Best offensive player in NBA history?
Wilt or Kareem

NBA 2024-25 Season Thread
Has to be a troll post. I'm not sure which is less likely. KD wanting to go there or the Wiz wanting him right now. Other than to sell some tickets they'd have no reason to bring him in now.

The Worst Trade in NBA History: Luka traded for AD
I know nothing about TX but what you guys tell me but I was definitely wondering this as well

The only part I will add is that trades are the reason I have never and will never talk about a player leaving any team if they feel they cannot win there. Teams will trade a player the moment they are no longer as useful as they desire no matter their contract status, how much the fanbase loves, etc.

I'll give him a little bit of a pass cause he isnt a Black American but guys really dont do themselves any favors saying this. You can say that you feel controlled or any number of other words than slave.

Talk about horrible fucking timing. Though there is never a good time for a 60% price hike. That shit is insane.

No one is going to come out and publicly disparage a player like that even if that is exactly what he thinks.

The Worst Trade in NBA History: Luka traded for AD
Again, the trade is not smart but come on. Divac? Laimbeer? AD is top 75 all time player and currently a top 10 player. Consistently 1st team defense. All-NBA 2nd team last yr and well on his way to at least that this yr. Dude just had a 40/20 gm. The first 40/20/5ast/4 blk game in the last 30 yrs. Currently avg'ing 27/12 Yall acting like you got a piece of shit back. Getting AD isnt the issue. Not getting additional pieces is the issue.

Nah, the franchise fee for a Vegas team is going to be massive and basically split amongst the current owners. I dont think it would be counted as BRI and consequently wouldnt have to be shared with the players either. I'm seeing numbers as high as 7B. They wouldnt get that with a team moving there and I dont believe they have that same demand to put a team back in Dallas. As you noted, the current owners would have to sign off on the move. They arent giving up that kind of money.

LOL, they chose the perfect colors for the 90s. Everyone had a Hornets Starter back then

Beal's NTC came in Washington when he signed his last deal. He waived it to go to PHX but it still remains in effect until his contract is up.

I know they were on the back end of a back to back but they need to be fined for that shit. Sitting half their team in their only visit to OKC is fucked for fans.

Dallas is a way bigger market than CHA (especially when that move happened) and the Mavs are a WAY bigger brand than the Hornets ever were with far more history.

The Worst Trade in NBA History: Luka traded for AD
Especially when it would be infinitely more lucrative for the league to add a new franchise in Vegas than to move one there.

No, I just dont think there is anything he could say that would placate the fanbase. The deal is done.

This Knick/Rocket game is REALLY good. Brunson and Amen going back and forth.

Yeah, if he was that pressed to ring chase he wouldnt have signed with SA in the first place.

Yeah, I've seen that they were so desperate to get Lavine's contract off their books but why? No one is signing there. They just subsidized SA getting Fox. SA basically gave up nothing. The 2031 MIN pick MIGHT end up good if Ant decides to dip.

They were pretty adamant that they werent going to include Castle in the deal. I was just trying to figure out what CP3's move would be. I dont know that any contender would trade for him. Plenty would give him a spot if he was bought out but I'm not sure where he would fall in any contender's rotation.

The Worst Trade in NBA History: Luka traded for AD
Nope The whole reason they went to that philosophy was because Luka was so bad and the worst part was he didnt even try.

The Worst Trade in NBA History: Luka traded for AD
It was just shown on Get Up that he gets blown by more than any defender in the league. Literally the worst

Why the fuck would they do that?!?!?!! Yall complaining about AD being old and injury-prone but thinking they will go get an older and more injury-prone guy?
