2024 NBA Season

[OgNasty]

Bronny James made his debut today. Probably not the outing he was hoping for. 2-9 shooting with 4 points and 2 rebounds. There’s also a clip going around on social media of him slipping on defense. He did have a nice move for a bucket at one point too. I thought LaMelo and Wemby would be busts though, so I’m not commenting on Bronny’s future.

[xLays]

Caleb Martin signed with the Philadelphia 76ers.

Miles Bridges stayed with the Charlotte Hornets for a 3 year, $75 million contract.

DeMar DeRozan is probably going to Sacramento King. The Chicago Bulls and Sacramento Kings have reached an agreement, and they are looking for a third team to finalize the deal.

I’m hearing a lot of rumors about the Kings getting players. Most recently Brandon Ingram was rumored to be heading to Sacramento. The Kings have definitely flipped the switch into desperation mode. Their star player (Fox) not wanting to sign an extension has showed them that their window to make a playoff run is about to close.

I think Brandon Ingram to the Kings won't happen since they will sign DeMar DeRozan. I read some of the news about DeRozan will sign a three-year, $74 million deal with Sacramento.

For sure this won't happen if they trade Zach LaVine. The Bulls are still trying to bargain for LaVine, but no team wants him because he is injury prone. If the Bulls stick with Zach LaVine, they will definitely not make the playoffs again.

They already did, there are videos of the Kings owner and deRozan entering Golden 1 together. So the other team that's involved is San Antonio Spurs. The deal is three years, Harrison Barnes to the Spurs and Chris Duarte, and two second round picks and cash consideration.

@LogitechMouse it's like this for the Los Angeles Lakers:

❌ Paul George
❌ James Harden
❌ Jonas Valanciunas
❌ Chris Paul
❌ Klay Thompson
❌ Buddy Hield
❌ DeMar DeRozan

✅ Bronny

What is happening Rob Pelinka,

Great deal for the Kings as they need someone who have the experience in the playoffs to help their main player lead the team. DeRozan has been great but hasn't been a team that are a championship team, so I guess hopefully he found the right place now. I thought they are for real with the Bulls, but yo know, injuries on the stars doesn't seemed to help a lot. This is just a great move although Barnes has been a huge help for th team but he ain't getting any younger, so getting rid of him though a trade is good.

For sure this won't happen if they trade Zach LaVine. The Bulls are still trying to bargain for LaVine, but no team wants him because he is injury prone. If the Bulls stick with Zach LaVine, they will definitely not make the playoffs again.

They have no choice though, Zach Lavine is now their main player just like before, but when he got injured, a lot of players had stepped up, so let's see how the Bulls are gonna play in the coming season.

I thought LaMelo and Wemby would be busts though, so I’m not commenting on Bronny’s future.

Those two guys were drafter high for a reason as they were promising, while we know what would have happened with Bronny if LeBron wasn't his father so I think its safe to assume that he will be bust and will play in the NBA as long as his father is in, so something like Thanasis. Anything else would be a miracle.


In other news, rumour is that Nuggets signed my countryman Saric to a 2 years $10.6M deal. Imho, not a bad deal for both parties involved and if he can stay healthy it will be a bargain deal for Nuggets. I personally would like him to come back to Europe as Panathinaikos showed some serious interest but I guess he wanted it to give one more shot and maybe even win the title.

There's nothing huge expectation that Bronny would perform better since at first place he didn't get drafted at higher place.

Also his stats is pretty bad that's why lots of team avoid to get him. If there are few showing an interest then provably they are just luring Lebron to join their team. So provably that Bronny will just be a bench warmer then get few minutes in court just for marketing.

LBJ maybe just hope that Bronny could learn something on Lakers but if he totally became another Thanasis like then provably he's career will end up early especially that Lebron is going to retire soon.

Bronny just got drafted because of the popularity of his father, other than that, we can't expect him to contribute to the team significantly.
I guess enough for Bronny, we criticized him too much but let's give him a chance, maybe he'll make a miracle and will be able to be one of the starters, probably replacing Reaves. lol

Saric hasn't had a big impact with the Warriors, I don't know why they didn't use him much but if he'll be with the Nuggets, that would be another good addition so they could  give Jokic more time to rest in a game if necessary.

Sad to say that he serves his purpose, I mean for now he's for marketing and to keep LeBron but in terms of his future inside the league, it's more on how he will perform and how the coaching staff will allow him to play, he can stand up and co-exist with all the stars if he keeps improves his game, not a quick conclusion but he can only defend himself by proving that he deserves that spot.

And same with what you mentioned, if he don't meet that expectation might be possible that his career might be like Thanasis, else, he can create his own name and compete with all the best players inside the league.

[danherbias07]

Yes guys it's a done deal. The Kings just got scarier.

Kings acquire DeMar DeRozan in three-team sign-and-trade with Bulls, Spurs

Kings receive: DeMar DeRozan
Bulls receive: Chris Duarte, two second-round picks, cash
Spurs receive: Harrison Barnes, 2031 unprotected pick swap with the King

https://www.nbcsports.com/nba/news/kings-acquire-demar-derozan-in-three-team-sign-and-trade-with-bulls-spurs

Barnes on the other hand can give support for the star Rookie in Spurs. He and CP3 will do great being a veteran of the league and passing their knowledge to him.

Back to DeRozan. It's scary because now they have two of the best perimeter players in the league. Fox and him. The floor spacing will be wider and both can also attack the paint if they want to. Sabonis, DeMar, Fox, Monk, and Keegan. I am getting goosebumps. We will see a lot of fast-break plays on these agile guys.
Now, they need to strengthen their 2nd team.

Losing Harrison Barnes and gaining a mid 30s derozen doesn't move the needle much.  I love derozen amd think is health and ability to stay on the court is great he will be on the down trend.  Nobody gets better after theor mid 30s.  They had to do it but come playoffs I don't see them as anymore dangerous as they are now.

I guess enough for Bronny, we criticized him too much but let's give him a chance, maybe he'll make a miracle and will be able to be one of the starters, probably replacing Reaves. lol

Fans have criticized him a lot.

Whenever he's not yet on the NBA and playing college, many were already criticizing him. Now, that he's got drafted by his pop's team, he's still being criticized.

The same as his dad, people still criticizing and hating him. I hope that people would have love for the two as they're just doing what they do.

Stop the hate, the actual season hasn't even started yet

[LogitechMouse]

@LogitechMouse it's like this for the Los Angeles Lakers:

❌ Paul George
❌ James Harden
❌ Jonas Valanciunas
❌ Chris Paul
❌ Klay Thompson

✅ Bronny

What is happening Rob Pelinka,  

After having good trade by getting Hachimura, now a series of missed players are happening with the LA.

I don't know the main reason, but it's either they don't want to feel the pressure around the LA Laker fans like what happened with Russell Westbrook back when he was still there, or getting Bronny sends a negative impact towards these players hence, they don't want to be with the Lakers anymore. TBH, drafting Bronny wasn't a good decision at all, but Rob Pelinka isn't the GM of the Lakers, but it's LeBron, right?

Fans have criticized him a lot.

Whenever he's not yet on the NBA and playing college, many were already criticizing him. Now, that he's got drafted by his pop's team, he's still being criticized.

That's the pressure when your dad is one of the greatest of all time in the largest basketball league around the world.

I don't hate him personally, but you can't take the fact that there will always be people out there that will hate him for multiple reasons. Also, take note that the LA Laker fans already hated Le-GM because of how manipulative he is, and how he acts like he's the GM of the Lakers organization. That hate will also be passed to his son and it's happening already. What Bronny can do is to just ignore what others are saying and focus on his development. That's his only way of shutting down these haters.

I have no hate for his son, but I have a bit of hate towards Le-GM because of how he uses his powers to make things favorable to him.

I understand where the hate is coming from. It is not because LeBron is his father, but because he is not deserving to be in the NBA based on his statistics in college, just like Thanasis being hated by some fans because he was on a team where he literally did nothing, LOL.

I think we should not take this seriously though. They hate him in real life, but on his life as a basketball player. Without those kinds of hate and love in basketball, this league wouldn't be fun, just saying.

I think the one on that list that really hurts is Buddy Hield.  I've been saying for years that his game would go perfectly with LeBron.  The Lakers need a shooter like that so I was bummed they didn't at least get Klay.  LeBron does best when he has 3 point shooters to kick the ball out to while driving.  I feel like he hasn't been surrounded with good shooters since the bubble.

Even when LBJ isn't yet on the Lakers, people hated him already. That hate is causing them too much stress for themselves. I am not feeling bad for them either with LBJ. They give him hate as much as they want while LBJ continues to work on himself and made history after histories and continues to earn as well decently.

But it's true that the burden and expectation by being the son of the known and one of the greatest is there.

Compared to Thanasis, there are also other bench players that have gone through the championship by heating their seat on the bench. No offense, they've earned their spot and Thanasis, I don't see hate on him but pure memes. 

As for Bronny, he's got a lot of time to prove his worth but no doubt that his dad influenced the draft.

Funny to say but that's reality, it indeed even before LBJ went to Lakers, but for the James family they don't mind them as they still getting their paycheck especially now that Bronny sign his contracts that's sure money for him.

Yeah right, not just Thanasis but there are players who win a ring without playing they are more successful compared to those superstar who finished their careers without winning a ring achievements wise.

I think Lebron wanted to surround himself with 3 point artist, I think when they won the ring in the bubble he has a good shooters around him. But those shooters didn't stay that long for the Lakers and that is the problem with them.

They have like KCP, and Malik Monk if I'm not mistaken, but the management just keeps on trading them or not giving them a big contract. That's why maybe Hield could bea perfect fit but they did let him go. DeRozan too could be good for Los Angeles as he wanted to play with them since he is a native of LA.

[danherbias07]

After those sudden trades, signs, and other things that are happening in the NBA, here is a good read while we wait for other trades to come.
NBA offseason winners and losers: Kings raise floor with DeMar DeRozan deal; Lakers' summer had been a bust
https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/nba-offseason-winners-and-losers-kings-raise-floor-with-demar-derozan-deal-lakers-summer-had-been-a-bust/

Winner: Sacramento Kings
The Kings already have a good offense without DeRozan, and the Timberwolves already had a good defense without Gobert. This just further solidifies it when Fox is on the bench or missing his usual 15-20 games. DeRozan remains about a sure a bucket as possible in tight possessions. That matters a lot over the course of 82 games, and indeed the Kings have to prioritize the regular season.

Loser: Los Angeles Lakers
We keep hearing about this (air quotes) third star they're looking to bring in, but forget a star; the Lakers are striking out on role players. Klay Thompson told them no, and he had every reason to end his career in Los Angeles, where he was born and where his dad won two championships and still serves as a Lakers radio commentator.

Do include the $20 million offer of Lebron just to get a third man for the team.

Winner: Philadelphia 76ers
The Sixers are winners by landing George, who fits neatly in their starting lineup between fellow All-Stars Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, who signed his own $204 million extension. George will almost certainly be the best player to change teams in free agency, and his addition makes the Sixers one of the NBA's top title contenders behind the reigning champion Celtics.

Loser: Los Angeles Clippers
The Clippers reportedly had a trade opportunity for George with the Warriors that would've at least brought back some valuable stuff, including a first-round pick and Jonathan Kuminga -- but it would've come with a $30 million Chris Paul commitment that would've probably put them over the second apron anyway.

Wow! I didn't know about that trade opportunity for the Clippers to get Jonathan Kuminga and a first-round pick. That could've been big for the Clippers. I mean Kuminga is growing at a speed that is surprising and the way he played last season says it all. That young guy will probably be one of the best forwards in the league and also one of the fastest.

Winner: New York Knicks
In a vacuum, Mikal Bridges isn't worth five first-round picks and another swap. But in the context of this Knicks team, he is. With OG Anunoby re-signed, the Knicks are one of the few teams that can match the Celtics' blueprint of a whole squad of top-shelf perimeter defenders funneling scorers toward an elite rim protector, which will likely be Mitchell Robinson with Isaiah Hartenstein on his way to Oklahoma City. It's impossible to overstate how much Bridges elevates this already very good team.

I agree. The Knicks are only lacking defensive players because Brunson can already bring chaos on the offensive end. He may be small but he cannot be easily stopped. Hart did try to cover for defense but the effect was exhausting nights with 40+ minutes per game, that cannot happen which is why Bridges is a good addition for their team.

[Yaunfitda]

^^ And this, about Klay's move to Dallas, and it seems very complicated and it was reported that this is the first time that this many teams and cash consideration are involved in such trade and also future picks.



https://x.com/MavsPR/status/1809769317216710666

Also, Klay's Warrior jersey is now on sale, for obvious reasons or if you are a fan, maybe you can keep it as memorabilia.

[ultrloa]

They already did, there are videos of the Kings owner and deRozan entering Golden 1 together. So the other team that's involved is San Antonio Spurs. The deal is three years, Harrison Barnes to the Spurs and Chris Duarte, and two second round picks and cash consideration.

@LogitechMouse it's like this for the Los Angeles Lakers:

I think the one on that list that really hurts is Buddy Hield.  I've been saying for years that his game would go perfectly with LeBron.  The Lakers need a shooter like that so I was bummed they didn't at least get Klay.  LeBron does best when he has 3 point shooters to kick the ball out to while driving.  I feel like he hasn't been surrounded with good shooters since the bubble. 

I think Lebron wanted to surround himself with 3 point artist, I think when they won the ring in the bubble he has a good shooters around him. But those shooters didn't stay that long for the Lakers and that is the problem with them.

That's why maybe Hield could bea perfect fit but they did let him go. DeRozan too could be good for Los Angeles as he wanted to play with them since he is a native of LA.

Its really important for a team to have reliable 3 point shooter since those guys could be a game changer especially on critical situations. That's why Lebron try to recruit those guys to want to build a more stronger Lakers next season. But its like all of them avoid to be added on Lakers roster maybe they know that they cannot get something with that team since maybe they will get less credit if there team would perform better, but would get a lot of blame if they perform bad just like what happen to them for past seasons.

Lakers management especially Pelinka seems not really good to handle their team and it seems he always commit bad decision which Lakers would suffer at the end.
