Official NBA General Discussion 2023-24 V2.0

[SirKen]

Active players who've been the #1 on a title team:

Curry - out in play-in
KD - out in the 1st round
Lebron - down 3-1 in 1st round
Giannis - down 3-1 in 1st round
Kawhi - 2-2 in 1st round
Jokic - Up 3-1 1st round

You're starting to see the transition from the old superstar generation to the new superstar generation. It's unlikely that Curry, KD, Lebron, Kawhi ever win another title as a #1. The younger Giannis/Jokic still have a lot of juice left, but guys like Edwards, Tatum, Doncic, Shai are starting to take over not only in the reg season but in the playoffs.

Doncic needs a bit more discipline to lose his fat and build up his stamina, so that he doesn't end up with injuries come play-off time. He is not winning **** until then. I have said this the year he entered the league and I am still waiting...

Jokic isn’t exactly built like a fitness model and is pretty good. Mavs problem is they’ve done a terrible job of asset management. They don’t have enough around Kyrie and Luka. I don’t see them winning anything.

It is about avoiding injuries, not about defensive fitness.

Jalen Brunson is a bad man. Son is the King of NY.

NO Michael Walken.

LeBron seems to be opting out. Time for Masai to work his magic and get both LeBron and Bronny to setup a 3-year dynasty.

We'd have the following core:

IQ
RJ
LeBron
Barnes
Poeltl

Dick, Bronny, Olynk, LeBron's boy #1, LeBron's boy #2, LeBron's boy #3

Who says no?

I'll take all their crap if they give us TM3.

I think there's a real possibility they move Zion, maybe McCollum as well if they they can find a taker for that contract.

Ingram + the young guys like Murphy, Jones are probably safe.

Ingram's up for an extension this summer. I'm not sure they'd max him out, and he's been benched a couple times in late games in favour of Trey/Herb.

He'd be a good target for us then. Big wing who can create and score, still only 26.

Tough to see a team willing to pay for Zion. He makes Zydrunas Ilgauskas games played record look like Cal Ripken Jr.

I've always liked his game and apparently he's a great teammate. Problem is he is always injured.

MSG is absolutely going to explode when the Knicks advance to the second round.

What a wonderful squad to watch play basketball.

What is a Julius Randle?

That basically sums up NO's core. It's going to be interesting to see what NO's does because they have some serious talent, but because of injury / cost issues, they may not get true value back in a trade for their core guys.

Roster just seems flawed. Val/Zion/Ingram/Jones is just a poor fit together because they have huge spacing issues and a lot of overlap in skills.

I'd still gamble on Ingram and Zion just because both have allstar level upside and both are still relatively young.

Ingram and Zion aren't exactly Ironmen when it comes to games played.

They should blow the whole thing up. Zion is unprofessional about his health. Ingram is injury prone. McCollum is paid too much for what you get.

A real sense of urgency to get better? 100 bucks say they get worse by shedding salary. CJ, maybe Ingram. They won't be as good next year. Unless Murphy and Daniels take some significant steps forward.
