2024 NBA Season

[Zooplus]

So Andrew Bogut was the sacrificial lamb of the Golden State Warriors to give way for Kevin Durant. Andrew Bogut will be playing for Dallas Mavericks. 

Speaking of Kevin Durants move to Golden State Warriors with a contract of $54.3 Million USD does that mean KD is now the highest paid in the team line up of Golden State Warriors? Stephs contract of 4 years is only $44 Million USD

I guess durant is the highest paid and he deserve that, but when curry's contract will expire he can surpass the pay of durant as he is the main man in the warriors and because of him the NBA increase their profits in terms of sales.

The new tv contract is so insane they are throwing around money.
Even garbage players are getting huge money. KD is actually cheap
right now in comparison to some of these scrubs that have signed

Of course they will because they know better on what they are doing than us, they are in the organization so they know real capability of a certain player, take it for example that Mike Conley is making history this year.

Aside from the Cavs, who do you think will be the teams battling for playoff spots next season in the Eastern Conference? I am looking at the younger teams to make a push at the post season. Teams like the Bucks and Celtics are loaded and could very well change the landscape in the East. The Cavs would still be the hands down East favorite, while anything from playoff spots No. 2 to No. 8 could be exciting and unpredictable.

Hawks and Celtics will surely make it to the playoffs as they have upgraded their roster this season, and don't forget the bulls where there is new big 3 in the person of wade, rondo, and butler.

i want to see new york or chicago i think seeing the player who went from the trade might be a good start from
them but competitively speaking cavs will still dominate sa east as lebro will continue arise he's majesty.

The Big Fact really here is Wade and Rondo's play cannot Lift up their teams game although they can contribute to win games but really those two are just been dominated by lebron or any strong opponent if they will face strong teams, BULLS line up needs perfect blend of teammates and that is missing in their team thats why they didnt win some rings eversince.

Yes agree that's why I don't see why others think of Chicago Bulls being a dominated one just because of Rajon Rondo. Rondo's aggressiveness has been gone for a long time now. He is just now playing in a light performance. Wade nothing changed, he just changed his uniform.

don't forget wade and rondo belongs with ring behind their names so don't under estimate their capability as the season will go we will see the improvement that will bring the bulls type of game.

You are right, regular season game and play off game is way more different, playoffs is where the strong team plays and only the team who has a championship experience will have a good chance over the team with no experience.

Why the Warriors 'need' Kevin Durant?

During their short time together, Kerr showed Durant clips of the Warriors' offense and described how he saw the forward fitting in. Durant in turn had questions, most notably;What happened in the Finals?
The last three games [against Cleveland] we stopped scoring at a high rate," Kerr said. "That's why I told him — we need you."

Well, durant is no question would fit the warriors as he is a guy who is good in offense and has improve his defense already, I also think that durant is very excited now with his new team as he will not make much effort just to enter in the playoffs.

oh well if the coach already see him inside the gameplay we never now what will happen next but durant to be honest is really a great addition for them, as he have all the threat from inside and outside he can deliver.

Theirs no doubt durant well contribute more to gsw institution since he is known the scoring champion in his era but durant is not a defensive guy and the one he replace is known very though defender like bugot and barnes, gsw might be lacking of defensive machines in next season and surely this thing will be adjust more by their coaching staff.

yes indeed but kerr already knew that maybe thats the first thing that they will ask for KD being a superstar he needs to have both scoring and defensive characteristics as kerr played side by side with mike maybe he can use him as example for kd.

Obviously Warriors fans are happy with Durant's decision. Who else do you think would be happy with Durant's decision? Once you understand the answer to that, then everything makes more sense in terms of how people are reacting to Durant's choice.

And the Warriors have the whole off season to get familiar with their prized acquisition, and it wouldn't take long before they maximize the skill set of Durant. With a few adjustments from other players regarding touches, I am sure there will be enough points to be scored for Steph, Klay, and K.D.

They will surely be unstoppable this season, big 3 in both offense is a big threat in the conference, they will play the usual way and durant can adopt easily as long as the team work is there.

And 4 positions are filled with superstars. I think it is the same game style that they would play offensively. Those four superstars are good at shooting. They can also play defense but not as good as their offense.

I feel bad for russell westbrook being left by KD. I do hope he would still continue to play.

Rajon Rondo and wade are officially a bulls superstars. Many unusual trades happened this season. I can't wait for the regular season. Damn

Who could not be happy for durants decision if they are GSW fan boys? durant is really great adition for GSW because he have the skills and moves with great teamplays executing thats why adjusting for the GSW set up plays is not really hard for him knowing he used to play run and gun game im OKC.

the really big question mark there is who received the ball more? Knowing durant used to get more balls and points in OKC and surely durant well getting a hard time to make those rotating ball game play by GSW,  and the more interesting about durants addition here is how can GSW execute on depensive ends knowing they have traded their main defensive machine guy bogut and barnes,

[gabmen]

it's not the main defensive green and igy still remain adding Durant their would also be a big threat in the defensive end green igy Durant clay and curry not bad even in a small line up.

Did you really understand my statement or just doing a quick post here?? Before you post please make sure you understand it clearly so that we can have a healthy discussion. Im not underestimating Rondo here nor Wade. Im just stating some wild analyzation with basis.

Come back here after the next seasons end then trashtalk me if Im wrong that Rondo will not play good in the Bulls.

Rondo is a known misfit, he just doesn't get along. Hopefully it all turns out well for the Bulls. KD is scared, he knows he's in his prime, he's scared that he might not get a ring in his career. Which IMO is something that's wrong with today's generation of players. They're scared to become a ringless hall of famer. Malone and Stockton are ringless, yet they're legends.
