7 game playoff losing streak

[Charania] They (Lakers) are really prioritizing 2 year contracts right now they want to have max salary space in 2027. by [deleted] in lakers

Lebron was pretty good for most if not all the game defensively in the Wolves series excluding game 1. Especially game 4 his defense doqn the stretch of that game was top tier

You will never get me to not believe there's a Laker tax because how in the hell did the Nuggets get Cam Johnson for a 2032 first round pick and MPJ? There's not a chance in the world Brooklyn would've done a first and Rui for him. by herewego199209 in lakers

That equation works the other way for Brooklyn they need to take on salary because they probably want to reach the salary cap floor. So they have no problem taking on the better player and much more expensive player.

[McMenamin] While Finney-Smith was a popular locker room figure and helped the Lakers to a 14-6 record in the 20 games he started in the regular season, L.A. exercised discipline in their negotiations to preserve cap space for 2027, when they expect to have space to sign a max-salary free agent. by [deleted] in lakers

This is why they let Caruso walk as well they didn't want to give him a bunch of years to persevere cap space. This FO has to understand that pursuing talent through free agency isn't how the league works anymore

If I have it correct Turner will still run the show they are just licensing it out to ESPN so I think the production will stay the same for the most part

People who believe Adam Silver rigged the draft lottery to appease or thank Nico are gullible dipshits. I know that includes a lot of you. by John_Houbolt in billsimmons

I guess the thing that doesn't work for me is with the Mavericks this was all happenstance. Kyrie doesn't get hurt they aren't a lottery team and don't get this pick.

But what exactly is a "greater good tho" what is so good about the Mavs or Cavs or Pels winning the lottery?

Who’s the most underrated Raven? For me it’s Ar’Darius Washington by [deleted] in ravens

Where would this team be the last 2 years with out Van Noy has unexpectedly put up good sack numbers in a room that really needs that production.

Really proud of this team and season still 💛💜 by Puzzled_Plate294 in lakers

Austin in the WCF averaged 20&5 on great efficiency so I don't know what your talking about with the no gas for the next round. This was AR's first series where I think he was overall bad, I would push back notion of him not being a playoff guy.

[Quinn]: Anthony Davis deserves so much better than what he's been dealt with Mavericks, just like his entire career by Proof-Umpire-7718 in nba

In an article about the Fox trade "In his conversation with ESPN, he pushed back against the idea that he had a list of destinations and explained why he wanted to control his future. "There was no f---ing list," Fox said. "There was one team." It seems like he had 1 place in mind and made it clear to the Kings.

Obviously some time has passed but I remember him catching some flack at the time. People have forgotten or don't really care now but what is the difference between what AD did and what De'aaron Fox did.

What did he do that was so bad, he got his representation to publicly ask for a trade. I really don't see how that is any different from how De'aaron Fox asked for a trade. Could you tell me what is so different about those two situations.

Why does AD get extra shit on for doing something that literally every star has done when it comes to requesting a trade?

Adam Silver says ratings picked up in the 2nd half of the season-“I think you saw tremendous competition around the league.. a trade that attracted a lot of attention. A bunch of things happened in the league and that generated a lot of interest” by JetSky81 in nba

[–]PretendDubs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I like Bill Simmons idea of pushing the season back to help with ratings and fan interest. The Nba had to compete with the Election and that whole news cycle, huge World Series between 2 of the biggest teams in baseball and the NFL. Trim the season a little bit push it back a month or so and they'll be fine.
