2022/23 NBA REGULAR SEASON THREAD "TANKING FOR WEMBANYAMA"

wow jrue with the 10 year gap between appearances (2013/2023) has to be on a short list

As others have noted, Jrue Holiday's 10 years between All-Star appearances is the longest gap in NBA history. I have the previous record as six years shared by Johnny Green (1965 to 1971) and Bernard King (1985 to 1991). https://t.co/fJ4I8kjhA3

ah, lovely zing…

butler not making it is comical

not really sure what jrue has done this season that he hasn't done in a lot of other seasons but i'm glad he's the answer to a trivia question now.

harden really should have gotten in

yeah its kinda messed up that harden did what everyone wanted by playing less selfish his teams is thriving and he got rewarded by getting kicked out of the all star game lol

makes sense

Just so people know, a lot of coaches do not care about picking the all-star reserves. I've been in coaches meetings where they spent five minutes putting their selections in.

Think about it, they are more locked in on their team and their upcoming opponents. It is what it is.

sounds like literally no one would care then if they removed the coaches from the process so we should probably get on that

let the media folks do it imo

yeah theyre the only ones who take it seriously, fans just vote for famous people coaches dont care players treat it like a joke

it is funny how the players will bitch like crazy about the sections then when theyre given a chance they vote for their teammate whos been injured all season

dillon brooks should get suspended for 5 games tbh

oh did dillon brooks make another dirty play, weird

maybe the rare example of a valuable player who is hated by both his own fanbase and all opposing fanbases

not reggie's finest moment

Reggie Miller somehow watches 7 different replay angles and doesn’t realize Brooks went out of his way to nail Mitchell in the balls.

lol hes so bad at watching and understanding basketball

spicy spida

Too many quotes, you’ve got to watch the whole thing.

Donovan Mitchell goes directly at Dillon Brooks in his postgame press conference. Must listen. @basketbllnews pic.twitter.com/m8CSeVedGW

wow big disappointed dad energy there

the other thing about dillon brooks that cannot escape
mention is he is not easy on the eyes out there

what the hell the pelicans have lost ten in a row??

streaks!

if you’ve caught one of their games the last several weeks it’s not all that surprising

building a team out of three of the most frequently injured star players in the NBA always had this as one of the outcomes

you guys told me this when we signed him, but kyle anderson is a real pro, been one of the best things about this team

yes hahaha yes

Breaking: Brooklyn Nets All-Star Kyrie Irving has requested a trade, league sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. The franchise has been informed that Irving prefers to move on ahead of the Feb. 9 trade deadline – or will leave in free agency in July.

alright here we go

sicko hours start now

i'm trying to think of landing spots that a) have the assets the nets would want b) would be appealing to kyrie c) would want kyrie

the only team that satisfies c) is the lakers, i think

but they do not satisfy a) and who knows about b)

The only team that makes sense is the lakers. Every scenario is funny tho

It’s amazing

they reportedly weren't interested the last time around but the heat are another landing spot that makes sense. they can match the salary and if the nets lower their price on kyrie to realistic levels, the heat could get there w/ a first or two. they like vets and desperately need offense. but he is a decidedly un-heat player in every other way

legendary work from kyrie

who wants kyrie on their team? idk probably no one

wonder if he considered that there needs to be a team to trade for him in order to complete a trade

anyone in the market for an all time team cancer who also quits in the playoffs

no team should ever trust him when the going gets tough, or even when the team is doing really good. that celtics loss must have broken him.

The Los Angeles Lakers, Phoenix Suns and Dallas Mavericks have emerged as potential suitors for Brooklyn Nets All-Star starter Kyrie Irving, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.

interesting that dallas wants to alienate Luka into leaving already figured that was a couple years down the road

I guess it would depend on the cap situations of the various teams but it seems like the nets don’t have a ton of leverage if kyrie is saying he’s going to make himself available after the season anyway

it's exactly why they traded harden. maybe they don't want to capitulate again but kyrie is clearly not going back there. i guess their argument is that they can make a run this year... but can they?

lmao this is amazing, just when it started to seem like the Nets + KD were gonna be one of the scariest teams in the league again

Do not complain about what you didn’t get
From the work you didn’t put in ..

— Jamal Murray (@BeMore27) February 3, 2023

Hmm

sigh they just need to trade bones and correct the vibes

what odd timing by kyrie. i thought things were finally clicking. wonder where his relationship with kd is at and how kd feels about this
