NBA Season - now 24/25

@ACT-Crusader it's certainly an interesting experiment.
question. Trade Kyrie?
-
@mariner4life I don’t think they can stop it completely, but the schedule needs a serious look at.
Today the Knicks beat the Celtics by 30. No Tatum and whilst Kemba and Teague were back they were on minute restrictions. Offence was all over the show.

you didn't even need to delve in to the stats to know how restricted the Celtics were. Getting blown out by the Nicks, and posting a small score, you knew they weren't at full strength.
Aren't the Heat severely impacted as well?

Absolutely. I've been banging this drum for a while. They don't need his offense, but they sure need some defense. They probably can't get Simmons now for him, but even Dort from OKC plus picks would be a great trade.

NBA Regular Season, no fucking thanks

Who will take on Kyrie right now? Plus if they are actively talking to any teams and they can’t find a team then Kyrie will probably do an AD and spit the dummy and not play.
I think they hope for the best and that he comes back and buys in.
Kyrie on the wing without the ball handling responsibilities could be awesome for the Nets. As long as Harden takes a bit of time off his own dancing with the ball.

ah the mythical Ben Simmons. Is Simmons going to go anywhere to be a defensive role player who can pass? because that's all he is, even if he doesn't want to admit it. And how much are you willing to pay for that?

The Sixers one won’t happen.

Look, I really dislike Simmons, but how absolutely PERFECT is that for a team with Harden, KD and Joe Harris? Imagine him running the break, finding KD in transition or a trailing Harden/Harris?
At the moment KD is their best defender - they don't need him wearing down over the playoffs because he's on Tatum for 40mins, then LeBron in the finals.
I reckon I'd look closely at Dort - great defender, shoots the 3 at > 40%. Would OKC take a punt on Kyrie for him? Pretty wild fall from grace for Kyrie if they didnt.

agree, 3 weeks ago I'd have said it would be a go, but Kyrie isn't helping himself

Jeff Green and Harris aren’t bad defenders. Green is definitely someone that can play on Giannis or Lebron

Pop quiz for you, how many teams has Jeff Green been on? Don't include Seattle becoming OKC as 2 teams

Without consulting google I can think of Celtics (twice), Cavs, Nets, Grizzlies, Rockets, Sonics/Thunder, Clippers, Magic

Missed two, he played with the Wizards and Jazz in between Cavs and Rockets.

@ACT-Crusader yep, 10 teams in 12 seasons. Its pretty "impressive"!

Second highest amongst active players. Ish Smith has played for 11 and has been in the league a few seasons less than Green.
Nothing beats Jimmy Jackson though. Didn’t he move around after it all went sour at the Mavs.

This Nets v Bucks game has a bit of intensity to it and is now down to the wire.

Giannis must be thinking - oh great - my East path just got even harder.
It could be worse, he could be in the West
