Thoughts on the Celtic offer for him then?
Re: The NBA Begins by Khanben: 5:31pm On Aug 23, 2022
The tables are set for a great season. Nets, Celtics, GSW, Clippers, Bucks and the Sixers if Harden gets back to all-nba form, all have a legitimate case for winning it all next season.

Like I said after he demanded a trade, every team considered a trade for him and the Celtics were not any different. Trading JB for KD was going to be a tough sell, especially for the Boston fanbase. KD makes up for a lot of things but JB was the better of the 2 J's in the Finals. I was very sure it wasn't going to happen mostly because of the other pieces that it will cost the Celtics in addition to losing JB and that is why I stayed quiet when there was noise on this thread.

The demand for a trade by KD is important for the Nets because while it ruffles feathers, it reminds everyone in the organization that they can not be comfortable. I expect Steve Nash's approach to coaching to be mature and better while the GM and other management will become more accountable. More importantly, no one understands the weight of expectation going into this season better than KD. Getting swept by the Celtics definitely did not sit well with KD.

I think they have a good rotation, any team with KD is expected to contend.

Na media don too enable players sha and make them believe all sorts. You want flexibility na him you agree to 4 year deal.

Na why I still respect LeNomad. At least sign a short term deal if you're undecided. How do you sign for the long haul and try to handicap a franchise who have handed you the car keys like that. This Nets squad is enough to win a title. If he's HIM. There's no reason he shouldn't make the Finals inside the next 2 seasons

Be like this Chet Holmgren na reverse of Zion. Let him put some meat and muscle on his body if he wants to have a decent NBA career. How the hell are you 7'2 and under 200 pounds. Did he grow up in Darfur?

How does he think he will cope moving forward if he doesn't bulk up?

I have a sneaky suspicion Westbrook is going to get traded. Likely to Indy or some other team but I can't seem to shake it.

Bulking up is the easiest fix, OKC will take care of that. It’s part of the training development. KD, Unibrow, Jokic, Giannis all came into the league with little or no muscles but look at them today.

It’s just sad that we are not going to see him this season. It will be huge test of his mental strength.

I definitely thought he was going to need to bulk up going into the season. It would be better he uses that offseason to do so. Obviously the fact that it was Lebron barging into him doesn't help matters but a 7ft under 200 just won't fly

The thing is, his injury just put them back into the Victor Wayembama sweep stakes, because I think they now have a good excuse to tank again this upcoming season.

They have a reason to tank every season. I felt like Chet was going to be a bust anyhow. Perhaps this is just karma? aliondo should just suit up if he feels so aggrieved grin

Durant and Kyrie have monopolized this summers news cycle. Still, its unusually quiet in lakerland. Maybe they are all watching bronny

Tanking with Chet, I seriously doubt that, just for the fact they already have too many young players who need minutes to show if they have it or not. Also SGA is on a Max and, will they seriously continue to pay him just to tank.
IMHO if Chet was not hurt and they ended up not fighting for a play in spot, then something had to give.

PS: IMHO there can be such a thing, as too much young talent on a team and OKC is heading there.

I think they are already there? Didnt lack of play time factor into Harden heading to the Rockets. OKC could find itself in the same scenario again.

Rockets tried to pick complementary pieces, and even let some young talent go. And it still is a head scratcher how our young pieces will fit into a team that can make the playoffs in the west, and at the same time give them all enough play time.
Re: The NBA Begins by Khanben: 11:26pm On Sep 01, 2022
Called the Cleveland trade but totally whiffed on the compensation. A backcourt of Garland and Donovan is not that bad especially with Mobley and Allen cleaning up things on the inside.
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 12:46am On Sep 02, 2022
Lol this Danny Ainge na thief.

7 first rounders and like 4 picks swaps for two guys that can't get past the first round

Cleveland definitely should be a threat to make the playoffs now

As for Gobert I'm sure the Timberwolves GM is scratching his head for this trade after watching how he played vs Germany at the Eurobasketball.

Giving up 4 first rounders for Gobert is criminal
