2024 NBA Season

[freedomgo]

When he went to the Lakers with their run on the bubble, Howard wasn't a problem in and out of the court for the Lakers. Sure he still have that antics, nevertheless he has proven himself to be effective playing the center with Anthony Davis.

Same when he moved to Sixers, no issues whatsoever with him and Joel Embiid. So not sure what you mean by attitude because it seems that he has matured already and knows where to have that "good attitude" inserted. And he didn't destroy the good chemistry in Sixers, it's that he was not a perfect fit, that's the way I look at it and that's why they have given him up and Lakers pick him up again to play last season. But right now, no teams are interested on his service.

The preseason is in full swing, and I think it's too early to say that no team is interested in Howard. I won't comment on his negative impact on team chemistry, but it seems to me he could still be useful on the court as a bench player. In addition, signing Howard wouldn't be a costly deal for the management of any team as he would most likely agree to even the minimum salary.

Yeah Howard will get onto a team he can still provide minutes.  These guys have all made theor money most at the end of theor career take the vet minimum so they can jump on a ta that has a chance to play deep into the playoffs.  Just hope the Knicks steer clear.

I think the last rumor I heard was Howard was wanted by the Nets and I think he'll be included in the trade package with Westbrook to get Kyrie Irving playing beside LBJ. If that will be the case, Howard's presence will be much needed in the Nets because they have almost no power in the center, Howard also proved that he is still valuable if he's given enough minutes every play.

Frankly, Vogel almost forgot about Howard's greatness when they won the last championship because after that year, we can only see Howard playing for a max 10 mins.

We are not sure though about the playing time. In Brooklyn Nets, he averages 25MPG even playing alongside Durant and Irving and the team is complete at any role and position. He even points out that he was suddenly put by the Nets on 30 minutes of playing time on his first game with the team after being inactive playing for 4 months.

No wonder the Nets gave him so many minutes on the court as they just needed someone who could replace Irving during his absence. However, it seems to me Dragic's playing time isn't the kind of thing to look at because he only played 16 games for the Nets. Honestly, I'm more than sure if Dragic had played for the Nets since the start of the season and Irving hadn't missed games, then Dragic's average playing time would have been way less than 25 minutes.

I too hope that we see Howard playing a role on a contender again.  I doubt he's going to be back to the Lakers though.  I don't see the Nets signing him just to trade him either.  The recent reports seem to suggest that the Lakers are going to trade Westbrook for Jordan Clarkson & Pat Beverly, with Donovan Mitchell going to the Knicks.  I think Jordan Clarkson is a good player but I'm not sure if he's a starter on the Lakers.  Maybe...  Pat Beverly seems like he's about done in the league too, but this shows how desperate the Lakers are to get out from under Westbrook's contract.

At this point I don't see how Mitchell goes to the Knicks.  Ainge wants both grimes as a center piece and the Knicks unprotected picks both of which the Knicks don't want to give up.  Heard they would let go of obi but they don't want to part with grimes.  With Mitchell and jalen brunson that would be one hell of a small backcourt too.  Think at this point Knicks would be better off without mitch and ride what they got.

There is a reason why the Warriors will not give Draymond Green that 4-year max contract he wants because next summer the Warriors management will face the same situation and have to make another difficult decision where the contracts of Poole, Wiggins, and Thompson will be needed to have an extension. The team honestly cannot afford to give max contracts to all of their main line-up and there will be a day that they needed to vacate their older players, but yes, that's up to Bob Myers as he knew what to do in these kind of situations.

Yes, they will likely give him a max contract for this season just like Stephen Curry, and this is really a hard decision for the Warriors next season, they would need to pick who's gonna go and who's going to stay, and it is likely that they will still give Curry the amount he deserves, and for me, Draymond Green defensive plays were really crucial for the Warriors they needed his IQ on the defense and Draymond Green can surely make deep Threes aswell and can make offense in any position, that is how well-rounded he is, so they surely need Draymond Green now, but they surely will having trouble with the other warriors when their potential was unleashed, they can not make them stay for so long on the team,

But keeping Draymond Green means that they will have to choose between Poole and Wiggins who is also a vital asset to the team, especially since they are still young enough and they will be the 2nd generation of the team now. Klay Thompson is not in the choices for sure because the Warriors needed to keep the Splash Brothers. Green is indeed needed to the team because he is a part of the Warriors big three but they cannot keep up if even if they choose to keep the whole roster, that's why they also freed GP2 and Looney.

Dragic is the type of player that will bring in wise moves to any team. He is not there to score points or rebounds or assists etc etc, he is there to bring in his mind. Consider him like Rondo, he is not great like he used to be, but he is smart and he will one day be an amazing coach as well if he decides to be one, he has a vision that can be only rivaled by Lebron and that is why I think it is great for Bulls to get Dragic since he would not only be a player, but he would be a general that will dissect the other teams plays and tell his teammates where to be and how to defend and so forth. This matters because it allows the team to score a lot easier on the second unit.

Yeah, Utah will have to give up Clarkson, Bev and another one, Bojan Bogdanovic OR Malik Beasley and draft picks from Lakers and the Knicks. But not sure though if the Lakers will have a championship team that can match against the Warriors.

Maybe Clarkson will not come off the bench, and be their starting five and then JTA will be their sixth man. But I do agree that if Lakers is willing to do this, they are in desperate move to get rid of Westbrook.

True, but their main point guard will still be Ball, if he can play and remain healthy. Or who knows, maybe they can play both at the same time? That could be a great treat for us. Nevertheless, as others have said, Dragic is a team player and that makes him still a good catch for a team that needed someone to bring wise move, just like what Rondo is still at this point of their career. The overall presence and game changing decision.

[YuginKadoya]

Discipline and hard work are the factors that will make him successful in this league. He needs to adjust and adopt all the challenges

that will come to his career. I see your point with lots of back-to-back games and the physicality of his body still young and with his dedication to

improve will harvest the success of his career, just hoping that he will not suffer to any major injuries while he's adopting the types of game

inside NBA.

For me, he really needs to put little muscles maybe a Stephen Curry Physique, but in time who knows, when his maturity hits and if he trains even harder, I think those muscles will come out naturally, and his biggest asset really was his height but it is not really a burden to him because he also got speed, he sure is fast for a tall guy, and because of that advantage he can even easily effective on defense and maybe he will eventually gain those muscles when he enters the NBA, and yeah doesn't sustain major injuries because it could be a bummer,

But keeping Draymond Green means that they will have to choose between Poole and Wiggins who is also a vital asset to the team, especially since they are still young enough and they will be the 2nd generation of the team now. Klay Thompson is not in the choices for sure because the Warriors needed to keep the Splash Brothers. Green is indeed needed to the team because he is a part of the Warriors big three but they cannot keep up if even if they choose to keep the whole roster, that's why they also freed GP2 and Looney.

The Golden State Warriors can not really sign in everyone's a max contract because most players on the Warriors and getting their potential unlocked and having a great time with their performance, last season, I think this is because of their rotational usage of players, each of them will surely play or Steve Kerr is using those reserve players, and they eventually get experience in playing as Warriors and because of this they are now getting problems with their luxury tax, but I guess it will all just going to let them decides when the 2023 season ends and see if what may happen next, but I think they will surely pay Draymond Green fairly, if not with Max Contract because Green is already in his 32 years old and it is a really tough choice for the Warriors,

[LogitechMouse]

Dragic is now officially with the Chicago Bulls. And with young Lonzo Ball and Coby White, that's a team that would probably not give Dragic enough playing time. Dragic will become a mentor in Chicago although they might need him on the floor during playoffs.

We are not sure though about the playing time. In Brooklyn Nets, he averages 25MPG even playing alongside Durant and Irving and the team is complete at any role and position. He even points out that he was suddenly put by the Nets on 30 minutes of playing time on his first game with the team after being inactive playing for 4 months.

Maybe Chicago Bulls will have the same approach about Dragic's playing time. He is still considered one of the good veteran role players out there.

Related story, Dragic has a good point during his Brookly Nets tenure. He said that the Brooklyn Nets are more focused on individual performance, main only on Durant and Irving, and not as a team. We can now conclude that most plays prioritized by the Nets last season are only designed for Irving and Durant. That will limit their role players' teammates to do their very best.

Correct me but that isn't the definition of a team. Prioritizing on isolation plays and not on team strategy? Now we are seeing why they didn't even got a win against the Celtics last season and they got defeated by the Bucks 2 seasons ago. I don't know what's the problem with them. Is it the players? Is it their coach who technically is inexperienced or the management but overall, I don't like their style that they are more focused on individual performance rather than helping as a team. Just look at the Warriors. They have 4 titles all because of their chemistry and how they play as a team.

Now with regards to Dragic, I believe that he will still be given near 20 MPG there and at the same time, he will help those young players to develop even further. They are the team that surprised me at the start of the season last year because of how good they are as a team and they even reached the top spot IIRC but because of injuries, they slowly fell down in the standings. I hope that they will not get injured this upcoming season (though it's inevitable) and their new players will help the team in their own way.

I too hope that we see Howard playing a role on a contender again.  I doubt he's going to be back to the Lakers though.  I don't see the Nets signing him just to trade him either.  The recent reports seem to suggest that the Lakers are going to trade Westbrook for Jordan Clarkson & Pat Beverly, with Donovan Mitchell going to the Knicks.  I think Jordan Clarkson is a good player but I'm not sure if he's a starter on the Lakers.  Maybe...  Pat Beverly seems like he's about done in the league too, but this shows how desperate the Lakers are to get out from under Westbrook's contract.

Here is the detailed possible trade.

The proposed three-team trade scenario included Westbrook going to Utah and getting bought out. Utah would send Donovan Mitchell to the Knicks, a combination of two players, including Patrick Beverley and Jordan Clarkson, Bojan Bogdanovic or Malik Beasley to the Lakers, and the Jazz would receive significant draft pick compensation from the Knicks and Lakers. The Knicks also would’ve had to part with veteran salary filler(s), such as Derrick Rose to help make the salaries work.

The Lakers also have had interest in trading for Knicks forward Cam Reddish, who could also become part of a trade. Last season, the Lakers nearly acquired Reddish as part of a blockbuster three-team trade talks between the Lakers, Knicks and Raptors at the time.

"Significant Draft pick compensation"
This is going to hurt them in the future while Jazz is on the move to rebuilding.
What could Danny Ainge be thinking? Sacrificing the queen and knights for a checkmate? Could the aim be a small ball roster as recent top contenders and even the champion are mostly playing fast type?
I guess they are done with centers being their focus as they only have 1 left in their roster and that's Azubuike.

Bulls will now have a veteran and a good point guard, an experience Dragic will definitely help the team. Their roster IMO is already a championship team, if they were only healthy last season, they have a chance to advance, so hopefully in the coming season, as their chemistry gets stronger, being healthy will definitely help them to be a championship team.

Based on the stats, he only has an average of 7.3 PPG last season, not good since he was averaging double digits in his previous teams like Miami and Phoenix.

I might disagree with your idea that the Chicago Bulls roster is already can consider a championship team.

They have a good run last season, surprising everyone with their good chemistry right at the start of the season but began to show inconsistency during the last phase of the season. I am positive about this young team but believe me, even if they stay healthy last season, their chance to advance to Finals is really slim. They will soon get their own recognition but not at that time.

Not just to stay healthy but the Bulls need to build a second squad that can consistently assist their main core, especially in the event of continuous injuries. They are already composed of good role players and what they need to do is to add some more.

There are lots of precious role players that are just there waiting to be utilized properly by a team.

DeRozan is having his best season with the Chicago Bulls, he will continue next season, with the experience they had last season, they will be more mature and maybe they are not a championship team but who knows a surprise might happen. Remember when the Raptors won a championship, they are not a championship team but they beat the Warriors.

But the Raptors has Kawhi that time, and we have Warriors players getting injured. So I would say that Raptors is a caliber already, but not be by definition, a championship team, but still with Kawhi and Lowry and Siakam they are not to be overlook.

But I agree that DeRozan has found a home in the Bulls, early in the season, they lead the East with DeRozan hitting back to back winners if my memory serves me right. But then again, they suffered injuries, causing them to go down in rankings and then losing in the first round.

Despite having Leonard, they are still not the favorite to win the championship.

Here are the odds that time.

I agree. They look good during regular season, but they fall off during playoffs. Considering they have low winning percentage against top team, they still have lots of building to do to be considered a championship team. They are on the right track though. Maybe a year or two and a few key players will do the trick. Let's watch out how they will fare this season.

DeRozan is having his best season with the Chicago Bulls, he will continue next season, with the experience they had last season, they will be more mature and maybe they are not a championship team but who knows a surprise might happen. Remember when the Raptors won a championship, they are not a championship team but they beat the Warriors.

The raptors got lucky. They had a lucky shot against the sixers on their game seven and they play against injury-riddled Warriors in the finals. They have persistent and their teams are veterans with Kawhi leading the team. You cannot say that to the Bulls team.

Too much happened on that series against the Warriors. Steph Curry knew it when Klay went down, there is no way they will be able to win anymore.

DeRozan and the Bulls. Well, they started great last season and was even brought to the hype as a championship team. They have the talent, the defense, and a ball handler that was getting better as he progress.
Lack of experience is only what I see as an obstruction but they have DeRozan and LaVine and then injuries.
What they would need are players that can back them up whenever those circumstances happen again. I was amazed by DeRozan though, he played 76 games and this might be the prime of his career. The Bulls should take advantage of that and bring more roleplayers.

Adding Dragic is like adding more role players, he will not be a starter but he will be a good leader on the 2nd unit. Their defense are really evident and I also witnessed how they struggle after the injuries of their players, of course, they will be back this season with a more experience and probably a stronger team.

DeRozan and the Bulls. Well, they started great last season and was even brought to the hype as a championship team. They have the talent, the defense, and a ball handler that was getting better as he progress.
Lack of experience is only what I see as an obstruction but they have DeRozan and LaVine and then injuries.
What they would need are players that can back them up whenever those circumstances happen again. I was amazed by DeRozan though, he played 76 games and this might be the prime of his career. The Bulls should take advantage of that and bring more roleplayers.

I think they have the experience, but the injuries though, it really derail everything from them, DeRozan, Ball, Lavine and even Caruso get injured last season. At least they were able to salvage their season, goes into the playoff but eventually lost. And this is a good lessons drawn for them. So now they have added a experience player in Dragic, I wouldn't be surprised if this time, they are going to be in the top 4. And Lavine and DeRozan could be the best duo. I find one article saying that they are in the top 5 last season. Although some in the list is questionable and now out dated.
