2024-2025 Around the NBA Thread

The Pacers plan to sign center Tony Bradley to a 10-day contract.

Tony Bradley wouldn't have been a bad pickup on a two-way. I seem to recall him having a semi-impressive stretch a few years back. He has the physical tools worth a look, at the least.

We needed another wing though, according to our GM. At least that seems to be his priority.

I'm sure there are some wings out there. The Clippers just waived MarJon Beauchamp.

I haven't seen much of Tony Bradley play, but I think James Jones should be looking at players. Other teams are.

Kai Jones intends to sign with the Mavericks.

I think they make the WCF’s but lose in 5 to OKC. Their frontcourt is too big of a mismatch for LA.

The Raptors are likely to shop RJ Barrett in trade talks this summer after attempting to move him before the deadline for Brandon Ingram, per

No thanks to RJ. If he's not good enough for Canada...

And the Mavs just announced they are raising their ticket prices. The fun never ends. It has to be an attempt by the new owner to leave for Vegas.

Kyrie got hurt tonight and it looked pretty bad, knee bent the wrong way, wasn't putting any weight on it after.

Welp.

I'd be surprised, mircofracture surgeries have had terrible outcomes. Not only do athletes no longer undergo them but in general the medical world seems to have come to the conclusion they do far more harm than good.

I had micro fracture surgery in my right knee in my 20s. Have had two arthroscopic surgeries since then. Took 3 months before I could walk without crutches.

The Pistons are 21-9 over their last 30 games with the best defense in the NBA:
116.1 OffRtg (11th)
109.1 DefRtg (1st)
+7.0 NetRtg (4th)
Detroit has transformed into a team many contenders will not want to see in the first round of the playoffs.

 

[BirdGangThing]

HOLY WOW

does kyrie going down put the suns in the play in? does dallas have the balls to tank after the luka disaster?

Its being put on a silver plated platter for us, the kings downgraded and the mavs with injuries to a ton of people. Instead we are just so bad.

it's crazy right?

Mavs dump Luka under the insane idea that they have a short window and he is somehow hurting it and now they probably won’t make the playoffs. Amazing.

This is going to get even uglier in Dallas with both Irving and AD out. The Doncic trade is going to haunt them for a long time. Their fans must be beyond upset.

Only the Suns moves can compete with this insanity.
