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. Smiley


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?

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.

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.

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.

I don't think that Simmons can be a "shooting" guard, we all know that his one of his weak points, he can't shoot outside. He is more of a drive by player and assists man, so really a point guard. So now sure how they can space things up with Kyrie and Ben at the same time. Or it could be Irving and Simmons alternating as PG for the Nets, and then KD doing his thing and then Seth as their shooting guard. But we will have to see what kind of adjustment Nash will do with his 3 superstars that might overlap the position.


I would like to see them playing small, with Joe, Kyrie, Seth, Ben and KD with good ball movement. This lineup inside may work for

the Nets. Even in this small squad all are also good in defense, though Seth might be the weak side if in case he needs to guard a much bigger

and quicker star, but all four do know how to play tight defense if needed. It's more on how Nash will design their plays and what kind of system

that will fill the weak side, just like how the Warriors, when they are playing small, offense become their defense and it can be duplicated or can

be enhanced if all these players inside will be determined to win a game together.

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.

About Beverley's relationship with the other Laker stars, I think they are professional enough to get pass through their past trash talks. Trash talk is part of the game and they understand that. Now that they are playing together, they can put aside their previous grievance in order to achieve their goal this season.

They should start working themselves together though because their chance to play in the Finals this season or at least in the playoffs will decrease gradually, I bet they don't want that especially now almost all of them in the roster is quite old enough to even consider retirement.

Right thing to do is to set aside their personal beefs and build chemistry instead. Also, I'm quite curious to know this coming season why Darvin Ham chose to keep WB and of course how would the Brooklyn Nets perform after all the drama.

This season he wasn't going to play much anyway.  Just because offensively he is polished, there is zero way he can guard an nba center or even power forward in the post.  He would be a liability on defense.  Jabari has much more of an nba body to be able to defend the post.  My guess is chet was only gonna see around 10 or so minutes a game anyway, when the other teams go small ball.
That was a big issue before he entered the NBA. He might want to work that out while resting, more carbo.  Grin
I agree that Jabari is more fit to be a rising star than him. Speed, strength, they need that now more than anything. Sure, a shooter had become a phenomenon because of Steph and others but in the defensive end, they won't matter much. (Steph though made a lot of progress in his defense)
Maybe he could borrow some fats from Zion.  Grin
One is trying to trim (added weight loss clause contract) and the other is being criticized for being too thin.

Too bad that the young lad had to suffer an injury early in his career but it's a good preparation for his career. He already started some weight training and shooting exercises as mentioned in the article so he could be scary when he returns. Chet has a decent shot outside and he could reach Toni Kukoc's level or maybe surpass it.

It's fine he's not the only one who had hurt himself before his NBA debut and made an amazing season after that. Most likely they will still gonna have some light practice to condition their body and will gonna be ready once they are fully recovered just like Zion Williamson this upcoming season. It's not just his time yet this season and maybe when he gets back he is fully aware of what role he gonna play to further strengthen their team.
I was hoping I could witness early on why he was picked by OKC rather than Jabari Smith. We might not see that in this season. Yes, this is just like the expectation with Zion, the only difference was Zion was the number 1 pick and even after resting for a year the hype doesn't end although Ja Morant had proven so much being a pro than him.

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.

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.
A very disappointing news, he is a rookie that could make his name in the NBA due to his great skills. Injury is really killing an NBA player's dream, hopefully he will recover soon, missing one whole season is really disappointing on his part as well.

We have seen a lot of players getting lost in time because they had to face a lot of injuries in their careers. Greg Oden is just like one of them. He had a really promising career but just because of injuries he could not continue playing basketball. I don’t think anything like that is going to happen with Chet. I believe he will be able to make it come back in spite of his injury. It is true that he is going to miss the current season (most probably). But I expect him to recover and come back very strong.

Chet is out for this season if I am not wrong. Because of Lisfranc injury, he is gonna miss the 2022-23 season. I hope he is gonna recover soon. He was the number 2 draft pick by the way. This is going to be very bad news for Oklahoma City there will be missing the service office really great player which is not ideal. But at the same time, it is not the end of the world for them in my opinion. I think they will be able to manage.

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.

Best to take it as good timing in preparing his body. After he saw those physicalities, it's best for him

and for his training camp to focus on adding more muscles, he has the speed and the shooting touch, but NBA is not just
like an ordinary venue, he needs to be stronger for him to create a good impact.

One season for resting his injury and for a good preparation on his upcoming debut playing, looking for the best outcome.

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.
