NBA Season - now 24/25

Marks makes another move.

Six-time All-Star forward Blake Griffin has agreed to a deal to join the Brooklyn Nets for the rest of the season, his agent, Sam Goldfeder of Excel Sports, told ESPN on Sunday night. The Nets are using one of their veteran-minimum-contract slots to sign Griffin, sources said. Griffin informed Nets general manager Sean Marks of his decision to join Brooklyn's championship chase on Sunday evening, a reunion of sorts with his former Los Angeles Clippers teammate DeAndre Jordan.

The ASG is stuuuuuuuupid

Win or lose, Marks has had a GM of the year type season

Steph Curry is a human cheat code when it comes to shooting the 3

Mike Conley is one of my favourite players but even I was cheering for the Chef in that one.

I’m not a betting man but I told a mate to put money on a Sabonis / Curry double and he turned his $50 into $$$$$$$....

@voodoo it wasn’t as fun as last year, but Greek Freak not missing a basket was still something to watch.

Can't see it ever happening too many bonuses from teams and sponsors for becoming an all star that the potential best would miss out in this case.

Watching those guys shoot the three from halfway, should they remove the three at pro level?

The “potential best” miss out every year though.

If you look at this years selections on the international team you would have had:

Embiid
Simmons
Antetokounmpo
Jokic
Doncic
Vucevic
Gobert
Sabonis

And although he’s represented USA, give Kyrie an International jersey. So that makes 9.

The other three spots I’d add, Jamal Murray, Pascal Siakam and Dragic.

They’d go up against a starting lineup of Lebron, Curry, Leonard, Durant, A. Davis

Bench : Beal, Harden, Lillard, George, Zion, Booker, Tatum

@act-crusader I did a quick count too of the ASG rosters before my earlier post. With the increased international talent in the NBA nowadays you could have two evenly matched teams.

I didn't watch, but outside of the 3x 3's, were they all dunks???

7 dunks. He hit hook shots, floater, finger rolls, and layups.

Sounds more like Dr J than Giannis!

I just saw a report that LaMarcus Aldridge is leaving the Spurs. Sounds like pretty much immediately.

He's been really good for San Antonio, and i hope he goes somewhere with a shot at a ring.

lets hope not, because that means a buy-out and another guy leaving the Spurs for not much

Yeah I'm all for it but just cant see players agreeing to potentially miss out on adding another 'all star' selection to their legacy for a lower ranked international....and I know its a popularity comp and All NBA matters more....but also their egos....

and also Merica' we are the greatest in the world and if we had an international team vs us we might lose

LBJ suffered a high ankle sprain against the Hawks, out indefinitely. That will make the race for the top playoff places in the West even more interesting. They need AD back to help hold the fort, either way they will be a dangerous low seed if it takes them that long to get back to full strength
