NBA 2022-2023 Regular Season Thread : Donkey Punching Poole Party

Really praying Jrue doesn't end up in Miami or Boston (or if he does his terribly inconsistent playoff shooting goes with him)

Curious what the haul will be for the Blazers.

[Krandor]

The Bulls does make a massive amount of sense for Jrue. They have a generally good roster that unfortunately falls about without Lonzo there. Jrue and Lonzo don't exactly have matching skillets but it's the closest fit out there.

[archibaldcrane]

Do the Bulls have a couple first round picks to spare?

[Krandor]

A quick glance says all their 2024 and 2025 picks are tied up, along with their 2026 and 2027 second rounders

Hey guys

In 11 days we get to watch the Giannis/Lillard PnR in real life

Because they're on the same team

[Andalusian girls]

They just signed him wtf?

[Krandor]

So they definitely only signed him to try to appease Dame who then requested a trade anyways, hilarious

Counting on ancient Horford, undersized Tatum and Porzingis to defend Giannis? Hmm

[Krandor]

Man the Blazers did fucking fantastic overall. Ayton and Timelord are still young guys and could still easily fit in to a timeline of their young guards needing a couple years to develop.

the Celts have usually defended him well but more a by committee thing. Tatum as a primary and Horford rotating is about as good as it gets this side of Kawhi-Gasol. that said every traditional Giannis defense scheme falls apart in the face of Lillard PnR.

also if the Celts still can't defend with the new roster just fuckin shoot Mazulla

Holiday
Brown
Tatum
Porzingis
Horford

is p mean (if healthy, Porzingis has played 50+ games twice in six seasons)

[archibaldcrane]

Watching the White/Jrue/Brown minutes will be interesting.

Curious how much KP and Horford play together or if they play more 3 guards with Tatum at the 4.

Wonder if they flip Brogdon, they don't really need another guard.

But yeah they've done great.

their depth is kinda shitty after all this KP will need to play some center minutes so Tatum at the 4 is a necessity, least some of the time

Man

It's 6 guys and then like, Pritchard and uh, Luke Kornet?

[archibaldcrane]

Cam Payne to the Bucks on a 1 year deal. AG, good pickup for bench depth?

[archibaldcrane]

Don't hate this

[Andalusian girls]

he was a 10-5 guy off the bench for us, can shoot off the dribble + very competent running an offense. don't expect any defense

[archibaldcrane]

We really aren't going to be able to guard anyone under 6'7 are we ; ;
