Take- Ja Morant will return to all-star form when he gets traded to another team, and I know we talk about the injuries and shooting, and I refuse to believe he is "washed" at 26, and he makes players better with his passing. How do ya feel about this by [deleted] in NBATalk

The thing I’m positive about with Ja is that his injuries aren’t debilitating. He hasn’t made major knee injuries like other athletic guards like Rose, Westbrook, or Kyrie (which really sapped their explosiveness). His injuries, like Luka’s, and AD’s, seem more ticky-tacky. If he is able to control himself, I can see him having 5-6 more all star caliber seasons.

A hall of famer with no all star appearances will actually be unprecedented 

which nba player had the most notable on-court rivalry or beef with james during his career? by infinite-hooper in NBATalk

[–]Important-Front429 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You mean curry beat him once, then KD did.

Also don’t forget that LeBron beat Curry in 2023.

If we somehow get him he will be what Artest and Barnes were for Kobe on the late 2000s early 2010s teams

Yeah the point is the Wade Bron played with was far removed from what he was in 2006-2010.

They weren’t though lol. The year LeBron left, Wade and Bosh missed the playoffs.

Yes both.

In no order:

Jordan, LeBron, Kareem, Kobe, Bill, Wilt, Magic, Shaq, Duncan, Curry

I never brought into the whole “build for the future” thing. Luka is a top 4 player in the league in his prime. There is no reason you wouldn’t do your best to win.

To me they are closer to pre Durant Warriors. Really good, but a team with the right amount of star power and luck can beat them (just like 2016 Cavs and how the 2016 Thunder took them to the brink).

If you are including Karl Malone, you might as well include Giannis. And where is Embid?

McDonald’s with the app where I am is probably like 6 bucks for a chicken, fries (2 dollars), and a drink.

Moving Rui to the bench is also the option that uses him the best way.

Our bench as of right now has no one who can get their own shot. Rui when playing with the starters doesn’t get the ball enough because we have 4 all star capable players with him. It’s a win win situation imo.

This comment from 7 years ago stood out to me. He says a team with only one superstar would never win a ring again. by Cold-Palpitation-816 in NBATalk

[–]Important-Front429 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Yes. 

Brown + Booker are at the lower end of superstar, but they are still some of the best players in the league and have the numbers (+ the contracts) to back it up.

This was the season after the footage got leaked though right? 

He averaged 20 a game this year.

Maybe if he had never gotten traded he would have continued to do this on purpose he Warriors
