Re: NBA Off Topic Thread

The players have to be laughing about all that nonsense. No way they really care about that tournament.

But I don't blame the NBA for trying to get people to care about these pre-Xmas games. I always hear people say they don't care about the NBA until then. That's become a cliche.

I don’t mind them *trying* to make them feel different, even though I’ll personally never get excited for winning a championship that doesn’t at least get my team to the actual NBA Finals.

My only thing with this is they now have no excuse to add the Finals logo back onto the court and even the LOB Trophy at half court during the NBA Finals.

Those court designs......

Did they just find someone's old PC mods from NBA Live games and apply it to real life?

Did a 12 year old with 2k’s court creator make these? Way too much going on in most of those.

It feels like the theme is to match the City Edition jerseys. I was thinking how why would go with a color that doesn't feature their home or away jerseys.

I guess it is a way to make it stand out more to have the City Edition jerseys to match the courts. I do think it is too much.

The only thing I like that the trophy is on the court

Re: NBA Off Topic Thread

I still don't have any interest in the tournament. I feel like it's not going to matter until the knockout stage.

I'm someone who doesn't fully likes the format of the Play-in either. I rather it be 8-9-10, than 7-10. I rather it be the final spot up for grabs. I would prefer the winner of the 9-10 matchup faces the 8th seed for the final spot

Harden to the Clips. Random trade in the middle of the night. Kawhi, PG, WB and Harden all dominating the ball. What could go wrong[emoji38] lol

Can't wait to watch them not go deep in the playoffs somehow.

Re: NBA Off Topic Thread

I'm just glad it's over. I didn't think you could just slide Harden into the lineup with the way they were playing. I guess that Clippers weren't playing about Mann lol. I like the trade. Got 2 firsts and a swap for Harden. Got some rotational players, KJ Martin was someone I was intrigued with. It felt like PJ Tucker was a packaged deal with Harden, and Petrusev wasn't going to get minutes here.

It seems like Sixers are leaving their options open. By moving Tucker and not taking back future salary, they opened a lot of a cap space. But l definitely think they're going to wait for the next disgruntled star to ask out and other those picks and salary.

Even though Tucker was a Zero on offense, his impact will be missed. He was the guy they put on the best wing and he was the only guy going for rebounds. I imagine sliding Harris back to PF and inserting someone like Batum to the SF spot.

Bruh.... It just started. I can't wait until he forces the next trade. This has to be the last one right. I put nothing past him.

I love the haul for the Sixers. A ton of 3 and D wings. KJ Martin would be a nice pairing if it was pass offense. But it is what it is.

What a terrible move for the Clippers. This should be fun!

Re: NBA Off Topic Thread

To get 2 first, swap, and 2 seconds for a 34 year old guard that is a FA is the best you can get.

I definitely think the plan is to package those picks plus one of their future firsts with either those expiring contracts/or Harris for a star. The first two names I think of are Zach Lavine and OG. Not sure Lavine would be the best fit and that package is an overpay for OG. Sixers should be a fun team, not a contender, but fun and has depth.

I think Harden should be a good fit. It gives them that playmaker they need and offers shot creation and someone else who can stretch the floor. But if he was complaining about sacrificing last season, he's getting even less touches with the Clippers

I do think Morris can be a good piece. He was away from the team on a similar situation to Crowder with the Suns. He's from Philly and will be motivated.i think he can do the same as Tucker and not be a complete Zero on offense. Feel a little bad for Danny Green. He was saying that if he made the team, he would bring his family up to Philly. But, he doesn't have it anymore. Sixers had a wing depth issues coming into season, not that is temporary solved. They still need a true backup PG and Paul Reed is too much chaos(good and bad).

I hope your prepared for the fact that what they were doing with Giannis over the last year, it’s going to happen with Embiid.

Already starting to happen right now really lol
