Around the NBA: Week 13 (1/15/24 - 1/21/24)

[ShelC]

Giannis is out.

[Superbone]

Toronto is up 47-18 on Miami in their first game without Siakam

Obviously, Siakam was holding them back. Addition by subtraction.

[Superbone]

[Mori Chu]

Wow. Crazy stat.

[Superbone]

Only a third?!

[ShelC]

Pretty good game between the Magic and Hawks last night. Jalen Johnson is quietly having a really good year and did this last night

[Bucktastic365]

I miss having someone that can do that on our team.
Could you imagine if we had an Amare type player in this team?

[Kryptonic]

Better yet, could you imagine Nash? This team would be filthy with a facilitator like him.

[Wally_West]

Nets going to separate the twins?


Nurk and little for Mikal?

I know you nerds will be like, “hey they that deal makes no sense”

Rumor is they want to get rid of Claxton too! So Nurk would fill a need!

“Nets would want 1st round picks!”

No shit, that’s why we sent all of ours to them last year! You nerd.

Little and Okogie and multiple 2nds for Royce O’Neale works too.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Can you imagine if this team had Michael Jordan? WOW!

I don't want to make anyone feel unwelcome, but this team has one of the best scoring forwards of all time right now, so try to not be inconsiderate.

Everyone is doing their best to win a title and we're all frustrated when they don't the standard we've created. At least give this group a chance before comparing them to other generational lineups.

Nurkic is better than Claxton for this team.

Somehow turning anyone but Allen into Cam Johnson would cause me to celebrate in ways that I prefer not to describe here.

[Mori Chu]

Nurk, Little, and 10 1st round pick swaps for Mikal. Who says no? BKN then owns Suns next 27 draft picks. Seems fair.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Brooklyn says no and blocks your number.

[Split T]

Dorian Finney-Smith is the guy I’d target from them. He’s the guy I’d be worried we trade Grayson for as well. He adds a little more size and defense..but not the same shooter. Though he’s a solid shooter. Grayson can do more off the dribble too.

It would take 4 players to get him without Allen though. Little and 3 minimum guys. Not sure Brooklyn would do that. I’d take Royce O’Neal, but he doesn’t address our size issue on the wing.

[TOO]

DFS = Dude Fuckin Sucks.

No shot id trade Allen for him.

[Wally_West]

Yeah I’m just not into trading Allen.

Royce O’Neale is probably the only realistic target we could get on that team. He’s smaller but I feel he does play bigger than he is, plus doesn’t he has a 7’1” wingspan too? That’s the only player I’d be interested in on that team. Don’t see how we could get anyone else on that team.

[Flagrant Fowl]

To hell with that. Given the leverage the Suns have with re-signing Allen, I'd need a significant upgrade to deal him now. Like, near All-Star level upgrade.

That's not happening, so Nas Little is the only bait left on the hook.

I think he’s a solid role player but dude is way over hyped. They asking multiple 1st? Smh.

This. Unless we getting a fuckin star, trading Allen makes no sense.

[bajanguy008]

This keeps getting lost in the trade chatter but it has me thinking if there's been anything like this where a sudden death or player/coach resulted in postponed games.

So many parts to wonder about here but sigh....



I don't know anything about him. Would hate to think this is this season
