NBA 2023-24 Thread
Here we go: another new season, another new thread, another opening night, another new questionnaire that nobody but Headache will answer!
__________________1. After going to the 2021 ECF, the Trae Young-led Hawks have had two straight seasons end in first-round defeat, with John Collins trade rumors hovering over both seasons; this summer, they finally traded him, netting(after subsequent moves) only Patty Mills and a 2nd. Is this going to be a case of addition by subtraction where the team will be better without him as other players get more minutes? Or is it just subtraction? Will they get out of the first round this year? 2. After a 2022 Finals appearance and a disappointing 2023 ECF loss in seven games, the Celtics were aggressive this summer, adding Kristaps Porzingis and, later, Jrue Holiday in the wake of the Lillard deal, parting with Marcus Smart and Robert Williams, mainstays of their success the last two years, as well as Grant Williams, who walked in FA. At the same time, they doubled down on their star duo giving Brown his supermax rather than trading him for Dame. Is this Celtics team better than the last two? Will they come out of the East? Can Kristaps stay healthy? 3. The Nets are entering their first full post-big three season. Ben Simmons claims to be ready to go physically and mentally and for first time is on a team not expected to win anything and thus is free of pressure. Will he redeem himself? Will he, Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, and Nick Claxton fit? Will new acquisition Lonnie Walker add anything to the puzzle? Is there anything to root for here? 4. There was some genuine buzz around the Cavs after last summer's blockbuster trade for Donovan Mitchell, but after a disappointing first-round loss, they didn't do a whole lot this summer - their big move was swapping Cedi Osman for Max Strus, and it looks like they've lost Ricky Rubio from their depth chart indefinitely. Will Strus make any difference? Will Evan Mobley make that third-year jump? Will the Cavs be for real this year? 5. The Denver Nuggets are the defending champs, and they are running the same team back minus Bruce Brown and plus three new rookies(the 29th pick, Julian Strawther, and second round picks Jalen Pickett and Hunter Tyson). Quite simply, are they the favorites to repeat? Will Jokic maintain his level of play? Will Murray, MPJ, and Gordon? Do they have enough depth this season? Will they feel Brown's absence? 6. The Warriors have attempted to solve last season's locker room issues by getting rid of Jordan Poole; bringing a late-career Chris Paul into the fold in the process. Will CP3 mesh and/or be healthy enough to make a difference? Will Steph and CP3 work on the court together? Do Draymond and Klay have enough left in the tank? Do the Warriors have one last run left in them? 7. As always with this iteration of the Clippers, the question is will this be the season Kawhi and George stay healthy? And the new question now is, will Harden get there sooner or later? Will he make a difference? Is there any scenario where the Clippers can contend for a title this season, with or without Harden? 8. After their post-deadline turnaround and WCF run last season, and after LeBron's brief threat to retire, the Lakers have run it back and then some, re-upping D'Angelo Russell, Rui Hachimura, Austin Reaves, and Jerrod Vanderbilt and extending AD, and top of that, they've added interesting depth in Gabe Vincent, Christian Wood, Taurean Prince, and Cam Reddish, while their only losses were Malik Beasley, Dennis Schroeder, and Lonnie Walker. Will they build on their late-season success? Are they a threat to come out of the West? Does LeBron have a shot at one last ring? 9. The Grizzlies have had a strange offseason, starting with the Morant suspension and the announcement ahead of time they the were going to let Dillon Brooks walk, and then trading Tyus Jones for Marcus Smart to facilitate the Porzingis-to-Celtics deal and signing Derrick Rose, and finishing with the recent bad news that Steven Adams will miss the season. How much will the Morant suspension hurt? Will Smart and Rose be enough to hold the PG spot down? Is Morant going to get his crap together when he does come back? Do the Grizzlies have any shot at doing anything this year, or is it going to be a lost season given Morant's early absence and Adams' season-long absence? 10. For an outside observer, it looks like a bad offseason for the Heat. They waited all summer for a Dame trade that never happened, and they lost Vincent and Strus in the process(not to mention Dipo whose career is probably done anyway). They added Josh Richardson, but this is a team that had to go to the Finals from the #8 seed last season, and not only did they not get better, they look like they've gotten worse, and older in the case of Jimmy/Lowry/Love. Are they due for a regression or will they surprise everyone again? 11. Having made the biggest splash of the offseason, the Bucks enter 2023-24 with a new coach in Adrian Griffin, a new superstar in Dame to pair with a newly-extended Giannis, and an interesting new piece in Malik Beasley, having lost Jrue and Grayson Allen. It seems like anything less than a championship will be a disappointment. Will they do it? Will the Giannis/Dame/Middleton/BroLo core work? Will Portis/Connaughton/RoLo/Crowder/Beasley/Payne be enough depth? Will they miss Jrue more than they think? 12. The Timberwolves are bringing back essentially the same team as last season where, after giving up the world for Gobert, they only managed to squeak out one win as the #8 seed before falling to the Nuggets. Will the KAT/Gobert/Edwards core see enough internal improvement to be better than that this season? Will the Gobert deal end up looking any better? Does Conley have anything left? 13. The Knicks had an uneventful offseason; MSG and the city of NY seemed HYPED for the Knicks to win that playoff series over the Cavs, but after the second round loss, the Knicks did very little over the summer - basically, they let Rose go(no surprise), traded Obi Toppin away, and signed Donte Divincenzo. They seem to be banking on internal improvement. Will it come? Are the Knicks going to get better or regress? 14. The Sixers enter the season in disarray, stuck in a standoff involving Harden, Morey, and the Clippers. What questions to even ask? Is there any chance Harden finishes the season with Philly? Will he play at all? If so, will he play hard enough and good enough to give them a shot at anything? If he's moved, is their season effectively done? Could they possibly get anything good enough for him to remain a fringe contender? Is the Sixers' season cooked before it's started? Is is just a matter of time before Embiid asks out? 15. This new owner of the Suns has come in aggressive - after acquiring Durant at last season's deadline, he's kicked CP3 to the curb for Bradley Beal, swapped Ayton for Nurkic, and added Eric Gordon and Grayson Allen for depth. Some think it's a superteam, but some are scratching their heads - there's only one basketball for Durant/Booker/Beal to play with, Nurkic is always hurt, and the depth still isn't great. Is this new attempt at a superteam a real contender or a pretender? 16. The Kings were the surprise of the 2022-23 season, winning 48 games and going up 3-2 on the Warriors in the first round before losing the series. Will they build on that success this season? Do they have room to grow? Or was it a fluke? Those are last season's playoff teams. What about the rest? Which of the following teams have the best shot at getting in this season? 17. The Hornets were sold over the summer, and they start their post-MJ era by adding #2 pick Brandon Miller and getting back Miles Bridges(maybe). Will this be the start of a more successful era for the franchise(It would be hard to be less successful)? 18. Unlike last year, Lonzo Ball has been pre-emptively declared out for the season. The Bulls added decent role players in Torrey Craig and Jevon Carter, while re-upping Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu and extending Nikola Vucevic. Last season, the Bulls lost in the play-in; In the wake of this not-very-exciting offseason, will the Bulls be able to do better than that this season? 19. With Kyrie Irving signed long-term with the Mavs now, will he and Luka figure out how to co-exist effectively with each other? Is there enough of a supporting cast with Dwight Powell, Maxi Kleiber, the 12th pick Dereck Lively, and the newly acquired Grant Williams and Richaun Holmes in the front court and Tim Hardaway Jr. and the newly acquired Seth Curry in the backcourt? Are they at least going to be a solid playoff team after last season's collapse? 20. Detroit is years into their youth movement and - while they've stockpiled a fair amount of young talent - Cade Cunningham, Jaden Ivey, Jalen Duren, Isaac Stewart, last season's acquisition and former #2 pick James Wiseman, former blue chip prospect Marvin Bagley, and 2023 #5 pick Ausar Thompson, to name a few - they don't have much to show for it. Is this season they finally get out of the cellar? 21. The Rockets had a perplexing offseason, bringing in Fred VanVleet and Dillon Brooks - after Harden didn't enter FA after all - to join their core youth pieces in Jalen Green, Alperen Sengun, Tari Eason, Jabari Smith, and 2023 #4 pick Amen Thompson. Will VanVleet and Thompson make a difference? Will a change of scenery make a difference for Brooks? Is adding Brooks to a young team like this asking for trouble? 22. The Pacers missed the playoffs last year, but they've added Bruce Brown and Obi Toppin to their young core of Tyrese Haliburton and Benedict Mathruin, and Myles Turner and Buddy Hield are still around. Might they make a push? Or will Turner and Hield finally be moved by the deadline? 23. As always, the only question that matters for the Pelicans is, will this be the season Zion finally stays healthy? We could talk about whether or not they have enough talent to make some noise in the first couple rounds of the playoffs, but unless Zion can stay healthy, the answer will be no. 24. The Thunder are a sneaky interesting team this season. SGA had a great 2022-23 season, and the Thunder narrowly lost the play-in, so they were already on the cusp of the playoffs. This season, they will add 2022 #2 pick Chet Holmgren(who missed last season due to injury) and 2023 #10 Carsen Wallace, as well as Vasilije Micic, who is finally coming over. Is this the year the Thunder emerge as a playoff team? How good will Holmgren be? 25. The Magic have been identified by many as a potential team on the rise, featuring the reigning rookie of the year Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner, Jalen Suggs, and Wendell Carter, as well as Jonathan Isaac who(I feel like I say this every year) is back, and they've now added the #6 pick Anthony Black and the #11 pick Jett Howard to that young core, as well the veteran Joe Ingles. Are the Magic gonna make some noise? Are they a team that could earn themselves a playoff birth this season? 26. The Blazers are now fully in the Post-Dame youth movement - is the new group of Scoot Henderson, Anfernee Simons, Shaeden Sharpe, Jerami Grant, DeAndre Ayton, Robert Williams, Matisse Thybulle, Malcolm Brogdon, and Kris Murray going to gel? They seem to have a nice core of talent there. Grant and Brogdon have been discussed as pieces that could be moved sooner rather than later - will they be moved by the deadline? 27. The only question that matters for the Spurs - how good will Victor Webenyama - the most hyped prospect since LeBron - be? Is he going to meet expectations? Will he make a difference right away? Does he have ROY locked? Could the Spurs challenge for a playoff spot this year? 28. The Raptors seem to have taken a step back, losing Fred VanVleet in FA, replacing him with Dennis Schroder, and failing to land Dame or anyone else in trade. With Pascal Siakam and Gary Trent set to expire after this season, OG Anunoby with a player option for next season, and next season being the last year of Scottie Barnes' rookie deal, it seems like the Raptors may be on the brink of big changes. They were a play-in team last season; will they even be that this season? 29. The Jazz were better than many thought they'd be last season, and now they've added John Collins on the cheap(in terms of trade value), and three first-round picks including #9 overall pick Taylor Hendricks and #16 overall pick Keyonte George to a young group that already included Lauri Markannen, Colin Sexton, and Walker Kessler. Will they surprise us more this season? 30. With Beal gone and Jordan Poole and Tyus Jones in, and Kuzma re-signed, the Wizards seem set to let Poole and Kuzma be the tank commanders while their youth(Avdija, Davis, Kispert, #7 overall pick Bilal Coulibaly) develops. Any reason to think this will be anything other than a total tank job? 31. Which rookies, besides Wemby, do you think will make the most immediate impact? 32. The TV deals seem to be taking longer than usual this time around - perhaps due to Disney/WarnerMedia not wanting to pay what the NBA wants, perhaps due to the question of whether the NBA wants to enter the streaming arena, perhaps due to the Hollywood strikes, perhaps due to other reasons; will we have new TV deals by season's end? Will anything change, or will it be ESPN and TNT again? Will the NBA enter the streaming game like other sports have? Happy opening night everyone! |

Came here to see if you'd mention Malik Beasley, oh damn you did, and I'm aroused.

so, uh, yea. they're an average team - and a break here or there could send them a bit higher or lower than average, but not by much. Quote:
offensively he'll do a lot of scoring from the high post (he's not a guy who buries you in the block), and can be very dangerous in screen/roll action - either as a roller or as a pick and pop guy. he's become VERY efficient on the offensive side. defensively - he'll protect the rim, but can also be an absolute liability in the same area that he excels at on offense - defending on pick and rolls on the perimeter. it'll be something teams look to expose in the playoffs for sure. bazooka joe will have to figure that out (or will it be the Celtics new "consultant" that ends up being the guy to figure it out? ![]() i'd be very worried about his legs - while also thinking that his odds of staying healthy are better now because of the changes he's made to his game. but still, to paraphrase Jeff Ament, seven three is a long way to fall. if he can stay healthy Boston is as good as anyone and should absolutely challenge Milwaukee for the east. Quote:
brooklyn is that team this year. Quote:
Is Evan Mobley ready to take the next step? if the answer is yes? Cleveland could be very scary - not Boston/Milwaukee scary, but a dark horse team that could contend if either of the top two suffer big injuries. if Mobley isn't? then they're likely a 45 to 50 win team that maybe can get out of the first round (but probably won't). Quote:
they didn't just win the title - they dominated their way to the title. the disrespect shown to them is crazy. they beat minnesota in a gentleman's sweep. they beat phoenix 4 games to 2 with all four wins being in double digits. they curb stomped the Lakers, and finished it off with another gentleman's sweep of Miami. they are the best team in the NBA. Quote:
the issue with poole - more than anything locker room related - was that he was redundant. they didn't need his scoring - that wasn't the issue for them. their bench looks much better, and much more "warriors" like - ball movement, defense. if all things break they could be among the teams with a shot - if denver falters (i.e. Jokic or Murray get hurt) Quote:
Quote:
i'm also a bit tired of hearing about Austin Reaves. like - come on. he's a nice role player - but they're talking about him in LA like he's somehow the third star. Rui - i watched him up close and personal for 3 years. what i saw was a guy who would always show you JUST enough to be enticed about his potential, while never actually ever reaching that potential. to borrow a very played out phrase - the dog, it ain't in him. maybe LA & lebron can bring it out of him. but i have my doubts. what he did last year lines up exactly with what he did with the Wizards. He'd look amazing one day, and then disappear for a week. his percentages and advanced stats actually went DOWN when he came to LA. to me he's always been fools gold, and i think that's exactly what he'll be in LA. he might drop 30 on opening night, and then put up 3 games in a row of 8 points. but the 30 will get everyone fired up about how good he could be. pass. which brings us to LeBron and AD. the lakers will be as good as the health of those guys. you betting the house on that? didn't think so. Quote:
Quote:
I don't see a regression - because let's be real - they were the 8 seed last year. They made a big run in the playoffs when Playoff Jimmy came out - but they were a decidedly average team all year (another reason why buyers should beware when signing their big playoff performers - hi Lakers, Cleveland). Herro is healthy - so that will help. Jovic is a guy to keep an eye on... can he finally start contributing? he looked good in FIBA. thomas bryant feels like the perfect miami player. he's incredibly active and plays with a ton of energy, and has a bit of a chip on his shoulder over not getting any time in LA or Denver. Jaime Jaquez also looks like a tailor made Heat Culture guy. i don't think Miami has the assets to make a big trade - they don't have enough draft picks. but they'll be fine. they're not as good as Boston or Milwaukee, but they weren't last year, either. they just got hot at the right time. Quote:
I feel like Milwaukee is slightly better - but a lot of this will come down to health. conceivably the heat will be taken off of Middleton - allowing him to be healthier down the stretch. but it's also possible that Middleton is just cooked. what he is able to provide will be the difference between Boston and Milwaukee. Quote:
speaking of... Quote:
When Obi Toppin is decidedly MEH in Indiana and the Knicks are again a top 6 team in the east, maybe - just maybe - Knicks fans will give Thibs the credit he deserves. But probably not. Quote:
Embiid has two to three years left before that body becomes a ticking time bomb. Philly needs to make a move now, trust that Maxey is a future stud, and see what they can do. But ultimately? Yea - Embiid will likely ask out this offseason after another playoff run where he shits the bed and disappears in the clutch (only he won't be able to blame Ben Simmons or James Harden this time. Maybe it'll be Tobias Harris' fault). the teams with the most assets to give in an offseason Embiid trade are the Knicks and OKC. But i don't see Morey trading him to New York, and OKC doesn't need him. So I have no clue where he might end up. Miami doesn't have the draft picks. Utah? Quote:
Bradley Beal hasn't been a facilitator, nor has he been a guy who plays off the ball, since the last time John Wall was healthy. and now they want him to be their point guard? good luck. he also hasn't played help defense in 5 years. maybe he can turn on a switch now that he's with a team that should be good - but i have my doubts. and he's already hurt and apparently isn't playing tonight. look they can be good because KD Is that guy. but they got smoked by Denver. smoked. is adding Beal and losing all depth at center really going to close that gap? if brad plays help defense against Denver in the playoffs the way he played here for the past 5 seasons he's going to get absolutely eaten alive. they're very much like the Nets with KD, Kyrie and Harden. they COULD put it together, but probably won't - and even if they do, probably won't be able to stay healthy. Quote:
they absolutely need to defend better to be taken serious come playoff time. i don't think they didn't anything to fix that. there are a lot of "good" teams in the west - maybe only one great one, but a lot of good. a 3 game drop off - which isn't crazy, could all of a sudden see them going from the 3 seed to battling to avoid the play in. Quote:
Quote:
Quote:
derozan is in the last year of his contract. caruso's deal is only partially guaranteed next year. lavine is the question mark. his 40ish million dollar deal will be tough to trade. but yea - i can see them dealing off the other two. Quote:
Everything Kyrie Touches Dies. Quote:

they're well coached, and haliburton is good. so we'll see. Quote:

Quote:
but he's good. really good. the question isn't how good will he be. he's going to be VERY good. the question is whether or not he can stay healthy doing the things he does with that frame. touched on it with Porzingis earlier. the human body isn't mean to be able to play as a guard at that size. if he stays healthy he's a future top 10 player and potentially a top 3 player. but it's a huge if. it's literally the only question with him. his skill is not in doubt. Quote:
Quote:
Quote:
when OKC traded Russ away - everyone expected the full tank job. but they didn't. they actually surprised people and made the playoffs. THEN they traded CP3 and Paul George and went full tank. they got all those picks AND they got SGA out of the deal. the guys in charge of the Wizards now are cut from that cloth. it's a weaker draft this year. they're not going full tank. at least not yet. the beal no trade clause kept them from getting the haul that the old regime SHOULD have gotten for him 3 years ago. so to do this right - they need assets. they have a TON of tradable contracts. they have a ton of veterans on this team that can help establish a good culture now, and be used as trade pieces later. this year is not the tank year. now 2024-25 - when boozer and cooper flagg are on the draft board? THAT is the tank year. that's the year to go all in and try to get that top 3 pick - and i believe that's the plan. the folks in charge now know what they're doing. the previous folks did not. honestly? i think they'll win around 35 games this year. the same as last year, actually - but will be a lot more fun in getting to the same result. they'll run more, play better defense, and have some young kids who you can actually get excited about. to that note... Bilal Coulibaly is a stud. he has all nba defensive player written all over him, especially given that he's still just 19 years old. Quote:
Quote:
Disney/ESPN/ABC will be the question. They want it back - but will have competition from Comcast/NBC/Peacock. What Disney ultimately ends up doing with ESPN will be a big player here. But the league will get a motherload of cash from Amazon (or Apple or YouTube). The new rules around players, ya know, actually playing in games is specifically aimed at the TV deal. Look for a big global streaming rights package, too. |

Headache, agreed on Middleton. I was talking with a buddy last night and we agreed that Middleton is actually critical to the team this year....or......Beauchamp takes a huge leap, which would be ok too..

I have no idea how the Sixers' season will play out, but I am confident that whatever happens will be torture for Sixers fans.

The stat that TNT just put up - that Jokic has just one less triple double than LeBron all time- is absolutely bonkers crazy.
I could watch this guy play all day. |

Do you think a Harden trade that nets them 2-3 role players and allows Maxey to take over the true #2 role will make them better than they ever would be with James coming back? I sure do.

Thanks Ruckman. As I mentioned, and I've done a predictor, I have the Kings going 70-12, largely thanks to the influence Delly has had on the team as a defensive coach last season.
Not sure how either of you can mention OKC without talking about Josh Giddey, who is already the greatest Australian basketballer and is set to join the league's elite this year. I have OKC going 71-11. My two big smokies for the championship are the Mavs and the Blazers. Both of them have some incredible players in Exum, Green, Thybulle and Reath. The Hawks (with maybe the best leader in the NBA in Mills), Nets, Rockets and the Pelicans are also all great shots. I think it'll be Nuggets vs Bucks, with the TWolves and the Celtics knocked out in the conference finals. Kings to sweep whoever they play in the first round before losing gallantly to the TWolves. Bring on Jazz vs Kings. Can't wait. |

"It was just a lot of talking," Anthony Davis said on media day earlier this month. "We get it, y'all won, but me and Bron had some conversations. ... We can't wait (to play them)."

AD waited all summer to get his revenge.
Nuggets look like they just need to add 1 bench piece before the deadline to replace Bruce Brown and they'll be right back in the finals if healthy. (Or need Christian Braun to take a big step forward on a consistent basis, the kid shows flashes but would need to do it regularly). Their starting 5 is just about flawless for today's NBA. |
