2024-2025 Around the NBA Thread

Is he? He's averaging 22.6 ppg, 9.4 apg, and 8.1 rpg in 35 minutes a game. He's not an All-NBA talent anymore but at 40 years old in less than a month, that's pretty damn good. He's got another year left as a starter on a playoff team, provided the Lakers can get him some help.

Cooked LeBron isn’t the same as cooked Kobe or Dirk where they look unplayable. He’ll always find a way to post box score stats but he legit doesn’t play defense and the Lakers have been better with him on the bench.

This might seem counterintuitive, but I think the players getting their ankles broken should be proud when it happens to them. It means that, regardless of outcome, they were really trying.

I didn't see the game, but back-to-back games in Utah and Minnesota can do that to a player. AD didn't play that well either.

Plus, one game doesn't determine one's fate. He's still in incredible shape and putting up numbers. He'll retire on his terms.

True. Same as getting posterized on a dunk. The shame is in not competing.

My sources tell me something is afoot.
I'm my sources btw.
I was homeschooled what did you expect?

Yes, a soon-to-be 40-year-old Lebron James could help a lot of teams get over the top.

He is currently averaging 22 points, 8 rebounds and 9.1 assists per game.

Meet Germz249 at the Waffle House to discuss. He has sources as well.

Btw, the code date is 12-15-2024.
