2024 NBA Season

Jeremy Lin

This man can really bring the team to the playoffs at least but with the good team he can also play it to the finals because he ain't greedy he knows his position as well and for a role player like him, is hard to find nowadays glad that some team signed him again.

The man knows how to play but sometimes it depends to the coach on how long he should play inside the court.
I felt bad that he didn't get that much exposure last finals but still they became the champs. Wherever this guy will come, I'll still follow and get updates about him.

He is an Asian, when he has success we can also be happy for him, I really expect him to contribute well with the Raptors but he has limited minutes only.
IIRC, he has good minutes with the Nets but he was not so healthy that's why he got replace, I can think now that health and skills in basketball is really important so the team will value you.

That's the factors the management will see to determine your market value. With regards to Jeremy Lin i think injury is the one that is keeping him at bay while age is slowly betraying him. He got limited minutes or none at all during his stint with the Raptors because Lowry and Van Vleet are the priority in the rotation.

One more thing, his defense is not so appreciated by the management, Lowry and Van Vleet are both aggressive when it comes to defense and they both can shoot the ball well, who would expect that Van Vleet would be a big help for the Raptors in the Finals.

Tacko Fall has officially signed with the Celtics. Some have doubted how his body can cope up with the NBA and I don't know if he can hold up to the bigs in the east like Embid and Giannis but I can't wait for the Celtics-Sixers-Bucks. One of them will win the Eastern conference.

Don't know why others doubting this guy early. There are lots of room for improvements if ever he will have difficulty for his early seasons. And yes, as a big man, there will be a point that he will clash with the likes of Joel Embiid and Greek Freek but as long as he tries to improve his defense anytime, then much better. No need to literally expect him that he can able to stop those two always.

One thing that is cool with this guy is he is not that slow. He ain't like Boban which cannot do fast breaks. Tako can.
Also, he jumps. When I saw him play, announcers are trying to figure out if he is jumping and yes he is.

Agility wise, he is better. He may need some good shooting skills for him to be unstoppable at the perimeter. More like a Yao Ming type of player which will be difficult to reach once he stretched those arms of him.

I don't why he is not pick on the draft, he got skills though raw but he can improve.

Develop the patented Jabbar's skyhook and this kid would be great as this shot is impossible to block.

Now they got a good and tall center, they will just develop him to cope up with the bigs of NBA. If this can shoot on the perimeter and even threes, this young player can beat Embiid and other bigs. I know that this is not as fast as Giannis but I think he can dominate the paint because of his length. Jabbar v 2.0?? It will be very handy if he knows how to do it .

While it is undeniable that Tacko has skills and good moves for a guy his size, I won't criticize the teams for not drafting him. In a league where skills, athleticism and longevity matters, they have to pick the top players who meets that criteria. They don't want to get someone who might not last long.

I don't criticize NBA teams on why they did not pick him as they have scouts who's job is to fill what the team is lacking but the way Tacko perform in the summer league maybe they should take a closer look at him if Celtics did not sign him.

Just curious, do you see something in Tacko where he might not last long in the NBA? IMO, he can compete in the league, add a few more pounds and he's ready to bang bodies with any bigs out there.

Many giants have come before him and we don't even remember a lot of them because their careers don't last that long. They are prone to injuries. He looks agile now because youth is still in him and he hasn't played the number of games with a high level of competition yet.

I don't know him but did a research now, he is so tall at 7-7 but we don't know if he can run and his size would fit in the system of the Celtics, we know they run. If Boban Marjanovic at this height of 7-3 is very slow, I don't like to expect much of this one, but I but like to be wrong.

This is related to NBA so I think it's good to take everyone's point of view regarding this.

NBA dont work that way. They are like the government. They will do anything in their power to take down a human being.

Cousins is one of them and so is Rose.
If you cannot give them something worth seeing then you are useless.
Experience tells it all.

Watching those highlights from the summer league this young guy have the height and some basics it will be depends on how the coaching staff will develop him as a big threat inside with his height even his not that strong yet but chances to make a use of him will be a big challenge for the rest of the team.

Tacko can be a good market for Boston as he's being noticed by the fans and they are loving his additions, but everything can only be decided when the season already  started..

Ive seen this Tacko on summer league game https://www.nbcsports.com/boston/video/tacko-fall-making-splash-summer-league
I can say that this one is pretty capable but i don't really expect too much yet people this tall do really prone to injuries.

[jostorres]

When it comes to height there are other stuff that matters. Yao Ming had a wonderful career and he is an hall of fame player right now however he wasn't just tall, he had a great shot from midrange as well. If you are just only tall and you can't do much else than being tall than I am sorry but you are not gonna make it in the NBA that much.

I always thought he would be perfect in Euroleague, there are Tavares type of players who get minutes during bench time and when starters leave a center like Tacko Fall would make a lot of difference in euroleague. Celtics could do their best to keep him and play him but I see a european future in Tacko Fall. If he continues to improve himself and actually become a good player, than kudos to him but if he is just "tall" and nothing else than I am sorry but his NBA career will not live too long.

I don't know maybe it will be too much for Manny to own a NBA basketball them. He is already busy being a senator and as far as I know, most owners of NBA team are worth billions. So it will be too much of a stretch for him, just saying.

Yeah. 2 billion in USD and not in Philippine Peso.
I dont know if Manny have that kind of amount yet.
He did acquire some good profits with his last fights but he have a family and there are necessities to be paid. Taxes, food, mortgage and a lot more.
I do think he had some businesses and they may have been making money.
But think about it, Floyd loves basketball too but he aint doing those kind of investment.
There are a lot more to be bought out there and he also might want to focus on his share with crypto currencies.

May is not a billionaire, at least in dollars, I saw a youtube video about the richest boxer in sports, and Manny was only rank no. 3 with 200 million usd net worth. I don't know if that data is reliable but I could believe he is not that rich. He can own  PBA team but not an NBA team.

I agree but I think that is fair to call him rich.

Millions and millions of earning in boxing and also, as far as I know, there are some businesses where he invested his money in and he is a Senator too. I don't know how much earnings you look for so you can label them as rich but comparing that to 80 percent of his countrymen, including mine's salary, that is so high and will be labeled as rich as f***.
