NBA Season - now 24/25

fuck the Sixers got robbed!!!
Did they thing they were getting 2018 James Harden?
If Simmonds gets back up to speed quickly, i think the Nets just jumped to outright favourites. Seth Curry is actually a really fucking good player and will help the Nets hugely.

I don't think the 76'ers were robbed at all. Morey knows exactly what he's getting with Harden, and Simmons was a zero for them anyway. Harden will be amazing with Embiid, and we have a gazillion pieces of evidence that says when you have a superstar in their prime, you do whatever you can to win now, because it ain't lasting.
Agree re Nets though, an engaged Simmons is perfect for them.
Genuine win/win trade.

Torrey Craig transfers back to the Suns for the playoffs.

upon reflection, yes, win win, both teams better
Biggest question mark is how does this affect Kyrie? Does it spur him to get a needle and play? Because that's a game changer.

I just watched Lebron and KD draft their All Star teams. It was more entertaining than I thought it'd be.
The end was quite funny. With only two players left on the board, KD had a choice between Harden and Gobert with his last pick and he selects Gobert haha. KD is stone cold.

Harden just looked disinterested of late. Like his exit from Houston I expect him to make a huge improvement now he's moved on

Only surprise in the Nets / Sixers deal was the Andre Drummond move. He’s been playing very well and is the perfect sub for Embiid. He still rebounds like a beast and can score when needed.
Some other moves that might shape some things differently come playoff time - the Clippers got significantly better with Powell and Covington.
Charlotte getting Montrez is a massive win for them.
Cavs getting a pretty decent scorer in LeVert for basically nothing is good for a team I enjoy watching.
Schroder who was having a good year, gets traded from Boston just means more shots for Brown and Tatum
-
Close game between GS and LAL. I can't believe they can play like this and be so poor against for so many games. They look like they will go down but probably should have won after the luck eluded them at almost every turn in the final minutes. Made some good plays but failed to finish. Jeez Anthony Davis plays so small for a big guy. Settles for the fade away jumper far too often when he should bang it down low
-
Josh Giddey is having quite the rookie season. Another triple-double today even though they couldn't beat the Spurs
The kid is pretty classy.

Anthony Day-to-Davis rolls his ankle and will be out for a bit i think
If you are the Lakers, do you blow the whole thing up? The roster is fucked, they have no draft capital. You could get some pretty sweet pieces for LBJ...
I mean, it will never happen, but it should be considered.

Should have traded AD. LBJ will probably leave soon

Crazy night
Nets were getting blown out by the Knicks. Came back to win
Warriors were always comfortably in control of the Nuggets until they choked and lost to a last play 3.
Jazz led the Lakers by heaps and gave it up for the L as well
