Wow! Boston Celtics vs Utah Jazz, it's the first game in the schedule.

This is a great game for sure, what team do you think will win here guy?
As usual, Jazz is still the favorites to win even on the road.

Will the Boston Celtics will this or Jazz will continue their domination?

Utah went cold in their last 4 games, while Boston is hot fifth win in six games.

They beat Celtics the last time, and I must say that Utah can do it again tonight.
I'll take the Celtics today. Utah has been in a lossing momentum from the last 4 games.
While on the other hand the young Celtics are on fire 5 from their last 6 as you said.

Lakers for me though, really need a strong presence in the middle, Davis is still out, Montrezl Harrell is not a true center in my opinion.

Yep, Trez is an undersized Center even during his Clippers days. What makes him survive that position is his strong physicality from both defensive and offensive end. But he won't sustain it for the rest of the game. So, the Lakers were chasing after Andre Drummond or Hassan Whiteside. If they will able to acquire one of these big men, the Lakers would become tough once again this season.

Hate to make out some comparison basing up on rankings but 5th rank on East against 1st or top on West then its most likely or no doubt that Jazz could pull it off.

Basing on Last 10 games where Celtics made out 6-4 and Jazz is on 5-5.I don't see for them to make some upset but lets see on what would happen.

9 days left until NBA trade deadline. There is a lot speculations. Some are just speculations, but since many trades are done right before trade deadline this speculations are alive. Some patient teams might make profit on impatient teams desperate moves.

Most exciting time of the year. Aaron Gordon, DaMarcus Cousins, LeMarcus Aldridge, JaVale McGee, Andre Drummond, Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma, Andrew Wiggins, Hassan Whiteside, Bradley Beal, Ben Simmons, and many more people are potential movers... Lakers, Nets, & Trailblazers seem most likely to make some moves.

Lakers always look for a new addition but I think they already are a strong team. I hope the TrailBlazers will benefit and will get a good big man that could really dominate. Imagine, Lillard and CJ is a big threat already and they also have a scorer inside, that is really a huge improvement, not only a scorer but a good defender, I guess Drummond is the key to that.

Campaign Management?"Hhampuz" is the Man
March 16, 2021, 02:00:20 PM

Can't be done, and one of the reason  why KD left since the Max has been grant to Klay instead of him.

Ans speaking with their ages it might be no longer on their prime if in case that particular deal happened(which probably far from reality)


There is no way Steph goes to Lakers, there is no way that they could handle both Lebrons contract and on top of that Steps contract and AD's contract all together somehow. But aside from the financial part of the deal I can easily say that Steph is doing awesome in GSW, what could be the reason he would leave?


Quote
I mean if he was a player that never won a ring with GSW and was playing amazing like this year, he may leave and go chase a ring with Lebron but Curry already has 3 rings, from now on he could just get paid a lot of money and have fun, that's all that matters for him, he could lose and still just have fun and that wouldn't matter. Plus they are getting Klay back next year, I am sure with everyone healthy they are going to be able to do something decent, after all they were without Durant first time they won the ring and they will be great again.

Those desperate to have a ring are easy to move and find stronger allies, but that's not the case for Steph he already proven everything and he created he's statue with the rest of his teammates,.

I don't think that Steph will move to Lakers. Regarding the game, Warriors give up too many easy shots for the Lakers, their defence is terrible. And it's obvious that GSW is not consistent, blowing the Jazz then losing like this one against the Lakers.

Love Perk though, Lebron will be what? close to 40 in 2022, when Steph's contract are up with the GSW. So we don't know how long can James play at that age, and also Steph will be like mid 30's that time.

Another good day for NBA basketball. Utah Jazz vs Boston Celtics & New Orleans Pelicans vs Portland Trailblazers back to back on TNT. Always a good day when you get the chance to see Zion play. He’s been tearing it up lately too. I’m exciting to see him and Donovan Mitchell get a chance to show off nationally.


And Miami Heat vs Cleveland Cavaliers too!
Wanna see some Big Coffee ☕

Old man James with a triple double tonight against the Golden State Warriors to help his Lakers pull out the win. It’s funny that people are talking about Steph coming to the Lakers now... Personally I think that’s crazy talk and he’ll retire with Golden State, but even the great Kobe Bryant once requested a trade so you never know...
First time to hear that talk from the other fans. I've never thought that Steph would do such a desperate move. He has his own home and I think that he'll not go to another team as he has achieved a lot with GSW.
I also think that until his retirement, he'll remain in the dub nation.

That would never happen in my opinion because this guy has their own commitment to their team just like the other players in the past. Stephen Curry is currently on the list of NBA players who have spent their entire career with one franchise. I doubt that he will throw such a title just for money. He has a chance to be next to Dirk Nowitski if he stays on GSW or even becomes the top 1 if he successfully stays there longer than the others on the list.

We're all uniting in the opinion that he won't do that. If he wants to get another record and that is for staying into one team where he started and where he's going to retire.
Don't forget about the Kobe, he also holds that record.
I think it's already the trend like before if the team decided to release you or trade you, you have no choice besides, its still money, and if the team wants you out in exchange for a younger player, I don't think you will have a choice regarding that, Steph might be retiring in one jersey unless if at the end of the contract other team will offer a bigger one, i think he will leave, as we know money talks.

He should not do that and for sure the Dub nation wll do everytign to keep him.

He don't need anything as he's now collecting the maximum check and surely the Dub management will do their best to counter
whatever offer the Lakers will provide.  Fans will love him more if he keep his feet under one franchise, Just have to wait for Klay to comeback and GSW again will be more competitive than how they are performing now.

Curry has nothing to prove, he doesn't need to leave the Warriors, instead they just need to add more star players so the Warriors will be back to being a dominant team. James is out of his mind, he is recruiting everyone whom he thinks could bring a championship to the team, and how can management afford Curry when he is also one of the top paid player in the NBA.

Lowry indeed a good back up, he always supporting his star caliber teammate,

Way back when Derozan was the star of Toronto and when Kawhai went their and bring them the title, Lowry just deal with it and didn't interrupt to any game plan, He's  a star on his own and bringing him either to Miami or Philadelphia he'll bring impact for sure, a very great addition to make the team more competitive.
I didn't even know Lowry was on the trading block, I mean Toronto is doing fine, sure they may not get another ring but if they keep playing this way and can somehow land one superstar they could still get lucky right? I mean look at what happened on their championship year, they were just a team that kept losing to Lebron constantly every single year and one year they got Kawhi (lost derozan though) and they ended up winning the title that year.

This is why I think it is not really that understandable that trading Lowry would somehow benefit them, they would logically tank with that trade and rebuild, and if not they would have to seriously get something good out of it so that they could stay at this level and I do not think that anyone would give any decent level player for Lowry right now, everyone has all their pieces and giving a big name would be bad business, so it would be basically some semi-ok player plus some picks probably.

But Kobe wasn't really satisfied with the players built around him that time, while Steph still has Draymond and Klay (once he comes back).


Portland Trail Blazers star CJ McCollum to return Tuesday vs. New Orleans Pelicans.

What are your thoughts?

Current odds around 1.9x ML for Portland, I did take it already, too attractive to pass it since CJ will be playing again.
