2024 NBA Season

[Pamadar]

We will see once Harden starts playing for the team, he will exit the Rockets, so hopefully that's the right decision to make. Harden obviously is very desperate to win a championship and now they made Nets a super team, and usually superteam succeed, so let's see.

No way for him to get  that title without any help with players who do have that caliber.

Now with the Nets the chance is very high. KD and Kyrie both have the title after pairing with co-superstars and a team that have championship  calibers. We will see now if how they'll going to distribute  the  ball and have a clear chemistry  from each other  to win the title.

We talked about Brooklyn Nets here too many times and highlight their lack of scorers besides Kyrie and Durant. Now they fill that gap with one of the best players in NBA. We have a new super-team in NBA now guys.

I have no doubts that Durant and Harden will share ball and play good together. Nets looks very strong now after this trade. I'm patiently waiting their first games.

And the NBA future odds have changed because of that news.

Nets now are next to Lakers as the favorites to win the NBA championship.

I was wondering what were the betting odds of the nets before this actual trade? I mean it's like trading, the price is undervalued then we have a good news then the price pumped, I would say lucky are those who bought the nets when they are still not in the top 3 of the favorites.

Hey guys, just wonder'n if there's an existing app for mobile to keep me updated on NBA News and live Games?
I've been thinking and looking for this lately as I've been into mobile most of the time now...
Thanks in Advance! (posted here as this was related I think, and I also think it wasn't necessary to create a thread just for this)...

Edit:
As I've checked my laptop, I've been viewing this two sites for updates:
https://www.nba.com/news
https://www.cbssports.com/nba/
...
checked on playstore back then but it didn't have any legit apps...

That's a fair change. They become the favorite in Eastern Conference. It's very possible that we may see Lakers - Nets final.
Honestly I can't think of better finals for this season.

My Google Chrome automatically pops up and updates me with the upcoming and on going daily matches including scores, game period, and remaining minutes of the quarter whenever I turn on my mobile data.
Nba.com is also a reliable source, but some other internet sources are more quicker in terms of news than the official NBA website.

When would be his debut game with the Brooklyn? I'm sure he missed playing with his former mate on Oklahoma before and now they're back together, they really are stronger this time.

They've played today although haven't seen him, still they won the game against Knicks.

How to set this up? And the thing is I suddenly  stopped using chrome now, and had been using Microsoft Edge, but I think that will work the same I think...

Nets lost their mind on this because they are chasing a championship, they forget that those three players are gonna have a hard time adjusting, they are all want to have their ball in hand, that's sometimes the issue with star players they don't want to outlast because they need attention, if the two of them won't adjust and give in to one star player I'll bet this its gonna be the worse big three ever especially Irving want to be the guy same with durant.

We will know this after 5 games those three playings together as a starter. But with Kyrie Irving's absence, I think we won't see those three playings together anytime soon. But if James Harden will change his play after him being traded to Brooklyn, this team has some potential to be a top contender in the playoffs.

If I was the Nets, I would play heavy load management to ensure that they are hardly ever on the court together.  Set them 3 feet apart from each other.  That way it might work out.

Yeah but come playoff time you aren't going to sit Durant 20 minutes a game just so he isn't on the court with Harden or kyrie.  In season yeah they can load manage but then in the playoffs what?they should ease through most of the east anyway.  But this seems patchwork at best.  Only saving grace is Durant is so dam good.  He can make it work by himself

Thats exactly what I meant, load manage the hell out of this team in the regular season - play into Kyrie's and Harden's ego, they are gullible enough to fall for it.  That way you can at least make it to the playoffs with hopefully no major drama.  You just pray that they are so focused in the playoff that its too short of a time period to completely implode.  I think it will either work, or be another epic fail.

Same  works for me on what  Oasisman had been said when it comes to these kind of news on where Chrome does provide me the latest news and updates on things that
are happening on NBA. This isn't something for it to be set-up yet this will just pop out into that web page when you do open it, as sort of news tab or entry
just like when you do make use of Microsoft edge that do displays of news. How to set it up?  This might able to help https://support.google.com/googlenews/thread/1807380?hl=en

Hey guys, just wonder'n if there's an existing app for mobile to keep me updated on NBA News and live Games?

I just use Google as my live scoring application. It notifies me of the score without even opening the browser.
I think you will need to allow the notification setting.
NBA news, same. I use Twitter and follow NBA Analysts which are mostly working with ESPN for accuracy.
Same, it also notifies me without opening the app. 
Most of the time when I wake up, I got loads of notifications on my smartphone. 
I hope that helps.

Okay thanks, will try these things out first I do hope it will give the ones I need, thought I really prefer to have an app as I think it will be much easier without browsing the web.

I am happy for Harden for being traded finally. Because Rockets don't seem to gather themselves together. Harden has been complaining about it. I think Kyrie-KD-Harden trio will do awesome things together.

Its also just weird that even though most of the superteams are being formed because of this cuts other players are receiving in their salary but its also another good thing because it just shows that some players are willing to receive this cuts just to make their team better. I guess the debut would be once the trade clears up with most teams involve. Its a 4 team trade from the news that I have read and Oladipo is still being looked to be traded.

People are saying they should trade Kyrie for Westbrook and get the original OKC 3 back together. 

Nobody can say Harden is chasing money, that's for sure.  On top of passing up a contract extension that would have made him the first NBA player to make $50+ million per year, going to New Jersey is costing him something like $17 million dollars in additional taxes on his current contract...  He's leaving behind a boatload to get out of Houston.

Yeah, and probably Nets is his last stop to get that ring. Obviously, it was not meant to be for him in Houston, he have this chances with Chris Paul against GSW but they felt short and that was the closest he can get into the Finals.

So what better team to go than with the Nets with Durant-Kyrie, those individual records are nothing to him now. He needed that one thing that eluded him and that is a NBA ring, to be included in the next 50 greatest.

That's the expectation, they are now the favorites in the East and hopefully Harden's decision to play with the Nets is not a wrong. I thought Lebron can only build a super team, but here they are, they build a super team, I think this team is better than the Warriors big 3 with KD playing.

I'm excited to see the first game they will all play.

Why Lebron's name mentioned mate lol. No relation.

But about the recent big news, it's not with Harden's decision if it's wrong but if the Nets' decision is right. They gambled for Durant even not playing for 1 season because of injury but the result is good. They gambled for Irving too but now showing some tantrums. They now again gamble with Harden too and release their good players that averaging good stats in the bubble last year when these superstars are not playing.

And if I'm not mistaken about their contracts, Durant has a player option next season, same with Kyrie. It means it's not sure if they will stay on Nets next season. They need to be champion this season.

This is an intense pressure for the team if they're greed enough for championship, without even thinking the effect for their players. That doesn't solve or even help them to reach their specific target, what's important right now is to study briefly the weakness of their opponent. Everything will follow, and they should always bare in mind the sportsmanship which is a basic thing in basketball. Certainly, adjustments would take more days before everything will become satisfactory over them.
