2024-2025 Around the NBA Thread

Great news, since they can do it directly with the Bulls without including the Suns and Jimmy Butler.

LaVine has a 15% trade kicker and the Bucks want to move Pat Connaughton, so the thinking seems to be, it will take more teams to get a deal done.

I'd be happy if the Suns could add a couple of 4/5 type players and roll with that, especially if they could keep their first round picks.

A few days ago, i think, Vince Carter's jersey was retired - again. This time for the Nets.

Am I the only one who feels like the Net's jersey retirement was not deserved?

Second, imo, he's overrated, and to get two jersey retirements??? Cmon.

I meant to post this here instead of the Suns discussion thread.

The Kings may look to shop De'Aaron Fox.

So you're saying you don't want him in the Suns Ring of Honor?

He's going to end up in Houston. They have a lot of young talent, valuable picks, expiring or reasonable contracts, and are a strong scorer away from being legit contenders. Fox is who they've been holding out for since the Butler fiasco started. They've reportedly been eyeing Fox or Book, whoever was available first.

Fox had the best clutch stats for a PG the last couple of years. He could make a big leap on a team like Houston with a good supporting cast and coach.

Definitely underserved. I never think of Vince as a Net and he was on a few decent teams in New Jersey but that didn't last all that long. Vince was a Raptor. I have to wonder if Kenyon Martin or Richard Jefferson weren't available this season. Both more deserving from an outside perspective.

The Golden State Warriors announce they will retire Andre Iguodala’s No. 9 jersey on February 23 following the team’s game against the Dallas Mavericks. It will be the franchise’s seventh retired jersey.

Lakers. Sixers.

WTH is reddick thinking inserting Bronny in while they’re down big at the end of the third. He does absolutely nothing when he’s out there except pass to daddy.

Kind of answered your own question. If Reddick can't appease LeBron with wins he does so with playing time for Bronny. Reddick's job is making LeBron happy above all else.

Embiid might be in even worse shape than Leonard. He might be toast.

Too bad they can't keep it together in Sacramento. They have been competetive some seasons with Fox, Sabonis & co.

I wonder if Fox got Brown fired.

Atlanta Hawks' Jalen Johnson will undergo season-ending surgery to repair a shoulder injury, sources tell ESPN. Johnson has averaged 19 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists for the Hawks this season.

DA is shooting 1.1 free throws a game in 30mpg this season. Making 0.7 FT’s per game is nuts.

He was good last night against Giannis though.
