2020-21 Around the NBA Thread

[Mainstreet]

And they didn’t know it was torn during our series? I understand gamesmanship with injuries, but isn’t it outright lying to not disclose this?

I know it's not the same thing but Joel Emiid reportedly played with a partially tore meniscus.

Can a player play with a partially tore ACL? I doubt it but I'm not a medical professional.

Risky, but potentially interesting offseason target for the Suns?

Blazers Won’t Give Zach Collins Qualifying Offer

The power forward has only played in 11 games over the past two seasons.

A smart team doesn’t throw money at a guy who can’t stay healthy. It’s been two years since he’s really played and even then he only showed glimpses.

Maybe for the minimum depending upon what medical says about injuries.

I think they've all been from the same ankle problem. If that's the case, and if it looks like the surgery really solved the issue this time, he'd be a great pickup on a low money deal. But I suspect someone else will throw more money at him then we should be willing to risk.

Speaking of blazers, a former blazer, has meyers leonard been blackballed from the league? I'm not suggesting we bring him on.

I would consider not being a suns fan if they signed him.

Replacement players for Team USA are Keldon Johnson and JaVale McGee.

Javale McGee?

 

[Mainstreet]

Javale McGee?

I'm a bit surprised because McGee is strictly an inside player but I didn't think Love was the best choice either.

 

[Mainstreet]

It looks like Igor Kokoskov may join Dallas as an assistant.

The NBA play-in format will be extended another season.

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Javale McGee?

Yeah my thought too. Are there just no other American big men anymore? I mean look at all nba teams: jokic, giannis, embiid, Gobert - all foreigners. Look at others - valancius, nurkic, porzingas, capela, vucevic are all foreign. I guess there’s wood and KAT at center. Considering power forwards there’s siakam, sabonis who are foreign. Randle, Collins, Tobias Harris, AD, are american. Too early for Zion?

Just aren’t a lot of US born bigs anymore.

Report: Nets pay for houses for stars’ girlfriends

There’s a lot of things that the Nets do that aren’t kosher. There’s a reason they have this kind of kremlin-esque wall around everything they do. During the middle of COVID, they were working out half the team – well, really, Kyrie, KD and their friends on the team – out in Kobe’s old gym in California. You weren’t allowed to do that during COVID.

It seems like a foregone conclusion Willie Green of the Suns will be the next head coach for the Pelicans.
