The Official Dwayne Wade <<<<<< you thread

Dame waited for his brother Jerami Grant to get paid big time before he requested the trade

Blazers are a bum franchise. Lillard has been patient enough, they keep surrounding him with decent at best rosters. Never even tried, their biggest move was give away McCollum so a player of exactly same profile (Simons) could get more minutes.

Grant is good but what's the point of overpaying to this extent... and ruin cap flexibility... was never gonna be enough to convince Lillard to stay over there

Spears is finished. GOAT in the making this guy.

So not the ideal start for Wemby, looked clumsy and exhausted yet still showed glimpses of his talent. It's only his first summer league game so no big deal.

Funny how people want this guy to fail. Some memes i saw were funny but i also saw very harsh critics from jealous losers and/or Britney Spears simps.

Haters are everywhere these days, so not surprised. Can't wait for Miles Bridges to dunk on him tho just as a little welcome to the league gift

I'm sure dunking on Wemby will be a personal challenge for every half-alpha in the league. That's just how it is

Kai Jones posterized him yesterday, highlight of his career so far

Anyways i expect something around 20 pts-10 rebs stat lines this season. Will definitely reach for him in fantasy draft

what? damn

Shaka Hislop fainted on live TV few days ago

c*vid anti-vaxx gang gunna eat this up now

World Cup starts friday

Canada can top its group. Our roster is surpringly legit, a lot of NBAers whom i did not know were canadian. Our palmares is very poor, now it's time to write history. Bronze medal is a realistic target.

I predict USA as winners with their B team (supposedly) a lot of guys have the potential to integrate the Olympics 2024 team.

On a side note maybe we should start sending fantasy reminders to inactive posters i bet all of them are still down.

95-65

Perfect start to the competition. Nervous in 1st quarter but then started dominating and never looked back. The combination of Shai, Dort and Brooks is extremely unpleasant to play against. I was amazed to learn that Olynyk and Dwight Powell are canadians, that gives us a credible starting 5 with a good bench. We even got a center Zach Edey whose noticeably taller than Gobert.

NBA taking measures against load management as if teams do it for fun, without a purpose

Adam Silver is such a terrible commissioner, more and more i dislike this dude

What about the in-season tournament a big joke

there's definitely some teams/players that overuse it

they should just lessen the regular season games, give players more time to rest in between games

58 games would be plenty enough. Scrap conferences as well and teams 1-16 go to playoffs

Never happening for economic reasons. Instead we have 82 games and in the end teams ranked 9th-10th play a sudden death match great competitive spirit

I don't like to see the league gets involved in a coach's game plan

Amazing, can't wait to watch the Bucks next season, very likeable team. I just hope Lillard shows up motivated and is pro player even if he's mad to not join Miami. I bet he will.

Blazers get disappointing draft picks it's quite surprising. At least they get 2 starters in Ayton and Holiday. They also got Scoot and i think Sheldon Sharpe is potentially a 20ppg player so their rebuild might be a faster process than expected.

Well played by Suns GM who scrapes decent role players in Nurkic, Allen, Little while getting rid of Ayton's contract.

Holiday will get traded ASAP source Woj

Maybe that's how they get better picks. For now they only got 2028, 2029, 2030.

Holiday re-traded to Celtics for Robert Williams, Brogdon and 2 picks

Boston got fleeced right there

how? Williams is a walking injury

still doesn't make them good enough tho, their bench is thin

Celtics: it's their second major trade of the offseason for a team that needed minor adjustments. Spoelstra out coached them that's why they lost.

Smart, Brogdon, R. Williams, G. Williams that's a lot of useful players. In return they get Holiday who's an improvement at the PG position but Porzingis is also as injury prone as they come. They went from deep rotation to 5-6 men rotation i'm not a fan.

again, i don't disagree, just don't think the Holiday trade in and of itself is a fleece

hope yahoo fantasy continues the trend and makes this their Jimmy picture

Agreed. I'd make that trade in a second if I'm Boston.

Boston improved the starting 5, but their depth (especially in the center) is an issue.

They're relying on Porzingis staying healthy and Al Horford to keep being a freak of nature to be able to defend opposing bigs. It's a gamble. Jrue Holiday is a better Mahcus Smaht though, and Porzingis can shoot the lights out if he's on & provides good spacing.

They're a really good team.

Hyped for Bucks. Lillard, Giannis, and Khris together is unbelievable playmaking, shooting, and pick and roll possibilities.

The west is so hard to predict this season wtf

Even more so once you consider the imponderables such as injuries and suspensions
