Around the NBA: Week 24 (4/1 - 4/7)

[Kryptonic]

Bronny's declaring for the NBA draft.

Curious where he'll fall and how much this effects the draft given Lebron saying he wants to play with Bronny.

[Split T]

I would honestly draft him if he’s on the board…LeBron still has a few years left and he’d be a perfect big wing facilitator.

[Mori Chu]

Some big questions about Bronny and the draft. Will top teams really be willing to draft Bronny, who seems to basically not be an NBA-level player, just so that they have a chance to lure Lebron Sr.? Will Lebron actually follow through with his pledge to go to whatever team drafts Bronny? Really? Even if it's, like, Toronto or Detroit or some other horrible team? It seems like that doesn't really help you long-term if you're a truly bad team like Toronto, Charlotte, Portland, Detroit, or Washington. So who's the first team that would bite? Memphis? Houston? Chicago? OKC? Philly?

Ugh. I don't want our first championship to be tied to Lebron.

For KD it would be special because it would be his only ship away from Steph and it would be about Booker and KD and Phoenix.

It would forever be tied to just another Lebron stop.

[Split T]

Eh I don’t care. I want to win one…we can get another one without LeBron later.

As for teams drafting Bronny to get LeBron…there are only a few teams where it makes sense imo. GS should do it. Basically a team that is all-in on win now right now. So Phoenix, GS, Milwaukee, Dallas…maybe Philly

[Flagrant Fowl]

What a ridiculous thing to be tight about. What, is someone gonna come knock on your door to tell you it's not real and take it away if Player X is on the team?

IDGAF who's on the team if they win a title.

I think this is going to be an issue.

Pels and Kings lost tonight…pretty huge for us snagging the 6 seed

Do we want the 6th seed????

I have no idea who I want to face in the playoffs. I really don't want to see the Clipps or the Mavs, TBH

[TOO]

I want the Mavs, if they can beat them they can beat anyone. That team is built to beat the Suns.

It would be fun to take out the Mavs in the opening round.

[Charlie Smithy!]

And if we can't do that, we can at least take them out to dinner

Ya Mavs and clips will be 4/5…6 we’d get whoever ends up 3 between Minny, Denver, and OKC

[Mori Chu]

I didn't realize that the Wolves had climbed back to #1 in the West. Right now it's 1 Wolves, 2 Nuggets, 3 Thunder:

Minny and Denver are tied and OKC is 1 game back.

Of those 3, I think we want to play Minny most, then Denver (we've had decent luck against them, but they're the champs and would have home court advantage) and OKC least (too much youth, athleticism, firepower).

I guess you don't read my game day thread posts.

OKC seems to be throwing the 1 seed…makes me wonder if they are scared of LA in round 1….they have been resting SGA and Jalen Williams…more likely they are banged up and would rather have a healthy squad going into the playoffs…but it does make me think. Lakers are a bad matchup for them.

We just need to get Minny out of that top spot and into 3rd.

Crybabies who're the type to turn down being laid for the first time because the paint on the walls is the wrong color.
