NBA Season - now 24/25

Very good game between the Grizzlies and Rockets, two of the better teams in the West.
Adams played some very good minutes. His screen setting and passing created space and opportunities. Got half a dozen O boards too.
Both of these teams play pretty good D which should hold them in good stead for a run to the playoffs.

All Star voting being bullshit edition 2024/5
How in the actual fuck are Durant and LBJ named as All Star starters over Wemby?
Wemby is sticking up 24/11/4 with 4 blocks and an on/off of 15 (because without him the Spurs stink)
LBJ is averaging less points, less rebounds, more assists, obviously less blocks, and an on/off of -9
Durant has more points than both, less rebounds, same assists and less blocks. on/off of 2And despite playing for teams with better rosters, the Lakers and Suns only have a couple more wins than the Spurs.
It's fucking bullshit.Steph Curry making it this year is dumb too.

I don’t even know where to start with a response
I guess firstly, it’s the All Star Game?
It’s been a shithouse boring festival of bullshit for the last 20 years, declining every year to levels we never thought possible. It hasn’t been watchable in 2 decades.
Fan voting is the dumbest thing ever, but it doesn’t even matter. Watching these guys jack up 80 3’s and a few alley-oops is worse than watching highlights of women’s soccer.
Stats don’t matter a bit for this.
Hopefully Wemby gets DPOY and an all-NBA - worth so much more than an ASG gig

Trade Deadline looms
Jimmy Butler continues to be a bitch in Miami and i think is indefinitely suspended by the team.
The chat is, he wants to go to the Suns and nowhere else. The Suns have to move someone to make that happens, and word is, that's Bradley Beal. Bradley Beal wants to go somewhere warm with a good team. However it does not appear there are any teams that fit that description that want Bradley Beal.
The surprising one to come up is the Kings moving De'Aaron Fox. The Kings are on a bit of a tear since sacking their coach, and Fox has been there since being drafted. Word is he wants to go to the Spurs to play with Wemby.
The Bulls are going to fire sale everyone because they are already a bit shit, and the only way they keep their first round pick this year out of the Spurs' hands is if it is in the top 10, so the tank is on.

Lakers now don't have anyone to play defence
So any day I expect them to announce they've traded Bronny James and a 2040 3rd round pick for Wemby

A bit of context
What the fuck? Not sure that benefits either team on its own. Ironically AD has been playing well this season. Luka has big upside, but he can't stay away from the buffet table and he can't play defence
-
I don't know enough about the roster to know how this works for Dallas. AD is having a very good season, he'll give them rim protection and scoring. But he's injury prone and 30. I just didn't see this coming, although I did think trading AD was a reasonable option last season
-
-
the story keeps getting weirder. And the playing group look like they have basically quit given the DNPs and the effort today.
-
Also, had he shopped around, i am confident that the Spurs would have given all our picks for Luka. All of them.
-
I’ve moved from shock to be just fucking furious.
They didn’t even get all of the Laker’s picks! For Luka!
I’m furious that they haven’t put pieces around him to succeed, furious that they have traded him, abd furious that they didn’t set up an auction if they were going to trade him.
It seems that the GM was pissed and traded away the franchise player, with, let’s say 10 more good years of service and the ability to be MVP 2?3? times in that period.
Fuuuuuuuuuuck

@voodoo said in NBA Season - now 24/25:
Turns out Kidd didn’t know, Luka didn’t ask to be traded, and Nico only spoke to the Lakers
He could be lynched by Dallas fans. It’s borderline criminal to not even see what you can get in the market for a guy of that calibre
I’m lining up!
fluffybunny mustn’t have sat through 30 years of the Mavs being the absolute shittest team in the league. We may not win it all but we are a playoff team with an absolute star. This is (potentially) our third golden era (era is a bit strong, but best time since we lost Dirk) and this fucking just traded away the piece to build a team around.
