NBA Info - October 2023

[Betrayer]

October is Domestic Violence Awareness month, so there really is no better time than now for the league to take a stand and send a message.

To that end, the report should read:

"The Charlotte Hornets have released Miles Bridges. Additionally, the League Office has issued a statement that they plan to take a stand against domestic violence and although people have the right to pay for their crimes and get a second chance, they will not be able to do so as one of the few hundred athletes who have the privilege of representing the NBA brand."

He could be a top 10 player if he starts shooting like this.

Scoot had a good game last night.  So of course everyone is saying  he is the next great player.  Until he has a bad game tomorrow and the same people call him the biggest bust ever.

Some highlights

Loving what I'm seeing from Ausar, but I still think the Pistons should have used Bogey and stuff to move up and get Whitmore when he dropped instead of the move they made to get Sasser. Here's Sam Vecenie talking about Cam. And if you want to rewind the pod from this point he also talks about what Ime Udoka is already bringing to the Rockets defensively. That's one where I think the Pistons missed out. Monty is 2.0 version of Casey, but I view Ime as the better coach:

I was a Cam Whitmore guy from day one

Maybe TNT can make a trade and send SVG to the Celtics in exchange for JVG.

Better for TNT, implode the Celtics, everyone wins.

Still facing charges of second degree strangulation and third degree assault. This was just the charge for the neck vertebrae.

So, Charlotte can rest easy knowing that he's still a viable trade candidate.

I still maintain that Sheed's name could've been up there with Duncan as the greatest PF of all time if is head was on straight. Apparently, not much has changed for Sheed:

Good career. But yeah, he did not fulfill his potential IMO.

[Deleterious]

OKC cut him.  So they take a cap hit this year.  Next year they take a $1M hit since that was all he had guaranteed.  

 

[Deleterious]

Pretty sure Presti is determined to have a year where OKC makes all 60 picks in the draft.

hope porter saved his money.

he can go play in spain.

[Betrayer]

Deals that could've netted the Pistons more picks continue to come and go. Meanwhile, OKC makes all the right moves to gather more and more picks. Even when they're out of assets to trade they find a way to acquire someone else's problems and gather more picks.

That's how you rebuild. Keep getting picks until you land superstars unless you're the Lakers and you can just get them to show up at your door.

Of our 3 1st round picks from that year only Stewart has signed an extension.
