2024 NBA Season

[Ranly123]

This is just a random thing but I recently saw an interview with Vince Carter and Dirk Nowitzki.  They are the two oldest players right now in the NBA and the only players left from the 90s.  Vince is three years older than kobe!  I can see Lebron easily playing till he is 40 years old.  He will still probably average 20 ppg just like Michael Jordan did at that age.

So what's the point? Even at 45 Jordan can still play but because he has all the money he need, it would be better to rest. We know LeBron's work ethics is incredible, but it does not assure him the future on how far he can go in playing basketball.

Jimmy Butler actually took the last shot in Sixers game.

Now, I know this is just early games and there will be a lot of different situations and different styles but when a whole team accepts Butler this way and takes him in and gives him the ball for the last shot, I think it shows how much they like the trade and how much they like Butler on their team.

Unless players are upset over him taking the last shot that shows that team already integrated him into their family. That could change very quickly if Butler Fueds with Embiid or something but I hope they don't do that. With this roster they look like the best team to get to finals and I really hope there is a great east conference fight going on between Celtics and Raptors and Sixers because it has been years since there was a decent team in the east. It was always Lebron and Lebron and Lebron for the past 10 years, it was enough.

Only if they were going to blend well. They can match Raptors and Celtics and has a chance to go to the Finals. Well, we can see it in the following games. Chemistry, trust, brotherhood will build as time goes by. If not, that's a messed and they should work on it if they want to beat those two and reach the Finals.

I wouldn't say I'm surprised that Jimmy took the last shot. Philly needed a veteran player who can be clutch and close games out.

If yall remember last years East conf semis against the Celtics, Philly lost 3 close games because there was nobody on their roster who could be consistent and score in crunch time. I'm sure Jimmy is going to help tremendously in that regard.

There is not much choice with that play. Redick is being defended well and that happens all the time. There should be someone to step up.
Simmons cannot shoot it and Embiid only have a little percentage to take the shot. The best choice was Butler.

It is a good game although they lose. It just happens. Next time they need a better chemistry. We can still see Butler having problems on positioning and that is why Simmons cannot find him when penetrating the middle.

It will take time but I am sure they will come up with something.

Lakers wom against Miami. Dragic still not playing, no playmaker for the Heat.

Lakers won again and Lebron went off for 51 points. I have read somewhere on reddit someone said Lebanon literally controls his own stat line. He is capable of scoring 50+ whenever he wants and feels like team needs it. The trouble is he is not averaging decent assist numbers because people keep missing.

For example, Lonzo Ball played with 0 points last game and 2 points this game. That is not even remotely acceptable from a point guard. I understand he is just new and getting the hang of this and second year slump and all that but honestly he is more net negative than Carmelo Anthony at this point. I think they should reconsider putting Rondo at the starter and give Lonzo some playing time from the bench so he can face against other teams bench unit first and get better that way before he starts playing against starter level players.

Rajon Rondo is out that's why Lonzo Ball takes the starting point guard for the meantime. Don't know Luke's plan for him but extracting the "inside stuffs" of Lonzo should be seriously consider. He is now obviously behind to his fellow youngsters Hart, Kuzma and Ingram in terms of performance. Lonzo should erased the thinking of others that he is "overrated".

No doubt, LeBron did some good passes not just on their recent game but on their previous games as well but unfortunately his teammates keeps missing. He can literally make a triple double in every game even without forcing it.

Anyways I read some hate words about that 51 points by LeBron...

a) LeBron is a ball hogger
b) The defense is not that tight
c) LeBron is just lucky but still choking at clutch plays

Hate at it's finest instead of moving on lol.

I don't know what's going on, his last 2 games are worst for a point guard. I wouldn't say that he is still new, the knows the games perhaps it was the defense of the opposing team or something is wrong with his shooting hands. Lol. James needed to step up that's why he poured 51 points and his outside shooting is on the target, including his 3's.

So what's the point? Even at 45 Jordan can still play but because he has all the money he need, it would be better to rest.

Basketball players at age 40 will tend to slow down and they can't match up the speed and elevation of young players that is why they opt to retire and money does not have a thing in it. It is just that they are old and need to retire.

We know LeBron's work ethics is incredible, but it does not assure him the future on how far he can go in playing basketball.

Judging from LBJ's current physical status i think he can go 40 at the maximum but those players have pride and don't want to be laughed at during those times of their career where young players will beat them easily.

Okay, that GSW second team really made me WOW.
Times when Durant and Thomson are on bench the 2nd team could take the lead and match up with Dallas players.
But when the 2 gets back the team gets whack. Looks like the bench team have more chemistry now than their stars. Well that happened since they are having some problems with each other. Looks like being a champion is eating them.

Dallas though, they have been really good lately and I do think they just need more good plays to get some good shots since there are quite a lot of sharp shooters in their roster.

I will watch out the Dallas, they are surprising right now and their Chemistry is getting better.
Yes, GSW starters will be change in the future because of the painful words coming from Draymond, Durant will prove himself than he can be champion
without the stars and it will not bring pressure to him because he already has rings with the Warriors.

He is still young and can make more achievements, and this bad chemistry will be a big hindrance of the warriors Championship goal this season.

With a bad start, the Washington Wizards decided to trade their backcourt duos Beal and Wall and other players in the roster to trade.

http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/25320702/washington-wizards-john-wall-bradley-beal-available-trade-scenarios

Some rumors I see on social media is Beal will be traded to Lakers. Beal, Oubre and one more will be exchange for Ingram, Hart, KCP and Rondo. This is just a rumors. I also saw trade talks for Wall to be traded either Suns or Lakers too. Any opinions regarding this?

Golden state warriors has lost all their 3 games in Texas without curry. Now, I am not saying Texas teams are great because rockets had a rocky start and spurs have been known to deal with injury for the past 2 years and Dallas has been really bad since their last championship but this is golden state warriors, they should be able to win all those 3 games.

I think curry may not be the best player in that team, I still think Kevin Durant is the best player in that team however when Curry plays the team generally plays a lot differently and have a lot better offensive flow which causes everyone else to be much better.

All players on that team becomes much better when defense focuses on Curry. When they do not have Curry it is not any better than OKC with Brodie and Durant. Curry makes the worlds difference.

I was mislead at the statement lol. I thought the trade already happened. Judging the way the statement was construct on that news, it seems that Wizards management are not fully decided but only a possibility. If the deal is right, well then, they should considered it. No way they can get their desired key player without involving Wall and Beal on the trades if they want to happened it now.


Warriors are now on 3rd consecutive losing streak. And their next remaining games this week is kind of a tough. Even without that drama happened between KD and Green, the remaining core players of Warriors are really struggling without Steph Curry on the floor.

Your right, there should be a go to guy for the team in which in the dying seconds of the game has the guts to take the shot. There should be someone for the team to carry during clutch time and buttler is a fit for that spot for the Phillies.

Please don't let him play with the Lakers, Lebron is the main man and this young guys is following his orders very well.
Although Lebron is only a player but he is respected very well by coaches, he run the offense of the team and if he like his teammates, that's when
he gives his best. The recent games of Lebron is already showing good signs that he is becoming his old self which is an offensive player.

I agree, he has nothing to offer to the Lakers though, and it looks like Lakers are slowly getting into the rhythm and adding Carmelo would put in on question mark again. They need defensive players, and we all know that Carmelo doesn't like to play defense. Lol. GSW? Nah. Maybe he can play at Miami with DWade.

Don't put Anthony to the Lakers. The Lakers doesn't need him and his skills. They need better player than him. Warriors? Nahh. They are not interested I think and they don't need him.

I think the best choice in order for him to show his capabilities at this moment is at Nets or at Jazz.

At any instance, I did not even follow this guy for once. He is a pain in the ass.

Let him go to wherever team he want. Besides he is not much used anymore unlike Lebron. They are almost at the same age and yet there is a big difference with them.
Lebron might have a lot of haters but that means he is being seen. While on the other Anthony is like an invicible man now. Not much cares anymore into where he will go. His explosion in the game had left him already. He may get an early retirement if he aint going to focus in his game.
Maybe going to a weaker roster will make him shine.
