2024 NBA Season

[Reid]

Who watched this?
Draymond Green interview with ESPN.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgkArldKmfQ

Funny thing is this guy is telling the truth.
He hears that GSW will not go to the playoffs. But yet he still have that will to make it. He is getting matured every year. We might see a different Draymond this year.
Just him and Curry being healthy, I do think they can even make the 4th or 5th spot.
One analyst says, you cannot foretell what will happen. Injuries are there and if will be a bad one there will be a higher chance GSW could even make it to top 3 in the West.
Do not underestimate the power of Steph.

But after all the Cousins drama the Lakers remain as the favorite according to Caesars Sportsbook.
Next is Clippers and then the Bucks.
I dont think that is much loss to the team and they might be expecting it too since they gave him just a little low amount.

Sad part is Demarcus is on his way into coming back and showing his skills again. Now this.

They still have James and AD and I think that is enough for the Lakers to be the favourite this season.

I agree that is the sad part, he had shown his skill as a Warriors even though  playing with limited minutes. It will be painful for him to be in the sideline and just watch Lakers with James and Davis playing and having some fun.

If both LeBron and AD will play healthy this season they have a very good chances to win this title, it's early though for any assessment as the league even not started yet, this odd still a speculative for sportshouse they are giving early opinions so fans and bettors will be able to point their favorite teams and how they can assess the possibilities.

Cousin's issue may affect as he can deal as one of the big factors interiorly but with his condition AD need to step up and extend his play time.

I seriously doubt that Lakers will win the league, but it might be one of the most interesting seasons in a while, i cant wait for it to start

Who knows, maybe they can push it if they perform well with this coming season there's always possibilities to each teams who wanted to climb up, LeBron have a good lineup now if you will review them  all the position have a designated players who can play the role, it's up to the coaches how to execute good plays and manage to rotate the right combinations of players that who will going to give them the good chemistry.

Draymond started to get a bit more like the day he started to argue with KD on that last possession day. Dude is not a clean player, he does a lot of bad things and we all remember his old "shooting motion" thing and what not which is why he was never really liked in the league, dude was just a dirty player simple as that. However he stopped doing all his other dirty stuff but kept his good defense and he has really shown leadership.

Curry is definitely the best player in that team, Klay is amazing shooter and what not but no matter who you ask Draymond is the leader of that team, he really knows how to handle teammates and how to pump them up and talks a lot during the game so it is easy to give him 100 million. It is of course a bit of "thanks for what you have done for us" but at at the same time some of it is for the future leadership as well.

I agree that he is not a clean player but I tell you he is a player that aspire others to play basketball. He was a 2nd rounder stolen by the Golden State Warriors. It's like Isiah Thomas or Jordan Clarkson that came from the 2nd round but came out strong in the league. Let's not forget the troubles he went to before he is right now. . Thumbs up for the dude for that.

I don't agree that Draymond Green is not liked in the league, even if he is not the cleanest player.Many popular players in NBA were a bit dirty like Malone, Stockon, Rodman etc.

It is hard not to like  and respect players like Draymond Green. He was not the God given talent, but due incredible work rate  and BBIQ he managed to become what he is.Rare are players like him that can defend all 5 positions, and on top of that he is heart and soul of Warriors, incredibly competitive player that pushed others around him to perform better.

I agree that Draymond Green is a dirty player but that's how he is, but if you see how he hustles in the floor, you will realize how he energize his team and always wants to win. Draymond Green was once a defensive player of the year, and that's just his style of play, he is very physical and in overall he has a good IQ as a player. Draymond does not produce good scoring but he can help his team to win with defense and rebounding, many times I saw him tallied a triple double and what I admire about him is he knows how to pass the ball, I mean he is a good passer.

However he stopped doing all his other dirty stuff but kept his good defense and he has really shown leadership.

On top of my list as a defensive player award being dirty? Dennis Rodman and Ron Artest. So that's their style, trying to intimidate and rough players in the paint. But in the end, I would say that it is very effective, because the game is very physical. As a fan, we might not like what we've seen, but then again those guys really knows how to take advantage and again the intimidating factor.

Curry is definitely the best player in that team, Klay is amazing shooter and what not but no matter who you ask Draymond is the leader of that team, he really knows how to handle teammates and how to pump them up and talks a lot during the game so it is easy to give him 100 million.

Draymond said that he decided to stay with GSW because the core team is still there, so still likes what he is seeing plus adding Russell in the line up makes him more exciting to stay in with the GSW organisation with a cool $100 million.

And that is why rumors aint that accurate. One rumor about him was letting him go but now he have a 100 million dollars contract.

Yes he is dirty but so is the other players. Lebron had some time to disrespect players too. I mean when pride is being protected you will need to do it. Plus it is also an addition to entertainment.
He is being hated for entertaining people?

That's how things works if you are a really good player and you fine your space inside your team, giving him the right playing time and he didn't waste any time to prove his Worth and now he's part of the circle who have a voice when calling the play.

This dude have a good talents, he's an upgraded version of Dennis Rodman who can helped inside and outside and call the attentions of his teammates.

With AD in the Lakers, I think Cousins will not be needed coz he will only slow down the offense of the team. With a young core together with the best veteran in the NBA, the Lakers will not be the same last season.

Well we can said that as well with Cousins during his stint with GSW. That he will  slow down the offence and can't contribute. But we have seen what he had done there, he can still give points, rebounds, shot blocks so I don't agree that Cousins will not be needed by the Lakers, just saying. Him being healthy with Lakers will have a lot of positive effects for them, unfortunately we will not going to see that because of his injury again.

[RealMalatesta]

Being a dirty player and being an idiot dirty player are different things.

Yeah, Rodman was a dirty player but do you really think people loved him at his time? Now we respect his game and hustle but I am sure when he was playing he wasn't really liked, Malone literally raped a 13 year old and didn't even take care of the child they had, he just raped and paid whatever deal they got and moved on like nothing happened, Stockton wasn't that dirty, maybe a bit more greasy but not dirty like other players.

So, Draymond is a player who gives his 100% and a defensive beast and a great leader but that doesn't mean people can't hate his dirty side, just like harden, dude is a great offensive player and amazing scorer but his antic getting fouls all the time methods and flops with some "not travelling" travels are making people hate him too.

I seriously doubt that Lakers will win the league, but it might be one of the most interesting seasons in a while, i cant wait for it to start

Last season when Lebron James transferred, many have been expecting that he's going to blast but everyone has been disappointed.

Right now, it seems that everyone doesn't expect his team to excel for this season. Let's give the king to prove himself together with his new buddies in the team.

Update on some NBA players.

Jeremy Lin:

He could be on his way to China and play with the Beijing Ducks.

Since there is no team that wants to sign him in the NBA, this is a wise decision for him. He can still play the game he says he love and still get paid. I hope he gets it.

Dwight Howard:
There's a chance that he'll be playing again for the Lakers since Cousins is already out due to injury.

[Reid]

Draymond is also just 26 years old.
He still got the heat of a young guy and it gets higher when he is doing a great job defending star players.
He is is just becoming one of those veterans but it will take years.
Somehow, someday he will really change into someone which is better than himself and realize what he did. Still I envy the guy for having such great confidence.

That's good for him, that's a moving on kind of a decision if he will eventually accept the offer.
Playing outside NBA doesn't mean his chance to come back in the NBA is not possible anymore, maybe if he will improve he can come back and enjoy a good salary again, but this time, he needs to accept the reality.

Dwight Howard:

Kobe is not anymore in the Lakers, I think he would do better now, but hopefully he will finish the season.

I wish Jeremy all the best. He may be unlucky after the championship that he have, maybe fate is pushing him away to NBA and putting him at the right league.

Good luck JL!

Howard is going to be a great addition to the Lakers.
They need a Center like him and if they sign him they will be a competitive team for the title next season.
However, I wonder what would be the case when Cousins come back from the injury.

Actually both cousins and Howard are now prone to injury, the last time I saw Howard playing was with the Wizards but he only played limited games due to injury and that was one of the reasons why Wizards miss the playoffs last season.

Now, if he will go with the Lakers, he could be a great addition but he should be healthy to be able to do that.
The last time he played with the Lakers, he does not have a great stats, IIRC, he was playing with Nash that time as well, of course with their captain Kobe.
