2023/24 NBA REGULAR SEASON THREAD "THANKING FOR WEMBANYAMA"

when he was getting a ton of burn earlier in the season was that their attempt to showcase him lol

I get to tie a bow around this by noting that Detroit gave over 1k minutes to a guy who took playing time away from 3 of their top prospects and made life immeasurably (actually quite measurably) harder for their most important one. And that's just this year.

truly

they needed to physically remove killian from monty's vicinity and they couldn't find a trade partner, so they were forced to cut him

i would love to know all the bojan and alec burks trades they turned down in order to wind up with quentin grimes and two seconds

knicks said they'd take killian in the deal then said "psych!"

Last month, Philadelphia awarded Marcus Morris the key to the city

Sources: There is some initial optimism within the Lakers org in being able to land Spencer Dinwiddie. The Lakers will push hard to sign him.

Golden State did make one deal, sending guard Cory Joseph to the Indiana Pacers. But the Warriors didn’t receive any players in return, only cash and a second-round pick, according to league sources.

lakers and warriors should just play the remaining games against each other and leave the rest of the league alone

There is a Clippers trade:

To Denver: cash
To LA: draft rights to C Ismael Kamagate (2022 2nd round pick)

congrats to the nuggets who are now rich beyond their wildest dreams

some big moves

The 76ers are trading Jaden Springer to the Celtics for a second-round pick, sources tell ESPN.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) February 8, 2024

The Boston Celtics are trading Dalano Banton to the Portland Trail Blazers for a heavily protected second-round pick, sources tell ESPN.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) February 8, 2024

some NBA basketball players getting moved

you know what they always say, if you can get a Dalano Banton for a heavily protected second round pick you simply do it and deal with the consequences down the line

doing research on an important new celtic

Per source, Jaden Springer was strongly endorsed by Cs assistants with 76ers ties.
Sam Cassell and player dev. coach Tyler Lashbrook both coached him in Philly.

does he not realize hes gonna be 39 in a couple months and is cooked?

"All this sh*t is a f*cking joke..."

Maybe he was having an existential crisis about his shoe collection

missed this one gotta agree with magic here good pickup for the suns they need all the help they can get

Royce O’Neale going to the Suns may seem like a small trade, but he is a fierce competitor who will make a big impact on their team defensively!

— Earvin Magic Johnson (@MagicJohnson) February 8, 2024

feels like hes been on and off that roster at least three times

bean forever

Steph 6/6 from 3 in the first 9 minutes of the game.

I can't wait until the C's develop Springer and he ends up hitting like 3 4th quarter 3s against the Sixers down the line

Steph's feeling good knowing he wasn't traded

kobe long arm

cant believe they put his dumb ass self given nickname on there

and his dumb middle name

"yeah i did the rape. that was me"
