2024 NBA Season

[stonefree]

I agree with your statement. And not to make this about politics or anything, but he is not as hyped or targeted by big teams because he is european and not as flashy. He is one of the best passer in NBA at the moment.
UNFORTUNATELY the Timberwolves suck, simply as that.

I agree about Rubio. But the Timberwolves does not suck. It is proven when they defeated the Golden State Warriors even though they are still a raw team. I mean They are really a goo team with Coach Thibs in the sideline.

So what if they defeated GSW? When the Bulls had 72-10 season they lost to the Clippers and Heat (R.Chapman hitting 3724 threes that game)

When was the last time MT made the playoffs? exactly. proves my point

Any Timberwolves fan out there? I think the Wolves will have an awesome season ahead. A young talented core that can easily defeat any team with Coach Thibs on the sidelines. I hope that no injuries will happen to the starting players. Also with the addition of Rush, Hill, and Aldrich we will have a deep bench and a 3 pt shooter.

I wouldn't say I am Timbs fan but I do watch them as much as I can mostly because Rubio (maybe I am being subjective a bit haha)

They do have a very talented team and finally they have a good coach.

Rubio is fun to watch and all but. He must improves his shooting as any point guard needs not only to be a floor general and a good passer. But must be good at shooting too. I hope for the best of him next season

I think this is the last year for Ricky Rubio in the Timberwolves jersey. He's just getting older and older every year but He's not improving he's game to the next level. He will in a different jersey in the NBA or in Eupope.

I agree that. Even he was playing in barcelona he couldnt shot and in nba he can not shot good to. I think only having ability about passing organisation is not enough for a good guard. Also he has to make good shots.

Funny thing that he is a better 3P shooter than i.e. Rondo or T.Evans... but hey 3P percentage doesn't matter right?

So what if he is taking less shots than other guards. He is a different PG than other ones who are more scorers than organizers aka passers.

To be a good point guard you should be the one who are setting the tone of the game, you make the play in order for your team to see open shots and that does not need to shot all the time, your should as PG is just to make plan and pass the ball to open man.

[Ziskinberg]

Rubio is still young and he is a good point guard and good in defense due to his length that lacks in other point guard. Well, in order for us not to make a lot of argument here about his capability let us just watch him in the coming regular season.

The thing is scoring is what will make you a star in this league, and that's something Rubio has been lacking these past few seasons.

Well, I don't know with most of the people on why they cannot spot a good player, I think Rubio is a legitimate one and he can manage the team in the floor, honestly I do gamble in sports and one of the factor that I consider is a good PG as he will be the one directing the team.

[tebolbiano]

Marco Verratti says he remains committed to Paris Saint-Germain amid potential interest from Real Madrid.Real were reported to have lined Verratti up as a possible alternative to Paul Pogba.

For the eyes of the many you will be a popular if you are a good scorer but when it comes to real basketball every placer has its unique role and in order for a team to progress you should stick to your role throughout the game. Rubio is another good example of a point guard who manage to make good plays down the stretch, if he is not good then he should be out of the team already.

Look at mike conley, this guy is underrated by makes history because of the contract he recently signed with the memphis.

That guy is way overpriced IMO. They could have gotten a few younger players to add to their squad. Their core is getting older season by season.

Yeah his contact is a bit of a joke. But also it (contract) got impacted by increased salary cap as well.

Can't blame them because they know better than us, we are just watching him in the television but the organization of memphis know conley on and off the court.

hmm you could look at it that way...BUT contracts are deserved on the court, correct? i can easily name 10-15 or even 20 players who deserve a contract like that more than him
and nowadays because of all social media, tmz, etc. we (general public) also know if something bad happens off the court.

The media makes alot of hype for certain player and that makes them overrated although that they have only a decent performance. This is one way of getting popularity and get yourself a great contract otherwise you wont really get it just by playing great on the court everytime ( wait , you can be good on the court ALL the time though )

Bold - what are you talking about? somebody who is consistent and plays well or great will ALWAYS earned a good/decent contract no matter if he is popular off the court or not.
Duncan is your perfect example - there were never stories about Duncan off the court, he was probably the most boring person for the media to talk to, BUT he performed on the court and is the greatest PF ever!

Conley
- never been an All Star
- averaged of 15.3 points, 6.1 assists and 2.9 rebounds per game  (is that WORTH THE BIGGEST CONTRACT EVER?!)
- and he will never be able to carry the team in the playoffs. EVER! - meaning - Conley cannot beat you alone, simply cannot - i.e. Curry can, Lillard can

Conley were able to carry his team in the playoffs especially when the squad are healthy. I just hope that Conley will be more inspired to play this season and give his best to commensurate the organization of the amount he is currently earning.

History tells us that this is not the first time that players are being overpaid. It is not their problem if they get paid that much. They just have to play really hard and be able to positively impact their teams. We've seen before the likes of Rashard Lewis, Juwan Howard and others being overpaid because of too high expectations from them.

But todays are different story they have different team and different skillset brought up by them perfect example with that is durant look at his stats says hes scoring champ and can score 40+ points a game and thats why he deserved to get overpayed and thats the reason why they take durant and gamble those great boys in this league because they believe durant be a great addition and bring back the Championship in their house. Those past highly payed are overdue they dont have perfect teammates to fill the right position and dont have perfect chemistry thats why they are beaten but look at those in gsw now they will beat the teams and surpass our expectation i believe.

No question with durant because he is a legitimate star having a good lenght and speed in basketball. He even getting compared to lebron james and kobe bryant before curry became popular. He is definitely a good fit in the warriors as they are a strong team already.

Rubio had some nice potential coming into the league (I remember he was a flashy passer full of confidence). Sadly I don't see that anymore and I think injuries were the reason for this. His jump shot didn't really improve too so even if he's still young I think he didn't really developed in his last couple of years in the NBA. He could use a change of scenery...
