NBA Season - now 24/25

10Bn USD.
The owner has built the Dodgers into a juggernaut. I expect he will spare no expense to achieve his aim to do the same with the Lakers
-
Pacers come out with a defensive intensity in the second and third quarters, whilst getting across the board contributions in the scoring column. An almost perfect game from them.
-
Beat the Thunder by double digits and your top scorer is off the bench for 20. Super teams are dead!

I don't see it. Suns don't need another guard, let alone an inefficient guard like Green. Their 5 highest paid players are all shooting guards. None of them fit well next to each other.
Brookes is a good role player, but doesn't move the needle for a team like this.
10th pick is OK, but usually doesn't pan out to be anything much. And 5 2nd rounders is a bunch of fluff.

Every pundit talking about KD being washed, yeah nah. He is still a top 15 player in this league. Plus pairing him with Sengun is going to be something.

You'd think they are planning to try to do an OKC and turn a few of those pieces into more picks (or maybe players).
That new owner group got what they fucking deserved.
OKC on top in the 4th, Haliburton went down injured.

@gt12 Hali’s achilles tighten the way it did and then give in was tough to watch.

I hope it's not super serious.
Understand him trying to play but it would be horrible if it fucks his shit up for next season.

I think it’s a proper achilles so he’ll be out for a while.

Can't upvote that.
Thunder win by 10 or so.
Good on them, great organization.

Amazing, after failing to win with Westbrook/Durant/Harden, they rebuild through the draft bigger and better this time. Sam Presti is a very smart guy, and ownership were smart enough to trust the process

@canefan built somewhat through the draft, given their best player came through the PG trade.
What certainly helped (other than the luck that most teams need to win this stuff) is the culture side. Check your ego at the door and play a role.
Hartenstein was one of the best offseason pick ups coming into this season. Love how he plays and just effort after effort. Obviously NY couldn’t hold him, but what they would’ve done to have him in their run.

The East is going to be wide open
- No Tatum
- No Halliburton
- Knicks TBA coach
The champion will probably still emerge out of the West

The scary thing is OKC I ready to make another run. They are loaded with draft picks which they could use to make a big trade. Or they could just run it back with the same core. Not sure about Denver. They will have to decide whether to reload around Joker. Minnesota will probably need to upgrade somehow. Under new ownership the Lakers will be a force, but I'm not sure they're going to make the leap next year, unless he wants to go way over the luxury tax. I think their improvements will be mainly in the front office and organisational. It remains to be seen if the acquisition of KD takes Houston to the next level

With KD, the Rockets will actually have some go-to offence, so it will interesting to see how they fit. It could be just the right move.
Green is one of those players who could be really really good, but he just hasn't pushed through. If you are the Suns, do you keep him and move the other pieces?
Whoever decided that trading for Beale was a good idea should get a daily kick in the nuts.

OKC should be able to hold on to most of their pieces - run it back!
