2023-24 Team Developments: Trades / Free Agents / News / Rumors / Ideas

Murray has some kind of injury whole season it is not looking as bad as Kawhi's but getting there.
The head coach of the defending champion Nuggets said they were “managing” star guard Jamal Murray’s shin splints and that’s why he was sitting out the back-to-back in Portland. There was no mention of, say, “healing.”

“It’s shin splints,” said Malone, “and everything he’s dealing with right now, every time he plays it’s gonna be an issue. This is not second night of a back-to-back ‘resting.’ He is managing an injury. It’s just something we’re just going to have to find a way to figure out. “

 

and if murray doesn't play, reggie jackson will turn into curry like he usually does against the lakers

 

what's that guy's deal with us? usually i know why players want to kill us (e.g., derozan).

 

Residual big bro envy from his days Clipping?

 

Kuzma we know can be a good roleplayer but he's gotten better and Avidja I think can be a good 3 and D type

Can see what the wizards want to do this off-season

 

it was only when we had westbrick. they've had beef going back to the OKC days, so he was extra motivated

 

Jackson can hoop, he was a key factor in the Flippers play-off run a couple of years ago. He kinda reminds me of Jordan Clarkson, sometimes he can go all nuclear, and knock down everything, out to beyond the time-line. Then sometimes he just flat out disappears. Talent wise, those guys could be borderline Allstars, the consistency, makes them role players . Jackson is a great bargain at his salary tho.

 

he's had big moments, but many, many, many more moments where he actively harms his team. they just seem never to happen against us.

 

.
OKC -Lakers WCF confirmed

 

A good look at who can do what this summer

 

Is he in jail again?

 

maybe he feels pity for us after we dumped him for f***ing russ.

 

good rundown. seems like only philly, detroit, and orlando really have max buying power. and that's ok, as there are few FAs worth much (the ones that are should and will most likely stay put, i think).

i think this makes summer trades really interesting, though. there will probably be shuffling of highly-paid vets and picks (think: andrew wiggins types).

 

Welp.. No Brown, no KCP, no Murray..D'Angelo should be jutting and strutting around like a Bantam Rooster tomorrow night. Might be his best game of the season.

 

Welcome Harry Giles!

Wait til your Boy rolls out the 3 guard lineups against their size again …. which BTW, while you keep piling on DLO for freaking ever …. probably cost us game 1 and who knows what might have happened if we had won that game since they were ALL close.

 

I agree about trades and each of those FA spots are interesting to watch this summer.

Detroit has a lot of youth and what was a really good coach, with another top pick coming in this draft; can a veteran leader be the glue that makes them make sense and lift them from mediocrity. On the flip side because they're so s***ty who will want to go there?

Philly has to hit big to keep Embiid happy. But Morey looks worse and worse. This week CP spoke out about how Morey promised he wasn't getting traded to OKC and then he was traded to OKC. Morey is a snake and a liar and does not treat his stars well. He might struggle to get one next to Joel. If he can't and Joel ends up demanding to get out of there then Morey has to get canned.

With Orlando, I think they shocked everyone with just how well they're playing. They're 1 game out of 4th. If they make smart signings sound their youth, they could be 3rd best team in the East next year. Then with Boston's constant injury risks, you never know. I've seen from several places they like Klay, even if he leaves GS I think that's an awful use of their money.
