2022-23 Around the NBA Thread

I think he's going to the Celtics unfortunately.

Sometimes Gallo comes on holiday where I live. If I met him before he signs, I will try to tell him to come to Arizona!

Also we might need you scout some European prospects for the Suns while you are at it.

I love the Suns but surely I don't have the ability to do this. Eheheh.

No worry. The Suns aren't good at it either.

I love SVG when he breaks down basketball on Lebatard

The NBA is tightening up penalties on transition take fouls and bench decorum.

Doncic is allegedly not satisfied with the Mavs offseason so far. I think he is crazy. To me they have shored up their biggest weakness in the offseason. I have a feeling a few years down the road Doncic might be forcing his way out of Dallas if things don't go his way. He is a crybaby on the court and type of player where he would throw a tantrum to get out of town if not happy.

Luka Doncic Not Satisfied With Dallas Mavericks Offseason So Far: "I Hope The Mavericks Front Office Have Options To Make New Additions"

Luka Doncic is the kind of superstar that every front office dreams to have the opportunity of drafting. The reason teams like the Houston Rockets, Oklahoma

I think you can count on that. I expect one off-season in the not too distant future, he will be either forcing a trade to LA and/or to some triple star lineup.

I'm not surprised. They lost, arguably, their 2nd best player for nothing. They traded for a center who, frankly, I think wouldn't start on most teams and likely will not be on the court in the clutch.

Rick is dead on.

I've always said; "I don't get why players are not fighting each other over the right to live in Indianapolis!?!? It combines the crime of Baltimore with the weather of Cleveland and the culture of Des Moines!"

The Pacers being the only realistic max contract option is a coincidence... Ayton would probably play there for free.

The Pacers have to sell any attraction they have.

They've had some good players there but it hasn't worked out for them.

It's actually the current state of how Indiana plans to operate is good for young guys who just need to play but not for max guys. DA will want out as quickly as Jermani Grant did especially if Indiana doesn't keep any vets.

Why should he be happy? They lost their only other legit scorer, and he had way to much pressure on him to score already.

I don't see how they are not a worse team than last season right now.

They lost there second best player. Christian Wood and McGee don’t move the needle.

Stars win championships he wants another star in Dallas and if they don’t get one for him I could see him leaving

And they have not resigned one of their own picks since Hiesman Trophy winner, Charlie Ward!

Might as well put those picks to some kinda use.

Has anyone seen the workout video for Dennis Smith Jr? He has the most blockable shot I've ever seen, how have I never noticed that before?
