NBA 2024-25 Season Thread
Lettuce NBA!
and lettuce lol @ James Harden
Bronnie exists as a laker for no other reason than:
1. Keeping pops happy
2. The inevitable garbage time alleyoop from father to son that’ll play on Nike commercials for the next 20 years (though I’ll admit conceptually that’s pretty cool)
3. End of list
He doesn’t move the needle on anything except in the wrong direction. Going 1/1000 against not just G league competition but G league competition like Kings 2 ain’t exactly a winning look
lakers had a terrible offseason too, no one wanted to take that midlevel
they're probably like 50% to make the playoffs or something
kings, pels got a little better....GS probably neutral/little worse
memph way better, clipps way worse
Love the fact that Gary Trent Jr is still unsigned.
I've been saying on Raptors forums for the last two years that we should trade him for nothing or let him leave.
Now everyone knows he sucks!
his dad was the shaq of the mac
but he's just the shaq of being wack
Podz is the summer league hero of the year
Was or was he not a "real" 55th pick?
1. He would've been drafted earlier without Rich Paul ordering teams not to take him. Ergo, not a "real" 55th pick but likely a late 30s pick.
2. He would generate much more money for a team that drafts him than a "real" 55th pick. Ergo, not your run of the mill 55th pick.
The reason he wouldn't have been drafted earlier is because some teams may have been willing to take a punt of a second round draft pick on the 10% chance LeBron would have gone there. Not because of talent, which is the way you made it sound (and that is why he got a 4 year contract).
I'm not even sure what Pods is doing at summer league.
Warriors undefeated at Summer League. Look out!

Thanks for insinuating into what I meant and being completely wrong. When you could’ve just asked me what I meant.
Happy posting.
Of course mate. All good.
There’s some rumblings Knicks might trade Randle for KAT.
I’d rather just keep Julius and run it back. I hate KAT —> dude’s softer than Charmin.
PSA:
Team USA noon ET vs Australia on FS1 today.
Embiid...jesus
Team USA kinda sucks.
How did Ben Simmons play?
Chilltown I have a funny feeling that Canada is gonna upset USA.
SGA already said he isn't intimidated by them.
USA solidly beat them in their recent exhibition match. I'd expect a similar result when/if they meet aka a 10 point USA win.
I don't believe in a gold but I'd be perfectly content with silver.
Canada has like Kelly Olynik playing starting C.
Jamal Murray ain't ****. Wiggins I don't care if he doesn't wanna play.
Assuming Shai plays like himself then we really need like RJ Berrett to go beast mode and for everyone to shoot 40> on 3s
Team USA has too much talent. You want scrappy dudes, not non-hungry HOFers
And yet he's still big mad:
"Due to revenue pooling, you are guaranteed to be neither a success nor a failure….Of course, to get there, the league must take down the successful franchises and redistribute to the less successful. This new media deal goes a long way to accomplishing that goal."
Those bastards tearing down such a proud winning franchise like the Knicks who haven't been to the ECF since...2000.
I think he means financially successful. Which the Knicks have always been.
