NBA Season - now 24/25

An interesting stat in an ESPN article about the trade.

Adams has the fourth-highest field goal percentage (58.9%) in NBA history.

Hopefully he can be more involved in the offence at the Pelicans.

Lonzo is a pass first PG so Adams should get some easy baskets if he runs the floor....

Gordon Hayward leaves BOS to join up with La Melo at MJ's Hornets. And Rajan Rondo officially thanks the Lakers and will consider who he plays for next

Rondo to the hawks with Kris Dunn.

Hayward got a pay day from MJ he wasn't getting anywhere else.

I'm happy Rondo is not going to any of the major contenders, he was a very valuable piece of the Lakers' title run

also, Taipans got Cam Oliver back for 2 years!!

And Scotty Machado for the same period

Fucking bang!

That Hayward contract is a head scratcher. Can not figure why anyone would throw that at him.

MJ has to be one of the worst owners in the league

He obviously thinks he needs to pay over the odds for anyone that is remotely close to top drawer. Being a small market team he would be better served taking a look at what teams like SA and OKC do, or even Atlanta now

Serge Ibaka to sign with the Clippers.

That was a great deal for the Clips at 2yrs 19m

Torrey Craig to the Bucks. And what is cool is, Bucks fans are genuinely stoked.

Also Spurs have dumped Bryn Forbes on the Bucks. Excellent.

Starting PG for the Spurs. Can shoot. Can't defend. Got waaaaay too many minutes.

Will probably do a good job for the Bucks because they are better positioned to use his strengths and hide his weaknesses. Also he will probably bench for them.

Pop loved him, apparently because he works real hard all the time. This might be one of those trades where both teams are better for it?

@mariner4life I had to look him up (shows how much regular season I watch these days). Looks rubbish, he basically regressed in every single category this season (except FGA!), which is pretty poor for a 4th season guy in his 2nd season as a starter. In that set up.

Lakers have traded JaVale McGee away and will sign Marc Gasol on a 2 year deal in his place. Peak Gasol was great, I guess he'll be an able bench player now. Dwight has parlayed his redemption season into a contract with Philly

As a part of the trade sending Steven Adams to New Orleans, the Pelicans and Adams agreed to a two-year contract extension, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski and Zach Lowe on Monday evening.

The extension, which is fully guaranteed according to sources, is for two years and $35 million. Adams is in the final year of a four-year, $100 million deal he signed with Oklahoma City prior to the 2016-17 season. He is set to make $27.58 million in 2020-21.

Pelican uniforms will become popular in NZ.

Sales will drop off when they start 5 and 15...

And then the articles about how Adams won’t play for the TBs will follow...

New Orleans should revert to the old logo and name.

@Bovidae makes more sense than Utah Jazz

@canefan It's strange that US pro teams retain their names even though it has little relevance to their new city. The Lakers make sense in Minnesota, not so much in California.

Memphis too. At least OKC changed theirs

Bam gets his bread. Big 5 year $195M deal from the Heat. And Brandon Ingram gets a 5 year $158M max deal to stay in NO. Looks like his move out of LA worked out just fine. Giannis has yet to sign

DeMarcus Cousins to the Rockets.
Ibaka to the Clippers.

@canefan and he turned down an extension last year and back himself and got paid after making All Star team. Good on him.

Also, some of the money come out of these trades/re-signings are just ridiculous.

Bogdanovic off to the Hawks. The bucks missing out on that as a piece to try and keep the Greek Freak could end up hurting them if they cant find another good piece to go around him.

And the Hawks landed Gallinari, Rondo and Dunn too. Some nice pieces to go along with Bogi and Young.

Houston has agreed to trade Russell Westbrook to Washington for John Wall and a first-round pick, sources tell ESPN.

Hardly a step in the right direction for Russ.

Lakers about to lock in AD for the next 4 years at least. If LBJ can stay healthy (and AD himself of course) they have the chance to repeat this year, and have their two cornerstones in place for the next couple of years at least

For the haters, yeah thats you @mariner4life

if only San Antonio could have orchestrated a trade to the Celtics. And then got the Sixers to come too. And the Heat a year later.

Amazing the shit that Russell endured off the court. Imagine winning 11 fucking titles for your city, being the best team mate ever , a total stand-up guy, and still copping racial abuse on the streets?

you

also, how are you amazed about racism in America? Consider what it's like now and then extrapolate that to Russell's time

Not amazed atvthe racism as such, more find it hard to fathom how you could give your all like that and care so much, despite that sort of treatment. Apparently to this day he has no love for the city
