You might be right about paul and harden not being a good combination there is a reason for that. Chris is a pure point guard and is best paired with someone who can play off the ball like klay Thompson can. Harden needed the ball all the time which negates Paul's PGA creativity. Westbrook's is a little bit just like harden so we'll see.

Harden will be a better point guard that Westbrook although westrbrook have almost triple double in this previous team but we know he is stat padding.
This is hard combination to mend actually but the Rockets allowing this to happen, they should see something we don't see.

.....and Jeremy line was never a star. He had 15 minutes of fame with New York but that was it.

That wasn't just one game, he was able to do that in many games with NYC while their star player was injured but when Melo came back, Lin was not anymore given a chance.

I dont think Westbrook's stat pads, he was forced to he that aggressive player on okc based on the style of play. Will be interesting to see how him and harden change.

And lin was not given a chance again to be the man because he just isnt that good. Is is alright in terms of role Ayers but he is/was never near star level. He had a good couple of games on a very bad team.

It makes no sense because it was a question asked by a reporter and GM just responded, if someone asks the GM "will you supermax Giannis" then he obviously will say "yes" and move on, that is not something weird or even unexpected, like we all knew that Giannis was getting the supermax, anything other than that would have been weird to begin with, dude is a MVP and such a great guy personally as well and tries to improve himself all the time, why wouldn't bucks sign him to supermax.

NBA league office just went too overboard with this, league is doing great all of its own without any need from the league office so sometimes they do these kinds of stuff to remind people that league office is still there and can do stuff, if they just handled the business end of things and shut up, league would be fine for another 50+ years without their help and that is their problem, they want to stay relevant.

2019/20   $37,199,000
2020/21   $39,058,950
2021/22   $40,918,900
2022/23   $42,778,850

As we can see, it's increasing, so he needs to become fully healthy again to enjoy that increasing salary.

I guess that Brooklyn Nets won't take him if they see a handicap taking him. I think KD is pretty well and able now and Brooklyn saw that.

Yes his salary is increasing as years progress for him in Brooklyn but if he aggravate his injury, this salary will only go to waste. KD should not force himself in playing and wait for his full recovery.

A sports team management wouldn't waste that amount of money for someone that they don't have faith to bring their team on a better view of the league.

This season is still long so I assume that KD will recover completely.

The NBA has just fined the Bucks $50K for disclosing their plans of signing Antetokounmpo to a supermax contract next summer that worth $253.8 million, it would be a history in the NBA.

If that contract would push through, how many years would that be?

Is Giannis deserve that much?

Giannis deserve how much the team can offer since he is capable of giving his all for the sake of winning. But unfortunately, is this contract would push through it would close an opportunity of acquiring quality players which would be vital for the team.

Acquiring players who are capable to help him uplift the team to win the championship, though it's also something that he deserves since he's really playing all-in for the sake of winning. If the franchise wanted to keep him, it needs for them to offer him a contract that's very competitive and something that he can't really afford to turn down.

After receiving the conference MVP, he already upgraded his status from this league. He'sstill young and have a lot of potential growth. He can add more success to his career.

He is more of compelled to adjust his game. He cannot just stick to his old game like we have seen before in the old KD. He needs to tone down his physical plays and quick drives. It would either be this or he will strain himself again and again and probably live the rest of his NBA life as an on-and-off man on the court. The guy is a good shooter anyway so he remains more of an asset rather than a liability to the team.

Being a shooter have really its good sides since the type of basketball now is more on a shooting game unlike before where they drive to the paint or a post up.

He have a long span which will be difficult to reach once hands are stretched up.
The good thing is, whatever happens he already have a great contract and I dont think he will breach anything just to lose that.
He could live with it even with an injury.

He definitely deserved that because he was the MVP last season and might still be the MVP this coming season, with a change of coaching style, I think he will be very useful, its understandable that he cannot generate his usual scoring in the East Finals against Toronto because he was doubled or even triple and he is not super human, the offense should be spread and it's the job of the coaching staff to make some plays that will maximize the skills of Giannis.

Oh boy! What a big offer for Giannis Shocked

. It seems very obvious that Bucks wanted him to stay very long probably because they see him as their last and biggest hope to have a taste of being a champion Cheesy

. Well, I might say that it was a good deal for them because we can really see the result — Bucks now became one of the top tier teams in the NBA today.

On the talks whether he will sign, for me the answer will be yes based on John Horst's (Buck's general manager) statement,

Quote

And we've taken great steps towards that last year. We've continued to build on that. We're going to continue to build on that. I think we all fully believe that if we continue to put the right things in place and give Giannis the right opportunities -- he loves Milwaukee, he loves the state of Wisconsin -- I think he'll be a Buck for a long time.

All this money is guaranteed. He doesnt have to play a single game and every dollar is guaranteed to him.

And the quote above that. No way is he ready to play nba speed basketball. Dude blew out his Achilles a coue of months ago, shooting around and playing at top speed are 2 different things. My guess would be maybe in april he will come back and try to get ready for the playoffs if the nets are in position to make it in.

I am more worried about the mental issue.
Yes he might come back but not like the Durant that we have watched in GSW.
There will be less speed and less power.
I am thinking more of a Nowitzki kind of game. But that is one hell of a formidable offensive player. I will take that for that amount of salary and there will still be no regrets with it.

Mental issue might be a problem to any player who suffers a major injury. But I hope he'll comeback slowly until he regains the confidence and conditioning of his body.
There has been a lot of NBA players who really suffered the wrath of a major injury. To sight a few Drose, Tmac, Bynum, and etc. But there were also the likes of Paul George who really fight his way back to his game, though he made a lot of adjustments to his game which is a wise move. Im thinking George has a really tough mentality. I hope KD will overcome this one.

He can do that of course but eventually he will be back on his old self, PG had serious injury, starts to just focus on jump shooting by later in the last last season, we've seen him drive the ball and even had some good dunks, slowly he will get his confidence back again.

PG is a good testament that players can really came back from their worst injury, and be their old self. We have seen this last year wherein he put up MVP caliber statistics heading to the playoffs and had dunks that we couldn't imagine that he can pull off after that injury.

Quote from: Kasabus on September 25, 2019, 12:32:05 AM

Durant is no doubt a good percentage shooter, if the management will tell him to just shot and don't defend hard, he will do that, life would be easier for him in that matter but I'm afraid he will be abuse by his opponent especially if he will start Lebron which we know a very strong and physical player.

Durant is a good defensive player in my opinion, I don't think he can simply abandon it and abuse by others. I'm sure he will rely on outside shooting first when he goes back and slowly but up good numbers including rebounds and block shots.

I agree about the mental issue, players can do everything in rehab but if their mind is not there we could possibly see the players not playing his usual self. So it's really important as well to develop his mindset prior to playing his first ever game coming from that injury.

He could evolved, but I don't know if a Nowitzki kind of game. Perhaps he could improved more on his passing. His shooting is already good as we have seen him putting a dagger specially in crucial minutes of the game.

That's the beauty of his contract, but all within the contract is more on legal matters, all we know is he sign a max contract for the nets.

Let's see, Durant could be a different player, he might not be too aggressive driving the ball inside but with his range, he can still contribute big time to the team. If he will be back in the playoffs, then well and good, as long as he will be able to contribute to the team and will not be re injured anymore.

Miami doesn't have a young roster that could fit OKC's rebuilding in my opinion. Plus their young players are tie with huge salaries as well so I don't know how Miami can get away with that one. And if ever they do trade, will Butler and Paul click? I mean two players with large ego, we have seen it didn't last in Houston with Harden and Paul.

I think the problem really was James, he wants t lead the team when he is not clutch as Paul, IIRC, Lin also played with the Rockets and at that time, Lin was already considered as a star but they don't blend well, therefore I think that Harden does not want a star player to play with him.

Now that Harden is with WB, let's see if I'm wrong, I'm really confident I am not.
WB and Harden I think is not going to build a great chemistry.

You might be right about paul and harden not being a good combination there is a reason for that. Chris is a pure point guard and is best paired with someone who can play off the ball like klay Thompson can. Harden needed the ball all the time which negates Paul's PGA creativity. Westbrook's is a little bit just like harden so we'll see.

.....and Jeremy line was never a star. He had 15 minutes of fame with New York but that was it.
