This may not be of interest besides the name but Scottie Pippen Jr. has been waived by the Lakers. He wasn't able to make most of the opportunity given to him and I think the preseason game against the Bucks had a big role in the management's decision since he played quite poorly.
That's just the way it is, if you don't have something to put on the table, you are out because everyone has their own contribution to the team, and since the Lakers is a championship team, their standards are high. Therefore, he should really work hard because his competitors are not gonna miss some chance to prove their worth and they have been practicing a lot so when they are given a chance to showcase their talent, they execute it well and impress their team. The caliber of players of the Lakers right now is top-notch, that's why even if you are in the roster, like Pippen Jr, he has to work hard to earn that spot in the team. Unfortunately as competition is very tough, he was given the opportunity, but wasn't able to exploit it that's why it was a hard decision for the Lakers to let him go. For sure they were high hopes since he is the son of a legend, but we all know that they are not the same. Hopefully he learn something from his Lakers stint so that he can improved and motivate himself. I don’t know… I’m not all that sold on the Lakers roster. Pippen Jr just isn’t good enough to be in the NBA. The Lakers gave him and Shaq’s son a try out of respect but neither of them were ever going to get real minutes on the floor. It’s things like this that make a franchise popular with players though. Loyalty is always big.

Herro had an hand injury if I am not mistaken, it was broken finger or something like that, can't remember what he broke but it was a broken something in his hand. That is going to be a tough one, I am sure that he is doing alright but it may not be always that great, when you break a bone, even cold weather could make it hurt, even after getting better, it is not gong to be the same.
Yup, he's got it. Everyone knows his potential and would love to see him grow together with the Heat. But we don't know when an injury gets him badly but hopefully there won't be that much of it. I even think that if he's there during the finals against Nuggets, there can be some bit of upgrade from the performance while him is inside playing with Jimmy. But that's it and it's done and looking forward for the opening of this season. We're just about to see the ending of this preseason within the next days, immaright?

Without lebron amd/or AD out there the team is rudderless. That's the story with a lot of the teams that are built like this with star vets. Can they stay on the court will decide how theor season will go. NBA is just too harsh to bet on that so I'm still thinking Lakers are a playin type team. Maybe squeeze in the 5 or 6 hole but there are definitely better teams than them in the west.

Maybe squeeze in the 5 or 6 hole but there are definitely better teams than them in the west. They are the main star of the team so expect that heavy minutes are for them and if they get injured expect that Lakers will get heavily affected since their design plays are for there stars. For sure there's a lot of adjustment will happen on their absence so they need to stay healthy so they can survive the heavily stack Western conference this season. To many teams are more stronger than Lakers remember that Nuggets core still intact and Suns have good addition in presence Beal which is a high scoring player. West will be more exciting again and we can't predict on which team will win the championship for next season.

I watched a little bit of the NBA basketball preseason in between watching the Monday Night Football game last night. I can't believe that we are already at the pre-season mark for the NBA as well as the NHL having already starting.
I can't wait to see how the Chicago Bulls do coming out of the gate. No Ball is still quite depressing and I hope he starts to make progress but I feel he may be done for good.
I just wait until the regular season to come as well as the in-season tournament and what might be excited to watch would be on West C and East B, (I've been doing some bets already even it's only the preseason). For West C we have that two 7 footers Victor and Chet and they are fun to watch even in their preseason match just recently, flexing how they dominate the court. For East B, I think it would be excited to watch Bucks and Heat. I wish he will recover, what a waste of a young rising star if he'll be gone for good tbh. The Bulls lost against the Nuggets, and the difference was pretty noticeable. Of course, I also should mention that this was a preseason game. So probably we should not think much about it. The next preseason match for them is against the Raptors, n it is ongoing now. to be honest, I am not very much excited about these preseason matches. I will actually give my time to watch some games after the season starts.

They do not really have a proper defensive player. I am not saying get JJJ for that team, which they can't that would be way too much, but they really needed some defensive players here and there so that those players would cover some ground. I still do not completely understand why they wanted to get rid of CP3, he would have fit that team like glove, he would be their point guard and would feed everyone and would be great defensively for them too.

Thanks for this very useful information. I'm not sure how I could have continued my life without it. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Seriously, stop spamming. Who even needs posts like this? We all want to get paid for posting, but I am sick of reading bs like your post here. This has 0 merit and is straight up spam. And thanks for "mentioning" it's the preseason, who would have thought, smh. In real news, the Rockets traded Kevin Porter Jr. and two second-round picks for Victor Oladipo and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl from the Thunder. And OKC immediately waived Porter Jr right after. He is dooooone. Sad to see how people that have everything can throw it way so easy. ![Cry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cry.gif)

And OKC immediately waived Porter Jr right after. He is dooooone. Sad to see how people that have everything can throw it way so easy. ![Cry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cry.gif) Being waived isn't the same as being banned from the NBA. This is almost the same situation as Miles Bridges. Domestic violence, got banned for a year, and now he's coming banned (though not at the start of the regular season). For KPJ's case, he just got traded, then waived, but isn't banned in the league, so basically other teams can still get him... or not knowing that the league isn't tolerating this kind of violence against women. I don't think that he will come back at least this season. Next season maybe? Well, the GM of the Rockets said though that he's already banned "FROM THE ROCKETS" only. Nevertheless, he's one of the players by the Rockets that's developing, but one mistake changed everything. It's sad to see yes, but I think it's the correct decision, or the reputation of the league will be affected negatively.

He is dooooone. Sad to see how people that have everything can throw it way so easy. ![Cry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cry.gif) Acquiring Victor Oladipo doesn't seem like the right move to me. Oladipo's not the same player he used to be; he's been battling injuries and didn't make as much money as he could have after turning down that max deal from the Pacers, if I remember correctly. Now, as for Kevin Porter Jr., he might be out for the season, but looking at his stats with 19.2 points per game, which was an improvement from the last season, I don't see why no team would want him. Don't forget, he's still young at 22 years old, so we can definitely expect more from him in the future.

Watched the Suns game, between Durant and Beal and obviously Booker, they have a very good offensive team but I am feeling like they are going to have a huge problem come playoff time with their defense. They do not really have a proper defensive player. I am not saying get JJJ for that team, which they can't that would be way too much, but they really needed some defensive players here and there so that those players would cover some ground. I still do not completely understand why they wanted to get rid of CP3, he would have fit that team like glove, he would be their point guard and would feed everyone and would be great defensively for them too.
I guess they're gonna be fine man. I watched them play against the Blazers and yeah they have got a really good offensive fire power. Obviously because they have KD, DBook, and Beal these guys are a lethal scorers. Another thing that I've noticed is that they have a good supporting cast that could cover them in the defensive end. Azabuke is a good defender under the rim and of course Jordan Goodwin who had 3 steals in under 4 mins against the Blazers, not to mention he is actually good both offensively and defensively. Honestly, after I watched that game I'm starting to think again that the Suns may have secured their ticket in the Finals. But then again, that's just a regular season let's see what they'll bring come the regular season.

You also can’t sleep on Kevin Durant. While he may be one of the best offensive players to ever shoot the ball, he’s also no slouch on the defensive end. When he was on the Golden State Warriors he was an absolute menace defensively.

Honestly, after I watched that game I'm starting to think again that the Suns may have secured their ticket in the Finals. But then again, that's just a regular season let's see what they'll bring come the regular season. That’s why they got rid of Ayton. To bring some got and toughness to their defensive squad. You also can’t sleep on Kevin Durant. While he may be one of the best offensive players to ever shoot the ball, he’s also no slouch on the defensive end. When he was on the Golden State Warriors he was an absolute menace defensively. I think it's one criticism against Kevin Durant, but when he was with the Warrior, he try to improved his defensive skills, got some chase down blocks and really didn't sleep on defense as compare to the likes of let's say James Harden. Even against one of the great defender in Pat Bev, they have some scuffle and Durant is not going to back down. Yes, those 3 are lethal scorers and it remind us of his Warriors day with Klay, him and Steph. But we will see in the regular games, they still need to play tough defense it they wanted to win. And what kind of adjustments they will have if let's say one of their offensive weapon got in early foul trouble and how the opposing team will take advantage of them since there's no Ayton to man in the middle.

I still do not completely understand why they wanted to get rid of CP3, he would have fit that team like glove, he would be their point guard and would feed everyone and would be great defensively for them too.
The team might have let go of Chris Paul because he was expensive, getting older, and could get hurt (Just like many other when getting old except Lebron James). They might have also wanted a different kind of point guard for their playing style. Bradley Beal is the best example. Considering also another team might have offered something really good in a trade. Plus, how well CP3 got along with his teammates could be a reason too. Having KD and Booker from last season is too much.

Having KD and Booker from last season is too much. I think it's more of his age, and in his last season with the Suns, he was injured and so the team had a hard time in the playoffs even though they already have Durant that time. Chris though has put in some impressive numbers with the Suns, going all the way to the finals. But they lack the experience back then that's why they didn't win. And in the next season, they set a record for the franchise if I'm not mistaken for the number of win in a regular season. But still they fell short again in the second round. And then last year it was a disaster for him as he got injured. And then they have to let go of their coach as well. So maybe the new management wanted a fresh start and so they have to let go of CP3.

just wait until the regular season to come as well as the in-season tournament and what might be excited to watch would be on West C and East B, (I've been doing some bets already even it's only the preseason). For West C we have that two 7 footers Victor and Chet and they are fun to watch even in their preseason match just recently, flexing how they dominate the court. For East B, I think it would be excited to watch Bucks and Heat. I wish he will recover, what a waste of a young rising star if he'll be gone for good tbh. Chet and Victor would not be such a big factor for their respective teams' performance this season I would say, perhaps, more so for OKC than San Antonio Spurs because OKC already have such an incredible squad with SGA, Josh Giddey, and Jalen William, the latter, who seemed to have improved a lot during this pre season and he's been a such very good choice defensively too, so despite the addition of Chet being a complement to squad and bringing about a better dynamism to the roster, a lot of the teams' play would still have to go through SGA and Giddey. As for Victor I really don't have a perfect picture of how the season would turnout for him, but then I think the hype and the expectation might be too much for him for his first season in the NBA.

Lillard is still struggling in the preseason. In the game against OKC, they lost by 23 points, even after winning two big games earlier. He's shooting 2-11 and only managed to score 5 points in 24 minutes of play. I don't know anymore; it really feels like the system is taking a toll on his stats. His three-point shooting has been really off, with no makes out of 5 attempts.
The Bucks need to sort this out early since the regular season hasn't even kicked off. Hopefully, they'll find a way to get the old Lillard back and make some major adjustments if needed. After all, they brought Lillard in for a reason, and if they can't maximize his potential, I'm worried they might end up with the same fate as last season in the playoffs, or maybe even worse.

Things have taken a sudden turn for Lillard. This guy could drop 50 points in a game with his incredible 3 point shooting, but it looks like he's still struggling. Despite getting decent minutes, he hasn't been able to make the right adjustments to make his team look more exciting. If his struggles persist, and his performance doesn't improve, Giannis might have to carry the team on his shoulders, which is no small feat, considering he's done it in the past. But I doubt it will come to that point, because Lillard is a born competitor. He won't allow himself to play at a lower level, which is the exact opposite of what he did back in Portland.

Adjusting to the new team may take some time for Lillard but definitely the Bucks is one the teams to beat with Lillard's addition to the team. Lillard and Giannis' pick and roll play will be deadly once that machine start rolling with two shooting guards waiting in the wings for the kick-out pass as every now and then someone is going to be open for that open rainbow shot. The only cons i see of Lillard's addition to the Bucks is his defense. We all knew that he is a liability when it comes to that department so i'm thrilled on how the coaching staff solve that problem.

I don't believe he is completely comfortable playing with this team and the other players just yet. So this feeling out period is still needed because those numbers are quite poor to say the least for the amount of money they paid for him. Seeing him in green just didn't feel right to me as I was a Blazers fan and will always see him in red. Will wait and see next week if things will improve when the regular season kicks off on the 24th.

Will wait and see next week if things will improve when the regular season kicks off on the 24th. His buddy CJ was doing pretty well with the Pelicans. It would be a pity to see Lillard struggle with the Bucks, considering he's one of their main players, at least based on his salary. The Bucks needed someone like him, so there were high expectations when they got Lillard. But his numbers aren't all that impressive. I could understand if it was just one game, but it's not. In their game against the Lakers, he also only shot 3-10, though he finished with 14 points. Let's compare his performance this preseason, which is pretty poor when you look at his overall performance last season with the Blazers, where he finished with a 46% field goal percentage. Now, in these last two games, if we combine them to get an average, it's only 24% – very low! Is it not 'Dame time' yet? ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)
