2024 NBA Season

[Dekker3D]

We'll see if it's a good move or not depending if Durant leaves. If he leaves, the Thunder will have a hard time reaching the playoffs and that's assuming an MVP season effort from Westbrook. Ibaka's time on OKH was up I think, he provides good defense (to a certain degree) but that's it. Even Adams contributed more on offense.

I don't understand the trade from the Magic perspective really, I get they are trying to pair Ibaka and Vucevic together who could both complement each other (Ibaka more defensive minded). Both have a good perimeter offensive game too. But they are giving away a great young prospect in Oladipo and a promising rookie in Sabonis...just too much for Ibaka who is in total decline if you ask me.

I don't think Oladipo would be a good fit for the thunder, he is like being Reggie Jackson during the thunder that has not been fully utilize because most of the time, it is westbrook and durant who is always holding the ball, they never really trust that much other players hence it cannot maximize their capability.

If durant will leave the thunder then Oladipo would be useful, I think they know that durant will leave so they are making that kind of move to improve their offense.

They're taking the possibility that Durant leaves and at the same time possibly convince Durant to stay.

i think durant should leave okc and find another team just like garnet before he leave minnesota to win a title maybe durant should do it as well kd is a good player but with westbrook i think he will not be that much better westbrook always want to be the hero.

IMO Any team except the GSW for Durant. Westbrook only has 1 more year left playing for OKC, so an option would be to get a 1 year contract with OKC again and get Westbrook to another team with him.

So the hot trades as of now while trading is on progress are:

Knicks acquire Rose from Bulls in five-player deal

Magic acquire Ibaka from Thunder for Oladipo, others

Now wondering what will be the next move for those players who opted out.

I feel excited to see Derrick Rose at the New York Knicks, I think he will impress us again because this is his 2nd team and usually in that situation a star is gonna show with his new team. Forget about the injuries, I am still positive he will have a good season with the knicks.

Just hope that he can finish this season and entered the playoffs without a serious injury.

Let's take the story if D. Rose is healthy and transferred to New York. We know Carmelo Anthony as a clutch shooter same as D. Rose in Chicago Bulls. This will now test how this 2 superstars will handle the dead ball situation and who will make the clutch plays.

Rose is much better than carmelo in this situation, Im sure he is however as a player he cant really depends on the clutch plays all the time, he need to varies his strategy if he wants to take new york to win ring next season. He needs to carry the whole team if he could both him and carmelo although it could be hard to do so

both players only knew how to shoot the ball but not know how to play the game smartly, playing alone in one on one would not win the game they both needs to develop how to trust their teammates and play wise.

Exactly they need other player to support them and the reason for tacking rose could probably be a backup for carmelo. Incase of injury or something else, rose will be able to cover carmelo nicely and wont affect the team, I dont really like rose because he got injury most of the time but still he needs to be given some chance

In a team to have a good harmonious relationship which is the key for success, every player should stick to their role. In this situation, having rose in the line up is goo when and only he will show the intensity he has.

What I like about the news recently is the move of DROSE to the knicks. New york knicks is a good market so he can be popular their when we can show the old rose. I believe Anthony would love to play with a very good point guard, another big 3 to watch with porzingis.

i just hoping that this big three will combined good for new your i can see all of them is a good in terms of shooting ability but
in terms of being a team player and win the game i can't see them to blend the team, hope the coach can make them
a good plays and team works.

The big are both good in offense, porzingis can shoot threes and when he is aggressive he is good in getting offensive rebound. Under a new coach we can expect a good performance with the offense oriented coach of hornacek.

If porzingis will be consistent, they have a good chance to enter in the playoffs this coming season, I really thought last season that porzingis will be the rookie of the year but he failed to perform consistently and his team is not performing well. I hope this coming season he will reclaim the porzingis we know.

New york knicks will be a team to watch in the coming season, they have a good line up and will probably improve their offense. Carmelo should step up and we hope that they are all healthy in the entire season especially DROSE.

Well, Karl Anthony Towns is just on another level. He's a complete package, shooting (3pt), rebounding, blocks, post-up moves etc. I can see Porzingis as a possible Garnett while Karl Anthony Towns is someone that you can rely on even banging inside the pain.

No doubt D. Rose is more as a clutch player than Carmelo Anthony.

But the problem here is, D. Rose is new to the team. Carmelo won't allow that to happen so he will take the last play. Since Melo knows that he is much capable than Rose he will take the play.

Different story when James landed on Miami where Wade gives him the clutch plays most of the time. That is because Wade knows the capability of James.

Melo's shooting is a lot better than Rose so if it requires outside shooting I guess Melo should take it but if they want penetration then let Rose do the work.

Agree with that especially in Melo's average points in perimeter and in the rainbow are but we are talking about clutch plays here.

Since D. Rose always on the clutch in Bulls, it will goes the hard way since at the same time that was Melo's usual doing in Knicks.

Yeah well, it was his first year and he's very young from Europe, he adapted perfectly but fans have to give him some time, he is 20 years old and hasn't played any college or was exposed to the NBA or the american culture. Compared to Towns it was a no brainer to give the ROTY to him. I think it's a little too much to expect Porzingis to be an All Star this year but he definitely has the potential to do that in the near future.

Rose is a very hard working player, sometimes misunderstood, we can all agree he had a lot of bad luck in his career. I think if he can avoid injuries he will play great as he is in the last year of his contract. Carmelo should be in better form this year, the guy needs to lean and bulk up at the same time, too much baby fat. Asking him to focus a little more on defense is a waste of time I guess. NYK should be fun to watch from an outsider POV hehe.

In my point of view, porzingis did a good job last season, it was just he was limited in holding the ball because most of the time ball is in the hands of carmelo anthony, if you look of carmelo's shoot attempt per game you can really tell that there is not great movement of the ball, with rose on the line I expect them to move the ball well.
