2024-2025 Around the NBA Thread

I bet he still thinks he could take MJ in a game of 1 on 1.

Normally I don't take joy in other's misfortunes but considering how LaVar treated his wife after her stroke, I'll lose no sleep over seeing him be medically humbled.

Seriously.

His manipulation and greed with his awful, cheaply made but horribly expensive shoes appears to have pretty much ruined Lonzo's promising career and has LeMelo's teetering.

Ensure the tank. We've seen the spurs do this before.



edit:

i think they have 4 first round picks this summer.


waive cp3, cp3 comes back to us.

That's a major blow to the Spurs but hey...it improves their draft position....AGAIN. Who wants to place bets they end up with the 3rd overall pick (at least top 5) now?

Yep, they are the masters of it. David Robinson and Tim Duncan anybody? We get one #1 overall in our history and they get get back-to-backs multiple times. Seems fair.

i think the injury is legit because wemby would never sit - but i also think this injury dramatically improves the chances of san antonio becoming the next dynasty

Deep Vein Thrombosis has always sounded like a great band name to me.

Deep Vein Thrombosis has always sounded like a great band name to me.

it's some dangerous ish - I thought it was only in the legs - shoulder is closer to the heart tho - idk if that makes it anymore dangerous

 

[Covert Rain]

My grandmother had this. It can take weeks and sometimes months. Even if legit, I am sure the Spurs front office is really really really upset. Hope the kid recovers quickly.

 

[Mainstreet]

I hope Victor Wembanyama gets well soon.

Deep vein thrombosis can be serious. A member of my family had this condition.

 

[Suns_fan69]

Crappy timing for him, with a likely All-NBA spot and a good chance at DPOY, he was on track for a supermax extension this summer.

I'm sure he still gets it. Or is there something he has to accomplish to get one?

Wemby will fall 19 games short of award eligibility and not win Defensive Player of the Year, or make the All-NBA Teams.Should be an interesting race now

“When a Targaryen is born they flip a coin”. Same for dudes who are 7 ft 4…. Their bodies just aren’t supposed to be running, cutting and jumping. Not sure if this is related to bball.

I can't stomach Portis but this is a really stupid suspension. Tramadol is one of the weakest RX required painkillers out there, far weaker than oxycodone or hyrdocodone, of which neither I expect NBA players would get suspended for having in their system. 25 games seems ludicrous.

Miles Bridges got 30 games for beating his GF to a pulp.

This is only his second year. He's not extension eligible for another year, after 3 seasons.
