I think okc would have a better chance to get him then GSW but if it were up to him he’d probably chose the warriors over the thunder, I’ve heard the heat or nets would be on his wish list.

If he chose the Nets he's lying about wanting success. I'd doubt he chooses them

OKC have the best haul to offer but this Chet injury might change their plans?

 

[burge13]

Won't argue that however Portis is so cooked the Bucks might be better off if he didn't play

He's putting up ok box score numbers from memory, but haven't actually watched him this season

God I hate my team.

Every year they find a new way to rip my heart out.

I feel you... <sending hugs>

 

[DangerSloane]

You guys reckon OKC would trade Chet for Giannis?

I'm not 100% sure they would.

100% they would.

They still have a horde of draft picks over the next few years to get rid of as they wouldn’t financially be able to fit every pick plus the young stars grabbing max deals, they’ve already accumulated the talent for it. Besides swapping Giannis for Chet a proven champion and has missed less time than Chet and still is in his prime and will be at least for the next 3-4 years.

Anyone want Jabari Smith Jnr? How the dud is starting over Tari Eason I do not know.

 

[DT_35]

7 firsts plus young players type of deal

For OKC for example you'd think it'd be Hartenstein, Joe/Wallace or someone, and a haul of picks
GSW maybe Kuminga, Moody, Jackson Davis (Wiggins for salary) and the picks

With a supposed strong draft next year I do think he'll be traded before the deadline

Hartenstein lol. Bucks don’t trade him to OKC without either Chet or Williams being part of a package

 

[burge13]

Hartenstein lol. Bucks don’t trade him to OKC without either Chet or Williams being part of a package

They'd be doing it for the picks mostly. I'm sure OKC want to keep their young core ideally

 

[Memphis]

The list is getting out of hand.

I dont want it to end, if he leaves early he'll con another team into giving him a job. The fraud needs to continue losing for a few months yet

Likewise Dame, puts up some nice stats but simply is not a winner. Gets gassed up constantly by media an fans, his Portland days were "get Dame some help" while he had CJ and Nurk with him now he teams with a top 3 player with good supporting cast and can't win. Very overrated

Expecting some blow back for this stance but there really shouldn't be any haha

Dame was fine. He's just getting old now.

 

[hotchilli]

Dame was fine. He's just getting old now.

He was always a bit of a defensive liability.

 

[Gak Attack]

A lot of those are injured more often than not so probably not shocking.

 

[peternorth]

It’s not longe ta surprise to see AD injured

 

[Demonic Ascent]

The list is getting out of hand.

How can you be out indefinitely with a hamstring strain??

 

[peternorth]

Could stormin Norman Powell be an all star this year? Last ten games he’s scored [emoji[emoji6][emoji6]] points or more.

As James harden requires I believe ten more threes to surpass Ray Allen on the all time list.

How much has the game changed? There is currently 11 players taking more 3s per game than Steph Curry.

Only 2 of them are shooting better than 40% with the lowest being 28%.

Imagine a coach from 15 years ago being okay with a guy taking 11 3s per game while shooting 28%.

 

[peternorth]

NBA Cup sponsored by Emirates starts today!!!

Lakers defending champions.

 

[Memphis]

Knicks gonna Knicks.

 

[peternorth]

nahnah

Things are brewing.....

Jose Alvarado out for weeks now.

You should probably lace em up

 

[hamG]

2017 draft Donovan Mitchell taken at pick 13 by Denver, there are some properly ordinary players take before him. Then Jazz trade pick 24 (Tyler Lowden huh?) plus Trey Lyles for this draft rights. Morman communities usually don't have to deal with theft but that is a genuine steal.

I really dont like IST courts
