Possible to see Steph, CP3, Wiggins, Klay and Green, very small line up but if the offense will click it's also
a good running game play for this starting unit.

Dang, one point guard and two shooting guards at a time! The offense is definitely good but the defense will surely be a problem for the Warriors if this is their starting lineup. Surprisingly, three of these five players are averaging 5 rebounds per game which may be a good point for this lineup.

For me, I would bench Klay and make Jonathan Kuminga a starter in the forward position because of his athleticism, size, and skill.

Steve Kerr seems ready to let Chris Paul start in the Warriors lineup. He said today that he plans to let Klay Thompson guard the opposing team’s power forward in this upcoming season. I’m not sure how long that will last as Klay certainly can’t match up against guys like Anthony Davis. I think CP3 will be coming off the bench pretty quick.

If they will experiment from that setup, I'm assuming that it will be Green to play as their center.

Though like you mentioned, Placing Klay to guard the power forward someone like AD and Giannis might
tough for him, knowing that after that hard injury, they might be putting him at risk.

Wow Boston just landed jrue holiday for a couple picks and so.e bench pieces (I like Robert Williams a lot though). That's a great pick up from Boston. Now I need to see the Bucks and Boston play, those games will be fun to watch.

Low key Portland is stacking 2028-20230 first round picks. If these kids end up good and Blazers are a top team in the west by the end of the decade they are gonna have some serious draft capital to play with. Great move all around.

Boston management just plain knows what they’re doing when it comes to making trades and signing players. Other than the Gordon Hayward and Kyrie Irving disasters, their record has been phenomenal. This deal puts them back up with the top tier teams in the East. A great pickup for them and a nice side effect to the Lillard trade.

Yeah, they lost Marcus Smart and Rob Williams, but they were able to get Jrue and then KP. So they are still in the top tier of the Eastern conference together with the Bucks. So it's going to be a good fight for the top spot in the East and it will be amazing to see this two fighting it out.

So great move and hopefully it will translate to something like the Celtics rejuvenated this season even if they lost their lead in Marcus Smart. It's just funny though that Miami, the first team that Dame wanted to play has end up nothing. But they have stack up future picks and so as what we have thought, they are in the rebuilding phase for the next 3-5 years.

Heat would like Damian Lillard to go there, but the Bucks made it happen and managed to bring Dame to Milwaukee

Regarding the Celtics, I believe that the team completely rebuilt itself, Willians and Smart left, but on the other hand Jrue and KP went to Boston.
I even believe that the Blazers made an interesting negotiation, Brogdon and Willians are good players and they also acquired draft picks for the next seasons... I believe that the Blazers are thinking about the future and a possible major restructuring of the team in the next years

And the Bucks are still not done with their acquisition as they get Cam Payne from Phoenix with a 1 year deal.

Quote

The Milwaukee Bucks are signing former Sun point guard Cameron Payne to a one-year contract, a story broken by Shams Charania of The Athletic.

https://www.nbcsports.com/nba/news/bucks-sign-point-guard-cameron-payne-to-one-year-contract

And obviously, he will be a back up guard with the Bucks, Lillard will be the primary for sure and then Payne coming to replace him as just what he did with CP3 and him at Phoenix. For sure they are also banking on Cam as he got plenty of experience as well from CP3 as he is the mentor. So let's see how far he can stretch the guard position, maybe contributing around 10 points as average will be good enough for Milwaukee as the bulk of their offense will be Dame and Giannis.

Yes, great observation! With this recent acquisition, I believe it was beneficial for the Bucks.
If Cam Payne maintains the performance he had in Phoenix, I have no doubt he will be a great PG to replace Lillard when he needs rest.

Payne is still young and he was able to gain experience playing alongside CP3 on the Suns.
I'll be curious to see how Payne and especially the Bucks team as a whole will perform!

Jimmy Butler said that media day is his Halloween Cheesy

. Dude is just having fun at that point and I am sure that he is going to go back to how he was during the season but he just wanted to have some fun.

With all the drama that is happening, I think the NBA fans needed that bit of fun and he surely made my day when I saw that hairstyle of him. I never expected that and his teammates were also enjoying their moment during the pictorial, I saw Bam laughing and I think Jimmy is okay with it or that's his purpose. Cheesy

And also he said this in their media day:

Quote

“We're going to end up in the Finals and this time we'll win it.”

So that is a man with a mission, don't sleep on the Heat.

I like that, he is pouring with confidence.

"This is my emotional state." That's what he said during the interview.
I still cannot get over what he did with his hair and I cannot stop scrolling Twitter for more witty tweets and memes. Here, I found one.

Honestly, Jimmy Buckets is a genius not just inside the court but also in taking the hearts of fans and not.
They didn't take Lillard with them but they're still one of the contenders to go in the finals as they've been one of those teams that has been consistent every playoffs and finals.

I'm thinking that it could motivated him more to produce another great season for the Heat. I'm saying for the team because Jimmy Butler is know to elevate his game and not just thinking for those individual accolade. He almost got the ring for Miami though, twice already, one in the bubble against the Lakers and then last year. And the thing is that no one even saw that they can go to the Finals, and thanks to Jimmy for doing that.

Quote from: terrific on October 03, 2023, 10:48:49 AM

I really thought the pictures on the internet about him were just edited and memes but no, they are real.

Yeah, it's for real mate, kinda like a "emo", Lol. Not only the hair, but it was a complete getup, with painted black nails and piercing lips, nose. But let's not forget about his do last year,

Woj is reporting that while James Harden hasn’t been to training camp for the Philadelphia 76ers yet, they are expecting him to report tomorrow. Woj is usually right on so I’m expecting that to happen. It appears Harden has blinked first in his fued with his GM and might be in a Sixers uniform to start off the season after all.

Seen that too and expected him to return I mean what is he going to do really sit out for the year if they don't trade him. Should be interesting how this all plays out. Who knows maybe some behind the scenes conversation about showing up putting in the work to raise his trade value and he will get traded. By sitting out you kind of take the leverage away from the team you are on.

I am sure that he was upset that they couldn't get Dame, and they could have gotten him as well, all Blazers needed was some picks and someone like Herro, which would be fine when you are getting a star like Dame to be fair. In any case, the season is nearing and we are going to start seeing the new teams and have they are meshing together. Plenty of players changed teams and it will definitely be fun and dandy for the fans.

I think we should be considering it as something that would be a lot better if we knew who could win, Bucks to win the title seems the leading odds but I still think Nuggets are great.

Jimmy wants all the media attention and loved messing around the internet so he styled his hair that way. If I remember it correctly this is the 2nd time he's messing with a weird hairdos during media day. The first one was that long dread locks hair. That was like a Rastafarian hair style, now is a long straight hair and he said he's Emo lol.
I thought it's going to more funny if 2k will use that hairstyle in an actual game. I saw modders in Nba2k14 designed Jimmy's hair that way.
However, it wasn't just Jimmy's look which the most noticeable in media day, but also the Bucks new look with Dame in the roster. They literally look scary.

He definitely made a lot of people laugh with his new hairstyle. I'm pretty sure this will be used against him in heated games or during playoffs where trolling and trash talking intensifies. The good thing is that he's a tough competitor and has the game to silence his opponents.

He's a true competitor and if there will be some trashtalks about his hair, he's for sure prepared for it and he made that to get the attention of those opponents.

But then, these hairstyles won't do that much against his performance but we can really say that he has already won the hearts of everyone and that's already a champ feeling there.

Nice hairstyle.
I'm trying to figure out a Hollywood artist from a certain movie that he looks like. Was it from the Blade? Wesley Snipes? Cheesy

This is the first time I saw Jimmy have that kind of hair and it's somehow unusual. If he didn't wear that Miami Heat outfit, I might not recognize him.

Jimmy Butler is definitely making a name for himself with his hairstyles at media day. I wonder how much longer it will be allowed to continue before the team takes action as I imagine it can be a bit of a distraction when they use those images during games, etc. I personally enjoy it a lot though and look forward to seeing what hairstyle he comes with next year. We'll have to wait and see how the season and next offseason goes before we can really make a decent guess.

Just to stretch the details about the "MrBeast" news. I don't know why he picked the Hornets but this will be a good one for them.

I don't know exactly how much this kind of jersey-patch partnership costs, but I assume he probably didn't have much of a choice. Most likely, the more popular teams are no longer available to new sponsors because they already have long-term partnerships with big brands. However, it's really cool that an influencer like MrBeast can promote himself this way.

I'm just wondering what kind of expectations Mr. Beast would like to achieve with this kind of move. We all know that he is one of the most popular influencers already, so people already know who he is, and it would be easy for him to market whatever products or services he likes.

As for the figure just to have a slight idea about this deal, this is what happened.

He picked the Charlotte Hornets because that’s his home town team. Pretty amazing that he’s come so far as a YouTuber and is branching out into traditional advertising deals while having such a huge platform himself. He’s clearly trying to take his chocolate brand public and cash out huge, which is what I’d do as well if people were buying chocolate bars off me for $3 a pop.

Probably.
I have not checked yet the availabilities of these patches but I do know others like the Lakers have Bibigo, the Warriors have Rakuten, the Rockets have Credit Karma, and so on.
So I checked what the Charlotte Hornets' previous patch was and it is LendingTree. They already ended their sponsorship in January of this year.

Quote

Hornets fan union The Crown Club reported this week that online lending marketplace LendingTree is ending their run as the Hornets’ jersey patch sponsor upon the conclusion of the 2022-23 season. LendingTree is also unlikely to return as a Hornets sponsor in any capacity, the report adds.

https://larrybrownsports.com/basketball/hornets-dropped-key-sponsor-lendingtree/609756

Quote

Many users pointed out that the move may be tied to LendingTree’s recent financial difficulties. The company’s stock (NASDAQ: TREE) closed Friday at a price of $22.18 per share. That marks an 83.0 percent decline over the last year and a whopping 94.9 percent decline from their all-time high of $433.34 (achieved in July 2019).

Well, I guess MrBeast won the hearts (the wallets) of the Charlotte management and so they gave the patch advertising to him.

He said that he likes basketball and would love to support his home team through this brand deal that he's got with the Charlotte. There's no catch with that and this is also going to add more revenue for him as it expands the other fans of Charlotte's and those that don't know his feastables yet.

IMHO, it's like the typical support that he's giving to the team.

Yes, most likely top tier teams have already partnership in place and so they can't just partner with social influencer like Mr. Beast. But still a win win condition though. I mean if it will bring more money to the franchise as they will be exposed by Mr. Beast to his millions of followers to maybe they will have a good sell at the end of the season. And Mr. Beast has a lot of platforms that extend help across the US as he is also a philanthropist so again, Hornets team will always be there whenever Mr. Beast help someone or anyone.

As for the Warriors, there are reports the Draymond Green might be out at the start of the new season.

Quote

It didn't take long for an injury to surface, as Draymond Green recently suffered a left ankle sprain during a pickup game, as first reported by Jason Dumas of KRON4 and later confirmed by Green to Andscape's Marc J. Spears. Green said that he expects to miss at least a month with the injury, adding that he "dodged a bullet" and is pleased by the way his ankle progressing. On Monday, the team said he would be re-evaulated in two weeks.
