2024 NBA Season

[Sanitough]

The Wizards have signed Potter for 4 year making a $106.5 million max contract making him.the highest paid player next season at $24.8 million for the Wizards all i can say after this move is RIP Wizards honestly i have no idea why teams constantly are willing to pay guys who barely move the needle.

That's a big contract for Potter.

I don't know why there are teams that are paying big if they can get some rookies who are playing good.

Well we can't interfere with their decisions. It's their money.

There's big difference about Rookies and big contract old players. The rookies are under observeation if their performance will click with the season. Because other rookies were beast in their collegiate league but suffering in adoptation in the world of NBA. If the team wants to win the season they have to pay with it. Its their passion every players continuing improve themselves as their dream to bwcime a star.

Look on how much Derrick Rose' contract supposed to be in Cavs.. only $3.5 M if I'm not mistaken.

But well this is how the NBA management gives contract to the rookies, it's bigger than the older ones.

Because they are more powerful and has still strength to play better.

Because Derick Rose is not the same anymore. Post injury shows that he's explosiveness is somewhat not the same and plus he is injury prone. Last season he didn't complete the full 83 games if I'm not mistaken and miss a lot of (crucial?)games. If he is the same Rose that we knew when he once burst into the NBA, then he will surely get max contract and still with the Bulls. If he can proved after 1 season with Cavs then surely they will re-sign him with bigger contract.

yeah I don't think it's arguable that Rose was the vastly better player when healthy. Wall is more consistent and a better playmaker, but Rose was literally a one man show from the "point guard" position. I hate how people discount how good Rose really was - if he and Noah remained relatively healthy the Bulls probably have a Finals appearance or two in the past half decade the Wizards also have signed John Wall a a four year deal for a $170 million extension to be honest it's a massive overpay for a player can't shoot.

That was your opinion but I think wall is one of the best player now, he is a clutch player and he can make plays in order to win.
His shooting might not be good as curry or harden but he is improving and for now that's what matters.

So Kyrie Irving preferred Spurs as his destination. It's clearly that his reason wasn't to become a face of the franchise nor mvp title. I guess he want's more ring and maybe he thinks that he can't get it anymore at Cavs or maybe he wants a teammate that isn't acting like he is the boss.

[L00n3y]

I feel for Derrick Rose right now. There are not a lot of teams interested in signing him, especially for another huge contract, as we all know that most teams have already hit the salary caps and only very few with some money left to spend on smaller contracts. Gone are the days when he would command a big money contract, even from endorsements. He might have to settle for a small contract and maybe work his way up and prove that he still deserves big money even after his injuries.

Before the injury he was sensational but injuries after injuries slowly kill his carrier, I miss the old DRose but it seems like it's hard for him to bring that back again. He is not the same as his old self but he can still play and that is important, slowly if he can recover I think he can make another big contract and he still young so I believe he can still grow if he will really do his best. Paul George was once suffered a serious injury but he made his way back and prove to everyone that he can still play, now he paired up with Westbrook, I think he will make a name in Thunder as well.

Sad truth but this applies not only to Derick rose but also on other players. Remember the number one pick Greg oden? Who gave up his knee and became a bench player. Paul George is lucky because his legs are alive and kicking. Of course Derick rose is one of the best in his days. One of the fastest in the league and really great leaping ability but his body can't catch up to his talent.

I don't know if the new rooster of the new nba season is a good one but superteams are being created these days and I think when a team has some money to offer, they can get a very good player and legacy is the least important these days. Everybody in the league is chasing rings but the legacy is missing.

Oppss. I've heard that Kyrie Irving is being traded.

that's right i think kyrie doesn't want to have someone who will control him inside lebron act like a boss and he and irving can't connect anymore
but sure thing if irving will move to san antonio it will be a big addition to this franchise they will be a good contender now from the west side.

Irving and Lebron haven't a dynamic duo just like Kobe and Shaq. Irving is one of the best 1 on 1 player and it's big problem if Kyrie will be traded. Cavs should find a fit player that is good passer and scorer that replaced Kyrie's position that can team up with Lebron and Love. I think Rose doesn't fit to Cavs either Melo and if Kyrie will traded, San Antonio should keep their veteran players.

I think it will be a good move for kyrie to go to spurs so he will be develop according to his rule, coach Pop are known as one of the
best coach in the NBA and the Spurs played like a team which is more easier compared to relying on players who played one on one.

So Kyrie Irving is tired of being a sidekick to Lebron James and wants to shine without a superstar? Or become a main man?

Remember Cleveland Cavaliers without Lebron James? Kyrie Irving from 2011-2014 can't even bring his team into playoffs. He must used that time to shine rather than just to plan it for today. And if we look today and in the past season with Lebron James, Kevin Love and the rest of the Cavaliers squad, can they played well without Lebron on the floor? Can Kyrie lift them up? Cavaliers are having a worst record this past season if James is out. Kyrie, don't think it's an easy task to carry a team on your own.

Yes, that's what I'm saying all along. He doesn't want to be the sidekick to Bron but did he proved anything when Lebron is not with Cleveland? No. Well you can argue that he matured and Cavs has a better player compared to what he have before. Perhaps there are some kind of beef between the two that push Kyrie to leave. Again, I think Cavs will still be good without Kyrie, and Lebron will have his best next season statistical wise.

So Kyrie Irving is tired of being a sidekick to Lebron James and wants to shine without a superstar? Or become a main man?

Probably he is and now wants to make his break and while it is still early let's see if he can shine alone with his new chosen team. I think he wanted to become a main man and that's why he is making sure that he will get out first with his former team. And also I'm thinking that he lost his faith that Cavs can hit championship.

I think he is disappointed with the result of the NBA finals. Remember they climbed back from 1-3 deficit and won. GSW must be very disappointed with the results but they remain intact and added a another piece, which is Durant. However, on the contrary Kyrie left and look for a new team. Well San Antonio is not a push over, but in ever they face GSW in the semis next season, he will still see the ghost of GSW again. So think the reason for leaving is:

1. He doesn't want to be just a sidekick to Lebron
2. He doesn't trust that the Cavs can win the championship again with the current team
3. He has beef with Lebron that pushes him to go out and look for other team

He got the the championship already once in his life and he made a good contribution to win that title although majority of the people believe that it was lebron alone who it possible. Well, if he can really decide to join other team then that would be better as he tries to explore what more he can do, also he is still young and it's just right to look for better salary like  a salary of a real star.

If I were in his shoe I will feel disappointed too. He's one of the biggest hope for the whole Cavaliers and that's why he thinks that Cavs will feel sorry about it. Rumors are saying and articles on social media says that Spurs is going to be the choice of his heart. This season is giving me some excitement and I can't wait to see this start.

I don't know why people looking forward for irving ,he won't win another ring in cleveland. They won it because Lebron won it. When cavs lose, his teammates garbage and he has no help and LeBron did to Cleveland then more then what he did in Miamu he mad that after irving requesting a trade he will have it harder to leave cavs next season when they won't have irving if traded. Not that he cares but then he would have a better excuse of cavs having won a ring and still having an all star caliber player in irving. Irving knows lebron would bolt any moment and will be stuck in Cleveland with Jr smith and Thomson.

As far as I remember, When Kyrie was alone in Cleveland Cavaliers as a superstar the Cleveland Cavalier was in last spot in the East. Kyrie can't carry his team unlike Russell Westbrook, John Wall that at least they can always make playoffs even they're alone. IMO

But Uncle Drew did play a huge part in that Championship. Lebron is not the only one to be praised in winning the NBA Finals of 2016. All of them did contribute to that win. Also, as far as I'm concern Kyrie didn't have any star along with him. Russ and Wall have stars in their team by that time, Russ still have KD and Wall, have beal. Not a hater of Lebron, But Lebron needed Wade and Bosh to win a championship. That's a fact, and Kyrie and Lebron do have similarity. Which is they can't bring a team alone.

But the point is there should be at least a main main for a team. And that is Lebron James with the Cavs. Its a team sports and no one can with a trophy without a good supporting cast. If Kyrie Irving can't agree with that, then I guess its time for him to leave and shop around a team that needed his skills. But if he goes to San Antonio, he will still not the main man there but Kawhi Leonard. But for me, Kyrie can't carry a team on his own although he is a great scorer, there are so many intangibles and angles that you can to factor in to have a good championship team.

Free agent big man Marreese Speights is signing a deal with the Orlando Magic, according to David Pick. Speights averaged 8.7 points and 4.5 rebounds per game last season with the Clippers. Terms of the deal are still unclear. 

Speights is a big addition to Magic roaster. He can shot along the rainbow area and a good defender too. He has good perfomance wearing Warrior and Clippers jersey. Maybe a good team up current star player Kevin Payton and former Spurs guard Simmons. Hopefully they can get a playoff spot again this season.

With or without Kyrie Irving, LeBron James will not waive his no-trade clause this season.

The Orlando Magic improved their front court rotation when they agreed to terms with big man Marreesse Speights. And yeah he has a good hands in 3 for a big man. Speights was largely a role player for the Clippers in 2016-17. But I think he can contribute more in the Orlando Magic as the team needed another big man.
