2024 NBA Season

[danherbias07]

Here’s the comparison photo with the re-enactment of the originally 1992 Dream Team photo. I was hoping to see it a little more perfectly recreated, but I can understand why they didn’t want to do it like that. It seems like this Olympic squad is all about paying their respects to LeBron James.

Cool! Well, I hope they win it because I know it won't be as easy as the Dream Team before. International players are getting stronger, the FIBA and EuroBasket showed how different they are right now and they will showcase everything here for their country.
I know the USA team is now filled with superstars but sometimes it doesn't work well especially when it comes to chemistry. I think France and Germany will give them a hard time if ever they will meet.

You guys heard about what happened with "Inside the NBA" right? TNT lost it's rights
This will be a good read for all the fans of Shaq, Ernie, Charles, and Kenny. I am a big fan, I love watching those guys.

History Shows Leagues Should Worry About Losing Studio Hits Like ‘Inside the NBA’

On Monday, Warner Bros. Discovery’s TNT Sports exercised its right to contractually “match” a third-party NBA rights bid from Amazon Prime Video, potentially setting up a legal battle between the company and league.

But, the problem comes.

NBA announces TNT, Warner Bros. Discovery did not match agreement with Amazon Prime; TNT vows to take 'appropriate action'

After TNT announced Monday that it submitted a matching offer to retain its NBA broadcast rights and its intent to continue producing the beloved studio show "Inside the NBA," the NBA responded Wednesday.

The league said in a statement that TNT's parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery, did not match the new 11-year, $1.8 billion annual contract the NBA agreed to with Amazon.

They should do everything to save this show, it's one of the best NBA pre and post-game shows. It's filled with good analysis and fun.

Even though we see a sad separation with the Warriors dynasty its still good that Klay goes to a contender team also his 3 point shooting will be so useful in Mavs since they really need a player like Klay who can give them a score on 3 point area. Even though Klay is not there we can still see that Warriors made a good move for adding those quality players in their roster and we can still see that they are strong team next season.

The Warriors are forced to let Klay move because he wasn't playing up to expectations anymore. They can't live in the past, as the team is really struggling, and Klay is one of the reasons due to his inconsistency compared to before. It might be good to see Klay move on and start a new chapter of his life with the Mavericks. However, it remains to be seen if he'll fit well and still deliver his specialty, which is three-point shooting.

Can be a good challenge to himself after being traded, he got the whole summer to keep up and work with his own capabilities, Klay is something that really got that strokes just so happened that the last few seasons after they become champion again is really not working for him and fot the whole team.

We can't conclude yet whether it's the best place for him but a good player always find his space and will provide whatever the coach and the team needs from him, let's see if how things will turn after this trade.

This is his last chance to prove that he still has the talent to bring the team to the championship. What made him leave the Warriors was his ego, so he really still has something inside of him (that high confidence in himself) that makes him think he is still the same.

I guess we will find out next season, but for a player like Klay, if he is not happy playing with a team like the Warriors, they cannot expect the best performance from him. Hopefully, Klay will be able to prove to the world that he remains one of the best shooters in the NBA. Now, I would like to see a battle of three-point shooting between him and his former splash brother if they meet again.

Reports this morning are saying that the Los Angeles Lakers are openly shopping D’Angelo Russell. No word yet on who they’re hoping to get in exchange and I don’t really have any guesses, but it seemed like for whatever reason D’Angelo just didn’t have the consistency that it takes to play alongside a guy like LeBron.

Russell Westbrook signed with Denver Nuggets. Russel Westbrook will receive $6.8 million for 2 years.

Denver Nuggets continue to strengthen the bench. Russel will be a good asset for them. I hope Russel can find what he is looking for in Denver.

Exactly.

NBA has been known when it's already on cable TV and now moving to a streaming service, they know that it has got millions of fans that subscription will definitely make a lot of money. I don't wish the NBA to drop its viewership because of this but we might see that in a couple of years.

Greed at its finest is what happening, Charles did even said something like this and they're forgetting how the league have been known in the past through their old format and service.

Wait but with this whole new shenanigans, what will happen to the user experience of watching the game, I think there will be a major drop in the numbers of viewership to be honest, and this would lead to more than the backlash they are currently receiving, which is duly deserved if you ask me. I don't know what is actually wrong with the current state of things and the available contract, they are only showing how more business oriented the league is going to be about rather than sports, yet we all blame the players when they make money grabbing moves from one team to another.

There will be for sure but lucky are those that have their subscription already to Prime. I'm not yet sure if this will be on top of their subscription or as long as they've got subscriptions already, they'd be able to stream it.

But too bad that the NBA management didn't chose the fans but instead, they're all for the money.

They're already rich with all of the years that the league has been done and it's doing well, they should have given this to the fans and we wait what will happen with the suing of TNT on them.

IMO, Westbrook can still play but obviously he's no longer in his prime. And he knows that he'd get contracts like this but as a baller, as long as he's getting paid and he's on a good team, he's pushing for a chip while he can.

Good luck to him and as well as his new team, still a contender.

A pretty good deal for both sides really. If Russ does good they get him for 2 years at a good deal. If he does bad they can buy him out pretty cheap after 1 and move on. I’m sure the merchandise and ticket sales will make this a win for Denver even if he never played. Russ gets a few million and another shot at a ring.

Finally, Russell Westbrook is signing a two-year, $6.8 million contract with the Denver Nuggets. I thought he wouldn't be able to sign this season, so it's good that the Nuggets signed him up. I think this is still a decent amount. I really hope he gets a championship ring this season with the Denver Nuggets. Who do you think will get a championship ring first among Chris Paul, James Harden, Paul George and Westbrook now that they're on different teams? I think Westbrook got the highest chance.

Draymond Green on Klay's leaving the Warriors,

Draymond Green on why he’s “happy” an unhappy Klay Thompson left the Golden State Warriors for Dallas:

“I’m happy as hell he’s gone because he wasn’t happy anymore. To see someone who does not have a single care in the world can’t shake nothing, that bothered me… it was time. He loved basketball, he loved his boat, he loved his dog. As a brother, I only want what’s best for you, not what’s best for me, not what’s best for this team.”

Brothers & champions for life! ❤️🏆

Yeah, make sense though, how can you stop or convince Klay to stay in the Warriors uniform when he is not happy with how the management treat him? Definitely there are some feelings for the big 3 of Steph, Dray and Klay as they build up a dynasty with 4 years.

However, as we have said, dynasties are not meant to stay that long, sooner or later it will crumble and probably this is it for the Warriors. They don't have Klay, they are aging, and was not able to get a good star so far in the trade to keep them going.

Draymond Green is just being a proper shithead when it comes to stirring controversial matters, he's was at the helm of it over Jordan Poole after he got traded too... This is just him chasing clout imo, he had his bits to say too before the trade happened.

All I can say is simple, what goes around comes around and Draymond himself could be the next... And to say Green was backed a lot by these players when keeps getting to his own mess on the court with silly attitudes that kept costing the team several matches.
