NBA Season - now 24/25

I'd like to see the NBA ditch max salaries for players. Leave the team caps, but let the stars get paid.
What would Steph's contract go to - $100m? Giannis $120m?
You'd see every team pay overs for their 1 star then have to fill the roster out with disgruntled, entitled 2nd tier guys and role players getting the crumbs they deserve...

@voodoo surely there’s some sort of kickback going to Looney. For a guy that important to their success and that loyalty and he’s on such low money

That is big. The Bucks loved Holliday, but Lillard is an elite scorer. As long as he can defend...

Jaylen Brown signs the supermax extension with Boston - over $300m USD over 5 years.
I'm skeptical whether the Celtics can win a title with Tatum & Brown but they probably didn't have any other realistic options.
WTF $304M!! Over 5-years. He’ll be making over $69M in year 5. This is for a player is the second option on the Celtics.
I know the Celtics were in a similar position to the Mavericks with Kyrie but far out that is a lot of money for someone who prob 4th of 5th best two guard in the league.
That's superstar money. I don't believe JB is a superstar. At least not yet. Maybe never
That’s GDP money

The possible sleeper in this trade is the Suns getting Nurkic. He will play a role that Ayton hasn’t/won’t, and they won’t be in a bind about getting him minutes because of that fat extension. Will allow Phoenix to play different combinations of small ball.
He might be a punk but Grayson Allen is a nice piece too off the bench for some scoring too.

I think it is very scary. Scary for whoever else is on the squad wanting to touch the rock.

Loving this 4 guard lineup the Knicks are running with - the 3 Nova boys, Brunson, Hart, DiVincenzo, plus Quickley and Hartenstein

Haven't seen much basketball so far, but from what I've seen I think this could be the year for the Celtics.
KP in for Smart has been a clear upgrade. KP stretches the floor, gives them more of an inside threat and just might be the missing piece they have been looking for.
Now he's made of crepe paper so could go down tomorrow, but if they can stay fit I think they will go very close this year.

‘Unbelievable’ Victor Wembanyama explodes for 38 points in fifth NBA game
Victor Wembanyama showed why he was one of the most-hyped prospects in years, scoring 38 points and grabbing 10 rebounds in a win over Phoenix

He also had a huge finish in the 4th against the Suns 2 nights ago.
The kid is special, let’s hope his body holds up 🙏

Waaaay too early in the season for any real takes, but that's boring. Based on 10% of the season (where most teams are still rubbing sleep from their eyes)
Nuggets back to back
Sixers and Celtics will battle it out to be the team to lose to them.Giannis is cooked
The Clipps trading for Harden was the worst trade of all time.Wemby is special. He's a rookie still doing rookie things, but he's already a player teams are thinking about on the defensive end, and he's scoring despite the shocking level of service he's getting out the of the Spurs "guards".
At the other end of careers, the Warriors are in a pickle. They are old. Steph Curry is hard carrying them. Klay Thompson has completely fallen in a hole, but a guy like that, who means that much to the franchise, you can't dick around. So they are sort of stuck starting him. I think i read a stat that, while Curry is averaging 30, no other Warrior has scored 20 in a game. Hard carry.

oh, and for NBA punting
take any Pacers game and bet the overs for total points. Only once all season has one of their games had less than 235 points, most are over 250. Can score. Can't defend.

@mariner4life and very fun to watch too are the Pacers.
Clippers 4th quarter play is kak

I'm not a big +/- guy, but sometimes you just can't ignore it...
