OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA: MARCH 2023

Damn sore calf

 

Number 1 pick trade it for Jaylen and there is your fairy dust.

 

Well, maybe you could bench press Kevin but I seriously doubt he could bench press you...

 

Nice pic of SlyFairyDog's wife....

 

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.

 

Is Embiid scared to go up against Joker?

 

The Luka-Kyrie Disaster May Force the Dallas Mavericks to Tank

"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. "

 

Valid point. I think both make sense in the East.

 

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.

 

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.
