EDIT: Now they’re saying Drummond is going to sign with the Nets!?!?! Insane. The Lakers have no chance against them without more help at the center position.

Seriously? I've browsed some news and seen nothing about that rumor of Drummond signing with the Nets.

And I think signing Drummond with the Nets is not possible. The Cavaliers are trying to get a valuable player, a young player, or a future pick, in exchange for Drummond. IIRC there is no available future picks left for Brooklyn Nets since they acquired their Big 3 (correct me if I'm wrong here).

But in case that's true, the Nets will be more pressured to win the chip. It's embarrassing if they failed to win the championship despite having that lineup.

Yes you can see it here https://clutchpoints.com/allen-robinson-claims-andre-drummond-will-sign-nets/ . Dont know on whats the reason of such change yet ive heard off that he's signing with the Lakers.

Huge line up for the Nets, and they also have Griffin in the team, they are more than a super team and I have no doubt they'll easily win a championship this season. The defending champ will bow down to this line up, once this changes happens, I'm sure the odds will change, Nets will be the top favorite to win a championship.

How serious the Nets this season, they are getting every player they think could help them to be successful in their campaign. Aren't this team already hit the salary cap? I'm just wondering because they are signing players with huge contract.

Very serious, I think they are gambling on this year. I mean they got everything and hopefully that the big 3 will be healthy at least for this season, (although Durant is still resting). And to cap it off getting Griffin for insurance policy (yes he is also prone to injury but he can still contribute night in, night out.

Because they know that the big 3 is also ageing, prone to injury, so they might as well shoot everything this season and then see how it goes after that.

Don't be too fast mate, they're not still sure as there are good other teams that are also doing good even without getting an upgrade for their team. But all of us are uniting that this team is possible to get to the finals soon.

I hope that there won't be any severe injury for their key players coming.

True. It's not decided yet until they put their skills to test at playoffs.
That's the most difficult part of this league.
Everything will be showcased and defense will be harder.
Harden had his bad habit of choking during this time but looking at their roster, I think he will have more courage now with KD and Uncle Drew backing him up.
They still have to go thru the 76ers or Bucks then, the strong West to complete it all.

This nets team will be showing the retirement of some older stars like Lebron who will realize they can’t beat a team like this one anytime soon.

Lebron will not retire, he can still play and if his team can't make it to the finals or can't beat the Nets, he can still continue to achieve on individual success as he is breaking record in points, and assists of all time. Nets looks good on paper but until proven, I would not expect a lot though.

I agree,Lebron James wont retire for sometime,i think he has still a lot to go and has the eye for some records to break,plus in a really good team currently. Dont know what they can do against Brooklyn nets this year,they just got all top players after several bad years of being the worst team in the league

Im actually surprised on how things been set-up from roster changes that did really give out some powerhouse teams even more where some of starplayers did really collide on a one team.

About Lebron's retirement then I don't see anything for it to happen on next year or season if he would lost up championship with Lakers for this year.Lots of presumptions but
those aren't proven yet but basing off on those Net's line up then its hard to deny that this team would be on fire.

Lebron would just simply skip off into other team.Right?

YEAH NETS got a good amount of amount of star power , all of them have star appearances ,5 Hall of famers in their starting has never been seen before. It’s astonishing how the nets actually have come out Better than Celtics after that Kevin Garnett trade. only competition would be the Durant Warriors. MJ wishes he was this good a gm, and Lebran wishes he was this good at building superteams

This nets team will be showing the retirement of some older stars like Lebron who will realize they can’t beat a team like this one anytime soon.

Not the most exciting games today, but it’s nice to be back to daily games. Already looking toward the playoffs now that the all star break is in the rear view. With Blake Griffin signed now it seems like the Lakers need to grab Drummond and we’ve got ourselves a finals matchup for the ages.

We have left another All-Star game behind. The result was really interesting (150-170) but I didn't like the game at all. I don't know maybe All-Star games don't appeal to me anymore as I get bored or it was because Durant was injured at "Team Durant" Grin

and Lebron didn't want to wear himself out much.

It's not appealing this time because of the different setup or it's just the crowd isn't live. Maybe in that matter, you are looking for the spirit just as the same as the past all star games.

But they were still able to pass on and make this happen, still congratulations to all of them.

It's an upgrade, and good choice by Griffin, he is not getting any younger, ...

The thing that shocked me was that he is only 31. Same as Klay Thompson and younger then Curry. 20 years ago a 31 year old player could be an old veteran and ready for retire. Today players that are not hit by injuries are in the middle of their prime at that age.

But I agree. He is chasing a ring and there is nothing wrong if he can do that. Even a super good player like Nash could not get a ring. You need to be good and have luck to get one.

He's still young but there are lots of injuries that he already suffered.

Moving to Nets and working again with Jordan, this power duo way back from clippers. Looking forward to see them fly again, with how Harden and Kyrie move the ball adjusting back to how you are playing before might be seen from Blake though he's no longer young and
those monstrous dunks is just a memory from the past. Good move in chasing his quest in winning a ring.

Now, something that I was disappointed was with the Slam Dunk Contest, it seems that every year the level is getting worse. Undecided

Guys, what did you think of this slam dunk contest?

Honestly it's better when it's shorter. One day event is better than whole weekend. Picking a winner instead of giving points in the final dunk looks better to me. There will still be controversy but it's better than point system.
Almost every dunk is made over the years and it's being repetitive now. We can't blame players because of physics laws, what more can you do anyway? J-Rich and Gordon set the bar so high.

Yes, I am amazed at how they did it all in one sweep.
Unlike before where they finish everything for 2-3 days which is for what? Ticket sales? Grin

Maybe it will be better with just one dunk and adding more participants.
There are a lot of high flyers now and should be given a chance. The next year, the champion will participate to defend it with just 1 dunk too.
Declaring the winner will be the same as what they did now.

For me, it's just fine unlike 3 years ago where they made the game a super game. They just played without a purpose.
It's not even entertainment anymore because they are just the ones who are having fun and not the fans.
It's better, especially the 4th quarter.

Who knows, maybe Adam Silver is looking for another way to enhance it.
Give them a different purpose that will make them play harder with joy.

I'm pretty sure Adam Silver have seen the result of this years All-Star game and he knows that fans are pretty much disappointed with the Dunk contest, to say the least. And probably thinking ahead of next year and innovate or probably change the format again. Players do need to be motivated as well so that they will play harder and also have some fun, because that's what this weekend should be.

It's an upgrade, and good choice by Griffin, he is not getting any younger, and together with Harden, they might chase for their first ever NBA ring this season. Although Griffin is plague with so much injuries in the last couple of years, he can still score and contribute to Nets even if they have the big 3.

Yes, he can still have his contribution to the team. This is actually a good upgrade for them. We've been blown up knowing that Harden was the addition last time.
And with this, then it's another blowing up for the fans.

Quote from: Yaunfitda on March 09, 2021, 04:29:39 AM

Just a matter on how coach Nash will manage the time and the rotation of this superstars. And I'm sure Griffin will fit perfectly in the rotation.

Experience wise, he really is perfect for it. But let's see how it will go.
