I believe that Chet just had a freak accident and it wasn't even his first year at all, dude got injured during the summer. So if he goes to gym, gets buffed and gets better physique until next season, then he will be much more ready. What people do not understand is that the difference between college and NBA help is a lot, and I mean like driving a regular car vs being on a rocket ship type of difference.

I am not saying he could have Giannis levels of difference, but I am sure he will get a bit more buff, just a bit. That's why I believe that we should be waiting for 2023-2024 season to start and he will look a lot more different and be a lot better.

With basketball as your profession, anyone could buff themselves up whenever they want it. Because they all have the focus to enhance themselves in every possible way unlike when you're still in college. These kids work hard to reach this far. Now, what they'll gonna do is to work harder than before as they just entered the league of the best basketball players in the world. So, yeah everyone is expecting for Chet to enhance his physical appearance and make it more solid.
This kid got potential as he has the skills of a guard and he still have a lot time in the NBA and a lot of time to improve. So, this 1 season he'll miss won't mean anything as long as he continue working regardless of the injury.

Aside for doing more extra efforts to became more better player they also need to do extra care since your potential will go into waste if you are injury prone player. And I guess the current injury accumulated by Chet is totally bad for his career since imagine how big the impact with it for not playing for his whole rookie season.

Not good because he was expected to have a great rookie, but we can never guess what will happen, basketball is a physical sport, injury could happen anytime. Well, if he will be out for the whole season, he just have to make sure he will do everything to start strong and make a name in the NBA.

This also mean that he really need to work with his physique since basketball is physical sports and those veterans will surely hit him hard on the hard court. Also maybe from this he can minimize his critical injuries. This is unfortunate for him because he was so hype before season starts and I'm wondering now if he can still deliver good performance next season.

Good example and for me, Chet has a big future with his skills and that outside shooting more on developing while he's resting

for this upcoming season, He doesn't need to be de-motivated. A lot of stars like PG, Kawhi and KD suffer from major injuries but they managed

to work it out and be great when they comeback and play. Self-determination and good discipline while in the process of recovering.

He's probably feeling bad that the season hasn't started yet and then he's already out. Yeah, he doesn't have to be feeling demotivated. He's still young and there will be the next season for him. Although too many are excited to see him for his plays this season but he can't do anything with that anymore. We might just look at the other draftees that are already preparing themselves for this upcoming. Just shape his body and keep on working out, add some mass on his body and comeback stronger.

But the experience he could've gained from this upcoming season would be a big help for his personal growth especially since he is expected to be in the center with the likes of Giannis and Embiid, I bet he is now regretting the injury he acquired as not worth it at all and it cost him not to play for a whole season in the NBA.

But yeah, things happen for a reason and Chet should just use this free time he got to train more and get buffed by training with weights. That could be a big help too.

Carmelo Anthony? Good numbers and stats? I mean don't get me wrong he is not a "bad" player but he doesn't look like the type of player that would make any changes for a club and I am assuming that the best thing for the club would be getting someone who would be helping them right away. Injuries aside, Irving, Seth Curry, Joe Harris, Simmons, Durant.

Getting Carmelo Anthony is not for the purpose of changing the whole club. How come it leads to that purpose?

It's just to boost primarily the bench squad on which the Nets are really lacking. Can you name some worthy players on their bench? Melo can do some good production as a bench player and he still has the capability of doing it.

The best part is, the team can sign Melo in a veteran contract that can save them bucks for their future plans.

Melo is not expensive anymore unlike before when he was a superstar in the league. Some people will have to lower their expectations on Melo. The guy is cheap and old but he can help as a bench player and if not given playing time then expect the Nets to use him during team practice, motivates the young players and camaraderie. And I am not even a big supporter of Melo during his time in Denver and New York. But he is a changed man after accepting lesser roles.

He's out of his prime and bit slow on defensive end so its good for everybody to lower down their expectation because maybe he cannot deliver well what they expect to him. But he's still a good asset since he has still good shooting hands and can contribute well in this area so I guess they sign him for offensive addition.

That's the reason why the Lakers signed him, but we can really see that he is becoming a liability on the defensive end. Only Lebron who is already old but can still play great defense but Melo is obviously past his prime. Melo can contribute, but he can only play limited minutes in order for his +- to be acceptable IMO.

Here's an article that talks a little bit about why picking up Patrick Beverly makes it very likely that Russell Westbrook will be out the door sooner than later.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nba/the-lakers-acquiring-patrick-beverley-makes-it-more-likely-that-russell-westbrook-will-be-traded-or-sent-home-says-team-insider/ar-AA1175Za?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=cbb820dfa584252781ee54cfb0f5ef9d

I was surprised to see in the article that they're predicting Westbrook will be moved by the start of training camp. That's right around the corner. If that's true, we could see an announcement as early as the end of next week that Russell Westbrook has been traded for Buddy Hield.

This is flooding my social media account, I don't know why, I don't even follow PatBev. Cheesy

Why drag THT in the process? That's a young player on his way to being an average roleplayer. A backup. I think the Lakers lost at this trade but it doesn't mean I am underrating PatBev, that veteran got a lot of heart for the game, is very competitive and the goal is always to win.

About the Westbrook issue, I believe yes they might trade him but it will still depend on how much the Pacers are offering, if the Lakers won't find it fair then we might not see a close.
Rumors have it that it's Buddy Hield and Myles Turner on the line. I doubt about the Pacers letting go of the big star Turner.

That would be to the benefit of the Lakers if the trade will happen.

Turner could be a good backup for Davis or will play as a center, while Buddy Hield could help Lebron since he is an accurate shooter. Imagine, how big they are if that's the line considering the trade will happen.

This is just a rumor but I'm excited for this to be realized, maybe Westbrook does not really fit in a team that he is not the main man.

What I wish is for the kid Chet is to not let this become a mental problem. It's just an injury it will heal and he can still go back.
Lisfranc injury is said to take a year before it heals fully. That will mean we should not expect for him even if the OKC go far as post season.

Yes, he really should. Let the whole year be his comfort year to be fully prepared and healthy for next season.

Remember Joel Embiid, he was sidelined for 2 seasons after he was drafted by the Philadelphia Sixers. That's even worst since he might think he's already a burden to the team. That might affect his mentality too during that time to play hard once he gets back.

But now, looked at Embiid, showing monster performance every season. Chet should just take things easy and focus on his recovery.

Good example and for me, Chet has a big future with his skills and that outside shooting more on developing while he's resting

for this upcoming season, He doesn't need to be de-motivated. A lot of stars like PG, Kawhi and KD suffer from major injuries but they managed

to work it out and be great when they comeback and play. Self-determination and good discipline while in the process of recovering.

Exactly, he can certainly recover, I'm seeing him like a future Kevin Durant of the NBA, he got the height and the skills in ball handling, so even though he will be out for a whole season, OKC would still be optimistic that he'll be a big help once he comes back.

If that's the case then I think it will be a win-win situation for the Lakers.

They acquired a good defender and a decent 3-point shooter in Beverley and now they are trading Westbrook which obviously doesn't fit for the team to another shooter again in Hield. Well, I will wait till next week with the announcement regarding Lakers and Westbrook. For sure this will be another drama again but TBH, many including me will not be surprised if this trade will push through since many already are saying to Westbrook that he must be traded because of how awful he played last season.

By the way, it's funny that the Nets are already planning how they'll use Simmons, but they don't take into account that he might find some excuse to miss another season again.

Does it really a priority to think of what will be Simmon's behavior next season? Of course, the Nets will only think of how to utilize Simmons.

Think mate, what on earth are they doing if they will focus on Simmons might miss some games next season.

Simmons does have the same role on some of the Nets starters. It needs a plan early for some adjustments.

Anyway, there's this rumor that I find it funny because it was reportedly said in the article that the Brooklyn Nets could put Ben Simmons in the center in this upcoming season and I said to myself "are they serious? because that could be a reason that Simmons would throw his tantrums again" Grin

https://fadeawayworld.net/nba-media/ben-simmons-could-play-as-center-for-the-nets-this-upcoming-season

I'm pretty sure the Nets are going to try out different starting lineups. So maybe Simmons will play a few games as a center, but it's unlikely he'll play that role throughout the season. At least I can't imagine how Simmons will compete with centers like Jokić, KAT, Gobert, Embiid, and others. By the way, it's funny that the Nets are already planning how they'll use Simmons, but they don't take into account that he might find some excuse to miss another season again.

There won't be one game where Simmons will play center. Zero, he will play point when he is on the court or at worst the 3, he is tall enough for it. Otherwise it creates too much of a mismatch when on defense. He can handle, that is his strength, why take that away, he would be useless as a 5 on the court.

It's not going to happen on a normal set up but it may happen if things gets worst like both their centers ends up injured and all other possible back ups are unavailable. The makeshift team will be Irving or Mills handling the ball while KD remains as a forward. The situation looks really unlikely and even funny to think of that possibility but who knows?

I wonder how many times a day Lebron wishes he would have chosen DeMar DeRozan instead of Russell Westbrook lol. I wonder how much they’ll actually be able to get back for Westbrook. Perhaps it’s one of those situations where it’s not so much what they get back but just getting him and his salary off the roster.

In that case, he should continue in getting more weight (right after the healing period), so he will be able to compete with the strong Centers in the NBA. Giannis did not enter the NBA with the kind of body he has now, he was also thin, so there's a chance that Chet could improve in the areas where we think he is weak.

Poor kid, just an observer for the entire season. Yeah, Giannis isn't that thick when he's already in his prime. It's a process for him and part of his growth.
Chet had already at that moment too early and didn't even see the glimpse of playing during the official season. He can do everything he can for now or whatever will the OKC is going to instruct him. He might even be traded if the OKC would love to do so for the next season.

I’m not expecting that Simmons can provide that kind expectation play that you are just assuming after he comes back but having him as PG assuming he will be performing in his prime will gonna give Nets an edge for the upcoming season if KD and Kyrie didn’t trade successfully but since these players heart is not with the Nets anymore then I doubt they can provide an explosive performance on the upcoming regular season for Nets because we alp know that there Playoffs choke gives them a major turn off.

They really need to have a better 6th man to give relieve to the team once starters is resting because this is there main problem aside from Seth Curry being not effective on crucial times of the game.

That is why Durant suggested recently to the management that they need to acquire Carmelo Anthony because they should have enough reserve in the bench who is already proven and actually produce good numbers if it will be given some time while the main line-up is taking some time to rest for a bit.

These are the players that could provide something to the club as far as I can see, if they want to be good then they should be getting something much better and something that would be like a great big, or a passer big or whatever. This is not what Carmelo is, Whiteside is open and free I believe, someone like him (not just him, anyone like that) would be much better for them.
