2025 NBA Draft and Offseason

[YankeeVol]

when he went down, he didn't cry or grimace in pain or writhe around, he kinda just sat there with a look on his face like "this is it, i ain't ever gonna win ****"

So don’t back to a chit franchise.

 

[apevol]

But it’s Portland…

the fighting bill waltons!

he's most likely finished mattering in playoff basketball whether he plays in Portland, LA, okc, Boston or whoever

Exactly. So try to win something that matters rather than playing "where you came from*"


*obviously in the NBA

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Paul George won’t even go to Charlotte, let him be the centerpiece of the Mexico City Toros expansion team!

The city wasn’t my cup of tea but out toward Sandy was gorgeous. I could have lived there easily.

Oregon is gorgeous, but it’s big cities have that one problem...

Same with CA…NY…etc.

It's better for his legacy coming back to Portland than it would be to be Gary Payton on the 2006 Heat getting 15-20 minutes as an 8th man. Not like winning a title for Denver in 2027 as Murray's backup changes his life.

those fans are legit ecstatic over him coming back. I don't think they really care if he returns to form, they just love him that much

Leaving was so so stupid.

it was a bad fit with Giannis too

I think they could've been fine had they better supporting perimeter players and no injuries.

 

[zjcvols]

Derik Queen tore a ligament in his wrist and probably won't be ready for the start of the season. The Pelicans franchise is a voodoo curse.

And if Dame actually attempted to play defense

And no Doc Rivers

Yeah, that's why I think Dame shouldn't have left. He gets to Milwaukee and doesn't get reps with the team/Giannis in the summer. He's still not hustling on D. Why did you leave, bro? This isn't championship ball.

 

[knoxvol52]

Wizards buying out Marcus Smart. Then Smart is going sign a 2 year/$11 million dollar contract with Lakers. Opt-out after 1st year

100% proof that he was fat because he was lazy/sloppy and Mavs had every right to be mad about it.

A fat Luka averaged a triple double. Get your popcorn ready MVP season is coming up.. do individuals hate Luka because is from overseas or white.

You know damn well the reasons people don't like him, because you've been crying about our criticisms for the last couple years.

- heliocentric ball-hogging
- crying to the refs more than anybody in the league
- extremely poor effort on D

But yeah, let's light-heartedly accuse people of bigotry.

 

[knoxvol52]

Come on, bro. You're gonna go there?

You should've seen BadJerry when I said everybody (not just him) generally underrates white defenders.
