2024 NBA Season

[Botnake]

Another win by the Jazz, once again Clarkson was still their best contributor on the offense side, he tallied 25 points playing 30 minutes... that was really efficient isn't it? After experiencing a long losing streak, they are bound for a new win streak now, and with this Clarkson is no doubt a great contender on the 6th man of the year.

Clarkson really found a home in Jazz, although it is still Donovan Mitchell's team, but you can see that the management is really giving him time in the court again. So he feels comfortable, and as you can see in the Rockets win, we can see the old Jordan Clarkson, just like when he was still in the Lakers uniform.

Let's see if Jazz can continue their winning streak. They almost blew their lead, however, it was really a test on them and they passed with flying colours.

I agree with that, he was good when he was still in Lakers uniform but he was even better in this game.
The Lakers that he played before there was Kobe which we know he always demand the ball, right here in Jazz, they share the ball together and what we are seeing is that his teammates are trusting him with the ball, even their star player Mitchell does.

I never looked at Jazz as a one man team. It had always been like that. This is just an upgrade since they are giving so much minutes even with the new entries of players. It's good. The players gain morale by doing so.

So they won against the Dallas team.
The heat of Clarkson is still there. When will he cool down? 
Bogdanovic also gained a lot of confidence from his winning shot making a 23 point game. Wow.

Don't expect that he'll cool down anytime soon because as long as Clarkson are given an opportunity to shoot, he will always do.
Actually if you look at his stats with the Cavaliers, he also had a good shooting attempt, the only problem is sometimes the play does not fit on his style so he is less accurate.

Yep, they are definitely not a one man team, and there is no real leader yet. Mitchell might be one day, but he is not that level yet. For example, in case of Gobert injury, this team goes down easily in first round of playoff.

So they won against the Dallas team.
The heat of Clarkson is still there. When will he cool down?  
Bogdanovic also gained a lot of confidence from his winning shot making a 23 point game. Wow.

Clarkson is  a great addition for Jazz as before him they had non-existent bench, but there is one big downside of him playing so good: I am not sure that Jazz will be able to resign him next season, he will cost a  lot if he continues playing like this. Well downside for Jazz, Not Clarkson of course  . This year he got 13.4 million USD, and his next contract might go over 20 million per year.

Regarding Bogdanovic, 23 pts for him against Dallas is not that special at all, this season he averages  approximately 21 pts per game, this is just business as usual for him.

If they really want to keep him they can keep him by giving him a good contract.

here's the current payroll https://www.basketball-reference.com/contracts/UTA.html (not sure if its updated).

based on the payroll we are seeing that Mitchell and Clarkson are still not getting max contract but they will soon as conley will be free agent in 2021.

Hope he will continue doing this type of game, its a good compliment if he will win the 6th man of the year. He's starting to make a new hypes for his name and continuing his career to prove his worth.
Back to back win for them and looking forward to continue a much better spot while the second round is approaching.

Thank you for that valuable information, I can remember that Conley was one of the biggest contract the during the year he sign it.

this news was published last July 1, 2016 so his contract will expire next year of the same month and I don't think jazz would still sign him with a max contract knowing he is prone to injury and his contribution to the team has lowered down, they'll give that to the young and improving players like Clarkson and Mitchell.

If Conley have save money from that big salary of him, he doesn't need to play anymore and just enjoy early retirement.
He is already 32 years old and he is not like other star players like Lebron that despite of the age they were able to maintain their good performance, his best times in NBA is with the team Memphis only and I witness how good they are beating good teams like Clippers, OKC, and even Spurs.

The golden days for him is over.  They were so good in Memphis with their starting line up,..Gasol, Randolph, and Tony Allen, the grit and grind team.



By thew way we have some good match up tomorrow in our timezone, we got the Sixers and the Clippers.

Which team would win here?

I am rooting for Clippers in this match up. There were rumors that the sixers are considering putting Joel Embiid in the market and I don't know how the man is handling it but that's probably going to affect his focus in the game. When you face a top team in Clippers, even the smallest distraction can cost you the game.

I haven't read about that rumor, if you could put an article or any source of information, I will highly appreciate that.
However that is just a rumor, so don't take it seriously, Embiid is a hot asset in any team, every team that needs a good center will try to acquire him.

You can find the link here https://www.google.com/amp/s/clutchpoints.com/sixers-rumors-rival-teams-starting-to-prepare-for-possibility-of-76ers-trading-joel-embiid/amp/ but It's just a rumor since if they trade embiid for sure their team will collapse interms of defense since Joel is a big contributor on defensive side on the court. And if they pursue this for sure many teams will get an interest to acquire him since it's a big win for a team if Embiid will be part of their rooster.

This is just a rumor, the management would not allow to trade Embiid when he has been doing great for the team.
I know they have big man who can replace him but Embiid is a special player, he can post up, shoot from the outside and a good rebounder as well.

Let us put more precise information like those which will likely to happen than this kind of rumor that we know it has a very slim chance of happening.

Either team could win in this game, the oddsmaker has so much respect on the Clippers since they are the favorite against the best home team in the East.
I'm thinking soon the odds will change in favor of the Clippers and they will be the favorites in this game, once that happens, I will finalize my bet and I will take the Sixers to win.

I think the article has pointed out one key argument, Joel and Ben might not be a perfect fit after all.

That's where this rumours have started, I guess as basketball fans, we can agree to disagree if those two are not a match. We have seen them together almost going to the finals last year, if not for Kawhi's miraculous three in the corner. Although they are in the 5th place, I think they can still go past the first round of the playoffs. Definitely, any teams that will acquire Joel will win, but the question is at what cost?

[Finestream]

They need to match the salary he is getting with the Sixers, if he is traded, sure it's gonna be for a number of players in exchange of him or another superstar. In 2017 he was given a max contract with the Sixers - https://www.nba.com/article/2017/10/09/joel-embiid-philadelphia-76ers-agree-extension-report

A person familiar with the situation tells The Associated Press that Embiid and the Sixers have agreed on a $148 million, five-year extension and it could increase even more if the 7-foot center reaches certain incentives.

HUGE SALARY!

Difficult to find a good center now and he is one of it.
If this rumor will come to a sad ending then many teams will be spending their money for him.

His contract is until 2023 for the 76ers.
https://www.spotrac.com/nba/philadelphia-76ers/joel-embiid-15355/
I don't think they will extend him at that much if they just want to release him in a short span of time.

Again those are just rumors and maybe some click bait for advertisement.

Raptors are on a 15 game streak now, considering they have lost Kawhi which is seen as one of the best players in the game right now and won 2 finals mvp with 2 different teams and managed to destroy the warriors dynasty (with the help of a lot of injuries), it is a marvelous achievement that they have managed to lose both Danny green and Kawhi and still managed to become second seein in east without ever getting any worse.

I would have assumed them to have a horrible year of just developing the young talents but players like Siakam and OG stepped up their games and become stars. I am giving my most improved player award to Siakam very easily. Both the east and west going to be so much awesome this year, I can't believe how many possibilities can happen this season.

Raptors are underrated now because people thought its Leonard that is the only reason why the Raptors won a championship, but they have proven they can still compete without him and that win streak is a big statement that they are also a threat, they are calling the teams to consider them now.
they will surely be in the playoffs this season, no doubt about that but it should be a big challenge for them as playoffs is different from regular season.
