-signed Kanter despite his weaknesses.

 

Not that it would have made a difference but how does someone like Doncic go 0-5 from the line in a critical playoff game?
(well under 50% for the series)
