NBA 2024-25 Season Thread
Lettuce NBA!
and lettuce lol @ James Harden
yeah, during the last fifa world cup final someone tweeted out something to the effect of the stories of why the france team is so black and the argentina team is so white are extremely depressing, and i think about it a lot
seemed like argentina and spain were gonna be the 2 countries to compete with the US for awhile and they did
then like 6 guys got old and they both faded fast
I can't wait until Summer League
Man, what was in the French water 18-19 years ago? the #1 and #7 picks last year, then the #1 #2 #6 and #25 picks year
2028 Olympics are gonna be a bloodbath
perhaps better question is what isnt in the US water right now?
best american players to come into the league last 10 years are probably tatum and ant? 3rd is like....d book?
A lot of the the best American athletes play football.

Players are pretty spread out.
Giannis Greece. Luka Slovenia. Jokic Serbia. Wemby France.
Who the **** plays for Spain now? I saw them play Rudy Fernandez at the fiba cup. Definitely washed.
Canada has a shot. A narrow path! If SGA decides he's Michael Jordan then that's their shot. They have the non USA best talent of nba players.
probably not, 1yr left on deal
but if you want my prediction i think he gets moved and they re-sign OG and hartenstein and thats their team
when I said this i didnt know knicks didnt have full bird rights on hartenstein, they have early bird rights
means most they can offer him is 4/73
seems like probably 5050 he stays, depending on if OKC or Orl can blow that offer away. If it was like a 10m difference over 4 years I think he could take it to stay given his role on NYK be more guaranteed and he seems to like it there. Chance to win with the Knicks gotta be worth something as well. If these guys get over the hump in this run, that has gotta be worth a ton over the course of the rest of their lives.
Hartenstein talked about how he wanted to stay with the Clippers (for less money!) because he really liked the situation, winning, etc. while he was on Brunson’s and Hart’s The Roommates Podcast earlier this year. The Clips didn’t offer him any deal whatsoever so that’s how he wound up on the Knicks.
Him staying w NYK for less than the Magic offer, etc. is a distinct possibility.
Magic should draft Bronny and then trade him for Reaves
Is it just me or could’ve the Hawks drafted Alex Sarr since the Wizards wanted him and then traded him for #2 pick and a small asset?
Supposedly Rich Paul is saying dont draft Bronny to teams or he’ll go play in Australia.
given that everyone in this draft sucks, i'd definitely blow a 2nd to ship bronny down under
Throw another shrimp on the barb-E while ur at it too.
Bob Myers is corny and may be even worse then SAS.
Boston has a chance to do the funniest thing ever here
Lebron’s greatest achievement as an athlete was definitely strongarming a team into drafting his useless son
Love them trying to push this narrative that he was dropping to 4th to last cuz rich Paul told them not to draft him or he’d play in Australia and not because he’s just a shitty basketball player
So Klutch wasted a lot of time and effort blowing smoke when they could have just done nothing beyond telling Pelinka to draft Bronny
Edit: I guess it was to make it seem like other teams wanted him and make LeBeta feel better.
man what a clown soap opera lebron turned into
So who gets the first alley hoop dunk? Bron or Bronny?
Can Bronny dunk?
i'd say he won't make the team but i didn't think this **** would happen either so who knows?
lakers have found guys with roster spots as well....caruso, reaves, zubac to name a few
