2024 NBA Season

[agustina2]

Well, I thought that Kevin Durant will be leaving the Brooklyn Nets anymore, and so the rumors are true, and with this maybe Kyrie Irving will be the one left on the Nets, It is crazy how Kevin Durant isn't satisfied on every team he is on, and right now he doesn't want to settle again with the Brooklyn Nets, but for me, if there is no further announcement this will still remain a rumor to me, 2016 was his last years on the Oklahoma Thunders, while 2019 was the last years on the Golden State Warriors while in the Brooklyn Nets it could be 2022, but still, we just need to calm down for a moment there is no given announce that he will really be traded to the other teams,

Kevin Durant can't leave as he is under contract. If the Nets will decide to keep him, no choice for Durant but to play for the team.

There are offered by other teams but the Nets want a big return in exchange for Durant as they gamble for him.

Even Durant requested a trade, it will be hard for the Nets to just released him without a bunch of good players.

I don't know what will be the closest thing that might happen so let's wait instead.

Wiseman looking good for the Warriors in summer league. He’s blocking shots, catching alley oops and creating and draining his own 3’s. He’s looking like he may fill a need for the Warriors next year if he can stay healthy. Scary that they won it all without their best prospect. They might be an even better team next year.

And they still have Kuminga and Moody, bright prospect as they have the experience from last year's champion ship run. And then Wiseman being healthy, and their steal drafts with so much potential, young team plus their core, yeah, could be a more dangerous GSW team and the league should take notice of this. And even though they have lost so much of their second unit specially Payton Jr, someone will have to fill it up with this young guys at their 20's, and it's scary.

There are still rumours about Lakers to trade Kyrie Irving with Russell Westbrook now. This rumours are making me really excited already.

Man, rumors are so exhausting. Just get it done. Kyrie trade for Westbrook in Lakers has been in the news for only God knows how long. Get it done please. In my opinion the Nets and Lakers are in bad situations and this could be a win/win for both. Westbrook is not as bad people now portray him, he was just a terrible fit in LA. He's still exciting, brings fans in and recently helped the Wizards get into the playoffs with not much else other than Beal. The Nets can't do any worse than getting swept in the 1st round, have Simmons and will get pieces for KD. Make the trade deal happen.

We've seen how the Warriors management develop their players and if these 3 will develop more in the future and will be an all-star then we will see a next generation "Big three" of the Warriors.

Wiseman has potential but his injuries hinders him to unleash his full potential on the court. I just hope that he will be more healthy next season so he can contribute to the team. Kuminga is an athletic player and many believe that he has a bright future with the Warriors and it's the same with Moody. Overall, the future of the Warriors is bright and we might include Poole and Wiggins in the conversation if they will not be traded.

They won't be traded if the Warriors area already satisfied with the current roster, maybe there will be some trade that's going to happen but I'm pretty sure it does not involve moving a lot of players or we can say that it's manageable by the organization and that they'll be able to keep the most important players particularly the big 3.

[Yamifoud]

<<<snip>>> and that they'll be able to keep the most important players particularly the big 3.

As long as they are playing with great chemistry, there should be no problem with keeping the big 3.

Curry, Thompson, and Green, are the foundation of the Warriors, they keep their bond together and together they won many games and championships. No need to add Durant or any star that would make the Warriors sacrifice the key players, they have to keep the core of the team while developing the younger ones.

Just finished watching this documentary for Steph Curry titled "Silenced" by Trice High.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZuWSiWQLN0
If you are a Curry fan this will touch your heart and will feel the enormous weight that was lifted in Steph Curry's shoulder after being bashed and criticized about how he won't be back to the championship and how he cannot bring a team to the top.
The title was spot on. That's the correct word to define it all. Inspiring for NBA players that are aiming for the same goal.

Yeah, I stop reading about the KD and Irving drama, too many teams are into the picture. Might be better to wait officially if KD will be traded this year or stay with the Nets until a viable team is willing to let go of their superstars in exchange of him.

Good to see a lot of former Warriors getting a good salary, it's like they hit the jackpot playing with the Warriors and winning the title. Now they are getting like at least x3 of their last salary with the Warriors if I'm not mistaken, just like in the Gary Payton contract with Portland

Yup! but I really think this may happen if Kevin Durant is not happy with the Brooklyn Nets anymore, then I think the Nets would have to give up on him, but if the Brooklyn Nets would want a good trade for Kevin Durant bigger money and good players, and yes the Brooklyn Nets will surely want a couple of players on a team, maybe 3 players or another all-star player on that team, pretty much that will be the condition for a Kevin Durant trade but if the team that gets KD would have an existing All-star player I don't think it will go out all well for KD and that All-star player to get a long, but yeah we just need to wait instead,

Wow! that is great news and he's playing in the summer league to catch up and he smokes the Spurs with 11 pts with a pair of blocks that is something to look for when he fully returns to the regular season, and I am so excited for the Warriors young blood Jonathan Kuminga team up with Wiseman was very significant against the Spurs, with Moses Moody for the team and I don't know what to say this might be another season for the Warriors,

And they still have Kuminga and Moody, bright prospect as they have the experience from last year's champion ship run. And then Wiseman being healthy, and their steal drafts with so much potential, young team plus their core, yeah, could be a more dangerous GSW team and the league should take notice of this. And even though they have lost so much of their second unit specially Payton Jr, someone will have to fill it up with this young guys at their 20's, and it's scary.

 Well, all those Rookies will eventually get better until the regular season starts and we all know the Golden State Warriors have a tendency to polish diamonds so that draft picks that the Warriors have got will eventually get them off use, Patrick Baldwin Jr. the 28 picks, Ryan Rollins the 44th picks, and Gui Santos the 55th picks, I think this young blood will surely emit great value in the future, so I am so excited for the next season,

Thanks for the link, I will watch it later though.

But if you see Curry's emotional outburst after game 6, you will feel that something has been lifted in his shoulder winning the NBA this season when there have been a lot of chatters and noise behind team. He is not that vocal though, it as Green but they have walk the talk and so they silence all their critics with this huge win. For sure they will have to find another one just to bash or harsh critic them at the start of the new season, specially if they started on a bad note because the supporting cast has all gone now.

Curry is a great player, he will be a Hall of Famer as he continues to get better. I saw him complain when he loses in some games, instead, it only makes him stronger to make his team better. Warriors will never forget him, he will continue to make this team a championship team and I like to see Curry retire with the Warriors as he continues to make history.

I will also watch that documentary later, thanks.

He is ready. https://www.nba.com/news/james-wiseman-warriors-return-summer-league-impact

An alley-oop dunk. A blocked shot. A 3-point field goal. All in the first 69 seconds of James Wiseman’s long-awaited, much-anticipated return to NBA competition.

He wants to be back in that spotlight where the Warriors fans will cheer for him. He should not settle just because they are champions, the hunger for another should be kept alive and I bet the Warriors team is looking forward to his contributions when the season starts.
I am just imagining right now how good it will look to have Looney well-rested and so do Draymond Green. In that Finals game we saw how exhausted they are just keeping the paint protected and for the number of switches that happened including the unforgettable Looney-Tatum matchup after a switch. Looney's footwork was so good he could stay in front of him.

I wouldn't be surprised with that, in fact, I can't remember that the Warriors have a dominant big man in the past that they succeeded to win a championship, so if Wiseman will be healthy and he will be able to contribute for the team, I think he will be the best big man on the Warriors.

No need to add Durant or any star that would make the Warriors sacrifice the key players, they have to keep the core of the team while developing the younger ones.

One thing I admire about the GSW is that they like to build their own franchise player instead of buying superstars. Jordan Poole is a gem they found in this championship run along with Andrew Wiggins. I hope they're not trading Jonathan Kuminga, he's going to be their next key player.
Sad to see Juan Toscano-Anderson ang Gary Payton Jr. went to another team. It got me thinking they're chasing for KD. Not sure though.

They wanted to stay but then they are after a better salary and Warriors can't or maybe not willing to fork it out for them. Although it's sad to see them part way with Warriors. If I were the management, i'll also do the same just to take Looney back. As well as Poole and Wiggins after their contract end. Just to free some budget.

Kevin Durant can't leave as he is under contract. If the Nets will decide to keep him, no choice for Durant but to play for the team.

There are offered by other teams but the Nets want a big return in exchange for Durant as they gamble for him.

Even Durant requested a trade, it will be hard for the Nets to just released him without a bunch of good players.

I don't know what will be the closest thing that might happen so let's wait instead.

I think Durant is mentally no longer with the team. So even if he stays for one more season, the Nets won't be able to achieve any impressive results. At the same time, I understand the Nets management in this situation and their desire to get a star player instead of Durant. Their goal right now is to keep at least some of the team's potential as they've already invested a lot of money and effort to form this hopeless big trio.

It turns out they are just hype, I just can't imagine that people believe that the Nets will win a championship last season but ended up eliminated in the 1st round. It the fault of the Nets management, they relied too much on the "star players" that already aging and they just dispose their young potential stars.

[livingfree]

They don't see him worthy to be like how he was treated before, he's more prone to injuries and that's why where it's been seen and declined by most of the teams where the Nets offered him.

I don't know if the thing I've read about Golden State Warriors is for real that they're the ones who are interested in taking back Durant and they're gonna give away Poole and Wiggins. As I've said, I don't know if that article I've seen is real or just another meme.

Well, a lot of players that are on age 30 plus are really prone to injuries, so they need to put extra care on them, well we can not blame players that get injuries because they really don't want something like that to happen, so if their going to get a injury prone Kevin Durant they better be ready for the injuries,

Well, it seems that we are reading a different article, I have seen an article of Teams that are illegible to get Durant if traded, and not really want, in an article that I have seen they don't need Kevin Durant anymore, pretty much they got no used for him,

Yes.

I guess that they're on it and aware of that possibility and they know how to pull it off. They won't be liking the trade if there's no benefit on them but as once part of it before.

He knows the rotation and he's got the idea how they play so it's not that much to adjust but we'll still see if the team will really take him.

[inthelongrun]

The Golden State Warriors seem silent for the past few days. Heavy secret meetings and deals going on? So far the Warriors lost important players like Payton II and Porter Jr. but were quick to take on a championship experienced player, Donte DiVincenzo. The Warriors also managed to re-sign Looney. Last season the Warriors spent more than $300 million and nearly half of it came from luxury tax. This coming season, the Warriors will bleed more monetarily after some increase in yearly contracts. Does it mean they will not pursue Andrew Wiggins anymore?

GSW owner Joe Lacob was at The TK Show talking about his team. So the Warriors are still making a huge amount of money enough to sustain their super expensive roster? So the Warriors will probably extend Wiggins' contract then? Then maybe trade him if they aren't performing well before the trade deadline.

If this becomes a trend where super expensive luxury taxes are still accepted and paid by these richer cities and teams then probably another NBA rule will be made in the near future. There will be a huge disparity, especially for teams in smaller cities.
