Can't believe the regular season starts tonight. Just seemed like the Finals ended a couple weeks ago.

Philly vs Celtics: 6:30PM CST TNT

GSW vs Lakers: 9:00PM CST TNT

I'm guessing somebody didn't actually watch game 3 of this series. The Heat gave them a bit of adversity and they literally quit on court halfway through the game.

Sources: The NBA’s Competition Committee is discussing potential of in-game penalty for flops that would result in technical foul free throw. Trial is possible at Summer League in July.

Jokic is in massive trouble now.

Let's do it. I know KCC would be ecstatic and Steph and Lebron would each get their 5th title. Everybody is happy well except their opponents.

"The Warriors starting lineup would be Steph, Klay, LeBron, Draymond & Looney, with Wiggins and GP2 off the bench. That team wins the title."

That would RUIN BASKETBALL!!!

KC_Connection · 05-25-2023, 10:17 AM

I would prefer LeBron and Curry joined up elsewhere away from that disgraceful organization, but that would be acceptable.

I would need more information on how this would work. Guys are getting really good at selling things and it is hard for officials to tell.

I dont think the math works out for that trade with the new cba. Warriors would only be able to take back 110% of outgoing salary, LeBron is over that on those 3. So while it's pointless to talk about anyway, it's also not feasible.

Hardly a surprise. He fought through a serious injury to help his team the past few months and still managed to average a 30 point triple double.

GOAT stuff.

Why would any team voluntarily throw themselves in FRONT of the Jordan Poole's Contract bullet?

And I'm not completely convinced Moses Moody even belongs in the NBA.

Kuminga is about the only piece in that deal that has any value at all. That's not the sort of deal the Lakers would EVER make. They star-chase to keep the attention of the LA sports scene. They ain't trading a marquee player for a contractual liability, a scratch-off ticket and a never was.

Another nail in the coffin.

Goodbye, LeBron. You are now irrelevant.
