That doesn't have anything to do with what I was posting about. Your post I was responding to asked who would get the better of tonight's match up between Jokic and Embiid... I was just informing you that Embiid is out for load management. Dame isn't, we're tanking.
 
Place your bets now ladies and gentlemen.

How long until we see an expansion of teams in the league, and what will it look like?

I think Vegas makes sense, and Seattle makes sense. Moving OKC and Memphis into the Eastern conference to balance the expansion makes a lot of sense too.

Should they do this?

How much of it is financial backing and how much if it is the league? If it’s financial backing, do you support LBJ in saying he wants to own a team in Vegas when he retires?

I approve, especially if we are going to have 6 teams guaranteed to make the playoffs and 4 teams competing to.

How do you handle the talent dispersal? I knew some leagues have had a league wide draft. Teams are able to set so many players as unavailable and everyone else goes into a draft pool.

I would think it will happen within the next 3-5 years? Sure, Vegas and Seattle makes since and the conference realignment.
If LeBron wants to be partners in a franchise, Im sure it will happen.
I see Dame Lillard being part owner of the Blazers at some point in time too.

New Orleans in the Eastern Conference with Memphis upriver makes more sense to me than Oklahoma City.

For two expansion teams in the West (Seattle and Vegas) you only need to move one west team east. I think we will see this in about three-four years. Memphis or New Orleans would be moved east. New Orleans is further east, but travel and region wise, Memphis probably makes the most sense to move east.
 
The Luka-Kyrie Disaster May Force the Dallas Mavericks to Tank


https://www.theringer.com/platform/...998/luka-doncic-kyrie-irving-dallas-mavericks

"At last month’s trade deadline, the Nets reportedly said no thanks to four first-round picks for Mikal Bridges, and the Raptors refused three for OG Anunoby. The landscape of NBA trades has shifted dramatically in recent years. Two firsts don’t get you as much as they used to.
Missing the playoffs and keeping their 2023 first, no matter where it lands, is probably the best path forward for the Mavericks. "

I think Minnesota makes the most sense. Even if they're not further east, at least Memphis and N.O. are nearby other west teams. Minnesota is nowhere close.

Absolutely not. I really like Brown, but not for Wemby. If we got a Top-4 pick that wasn't #1, I'd trade that for Brown, and then use Ant to try and get some size.

It was just a way. Not a good way but a way nonetheless.
 
I don't get why people think that the team that has the 2nd best record in the league, just went to the finals, is going to trade their 2nd best player.

Who is 26 and plays really well with their best player who is 25. I think sometimes people have to think about why they want someone so badly and then think about if they'd be willing to give that player up.

Yep. It's similar to the people who think just because they can create a trade with the espn trade checker, that the trade was actually suggested and would just as easily work.

The classic "they spend so much time trying to make it happen and never thought about why it needs to happen"

I think it's more of a case of "they spend to much time trying to make it happen, and never thought about how there's no reason why it would actually happen".

Though maybe you meant it that way, and I'm just not reading it that way.

I'm tired AF so it's quite possible.

It's because of things Brown has said.

Who could have seen this one coming? It's about as surprising as Oliver Miller having problems with his weight post career or if Zion does. If a player can't be bothered to be in shape while they're playing why in the fuck wouldn't they be expected to put on serious weight once they're not making any money from a career in athletics?
