NBA NBA Thread: Gamble Gate

[Unknown Pleasures]

Really happy with what my Nuggies have been able to do. I'm curious to see how MPJ performs on a team without the Jokic effect. If friendly-rigged and MPJ didn't basically sell every playoffs Nuggies might have 2 rings already, and another finals appearance on top of it past 3 years.

Maybe I'm a fool, but I don't get a Saric for Valencunas trade. That's a total steal for Denver. Nuggets have never been able to field a back up center that cold remotely hold the fort when he sits, whether it was old-ass Cousins, McGee, Jordan, or Thomas Bryant. I think Valencunas can. Getting Bruce Brown back, even if he's not as good as he was, is at least respectable bench depth.

And dropping Mike Malone was a great move at the end of the season last year.

I think the friendly-rigged might have to go into overdrive to stop my Nuggies. Jokic-rules might have to go into overdrive.

Anyhow, I think gambling odds should be shooting Denver into the top 3, though I would never bet on them again while Adam Silver is still the Commissioner.

Denver is back in it

I think this will make the Bucks better.

Yeah waiving old injured Dame isnt that surprising.

More surprising part seems to be Pacers letting Myles Turner go at that price. His intangibles / impact on the game was huge, losing him is a big downgrade for the pacers.

Bucks have some scoring holes to fill though.

Would be funny to find out that Jokic is calling the shots on the roster too. Like he's informal coach and GM as well. LOL.

That would make him the Peyton Manning of the Denver Nuggets. Lmao

Leeg gonna have to quadruple down this year to screw Jokic out of rings and MVPs again

I’m surprised at how many of these cans being signed are still in the league

 

[Croaker]

I can't believe what the Nuggets were able to pull off while the Timberwolves and Lakers really said "fuck it lets run it back with a subpar squad"

Myles Turner is not only better than Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert, he's cheaper too. I just don't understand it. The Nuggets didn't give out any good offers. It's like GM's aren't even trying.

 

[White Whale]

Imagine what the Nuggets could do if they got rid of the awful Jamal Murray contract.

 

[Darkavius]

Not really sure which fans are more depressed currently, the Heat or the Lakers? I've seen nothing but sadness from both fan bases.

 

[Revolver]

Lmao @ teams hiring the same retread coaches.

 

[Revolver]

Lakers wanting to build for the future but they must have forgot they have a 26 year old super star on their roster. Wonder if Pelinka has left Disneyland yet.

Lmao @ fakers new owner making moves...

I know for a fact Reaves is true, but wasn’t the whole thing is that LeBron absolutely adores Luka and was pushing for this?
