I can kind of see why the Blazers are doing this. Buy low and they must have given up on Scoot. Ja’s badness is also somewhat oversold.

Before this year Shamet was bouncing around and he legit was going to be out of the league until Malcolm Brogdon chose to retire.
It's reported he turned down higher AAV offers, dude probably just wanted all 4 years guaranteed AND living in NY he will make up some of the difference in money via endorsements. He's a beloved champ over there now.

can we have an honest discussion on the quality of the league? Yes there are some standouts like wemby and edwards but it feels like there is a severe decline on the quality and quantity on stars in the nba. role players in this era are obviously better but does it make for better basketball viewership with a higher floor and a lower ceilling?

for all we know the nba can be trending toward teams being the 'face' of the franchises rather than individual players at this rate.

I don't think role players are better, actually. I think it's more that with the wide open pace and space system that every team runs now, shooters get more opportunity since there are more shots to go around, so stats are inflated across the board, including for role players. Every team is playing like the 06 Suns and 16-20 Warriors so there are more opportunities than ever.

They know they can't get through the Knicks or Pistons, so they're trying like hell to pivot. Sixers would love to but the the PG/Embid contracts are radioactive.

Jaylen Brown was a relatively standard volume scorer during the sixers series. He doesn't do anything exceptional, but hes a very nice player on par with Jamal Murray. He takes up a lot of oxygen, cause the other aspects of his game are not outliers. He's a fine one dimensional player who the Celtics are trying to shop around as a top 30 guy whos an alpha male dawg.

If no one wants Brown because of his contract + looming extension, no one wants Tatum because of his double bum knees

The Celshits are fucked, their asking price is too high and they're going to keep him until the deadline

>>155958105
If Kessler joins it seems inevitable that at some point due to injuries they might be able to run a fully white starting lineup. Is JJ brave enough?

Let me remind you a few things about Kuminga:
Injury prone
Un-coachable. Thinks he’s a starter but he’s just an athletic role player.
Can’t shoot.

Dude must have ran out of money faster than he expected. It was abundantly clear even in his college days that this guy doesn't even LIKE playing basketball.

You now remember Ben Simmons turned down a $3.2m contract offer during training camp this season.

You now remember Ben Simmons turned it down because he thought he was worth more money.

You now remember Ben Simmons' agent left him over that decision.

You now remember Ben Simmons didn't get any offers after that.

You now remember the team he could have joined for the 2025-26 season was:

Of course they got him for nothing, are you not familiar with a negative value contract? The blazers should have gotten at least 1 frp for taking on that albatross. Dude never plays, is no longer good when he does play, and is a cancer off the court/in the locker room. Blazers would be better off just saving the money and having a hole in the roster. And he’s not getting any younger or healthier, next year it will be worse etc. I feel similar about the warriors trying to get Davis, what the fuck for? So he can help you win 5 more regular season games at best? And sit in street clothes in the playoffs if you manage to make them? We are so far past “Davis, if healthy” lol, he won’t be, the end. The only way I’d want Davis in my team is for a minimum, and just sit him the entire season in the hopes he can play 1-2 playoff series.

Davis blows the whole thing up. It’s very possible curry and LeBron make it through a season healthy, I suspect they won’t but it could happen. Then you could just hope pingus can time his healthy periods with when you need him. I’d give that seem a very low, but very real chance at a deep run. Insert Davis in the mix and now you just have a hospital team. There’s no way they could even make it through a single round of the yoffs because half their salary cap is gonna be injured at any given time. Goes from outside chance to hoping to win the lottery, literally one in a million.

>>
>>155962982
Yeah, looks like 2 years. If it works out we might be pretty good but I'm not expecting much.

On paper this could be decent if it clicks though:
Clingan is a beast, Camara is great on defense, Ja/Dame/Sharpe is a high talent level backcourt (and if we keep Jrue, they'll likely trade him) but Sharpe/Ja are inconsistent, Dame's old. Scoot's still young so maybe he can break out
I could see us def being a solid playoff team

The owner is a fag, no one likes him here. He was cutting costs on shit like free shirts for the fans during the playoffs, kicking players out of the hotel a day early to save money, not paying for buses for the two way players, telling the city he won't pay for an arena himself. He seems like a dick. I really hope he's not another Clay Bennett snake in the grass. The hockey fans talk him up but NHL is a whole different league and we all know it lol

Yes I agree that she looks that way. After the surgeries, fake teeth, makeup and hair etc. that’s my point, when you look how she started/ how she looks without all that it’s a crazy improvement. Especially with how many women make themselves look worse by bogging or bad makeup. Double when you compare her to most of the other wnba players. Actually that’s probably another reason she seems attractive, look at who she’s standing next to.

it's ashamed though Jamal came out from his best regular season record but immediately stank up in the playoff, he's the one carrying Nuggets in the regular when Jokic, Cam, Braun, Gordon and Pwat were out for a considerable amount of times so Nuggets didn't drop down to play-in place.

Jokic's injury was a freak one so that doesn't count
Pwat was unfortunate but i do hope it was just one-off
idk what the fuck happens with Braun he just doesn't do anything anymore, some said this is who he's always been but he was good last season because he needed that extension and now he got it so he coasted but the injuries fucked him even more.
i think they need to address the medical dept

even when he was "good" he showed signs of something being off. He increasingly avoided contact and FTs especially when the stakes got higher, which was very weird since most of his game was attacking the basket. It stems from not being able to shoot and embarrassment I guess. This series and moment in particular was pretty much the cliff of his career. Injuries aside, he never even attempted to attack the rim and paint like he used to

>>155974622
He held his team hostage and refused to play, he is a poison to any GM.
Also, calling him stubborn and lazy would be kind. He has shown an aggressive determination to not work on any of his game. You cannot play in the NBA, let alone handle the ball and be completely incapable of shooting. You can just not guard him as long as he is over 5 feet from the basket and he can't/won't shoot the ball. he is unplayable. If the worst jump shooting stats in 2K are 45/100, Ben Simmons is a 1/100.

He honestly could have been the next Lebron. Lebron was not a great shooter when he came into the league, and improved drastically through the years. Ben had all the tools and the size, but has negative dawg and whined himself out of the league

I don't think the Knicks win a title with Simmons over Shamet, so it worked out.

Shamet didnt do shit against the spurs and Simmons probably wouldve been the better dudes in that matchup desu

Has anyone ever seen a credible explanation for why the Celtics are consistently better with Jaylen Brown off the floor?

The most popular one was - the Cs stagger Brown and Tatum and Tatum is better than Brown so they'll be better in Tatum/no Brown minutes than in Brown/no Tatum minutes. But the same thing kept happening when Tatum missed 90% of the season

His on/off has been negative in 7 out of 10 regular seasons and 7 out of 9 playoffs (including a -7.5 in 2023/24 when he won ECF and Finals MVPs) and he's the only All-NBA level player that this happens to. I'm starting to think nerds are right and there's something about his game that produces stats but is not conductive to making the team better

What exactly would Draymond do if Lebron goes to the Warriors? Lebron arguably fits the passing role better. With Lebron as the primary ball handler, Draymond really doesnt do much on the offensive side.

LeBron joining the Warriors he punked and got punked by would be a bitch ass move right

Lebron can't be a full time primary ball handler anymore. That's why he was the 3rd option for LA.
