2024 NBA Season

[OgNasty]

The Golden State Warriors have shown some interest in picking up Carmelo Anthony for next season. I’m not sure how well he would fit in, but I’m sure he could do some damage off the bench. I’m thinking it would probably be his last chance to win a championship, so it wouldn’t be a bad option for him. I’d wait to see if Kyrie gets traded to the Lakers and see if I could run that back before anything else though.

At last, he will have his first championship with the Warriors after how many years of being a main scorer of the Nuggets and the Knicks and yet he can't won a title. JK

Maybe his veteran experience might help these young and talented players of the Warriors and knowing how dominant he is when he is in his prime, he will teach all of these to these players. I think he already accepted being a bench so if this will happen, it will be a boost to the bench as well as the young players.

Whether Kevin Durant takes a pay cut or not, I just believe that he needs to leave the team. Because this team started to seem not promising to me. They had a huge difficulty in qualifying for even the playoffs. They still failed big time in many games when they had Durant and Irving both in the starting five. Nets had better make some changes in the team. Of course Durant's departure would weaken the team in terms of scoring especially but it is up to them to find an alternative. Durant can be more successful in a decent team.

Define decent team? The standard is the Warriors based on what you're saying since KD failed in the other two teams he has been into. OKC was decent in my opinion but he still decided to run and join the splash brothers to complete a splash family hehe. Nets was also decent and doing well until Kyrie was barred from playing during the height of the pandemic.

For example, there are Suns and Heat which are rumoured to trade Durant and add him to the starting five. These are one of the strongest teams in NBA now. I would like to see Durant in one of these teams to find out how much successful he will be. Yes, Nets were an okay team but something was still going wrong for them. Even KD and Irving both couldn't help the team become more successful. Durant sill has only two championships in his career and maybe he needs some change now to be a winner again.

Suns are out.  They don't have the draft capital and the one piece they could trade for Durant (at least for the time being) he is locked up.  By signing Ayton they can't trade him until months later, I think Jan and a full year to the Pacers who signed him to a sheet.  Without ayton and good amount of draft picks Suns are well out.  Which given theor team structure might actually be better for them in the long run.

[OgNasty]

^ I saw the Suns went all in and offered a ton of picks along with their best young guys. Without Ayton though, I would agree that the Suns are out. You never know though. Maybe nobody else will be able to put together a decent package. The Suns with their offer put everything they have on the table. Not sure how many other clubs will do that for Durant.

Pretty surprised to see he’s actually had a pretty decent shooting percentage the last couple of years. I honestly don’t know how his defense is these days (guessing not great) but he’d be a nice piece coming off the bench to score a few points for them. I wonder if iguodala will be back with the team next year, or perhaps Carmelo takes up that old x star player role off the bench instead.

~ Maybe nobody else will be able to put together a decent package.

It's probably their strategy to push other teams and see how far they would go for Durant. Since there are still 3 years remaining for his contract, I don't think they are in a hurry to let go of him. They can still drag this until the end of next season to get the best package.

GSW has enough veterans in their roster for these youngsters to learn from. Maybe it's Carmelo who needs to learn from the younger Wiggins/Poole on how to perform at the big stage

I was under the impression that Iguodala was going to retire. He seemed in pretty bad shape at the end of last season.

Another interesting development is that Dwight Howard is in talks to join the Nets. I personally think that Dwight, Kyrie, KD, & Ben Simmons would be a nightmare for opposing teams, but we’ll see what sort of roster the Nets have once the season actually begins.

He is UFA. But he joked around the Warriors owner about a bigger contract. 
https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/warriors/andre-iguodala-joe-lacob-joke-about-potential-warriors-return-next-season

Turner then jokingly stated that Iguodala wants "$28 million" to return to the Warriors, prompting to Lacob reply that he is not getting that. Although he did not answer the question, Iguodala didn't say he was retiring either, potentially adding more fuel to the rumor fire that Iguodala could return for one more season.

They will sign him with another minimum veteran contract, I am sure of that. It will be like a thank you gift.
About Melo though, this is good as long as he learns the play he will definitely find an open room to use his sharpshooting skills.
Warriors are known to give opportunity to unknown players and those who are trying to get back on their feet. Iggy is one, Gary Payton II, then there's McGee, and Otto Porter Jr.
Coach Kerr will surely make a good play just for him.

I think he's a good fit for the GSW coming off the bench. He could definitely do some damage as most of the guys in GSW can shoot everywhere and that gives him the advantage to find an open space where he can shoot uncontested.
I'd definitely love to see him win a championship before he retires. I know he'll have a better chance of winning a championship if joins the Warriors than the rest of his career from different teams.

Coming off the bench? yeah, I think it will be good, but him in the starting five, I doubt that he will fit on that rotation.

Maybe the Warriors thinks he can give 10-15 points solid in any given night. So let's see if the Warriors will give him another chance. Who knows, it could click and perhaps Carmelo Anthony will win his first ring before retiring.

But the thing with KD is, he bolted out from the Warriors because he wanted his own team, so he did go to the Nets and instrumental on bringing Kyrie as well. But we have seen how disastrous it is, and now he wanted to join another successful them. So again, he will be what others call a bus rider, because he join team that is already strong in the first place. And having him bolster their chances to win a championship like the Suns or Heat, but at what cost.

Nah, better for GSW to pick other players specially that will play defense on them. The only reason I'm thinking why they shown some interest on Anthony is the experience. The Warriors pick up a lot of rookies from this years draft and then they have Moody, Kuminga and Wiseman. Maybe they wanted Anthony to give those rookies and sophomores some tips and him showing how to stay long in the NBA.

He never cares. As long as he will get his paycheck and he will win another ring, nothing will change that.

KD is not minding what critics are saying, what matters on him is playing with a strong team and make his way to another title
and a possible another finals MVP, which is always possible as he was known as offensive players that makes good percentages
of converting it into a basket.

Not really bad if the GSW will pick him. Last season IIRC it was him that has been taken almost at the last minute since no team would like to have him but good thing he's saved. I guess I like him to be there because of the thought that he's gonna take the ring with him before his retirement.
Maybe all of us would agree with that matter and the rest, arguable about the whatnots of him being in the dub nation.

Carmelo is not as demanding as he was before, he already play the rule that is given to him and I'm pretty sure the Warriors will be able to utilize him because he is a superstar that ha past his prime and not only that, it will also give Melo an advantage because he might won his first championship with the Warriors.

Perhaps that what we all wanted to see for Carmelo, win that first ring. So much publicity goes when he join Lebron with the Lakers in hoping that somewhat him and Bron could be a good tandem and could take them as far as the finals, but that didn't happen. But with the Dubs it might be different for Carmelo, the Warriors has a lot of players that wanted to win back to back and maybe Carmelo can be somewhat a factor. So I like him to be pick up by the Warriors at least this season.

Great 2nd team I guess, Carmelo is now healthy, so despite his age, I'm sure he can still drop a decent number playing the system of the Warriors. They will be a fast face team, it could be new for Carmelo but hopefully he will be able to make the right adjustment to fit.

Maybe his role will be like in the Lakers, in their to shoot the 3 as we all know that they love to go outside with Curry, Klay and Poole. And maybe Melo from the bench will be their guy to make that shoot. Yes, last season Melo was healthy with the Lakers, so that is a good sign already. But still up to the Warriors coaching team, for sure Kerr will have a good plan if ever they will get Melo this season.

Most likely he will only be in the 2nd team because it's not possible that he will start, Warriors love to play fast pace and with Melo's age, I doubt he will be able to play heavier minutes. Warriors are good in developing players, so we can expect that they will make Melo a better version of him and that he will have the chance to play in the NBA Finals.

That's true. He has nothing to prove anymore and I think I heard some basketball analysts talking about "there something else". That's if he can really carry a team on his shoulders without great help from big stars like Steph Curry.
IMO, that's the problem, not all teams can welcome your type of gameplay. Warriors do. They can adjust or you are going to adjust to their play without even noticing it.
Proven by so many players that come and go in their team. Even at their Championship Parade, we saw Zaza and Shaun attending because they knew they are still part of their family.
