NBA Season - now 24/25
-
Kyrie Irving has gone AWOL for undisclosed personal reasons. He was snapped at his sister's birthday party without a mask. There is no timetable on his return, and he will probably be stood down for not wearing said mask. Doing nothing to dispel the idea that he is a locker room cancer and allround bad teammate. I have no sympathy for KD though, he knew who he was getting into bed with

I feel sorry for Sean Marks, he must be spewing after carefully building a strong team culture
He knew what he was getting into with signing Kyrie.
Yes he did. Seduced by KD who wanted Kyrie as well. He swung for the fences but chose the wrong stars to hitch his wagon to

Nets quietly playing better without Kyrie...
And Patty Mills is in some seriously good form right now. With all the ups and downs that will ply out this season, they might snag an unlikely playoff spot. Murray is a massive talent but man he is frustrating sometimes.

@ACT-Crusader I'm quietly impressed by our start actually

Now Sean Marks has traded for James Harden.
Will be a fun ride whatever happens.

Damn I was going to float that!!! Trade for Kyrie or bringing all 3 together? That is a dumpster fire waiting to be lit

I'm not sure why the Pacers were happy to trade Oladipo to the Rockets in all this. Unless his contract is nearing an end.
He is an unrestricted FA at the end of this season

He must have not wanted to stay, or at least suggested this by not signing an extension. Funny because I thought he seemed to have found a home there, in the same state as he played college hoops

I don’t think it’s an easy situation for him given they are a fringe team right now and unless they were making other moves they were never going to contend. Plus holding out he may have got close to a max deal given there aren’t a huge number of big name players coming off contract at the end of 2021.

I’m a DeRozan fan. He was never going to be a superstar, but I love his mid range game and when he attacks the basket and dunks on guys.

he and LMA are enough to get us to .400. Mills playing great ball, and the continued development of Murray could push us to .500 and a playoff spot. We're first round fodder though.
It's a bit of a crazy season though, the lack of crowds is really warping sport around the world.

and now i've just read Harden to the Nets in a 4-team trade deal?
