The Bigfooty NBA Week 17 Thread - "Insane" trade sees Aussie NBA Star Kyrie Irving headed to the Mavericks

[kozi]

The Davis stuff was real strange then the I love you stuff on the bench with Davis not really giving him much just adds to it all.

 

[Memphis]

They did win the championship 3 years ago

I meant as it being about the individuals.

If the current rate of high scoring continues/increases in the NBA, its possible someone will beat it in the future, but not for a very very long time

It's probably more attainable than Plugger's all time goal scoring record in footy, that is something I am certain will never be broken (least in our lifetimes)

Cam Thomas in 2025

Despite the increase in scoring no one is on track or even close

Luka is as generational of a talent as you can get, dominated from day 1, ultra high usage rate, no significant injuries so far and even he isn’t on track.

I’ve seen some stat nerds break it down far better than I ever can but I’m convinced none of us will ever see this record broken

Instead of trading Westbrook, Lakers should put AD on the market and see what they could get for him.

He was beyond garbage tonight

Looked completely disinterested

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

When Kareem got up after he was passed in points I just imagined the old man who leaves the retirement village and gets lost on the corner.

Amazing achievement the bloke is just a freak he looks better now then he did 2 years ago.

Seriously Westbrook is a disgrace.

Westbrook is annoying and I am not a fan, but he was the only Laker (including Lebron) who actually tried his guts out and tried to get The Lakers and Lebron the win

Darvin Ham deserves more shade on this board tbh, when Stan 'Ron Jeremy' Van Gundy is critical of your coaching and lack of time out choices late when the game was there to be won, you know you have problems.

In all honesty, seemed to me that Westbrook was the only senior Laker out there (I'll cut their kids some slack) tonight who wanted to honour and respect Lebron ...

Never thought I'd see the day when the NBA made the AFL commission look like media-shy professionals.

Also never thought I'd see the day when I'd feel eternally grateful to the OKC Thunder, but here we are.

Apparently some scoring record was also broken which always seemed unlikely, but it's still the most believable thing that happened today.

 

[NSWCROW]

wtf are you talking about? MJ could jump over a house and was as quick as they come.

Ok bro

He just turns it over way to much, I can't wait to see what the next contract he gets offered.

I'm a huge LBJ fan boy that was awful today, I'm not sure who came up with that shit.

Only in the USA.

Lebron in the fourth quarter…..

 

[peternorth]

Dwayne dedmon to be traded to the spurs for second round pick and cash considerations

 

[fidstar]

Pretty sad really.

Isiah Thomas will not have a role in the Phoenix Suns front office, a spokesperson for Mat Ishbia said on Tuesday.

The news refutes a tweet from Chris Haynes of Bleacher Report earlier in the day.

Ishbia, who assumed control of the Suns on Tuesday, is looking to make a "major and immediate impact" on the team.

 

[Jack Richards]

Reports from Stephen a is that we’re going after durant again.

Would be stupid to break up the Jays... if anything, should go for Poetl.

 

[Jack Richards]

The trades they wanted were laughable so no surprise. They aint getting Van Vleet or Siakam for Dinwiddie/Finney Smith at all.

Gut is telling me Kevin Durant/Jaylen Brown swap about to happen. Brown OUT today and rumor mill in overdrive about it. Also looking like Tatum playing at SG today with Boston choosing to start Hauser and not another guard despite having plenty of options . Think its a smart move for Boston. Brown is just not a Kevin Durant when its said and done

He aint, but Durant is 31 and injury prone at the moment. Give me a younger Jay Brown over an old Durant any day.

 

[Jack Richards]

Could the nets flip ben Simmons if kd leaves for an aunonby/siakim type player. Can't see how they can continue with Simmons and Claxton. Simmons can only play with a 3pt shooting center (Brooke lopez) imo. Nets could flip any additional picks from Boston to Toronto for either guys. Brown also has 2 more years left so who knows what he does near his contract ending.

Ben Simmons has no trade value

Tbh I don't get all the fuss over Vanderbilt.

Not sure his defensive ability is all that, certainly not to the extent that makes up having a non-shooter at the 'four'.

 

[peternorth]

Pretty sad really.

I hope that the creator of that tweet understands there were no prevalence of phones with cameras back in 1998.

 

[peternorth]

upgrade on westy in shooting.

I think its because he is named after a college.

Either that or his Mum makes easily counterfeited jeans.

Ben Simmons has no trade value

Best outcome for the Nets is to get more minutes into Simmons for the second half of the season to at least build some interest for a summer trade with a franchise that wishes to tank next year.

 

[peternorth]

There is no CAMANIA today unfortunately.
