2025 NBA Season

[justspare]

The problem with this trade is that KP seems like he is not going to stay with Dallas for long.

If it was a trade that kept Porzingis on Dallas for a long time than there is no problem and Dallas got rid of Wesley Matthews for free and only sent Deandre Jordan and DSJ away, now Deandre Jordan is amazing and all that but he is old and he is not getting any younger so I would totally add him to the trade if I was Dallas, the only player that is good and still young they are sending is DSJ and honestly I would prefer KP any day of the week.

The only trouble Dallas has right now is the lack of depth, they have 2 great young players with Luka and Porzingis but basically no one else, if they can get couple more decent players they have a very bright future ahead of them, years of playoffs to say the least.

[harizen]

How about Smith Jr.? That is one kid with a hell of a future.

Honestly, I considered Smith Jr. as one of the possible franchise player of the Dallas Mavericks in the future because of the way he played last year and take note that he is just a rookie. Now in sophomore season and with the arrival of Luka Doncic, majority noticed that he is not the Smith Jr. before. Poor performance, not an aggressive like before etc. Luka now turned as the main gunner of the team and I believed Smith Jr. doesn't comfortable with it.

"Hey you are just a newcomer here. Don't act like a leader" - lol just joking. That was my interpretation on how he behaves now.

Their chemistry mixed up so badly even how many games they played together so I see that the trade package is good for the team.

Thank God they didnt trade Doncic or I will really kill Mark Cuban.  

Haha. I still remember how he destroyed their 2011 Championship Lineup. lol.

Although we cannot conclude that their chemistry will work out right away, but at least they tried and maybe mavericks has a chance for the coming playoffs.

Yes. No need to rush things. Besides, Porzingis is still not fit to play.

If no luck at this coming playoffs, they can set a full goal on reaching playoffs next season once KP fully recovers (I hope) (KP is under contract for 2019-20)

Not really a trouble. What they need is "role" players on which can be achieved even without engaging on trades. Yes some members of the current squad can turned into "role" players while they are advancing.

Remember the full role players lineup of 2011 squad? That's what Im looking forward to see on this team again.

[fakegurutu]

this trade between the new york knicks and dallas mavericks is a complete win-win situation to both of them, first dallas mavericks- they were able to bring kristap prozingis a superstar in the making, tim hardaway kinda young but a proven scorer off the bench, trey burke an iverson wanna be, courtney lee a veteran defender and NBA finalists.

on the other hand new york knicks clears a lot of caps space for the 2019-2020 nba season and this means they could sign a superstar to a max contract like klay thompson, kevin durant, kawhi leonard, anthony davis, kyrie irving and many to mentions.

Funny thing is they sat Luka Doncic during their last game and lost it to the pistons. They cant put all that pressure of being a leader on a rookie. This is just bad coaching and not right to their young star player. They should let him ease into the role naturally and not push it on him. This is good coaching.

Kyrie irving being traded is not going to happen. I am certain. He is their leader on the team and why would they trade their leader? Just for the hype? I dont think thats the case.
We just will need to see how he performs against the knicks tonight. And let his game speak for itself.

No, AD and Klay Thompson will be going to the Lakers, Knicks will not do good this season, they will continue to loss
and I think they have a chance to sign Kevin Durant but let's see if that will happen, for now, they just continue what they and just rebuild their team later.

There is a shoot gallery happening in Denver right now.
The rockets and nuggets are shooting out the lights and are tied 57-57 at the half way point of the second quarter.
I have never seen so many dunks and fast breaks in a game. Houston was shooting 70% and denver 68% meaning they were hardly missing their shot attempts.
If you have a chance you should try to watch it on youtube in its full glory or maybe they will repeat it on espn later on tonight.
It is the most explosive game thus far in the season and right before the all-star break.
I think this is what is getting these players psyched up and they are just going wild on the court with trying to out do each other.
Nuggets are even having some of their starting lineup not playing tonight so it is hard to say who will win this one tonight.
I bet on points which will definitely hit for me tonight.

~ snip ~

I guess not for long, the Rockets led in the 1st quarter but the Nuggets come back strong in the 2nd, and now they continue
their dominant performance, with a double digit lead.

Looks like it's another losing game for the Rockets, Jokic still the man in the this game, and I notice it's a high scoring game..

Nuggets could reach over 100 points in the 3rd quarter alone.

Yes they scored a ton this game and I had them for only over 222.5 with pretty good odds.
If anybody went for the full odds prelive of over 236.5 points total they would of cashed out a good amount on just this one selection on their betslip alone.
I also went for live bet of over 234.5 back in the 1st quarter and it was 2x.

Harden scored a final 3 pointer in the dying minute of the 4th to keep his streak alive of games with 30+ points and surpassed one of the 30 year old records by Chamberlain.

I didn't look on the record, I look more on how they will win and tonight they proved that they are not anymore a team to beat in the west.
Nuggets standing next to GSW but they are far from the warriors offense and defense

It's not in question if the Nuggets will reach in the playoffs because surely they will with what they are showing now, but are they
good enough to win the Finals?

Also, The rockets may have a chance if Capela will recover and will play the way he used to because coming back from injury is hard sometimes.

[mirakal]

They look good together, who do you think will become the main man in the team?

https://www.theringer.com/nba/2019/1/31/18206127/kristaps-porzingis-mavericks-trade-luka-doncic

Porzingis is a great player but he will not reach the level of Doncic. Doncic is still young and has shown that he can be a great player and an NBA all-star. Given that, he is going to be the main man on the team.

If Porzingis will be ever selected for the main player, it will be because Doncic will leave Mavericks.

Doncic should be the one, this rookie sensation got the charisma where fans will love him a lot, use to remember Jason Kidd and how he entice his
fans before, I would love to see this two European buds to play alongside each other and have a good chemistry to blend the whole entire Team.

Porzingris needs to play healthy if he's dreaming of something to achieved, never forget that this franchise was a champ back then and the spirit
will still remained inside their fans hearts, maybe porzingris can be the missing piece to make the team as whole again and be one of the competitive
team again inside the league.

[peter0425]

As a basketball fan, I was quite surprise to see KP gets traded as many see's him as the franchise players of Knicks. Anyways, I'm sure if will be fun to watch Doncic and Porzingris. We can only speculate that the two will hit it together to bring Dallas in contention once again. And I don't are who will be the leader, as long as they reach their goal to bring the championship again to Dallas, I'm ok with whatever amongst the two became franchise player.

Definitely Doncic. This team is his.
But it will be nice to have that technical, european touch in this team. The Mavericks could be building something solid right here.

[davinchi]

And now Cuban said that KP will not play this season because of his injury. I don't know what they are trying to do, normally KP was ready to return on Knicks before all of this happened which means after the all-star break he should be ready to play however for some reason they are keeping him out. With the team they currently have they are not going to tank now and get a good pick, the best they can hope for is a 10th pick or something which will not be enough to actually get bad again.

I think instead of tanking they should let them play and build a chemistry. However, if the deal is not like I assume and KP is still injured then they are really getting screwed here with getting just one year of KP for all those players, they need to really really hope KP resigns or it was a horrible move by them.

They could have been working their chemistry more before they will let them play live.

Okay, I am calm now. Sorry about that posts of me a yesterday killing Mark Cuban.
I love Porzingis. No doubt about that. I have been a fan of him since day 1.
The only problem for me is that Mavericks is trying to work out what roster they have and all of this happened instantly.

If you are a player then maybe you could understand. It is like an offensive act. The question that will go to your mind is WHY?
Let us just see what will happen next year. I doubt they can make a miracle in this year. It will be a whack.

No problem. We all get hot headed sometimes and say things we dont mean.
It was just said in the heat of the moment I am guessing. Maybe because of a bet not going your way.
It happens to me all the time. lol

Anyways about Porzingis.
They wont be able to see their chemistry this season as they reported he is still suffering from his injury he acquired while still with the knicks and wont be able to play with the mavericks this season.

If Porzingis will be ever selected for the main player, it will be because Doncic will leave Mavericks.

Luka is a franchise player. They will build a contender around him. He will definitely be on every all-star game in the next years. Porzingis is a great player, but will be the "second guy" on this team.

That depends on how their performance would be, well I just wish for both of them a  big success in their NBA career.
I can only say that both players are great and they have big potential, when they are fun to watch, that's what the fans love them, they have to stay and improve.

[Reid]

And I thought Lebron James is all ready for the game against the GSW and yet no LBJ in the floor.

It is a good game though. Curry have been off at the first half while Klay is on fire at 23 points already. Durant have the same neutral game and still looking for that spark.
It became so physical and Boogie have been talking and pushing anyone that comes near him. His dunk though made it clear whose the man on the inside.

The joke of Steve Kerr trading Curry made some changes. Curry made 10 points at 4th quarter and Iguodala also is hot. Great game for GSW. They need that win.

Still waiting for the reports on the Draymond Green injury.
