2021-22 NBA "REGULAR" SEASON THREAD

getting the best player in a trade is pretty exciting!

are you talking about the kings

lol love jimmy

Jimmy Butler says he wants more brawls in the NBA

“They’re not letting you get into no brawls no more. Nobody’s going to let you do that. I wish that they would let us do that a little bit, if I’m just being honest.”

jimmy is full of shit

jimmy's getting upset. jimmy doesn't like it when they don't let him brawl.

let jimmy brawl whats the worst that could happen its just a little brawlin

Jimmy Brawls would be an awesome rockabilly name

they prob did get better, at the very least they got a less rigid player who is also younger/cheaper. but what is their path to the second round of the playoffs lots of unanswered questions, but i guess you can only make one move at a time

they have a good draft pick (and the cavs pick) this year, 27M of expirings in rubio and thompson, and they can move brogdon next season. they're pretty well set up to keep making moves

are you talking about the kings

haha no

Brad Beal season-ending wrist surgery

One less team deluded into thinking they should be buyers I guess

i'm surprised that neither kuzma or KCP have come up in any trade rumors from what i can tell, feel like those are both guys who could really help playoff teams

Doesn’t this seem like a lot of movement for 2 days before the deadline

it does

wonder if it's bcuz guys like lavert, sabonis, halliburton, CJ have been on the market/in trade discussions for a while so teams had a pretty good idea what the offers were looking like around the league. the norm powell one i feel like is the one that really came out of nowhere. i mean nobody had sabonis to the kings for halliburton but ppl have been talking about those guys in trades for months now

yeah it does make you think that some of these structures have been in place for a while and teams knew what the best offers out there were.

Haliburton was “shocked” when informed of the deal by his representatives and then moments later by GM Monte McNair.

He’s packing his belongings and is heading to Indianapolis tomorrow.

The overriding impression with TeamHaliburton is that the Kings “really wanted Sabonis”

Lmao it’s a national game too

they couldve played this suns sixers game thats tied in the 4th

Wtf is happening in brooklyn

all their guys are out

is that list of coaches ranked?

yeah doc rivers is #250 haha

nets gonna be in 8th

i guess the voting on that coaches list was the 30 current coaches and 13 retired coaches which explains the, um, recency bias of it

they couldve played this suns sixers game thats tied in the 4th

guess they did switch over to it lol

They even said they had a feed back like a couple minutes after the commercial break and then never mentioned that again. I call shenanigans! https://t.co/BIGo57o4yw

this has actually been a consistent (if low key) rumour for a while. or at least that the kings wanted sabonis, though getting haliburton for him was less likely than getting fox

morris bros strike again

nuggets bench is +20 vs a good bench, now I’ve seen it all

xp cool thing to do in general but especially cool when you're down by 22

nice lil 83 piece the nuggets hung on the knicks in the first half

giannis block on brow’s jumpshot 😍

watching the lakers struggle with half a roster didnt really do it for me. i need to see them get blown out at full strength

otm

the nuggets halftime show was amazing. thoroughly mediocre 10 year olds playing basketball. white team beats the blue team 4-0

aw lil bit sad

jfc Bucks save some of this for the playoffs

did Lebron just get T'd up for whining

watching the lakers struggle with half a roster didnt really do it for me. i need to see them get blown out at full strength

westbrook is missing jumpers from the charge circle far left. it's a problem.

for some reason the refs seem happier to hand bron Ts for ragging them this season. feels like it was a group decision behind the scenes to get him to back off some

that sequence by the Lakers was some of the ugliest basketball I've ever seen in my life

Lmaokers

jealous of all the Lakers fans who are getting to witness an all-time Bobby Portis game right now

it's wild that I can say with confidence: The Minnesota Timberwolves are a better team than the Lakers

Windhorst now reporting that he expects Harden and Simmons to get done by 3pm Thursday, fwiw.

it's not clear to me why the nets would pull the plug on harden at the deadline instead of just playing the season out. clearly ben simmons isn't going to be traded for anyone else in the next 24 hours
