Scottie Barnes is a superstar in the making or is he another Derozan/ Siakam in Toronto?

25 Mar 2024 15:56:23
I'd like to hope that he becomes a superstar, but he doesn't seem like he has what it takes to become a true no.1, top 12 player. I'd love to be proven wrong though.

Besides, DeRozan was our best player throughout a time period where we consistently made playoffs as a top-5 team. He was traded for Kawhi, that led to a ring. Siakam was the number 2 on that championship team, and led us for four more years putting up really impressive numbers. Those aren't bad comparisons for Scottie, if he can get there, I think most of us will be happy.

Thunder
Wolves
Nuggets
Clippers
Pelicans
Kings
Suns
Mavericks
Warriors
Lakers

For all these teams. Who would be their best case and worse case matchup wise in Playoffs?

18 Mar 2024 03:57:12
If Wolves and Thunder ends up at 1,2, they will in trouble whoever will be the 7th and 8th seed except for the Lakers.

10 Mar 2024 11:21:16
Four teams need to sign players:
1. Minny Twolves
2. NY Knicks
3. Philly 76ers
4. Det Pistons

Top buyout players available:
1. Marcus Morris
2. Danuel House
3. Killian Hayes
4. Joe Harris

10 Mar 2024 13:58:09
With KAT & Randle out, Morris can help Wolves or Knicks.

03 Mar 2024 07:27:23
How the regular season will end:

West:

1 Nuggets
2 Wolves
3 Thunder
4 Clippers
5 Kings
6 Warriors
7 Suns
8 Pelicans
9 Mavs
10 Lakers

Feels like warriors are securing a spot. Suns and Kings could change place though

East

1 Celtics
2 Bucks
3 Cavs
4 Sixers
5 Knicks
6 Magic
7 Heat
8 Pacers
9 Bulls
10 Hawks

Heat would love to play the Bucks or Celtics round 1 lol

Move Pelicans to #5 and slide everyone down.

02 Mar 2024 01:40:22
Hey Gasupo. Did you catch the Pels and Pacers this week? Pacers have a great squad with Slakam now

04 Mar 2024 23:01:02
no :- (, working to hard this week. The Pelicans kicked our ass :-)

I really like what they did.
We have two stars in Hali and Siakam, a young talent in Mathurin, good roll players in Turner and Nesmith and a deep bench.
I think we're one asset away to become a real contender.

05 Mar 2024 12:20:33
Pacers should go and try to trade for Mikal Bridges.

05 Mar 2024 20:00:18
I think both the Pacers and Pels are one player away. In the case of the Pels they need a play making ball handling true PG. I also think both teams are scary first round matchups.

06 Mar 2024 07:58:32
Bridges would be great. But would the Nets trade him for picks?

Who do you want for the Pelicans?

06 Mar 2024 18:07:01
I still think Murray would be a great fit.

Looking at the teams who will be in the playoffs..

In West, 10 teams:
Minny, Okc (2 young teams on the top of west), Nuggets (defending champ), Clips, Suns (2 powerhouse teams with 3-4 allstar players), Mavs, Sac, Pels (3 promising young teams) and of course the top 2 fan favorite teams in NBA, Lakers and Warriors

In East, Im locking in the 8 teams
Celtics (this year's number one record), Giannis&Dame's Bucks, Joel "the MVP"team Sixers, Brunson's Knicks, DMitch's Cavs, Pacers&Heat (2 kryptonite teams) and Pao&Franz Magic

leaving out Bulls(no Zach), Hawks(no Trae for a month),Nets (looking for their chemistry with their new coach), Raptors (one of the top trade sellers)

26 Feb 2024 09:14:30
Among the late 90's-early 2000's players. Who fits perfectly in today's era?

Kobe & Duncan are obvious

Iverson
Nash
Dirk
Tmac
Ray Allen
Rashard Lewis
Sheed

22 Feb 2024 09:49:39
Make your ideal 12 man USA team for this year 2024 starting with LeBron, Curry and Durant..

23 Feb 2024 03:44:49
Curry/ Lillard/ Holiday
Booker/ Edwards
Lebron/ Tatum/ PG (redemption)
Durant/ Melo (one last ride)
Adebayo/ AD.

07 Mar 2024 14:28:48
Embiid/ Adebayo
LeBron/ Davis
Durant/ Tatum
Booker/ Edwards
Curry/ Haliburton/ Lillard

Cant decide between Kawhi or Butler.

18 Feb 2024 10:57:15
Should T Duncan have more considerations in the GOAT conversation?

T Duncan
5 Titles
3F MVP's
2MVP
15 All NBA teams
15 All defensive teams
0 superstars
4 stars: Parker/Ginobili/old D Robinson/ young K Leonard

LBJ
4 Titels
4 FMVP's
4 MVP
19 All nba teams
6 All defensive teams
4 superstars: A Davis/ Irving/Bosh/D Wade
1 star: K Love

20 Feb 2024 18:42:04
First mistake is comparing him to Lebron instead of comparing him to the GOAT.

21 Feb 2024 02:19:17
I don’t think Duncan has an argument for top 3. Jordan, Lebron, and Kareem have those spots to me.

I do think you could make an argument he’s in the next tier with Magic. I’d put Russell in that second tier too, but I get why people don’t.

I also could see if you think Duncan is in the next (bigger) tier with Bird, Shaq, Kobe, Steph, Wilt.

22 Feb 2024 09:48:09
If he only plays like Shaq. he would be competing against Kareem.

22 Feb 2024 14:17:01
@nightcap
I don't compare him with Jordan, because he is the GOAT
I compare him with LBJ, because LBJ is in the conversation.

15 Feb 2024 09:20:41
Allstar replacement for Kawhi??
Fox or Sabonis??

20 Feb 2024 04:35:06
Reports out of Sac is both players turned it down because of family plans during the break.

12 Feb 2024 17:30:55
KNICKS need to sign players..
Randle, OG and Mitchell are still out..
