2023-24 Around the NBA Thread

I'm not a fan of Dillon Brooks, but he is not as bad player. There was a time Suns fans thought they had traded for him.

I'd consider him on a reasonable contract.

IMO, he got way too carried away with projecting a macho image last season.

He is a bad player. He is a flat out awful player. I am not kidding, even if not for his macho act, I wouldn't want him.

Again, statistically, Shamet is a far far better player than Brooks.

He is extremely overrated on defense and on offense he is a horror show. An extremely selfish player who loves to shoot despite being one of the worst shooters in basketball.

Whoever gets him will be worse as a result.

His career offensive rating is 102, his career defensive rating is 113. The damage he has been doing to Memphis is insane. Those stats are Beasley level bad.

I would have taken a chance on Bradley Beal a few years back to pair with Devin Booker. Of course I would have tried a Booker-Bridges backcourt as well.

The only game I got to this last season, Beal beat us up in our own house, LOL! Almost single handedly at the end!

Big time UGH.

More or less. He's a social media "journalist."

We have been there and done that at last season's trade deadline.

I know. That's how I knew it wasn't going to happen, because I wanted it to!

I knew there would be all these gems available this summer but it's no fun without any chips to play.

I don't think KD and Green are "cool" with each other

Is he really going to make more in free agency?

 

[Mainstreet]

I don't want any part of Green.

 

[Mainstreet]

Is he really going to make more in free agency?

Apparently he must think so. This makes me feel better about Ayton's contract.
