2021-2022 NBA Season Thread

[SS0 CLEAN]

I know its still early and game 7 of the finals is tonight. But I think we have enough to talk about considering the draft and the biggest free agency class ever. Plus all the rumors and he-say/she-say

I'm a Heat fan so I'm hoping for Wade-Bosh-and hopefully Johnson in Miami

Don't worry. I don't watch NBA till May.

I would think the current NBA thread will just get a new title and continue rather than starting a new thread. That's what happened with the MLB and NFL threads.

John Wall working out with the Wizards is very mild news.

[SS0 CLEAN]

well Amare was seen in Miami having an MRI done on his knee. could be something (hopefully not). Also tings change for him since Kerr resigned

[Uxi]

There's absolutely no way he's coming back to Phoenix. Their stingy owner isn't going to offer as much as other teams. Kerr did not want to leave but didn't feel he could win a title with an owner unwilling to spend, and the fact that the owner asked him to take a pay cut after a great season was pretty insulting too. It's a shame because the Suns have a core that could contend if they kept Amare and added another role player but their owner isn't going to do that. My guess is Amare ends up in Miami and Wade stays with the Heat.

well i never really understood how an injury risk Amare would be making more than 2-time MVP Nash. Suns do have a good team but i think need more size.

Nash is a good person who was willing to take what the Suns offered because he's loyal. He certainly could have made more if he had wanted to play out the final year of his contract but chose to stay even though the 08-09 season had been a bit of a disaster with the horrible hiring of Terry Porter, whose offense did not mesh with the Suns players and resulted in them missing the players, and the horrible trade for Shaq which Kerr did not want to make but was forced on him by the owner as Shaq would draw more fans and merchandise sales.

Shaq has destroyed every team he has played with. He needs to retire! Suns had a better team without Shaq as did the Cavs.

I think the Magic,Lakers, and Heat would disagree with that! But yeah Shaq is not the same but he's not done. He could be really valuable as back up center for a contender.

im not taking away from his athletisism. He WAS a great center. My problem lies after he leaves a team and then starts talking s*** about the organization and teamates. That includes the Magic, Lakers, and Heat

I'm sure Shaq regrets leaving the Lakers now. He's still pretty damned good and was the only going for Cleveland in their choke out. Kings have rings, though, and Shaq still merits some respect. He's definitely not what he was, but still can be pretty effective.
