NBA 2021-22: Ben Simmons and Kyrie Walk Into A Bar While Talking About The Lakers

[Diemen]

JR Smith names Matthew Dellavedova the greatest competitor he's seen

All this talk about Steph Curry joining the game's upper echelon of best players, MJ vs Lebron, are we just going to ignore Delly? The MOST competitive player JR Smith has EVER seen.

Lol. Never change, cobbler.

 

[Hewson]

Of course JT Smith is a well known blithering idiot.

[Diemen]

Plus there's that part of the article that says that guarding Curry almost killed Delly, so...

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

to be fair many players have almost died, or rather had their careers ruined by from cheap shots, after being guarded by Delly

 

[LuckyNumber7]

They call him Delly in the UK, but he’s actually Della in Australia.

Are the poor wittle Americans a bit scared of real, FIBA basketball?

The Nets are a relevant franchise..

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

all of the picks houston got from brooklyn in the harden trade are unprotected.

"Fuck Brooklyn"

[Hewson]

Guess Kyrie coming back wasn't what he wanted.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

to brooklyn
ayton and parts
westbrook and draft picks

kd to phoenix
kyrie to LA

watch.

Houston would love that.

imagine the three point percentage of a westbrook ben simmons backcourt?

[DaveC]

koloko already took #35, and nobody will ever wear #7 for the raptors again, so which number do you guys think KD will switch to?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

phoenix, miami, dallas, denver, knicks, hawks

of course the Nets don't have to listen to his list and can trade him anywhere they want. alas - that's the list.

 

[iron yuppie]

Contracts for stars really are meaningless anymore aren’t they.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

The LAKERS have signed Lonnie Walker IV and Troy Brown Jr.

Neither move is consequential and will not help them at all, but I'll give you one guess which agency represents both of them.

 

[Hewson]

Brogdon for Theis, Nesmith, Headache, Hewson, phanan and a 2023 1st rounder. Not bad.

Makes Marcus Smart kind of expendable.


The sum of Marcus Smart and Jaylen Brown's 22-23 salaries are almost identical to Kevin Durant's 22-23 salary. Coincidence?

 

[iron yuppie]

Hot take for you Boston fans: if Durant is coming, keep Brown and move Tatum.

I'm just glad Theis was part of it. Guy was useless.

I like it for the Celtics. Gets them a bonafide point guard and a decent scorer.

Impossible not to like it. They gave up basically nothing.
Theis is a doorstop. Nesmith has never come close to his potential (I suppose he could eventually blossom, but they can't afford to wait, their window is now, Indiana can be more patient with him). And the other 3 are just salary matching filler.
The pick will likely be in the high 20's so that's in all likelihood a pretty useless commodity as well.

Stevens is the anti-Ainge when it comes to draft picks. Ainge hoarded them like gold, Stevens has been on the job for just over a year and has traded away 3 straight #1's.

 

[cobl04]

You could use a competitive beast, a certain Australian star fits the bill.

 

[Hewson]

Chris Hemsworth?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Men At Work. They really get after it in the recording studio.

Yeah, but they don’t wanna work.

 

[Hewson]

They will for a vegemite sandwich.

 

[iron yuppie]

I was in Mexico last week. A lot of people asked where we were from, and we would tell them Chicago. This one guy says, "oh yeah, I loved the Bulls! Dennis Rodman and those guys!" I must have found the only person in North America who associates the 90s Bulls with Dennis Rodman over Michael Jordan.
