2024-2025 Around the NBA Thread

[Mainstreet]

He's a locker room cancer who isn't talented enough for teams to want to put up with his attitude.

Harrell was arrested for pot a few seasons back. I know legalities are sketchy with some states being legal, some legal with RX, and others not. I don't take issue with anyone smoking in their free time from my personal perspective but I'm also not cutting a 7 figure paycheck to someone who can't or won't cover their own self in that regard either. I can see why he doesn't have a roster spot. At 30, he's not going to become more than he was either so there's no more upside to bank on, especially after an ACL tear.

Montrezl Harrell was a good player with the Clippers a few years back.

Zach Edey is going to be a load for a defender to handle down low.

I am really curious to know if this will even work anymore.

With teams shooting so many 3's and having a lot of 40% shooters, this dude would almost have to shoot 70% to make this effective.

Yikes.

Just shocking. Who would have seen that coming?

There is always a demand for inside defenders, scorers and rebounders at the center spot. It keeps defenses honest.

Phoenix will open the season at the Clippers.

The Suns will catch a break of sorts with Kawhi Leonard out.

OKC has the Clippers unprotected pick/swap.

 

[Hoop Head]

OKC has the Clippers unprotected pick/swap.

This shows what happens when giving up a fortune for a player. George is gone yet they're still paying for him. That hurts to see since we'll do the same.

 

[Phrazbit]

OKC has the Clippers unprotected pick/swap.

It's hard to see them as a playoff team. Harden is going to have to turn back the clock for them to play 500.

In other news, Lonzo played in an NBA game!

Who plays more games this year; Lonzo or Kawhi?

 

[Mainstreet]

It doesn't feel right waiving someone named Charlie Brown.

[Mainstreet]

And Boogie Ellis gets waived by the Kings.

Landry Shamet of the Knicks is out for the start of the season with a dislocated shoulder.

[Mainstreet]

Matisse Thybulle of the Trail Blazers is expected to miss 3–4 weeks. He had a procedure done on his right knee.

[Mainstreet]

That's what he gets for answering the phone.

The video of the injury looked pretty brutal.

I don't think he's a very good basketball player but I felt a little bad he became a whipping boy because Monty loved him. That shouldn't be a negative to fans. His play is fair game though when criticizing.

That's a gnarly injury. He should bounce back if it was only dislocated without any tissue damage but he could be mentally cooked going forward, like Zarko and Fortson. Shamet is a borderline talent now so he doesn't have to make a significant drop to fall out of the league.

Even worse, it could cost Landry Shamet a spot with the Knicks.

Lucy did it non-stop.

 

[Superbone]

Lucy did it non-stop.

I can hear the music now after he got waived.

[Cheesebeef]

It just made so little sense for the Clippers to give Kawhi that contract extension.

 

[elindholm]

Just shocking. Who would have seen that coming?

And yet the Suns are about to give Durant a two-year extension, despite having literally zero competition for his services.

 

[Mainstreet]

Lonnie Walker is available. He could help a contender. I wonder if the Suns have any interest.
