2024 NBA Season

[Reid]

And in the end, AD still goes to Lakers. Damn, if I were the Pelicans they should have acted on the first drama to acquired Kuzma too then market the others.

I do agree with you. Kuzma is one of my favorites that will just need some polish to become one of the stars of the NBA.
But, the trade aint that bad. Ingram can be one of the best player also which moves like Durant and with almost the same body figure which will be difficult to defend once he masters his perimeter shots.

Following this: (these players are on the hot list prior to the opening 2018-19 season that is expecting to leave their respective team after the season).

-Kawhi Leonard
-Kevin Durant
-DeMarcus Cousins
-Kyrie Irving
-Should I include Carmelo Anthony? lol.

Aren't you going to add Patrick McCaw?   He is hot with 3 rings. 
Durant will be a keep if he will be offered for max contract. Maybe in two years he will be healed. (2 years to include mental healing)
Klay will be locked by GSW.
Kemba, Butler, Tobias, Brogdon, Bogdanovic and Randle. I want to create a team with this guys in.  
Lakers might get one of this guys rather than a pure star. Butler though is an exception. I think he doesn't like Lebron that much.

AD and Lebron is not enough to make a team a championship contender they still need shooters around them. If I was Lakers right now I would definitely put AD on center and Lebron on PF because they always play the position of SF-PF for now yet in the current league we have putting them on SF-PF would make them put another Center on the team that is useless since Lebron and AD could do it anyway.

After you put AD-Lebron on PF-C then you can get yourself 3 more players on pg-sg-sf which they all should be capable of shooting, seth curry type of players would be perfect for Lakers because they are shooters but if they can afford players like danny green for example that would be awesome too, they need the three and d type of players on all those positions and even on the bench. I don't know how they will be capable of affording it but they need to focus purely on shooters and nothing else.

If most of the players of Golden State Warriors are healthy during the championship, do you think they can beat Toronto Raptors?

With their current line up and if Kahwi remains, they can't beat the Raptors.

We will certainly have different opinion here, I guess its not wise to say discuss the as ifs of the game as it's already over, let's get the appreciation to the Raptors as they fought well and clean, so they deserved the championship. Everyone has their team, so answer could be bias, but we can reflect on the fact that already happened.

In my opinion, both teams are equal.
But the point is that not the players should be healthy. The most important fact is to be on form and in a good shape. This matter the most in NBA games which is an difficult period for the players

When it comes to paint then theres no doubt that these two can really do the job but come to think that they are also capable on doing 3's but I do agree on your point
they do need up some shooters caliber team mate for them  as a good contender on next season.

The Raptors were destined to be NBA champions, nobody expect them in this position when the season starts then came playoff time suddenly all the stars aligned in their favor. That lucky bounced that won them the series against the Sixers and injuries to the Warriors KD and Klay when they are needed on their team while the Raptors remain healthy all the way.

I dont really believe on destiny fully but rather i do believe on hardwork and some sort of luck and those things you

do mention is just merely coincidence where people can really see that those chances are meant to happen.No one really
expects for Raptors to go all the way to the finals but due into their handwork and teamwork it did really pays of.

Yes, overall the trade isn't bad. Pelicans won also on this trade although we can just see the result for maybe the next 2-3 seasons or if......

..more importantly, Pelicans should not stop acquiring role players. They are really sucked building a great team. Look how they wasted Anthony Davis talent for several seasons without even attempting to compete in the big market to find a good player to join alongside with the superstar.

Aren't you going to add Patrick McCaw?   He is hot with 3 rings.  

He is the lucky charm of Toronto Raptors so I guess he will not be traded.

Danny Green mentioned that before.

Stop finding a reason why the Raptors won. It's not luck. They worked on it.

Move on guys.

Weird though, but it seems to me that they're destined to be NBA champs as least for this season, to be able to repeat it is different though, it is very difficult to stay at the top because everyone is going to bark on you. I'm sure Leonard will return in Toronto but it's going to be difficult to repeat as champion next year.

[Remainder]

Who do you think will be favored to win the Championship next season?

I'd love to bet in the NBA futures again, and I think Lakers has a shot of winning, I won't bet I guess on the Raptors as I believe there will be no repeat, also the odds would not be attractive anymore.

[jakelyson]

Who do you think will be favored to win the Championship next season?

That is really hard to predict right now. Teams are still trying to get good players on their teams, superstars free agencies have not yet landed on a team and the draft pick is not yet through. We can only make a good prediction once all the roosters are complete.

I'd love to bet in the NBA futures again, and I think Lakers has a shot of winning,

This can be true if they can find a good guard to complete their trio superstar and good shooters as role players. It will be a challenge because they only have 32 million left in their cap space.

There's a rumor spreading that Kemba Walker is one of the Lakers want.
Kemba Walker is totally good for Los Angeles Lakers since Anthony Davis already in. Lebron James + Anthony Davis + Kemba Walker = The Big 3 again.
Since McGee as one of their center already improving, but I'm still not comfortable on Mcgee as the center of Lakers but they can improve it as time goes by.

Mcgee does not need to score, his defense is good especially his blocking ability, and this center is also good in FT.
The Lakers with the arrival of Davis is going to be one of the best teams in the NBA and Lebron is happy with this, when he is happy with his teammates, lots of positive things will happen, however, if great addiction like Kemba, that they'll be better than the Warriors even with Durant I believe.

Los Angeles Lakers will not make any transactions now involving Kuzm. Sealing this young guy at the franchise.

Lakers did the first move this post-season. What's next and what's team.

Following this: (these players are on the hot list prior to the opening 2018-19 season that is expecting to leave their respective team after the season).

-Kawhi Leonard

A player leaving the team after a winning season? Is this common in the NBA? I reckon the Raptors will give Kawhi a big bonus and a big increase to the money the pay him to keep him.

[Janation]

It is too early to predict that now since we have no solid information about the trades and the teams in the next season.

Kawhi got his 2nd MVP and that is great since it proves how great he is, another thing is the trades which Kawhi is also included but I don't think he will be leaving TR that easily after this win. Also, as far as I know, he already told the press what is his plan for this next season. There is no way that TR will just let their MVP leave like that.

He will be offered with the biggest salary in the league so he will stay, I think Toronto can give that since they really appreciate this achievement the team have made last season. Maybe let's look on the other teams and forget about Toronto for awhile as surely they'll be intact for the next season.

Then, it's exciting to see Toronto Raptors vs Golden State Warriors w/out injured players game on next season. Some Golden State Warriors fans here are still can't move on after Toronto Raptors won the championship.

Also for Kawhi Leonard, I don't think that money still matters for him, Kawhi Leonard is still young and he's not really into money unlike the other one goat from Los Angeles Lakers.

Nah Kawhi is kinda loyal if it wasn't because of misunderstanding in Spurs, Kawhi is probably still there. His aim is to become one of the greatest NBA player of all time. So Kawhi will probably stay at Raptors, as if Raptors will gave up this guy, the reason why they made up to NBA Finals and got a ring.

True, we'll have a better idea when all trades are over.

But if I have to choose at this point, the Bucks should be a decent pick. Rockets would have been a good choice also if only Harden and Paul did not have a feud.

Not until they will change to a team play, the last season when they reach the West NBA finals, they still could not beat the Warriors, so I guess there will be no improvement if we will still witness the same rooster of this team. They need harden to calm down a bit, because if they will remain a one man game, it will still be the same ending they have 2 seasons ago, or even worse, I would go with them if AD landed on them, but since it's on the Lakers already, no chance for them.

Toronto Raptors will surely offer a luring contract.

However, we all know that Kawhi did not really prefer joining the Raptors prior to the season. He just wants to get out from the vicinity of San Antonio Spurs so any 1-year deal with any teams will do. Now that he worked together with the Raptors especially they got the Larry O' Brien trophy, we don't know if something changes his mind along the way.

I'd love to bet in the NBA futures again, and I think Lakers has a shot of winning, I won't bet I guess on the Raptors as I believe there will be no repeat, also the odds would not be attractive anymore.

Does NBA futures pick already out now? Didn't check it yet.

How sure you are the Raptors won't have an attractive odds? We are talking about speculating next champs here so surely Raptors will have an attractive odds. And trade deadline is way long over so definitely it will be changed prior 2019-20 NBA season. Way more realistic to expect a decent odds for Raps compare to Golden State Warriors honestly.
