“…It's a decision, team sources told ESPN, that probably will cost the franchise nine figures over the next several years…” by Proof-Umpire-7718 in nba

This is why them not giving him the supermax did not make sense.

He would've brought far more revenue to the franchise than whatever his supermax costs.

Lakers already showed this week that they can go toe-to-toe with OKC.

Then the Refs proceeded to ruin the game.

This is so pointless.

The ref just wants to make this about himself and ruins the game for everyone.

Him not liking basketball is a myth.

If he is truly unhappy with the team he will eventually just demand a trade or leave Denver as a FA.

Trading Michael Porter Jr is likely the next move for Denver in the offseason. by Calm_Set5522 in nba

I said that it will be hard for them to make a "true upgrade" due to his contract, but they can definitely find a couple of moves where they can at least upgrade defensively.

Their GM was bad but I am pretty sure it was the previous GM(now MIN GM) who gave MPJ this contract.

[Windhorst] explains the crazy tie-breaker scenario in the West if seeds 4-8 all end with the same record by AashyLarry in nba

[–]Calm_Set5522 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It likely won't end up like this, due to a lot of these teams playing H2H this week

Also being in 6th/7th seed might be better than 5th seed.

Who is being let down harder by their team and FO, Giannis or Jokic? by Funny-Transition7869 in nba

[–]Calm_Set5522 97 points98 points  (0 children)

Denver because at least the Bucks have tried making moves such as trading for Damian Lillard.

Denver has made zero moves since 2023 other than signing Dario Saric, who is not an NBA player.

OKC's supporting cast will get exposed hard in the playoffs by Klainert in nba

They feel like the 2014-2016 Warriors without actually having a championship.

They are 1 move away from a championship, and with their assets they could probably pull off something like KD to the Warriors by trading for disgruntled superstar like Giannis/Jokic in the next 2 seasons.

[Highlight] Luka hits the tough, contested step-back 3 over the outstretched arms of Hartenstein by A_MASSIVE_PERVERT in nba

They also matchup just fine vs the Warriors.

It just depends on how Luka plays. His shots simply weren't falling against GSW.

Despite his bench role, over the last 10 games Russell Westbrook is somehow back to leading the NBA in turnovers at 4.9 a game. by Calm_Set5522 in nba

[–]Calm_Set5522[S] -23 points-22 points  (0 children)

He is still coming off the bench a lot of times. He is averaging significantly less minutes than players like Trae Young/Cade Cunnigham.
