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

Their problem was always in the head of their stars, when everybody is focused on playing basketball this is a championship contending roster.

My biggest surprise this season is Nick Claxton whom i thought was too slim and not strong enough in the paint... now he's becoming a great rim protector

Is Basketball suffering the same fate as Football? What will happen when Curry, James, KD and all the remaining legends retire? Do you guys see any worthy replacements coming up?

Also, unrelated question, where do you rank the Warriors dynasty among all the previous ones (Bulls, Lakers, Celtics,...)?

basketball is in a great position... lots of talented players leading the already new established and upcoming generation (Giannis, Luka, Tatum, Mitchell, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Lamelo Ball)... then you have Victor Wembanyama arguably the most anticipated player of all-time coming into the league next season.

hard to rank dynasties and eras if you haven't watched them all... Warriors are definitely up there though. Many people believe their 2017 team is the best team of all-time.

Lakers robbed tbh, how was that not a foul on LeBron?

Embarrassing stuff.

seems like BronBron will break the scoring record away at Pelicans

KD really spared the league... they could've easily ran up 7 chips

Kyrie to Dallas? Didn't see that coming

Not re signing Brunson hurt their offensive cohesion, now they won't need 40 pts from Doncic to win games

They don't give away essential assets, good deal by Dallas

Nets got better, Mavs got worse

imagine thinking Luka-Kyrie can work if KD-Kyrie never worked, no idea why the Mavs would shoot themselves in the foot like this. I mean sure they didn't have a winning team, but what net positive does Kyrie bring to your team? Especially if you intent on keeping him for the long run. I guess they could also have got him just to not re-sign him and open up cap space.

anyway, in other news, i'm glad to see Jamal Murray slowly returning to his best form

Lockdown Jamal Murray was an absolute boss

Anyway, don't see Kyrie working out for the Mavs with Luka. They're probably thinking they're not geting a superstar to Dallas anyway so might as well roll the dice with Kyrie.

Only thing this does is hurt my fantasy chances. First I didn't get Tyrese Eason, now this.

KD-Kyrie never worked because they are both selfish bums

And it kinda worked this year before Durant's injury

Meanwhile Luka is begging to have all star partner in the backcourt, by far the most talented teammate he ever had. I watched Mavs a few games this season they played like trash tbh it's not like they're taking a big risk here. Sacrifice a 1st round exit for a 1st round exit if anything.

Irving to Lakers this summer is written in the sky

Kyrie is and will always be a one-man band. Only LeBron can tame him. You think he will bow down to white men Luka, Jason Kidd and Mark Cuban?

I heard he came to Dallas cause he knows who shot JFK and wants to uncover everything

The main question is can he play basket ball for the next 3-4 months ?? I don't even like the guy but that's a risk worth taking

LeBron James never moved me because he reminds me of Superman. Has it all physically and can do everything. But this record deserves to be celebrated because it's a testament of his best qualities - durability, endurance and longevity.

King James, the GOAT

Westbrook finally gone

And we fleeced them. Gonna be tough to get to the play-in still though, but this oughta help.

Durant to the Suns holy shit

Lakers get Russell, Beasley, Vanderbilt for Westbrook whom Jazz want to buy out lol ?? Then Clippers is a likely minimum vet contract destination

The face of western conference just changed a lot in one evening

Just for Westbrook, no picks? Nice work. Lakers are still shit though.

One pick in 2027 that's what i read. Wolves get Conley. Hard to understand this move for Jazz

Meanwhile Durant vs Bridges, Cam Johnson, Crowder, 4 first round picks. Both teams can be satisfied here. Sean Marks is doing consistently a great job from shitty situations, what a flop SuperNets has been, i wish them well now.

Poeltl reportedly dealt to Raptors, ironically they got like 10 players who can be classified as big men, most of them can't shoot let alone create their own shot, hopefully they adress that. At least Poeltl is a true center which was a dire urgency for them.

Rumors about Bones Hyland to Raptors, i am hyped for it, loved this young player whenever i saw him but in the clutch of the season he cannot get minutes in Denver.

so Warriors miss out and Poeltl and Vanderbilt... Joe Lacob is a very silly and unserious man.

West gunna be very interesting now. Hopefully Kawhi and PG can stay healthy for once in their lives.

Russell and Westbrook playoff instability probably cancels each other out, but at least Russell can hit the 3 more consistently. And Beasley is a marksman, and Vanderbilt is good allround energy. Love the trade for Lakers, hopefully it gets them in playoff position.

Jazz know they can't compete so they're just offloading old players, stacking up picks and opening up cap space to build around Lauri.

Wolves remain lol-worthy as always.

Suns doing brilliantly to keep Ayton, but Bridges probably has more value anyway.
