2020-21 Around the NBA Thread

[Proximo]

After the Clippers gave up so much for Paul George in the trade with OKC, they double down. They better be right.

Well they did not have a lot of choice.

Either lock him up or let him opt out after the year.

At least this way they keep him as a tradeable asset.

Personally after what I have heard about the way him and Kawai are acting, I don't think there is a chance in hell that team is winning anything. It's still a team game.

Wow. What a disgrace of a human being.

Kyrie is a complete cancer. If there is any way at all Houston would take him for Harden I would ship him out so fast his head would spin.

Agree, the Clippers didn't have much choice with all the assets they traded to OKC for George. I'm skeptical of it working there as well.

However, sometimes the return is not always optimal like when the Rockets traded Russell Westbrook.

I don’t want him if I’m Houston. He’s a weasel and not worth the hassle.

Bulls Rockets

wall is still quick

cousins is slow

colby white sucks. Glad we didn’t end up with him

 

[Proximo]

Obi toppin looks real good for the knicks. Killian Hayes looks really raw.

 

[Proximo]

Wall and cousins both look pretty good for the rockets. They may be playoff contenders after all.

First it’s the bulls. Second they’re both injury prone. Harden is pretty much out.

 

[95pro]

Improved Hawks lose to the Magic. It’s only preseason though.

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

One preseason game hot takes are amazing.

It's basically a practice game...no way to know who will be a contender

 

[JCSunsfan]

Wall and Cousins are both good players. If they are reasonably healthy, they should be good.

Recommendation by rules NBA Competition Committee is to expand active NBA rosters to 15 players.

I thought coaches challenge and timeout should be returned if successful but it remains status quo.

I wasn't quite sure where to put this.

Keyontae Johnson is ranked #13 in the 2021 Tankathon mock draft.

Thoughts and prayers for this young man.

have they said what happened

The last I heard, Keyontae Johnson was in critical but stable condition. I'm uncertain if it is related to COVID-19. He reportedly tested positive for it.

It’s just preseason but Jerami Grant must be regretting joining the pistons.

I doubt it.

In a sign and trade with the Nuggets, Grant signed with the Pistons for 3 years worth $60 million.

That should make any man happy.

He was apparently high on their board as well.

Yeah, so close. Early on there were rumors he might go to the Warriors.

 

[Mainstreet]

A. Pokusevski had 14 points and 8 rebounds for the Thunder in their opener.

Surprised he slipped that close.
