Guys, I got some news about KD.

Kevin Durant Could Potentially Make Return From Achilles Injury This Season

What do you all think? Can we expect the same Durant this coming season?

I think he's not going to force the issue of his injury. I mean, he has a torn Achilles tendon which needs time to fully recovered. I can't believe this kind of news, but if he does come back this season it would mean he is willing to take the toll from his kind of injury.

What do you all think? Can we expect the same Durant this coming season?

It is still up to him though, we can't answer that question except hope that he can be back 100% just like Paul George did when he had one of the worst injury as a NBA player. One advantage though is that sports science today is very advance, and if he had the right attitude and right rehab trainer specialist, we can definitely see him back in it old self.

And definitely he don't need to force himself to suit up, he really need to heal it because achilles injury is very serious as it can spell doom for a NBA players such as his stature.

Of course he would not do the same mistake again like he did in the last NBA finals where he aggravate his injury and the team would not allow him to play if he is not fully recovered yet as they invested a lot for him. But we have a good news as he could possibly play in the coming season, maybe in the later stage of the regular season is a good time to come back as long as the team is already secured for their playoff lives which I think is possible due to less competition in the east compared to the west.

That's a good news, let me check the line for NBA futures now if its still available. ...

yeah, it's still up, Brooklyn Nets is 24.50 to win the championship, I think this is a good odds.

Like every player who came from serious injury, they will not easily get back to normal, and in addition, he is playing in a different team, so let's hope he will be okay and can still play on his MVP form.

Everyone is now recommending him and as fans, we are on his side. And now, there's another legend that's confident of a team picking up Melo.

Walt Frazier on ‘Melo: ‘I’m confident that somebody will give him a chance’

Lots of recommendations and call from the NBA superstars but still there are no teams that showing signs that they want Melo even at 1%.

It just shows that even Melo can still play 100% and willing to change just to get back in NBA, maybe teams still remember his attitude, behavior and being arrogant in his whole playing career.

Just 1 more season. Want to see the changes in Melo after he realized what's wrong.

We have no idea the reason why the teams don't want to sign him up. It could be the attitude that he showed before but it could also because of some other reasons.

But it seems that everyone is getting pity with his career if ever no team will sign him.

No, I think this time he will gain some respect from people who hate him joining a super team.
This time around, he joined a team that struggle to be in playoffs and with him and Kyrie, people are expecting they will reach to the finals and eventually win the NBA finals since these two are proven capable of doing it, but until now, we cannot be too confident, we need to wait and see him back and evaluate if he still play the same way he played with the Warriors.

The respect is already there because he has won championships, forget about those haters they should be proud of his achievements and just follow wherever he is right now.

We are on the part of assumptions, everything that we see right now is good as viewing but we can't tell the possibilities once the season has come.

And the difference as well, because Durant were able to win series of championships with the Warriors and let's see if he can do it with another team.
When he joined the Warriors, the hype of splash brothers have slowly dropped, now that Durant is out, we might see them doing their old thing which is to shoot 3s consistently and dominate a team and I like that the warriors are undervalued right now, and Durant still has to prove that he can win championship without Curry and Thompson playing beside him.

Right now, I am trying to sense that there is a blackballed thing going on with Melo, I don't know if he did something wrong with rockets or even OKC because dude is literally not given a contract by force, we are talking about 30 teams and 8-9 man rotations which means 250+ players needed for the league and owners can't possible make us believe that there are 250+ better players than Melo, that is not possible we all know Melo is still a better player than half of the league.

This is why I think this is more personal, either they don't like his character or his treatment to teammates or something, no idea why but its too obvious its not related to basketball. We see players saying "Melo needs a contract" but we never see any player saying "we should sign him to our team", that means maybe even players do not want him on their teams? I don't know but he should definitely be playing based on his talent even now.

Half of it could be the medias fault.
But you are right, it aint skill basis anymore. We know he is still good.
Another half is the possibility of what the media say is true.
If that is the case there could really be locker room problems that is happening.
Some players say he have a bad attitude but it wont be seen when he is on the court but only in the showers.

I agree, media has something to do with it, just listen as to how to attack Melo's personality even after joining OKC and some of them even blame him as to what happen to them the previous years. But media really knows something that we fans can't even believed if it's true or not, specially after a game and inside the locker room. Shouting, blaming each other after a game that fans can't see but media have access to it and reported. But most of the times then added something that creates some negative feelings about a player or even a coach.

Yes. It was their little birds who provides them information inside and out.
They will know everything with just some little digging in the locker room.
Name it, ESPN, Fox and other Vloggers who are trying to be analysts in the world of sports .
I am sure they could be one of the culprits into why players are not getting their right contracts.
KD is already one proof with his statements just a month ago. He had that drama against the NBA management and the media.

Yeah, these known players before are pushing the opportunity to him but seems like no team cares at all about him. Maybe if he do a public apology or after finding his own fault and starts to become humble.
I think that there will be a lot of teams that will start contacting him to sign a contract with their team. Yeah he got the plays but in business, it's more about the attitude since skills can be improved overtime.

The NBA's Dumb New Tampering Rules Are Rolling Out Roll Eyes

https://deadspin.com/the-nbas-dumb-new-tampering-rules-are-rolling-out-1838296739

I have to read other sources that covers this story to somehow grasp this new tampering rule. I don't understand why the writer of that article calls it dumb. It's pretty fair imo for the NBA Board to review these rules and enforce it. As what has been said before, it levels the playing field and making sure everyone complies.

Even if there will be more that will recommend him to play, it's still up to the team if they will add melo.
The team management knows better as they are the one who will pay for is salary and therefore they will only get Melo if they think Melo is still an asset or a great contributor to the team, but it seems like nothing has happen, Melo still hasn't signed any team.

I don't know if he is the one making it hard for a team or it's just that no team is really interested.

It's interesting to see how he will truly adjust with how he act previously just to have the chance of being signed by any interested teams, that is if there's someone out there who will take the risk. Melo's adjustment from a superstar caliber attitude to a backup player who will do his best just to stay with the opportunities to play back again.

One more chance, same with anyone who's still believing that he still have that guts to show his skills helping the team that will entrust him with the contract.

Same as my hopes.
Give him the chance. I do think he already realized it. He just need that one more dance to let them see how he changed already.

If not, then he shouls really sign up in in a different league.
Maybe the Big three, China or Euroleague.
It could pump up his rankings back to a higher number rather than sitting in a couch crying for all the mistakes he has done.

He was a great player but the team signs a player based on its current status.
We cannot forget his contribution to the USA basketball as he also lead in winning in the international tournament like FIBA and olympics IIRC.

That's why veterans like to help him because of his status and contribution in the past, but team are getting a player based on what he can offer to the team, this is just purely business and nothing is personal here.

We will never forget the contributions of Melo and on how great he is as a player and being a superstar. Still no clear reasons why most of the teams aren't signing but I'm still hoping for his good fortune that there will be a last minute contract signing.

Melo is a great player and he has the biggest potential to become a good asset for the team. Hopefully more teams will show up and pick this guy and make him a part of the team's journey. If given good chance, I guess this guy will not fail them and his capability will prove that he's worth it.

Everyone is now recommending him and as fans, we are on his side. And now, there's another legend that's confident of a team picking up Melo.

3. Kevin Durant

Speaking of Kevin Durant, wearing #7 jersey.

--> https://www.nba.com/article/2019/09/19/kevin-durant-nets-jersey-debut-pictures

He looks good on that number 7 jersey, hopefully he will not anymore transfer to other team and he will just retire in the team while bringing success to it.
We will certainly miss him next season as its still healing time for him, the injury was serious that it requires a lot of time for him to recover, and I don't trust Irving alone could bring the team to a higher level, I'm not expecting they will win in the East until Durant will come back.

Yeah he really looks nice on that jersey. After his transfer, I think his fan base gets a little lower this time because many doesn't like him to see on a newer team because everyone got used to see him with Warriors.

I just hope that he will get a full recovery.

He is a superstar, I think his fanbase will grow more and him transferring from Warriors won't affect anything. After all he said he didn't feel comfortable in GSW because he wasn't accepted, Lol. We still don't know though if this is Durant's last stop, if he can't find success then I'm sure he will think of moving to a team that could give him another ring. But let's see, it's too early to say and see him recovered and play first and hope he can come back from that injury and see the same Kevin Durant.
