2023/2024 NBA THREAD: WHO WANTS TO GO ON PARADE?!?

[Adolf Allerbush]

You crazy

Boston? They'd need to unload salary to get Jrue, hence Brogdon. Two 1sts is me having wishful thinking...Pritch would be funny.

[riser4]

Why on earth would Boston want that guy???

[cat in january]

This. Jrue has been a liability in the playoffs. He’s a great defender but offensive liability when the playoffs come around.

Hopefully Dame can stop pouting that he didn’t end up in Miami because if he wants to win a chip this is a much better opportunity. Bucks are gonna be tough.


.

Bucks would not have won the nba championship without Jrue’s defense imho.

Dame is great, but short guards in their mid thirties (Steph aside) don’t generally age well.

[Danno]

That "Steph aside" part is pretty key, Dame is not your average short guard either.

[cinnepa]

Jimmy says bucks tampering....asking nba to investigate. Sour grapes.

Dame is coming off the best scoring season of his career with 32 ppg. Jrue and Dame are both 33, Jrue has been in the league longer and was openly talking about retiring after this season.

Maybe the Bucks beat the Heat last year, and go back-to-back, had Jrue not gone 1 for 2 at the free throw line with 2 seconds remaining in game 5? maybe that's a little harsh to put a 4-1 playoff series lost on one free throw miss. Either way, Dame's defense will likely look better with Brook Lopez anchoring the frontcourt and Giannis covering 3/4s of the court being the greek freak that he is.

Dame has gotten better and better.

I'm confused, back to back what? Also, I mean, they lost in the first round... lol... that's quite a jump to then just beat the rest of the East.

I'm just glad the Nuggets are back to being slept on.

Not to make excuses for the Bucks, but Giannis was out for some of the games and was playing through injury. Additionally, Middleton was out. I think the idea is a full strength Bucks squad last year is not losing that series. I don't know if it will work but the scoring power of Giannis, Dame, and Middleton is going to be lethal. Also, Lopez might have a career year from the 3pt line. To put another way...if they're healthy going into the 1st round this season I would think they'll easily dispatch with whoever they're playing. If they're down to an injured Giannis and a hobbled Dame then yeah, they fucked.

[concretejungle]

Giannis has missed quite a few regular season and playoff games the last four years so who knows how healthy he'll be going forward.

Wow!

That didn’t take long - Jrue to the Celtics for Brogdon, Williams and two 1’s. Kinda steep but interesting…

Go Kings!

I have nothing bad to say about the Blazers GM. Timelord and Brogdon get flipped and you get more picks. Damn.

[The Reverend Floater]

So the Blazers ultimately traded Dame for:

- Ayton
- Williams
- Brogdon
- Camara
- 3 FRPs (2 unprotected, 1 top 4)
- 2 Pick Swaps

That ain't bad.

Fucking hell. WTF?!?! I might just as well become a Heat fan. Not really. Fuck stupid shit. Stevens has gone off his meds.

Stevens thinking is that the Celtics might now have the best starting 5, top 6, in the NBA.

But that's it, which bothers me.

Or anything philly could of offered

[cat in january]

Celtics sure gave up a lot. I wonder if Robert Williams medical concerns are significant. He has only had one semi healthy season in the NBA.

Going to be interesting seeing Jrue guarding Dame.

Going to be interesting to see how the Celtics manage financially the next four years

[cinnepa]

^^center is the weak position now for the Bostonians

[Danno]

White-Holiday-Brown-Tatum-Porzingis name a better starting 5 Horford backing up Porzingis

No, I was confused about the back to back comment. I mean, the Warriors won the year before last and then the Nuggets. So... uh... what?

He's self medicating on crack.
