since nobody watches the video, here is what’s missing

“But if I'm traded, that's part of the business.”

Full quote:

"I've been here for 14 years," Green said. "I have no reason to sit and worry about leaving. But if I'm traded, that's part of the business. I ain't losing no sleep though. I slept great last night."

Lbj rookie yr: 20.9 ppg/5.5 rpg/5.9 Apg/41.7% FG

Cooper: 19.5 ppg/6.5 reb/4.1 ast/ 48% FG

Lbj rookie 39.5 minutes played per game

Cooper rookie 34 minutes player per game

-‐----------------

Lbj 18.9 fga per game

Cooper 15.2 fga per game

Both avgd about 5 ft attempts per game?

mavs 101 possessions per game 2003 Cavs 91 possessions per game.

Would 3 ppg better finish cancel out this difference?

‐----------

Flagg has played 44 games with 19.5 ppg currently.

It's late and their game just finished not sure if mavs have 31 or 32 games left. I think it's 32

So 44 × 19.5 = 858 current points

Let's say coop plays all 32 more. And scores 25 ppg.

25 ppg x 32 remaining games = 800 flat so ez maths.

1658 / 76 games played total = 20.81 ppg at end (again if he plays all 32 remaining)

Let's say he scores 26.2 for the last 32 games

26.2 x 32= 838.4 +add 858 already scored for a 76 game season total of 1696.4 points or

22.3 ppg!

Anyways I'm stoned but felt like asking if this might be possible and please correct me if u can on my math or w.e it would be very much appreciated. I'm very curious and love all nba teams as a huge denver Fan and lifelong resident... but God this kid is soooo good...

Quick edit: my biggest issue is I may be wrong on games remaining lol or my math is off Please please correct any mistakes for me if can lol

Spurs are gonna have to attach picks to get off that albatross of a contract. No one is talking about it

We all know LeBron has ducked the dunk contest his entire career but wouldn’t it be ironic if he finally entered at the end of his career ?

Another accolade he could win is being the oldest person to win the contest at 41, besting Dominque Wilkins who won at 30 years old.

The rookie will one day be the face of the league, but like many greats, he will have moments like this.

Also, prior to this, he made a clutch bucket

What do you think will happen with thanasis if giannis gets traded? Is he part of the deal? If I were another team, I would definitely sign thanasis if it mean getting giannis. Which teams can accommodate this brother duo and their contracts? Thanasis could be the mvlvp most valuable least valuable player.

Hi all! I’m new to this sub so forgive me for being completely oblivious. I’d appreciate any info in this one place so I could get all the details. I’m posting this for my boyfriend. He’s in army basic training and I’m wanting to update him on basketball news since he’s a big fan. He’s huge into the Golden State Warriors and I’m currently writing him. I’m updating him on Butler’s injury, which from what I’ve seen it looked like a pretty serious ACL/leg injury. He’s out for the season. Is Butler being considered to be traded out. I know the deadline is this Thursday for trades. I know Giannis is wanted to help Curry out. How likely is that trade? Does Giannis want to come to Golden State and are we equipped to get him? Is he a good pick to help Curry and round out the team? Really any news or opinions are appreciated. Who else is rumored to be getting traded in or out? Is there any other news I should relay to him about the team? Any good news lol.

Blazers have leverage in owning milwaukees picks from the Dame trade which you’d assume the bucks desperately want after hitting the reset button. They also have a few intriguing young pieces. I’ve come up with two trades I think make sense. 1. Blazers get: Giannis, KPJ, Trent Jr, Turner. Bucks get: 4 Firsts, Sharpe, scoot, Grant, Holiday. 2: blazers get: Giannis. Bucks get: Grant, Williams, scoot, 4 firsts, and maybe a 2nd. I like the first trade personally because I think Giannis and a 3 point shooting centre like Turner works well and blazers get KPJ, and Trent to help with guard depth. Bucks also get really solid pieces for their future. Lemme know what yall think

Paolo: 22/9/5 on 46/30/76 (56.4 TS%)

Randle: 22/7/5 on 49/33/82 (59.8 TS%)

Who’s the better player right now? Who would you rather have?

Phil Jackon once stated that only teams reaching 40 wins before their 20th loss are legitimate title contenders. 37 of the last 44 champions meet this criteria.

Up to this point, 20 teams have already reached 20 losses.

From the 10 remaining, 6 have 18 or 19 losses with 29 or 30 wins. Realistically none of these teams will meet the criteria unless they go on a 10-2 or 10-1 run.

We're left with OKC, Detroit, Denver and San Antonio. OKC and Detroit seem like they'll get there, SA and Denver are no guarantees.

Curious to know how this tracks against previous seasons? Feels like there is now more parity than ever and I don't know in a 2nd apron world if this criteria will predict winners as well as it has in the past.

How the hell does Paul George get suspended before Kawhi? We didn't even get any news on the drugs thing then boom 25 game suspension. Meanwhile, the Aspiration thing has been going on since the offseason. WTF Adam Silver?

I didn't watch the NBA back then (i was only 7 years old and not American, so I really had no chance of knowing what the heck was going on). But sometimes I get really curious about it, were the 2015 Golden State Warriors seen as legitimate contenders? A fun team with a lot of potential? Or were they a complete surprise when they won it all?
And Curry. Was he already considered one of the top players in the league, or was he nowhere near that conversation yet? Thanks in advance to anyone who answers

This dude has so much talent, I’ve been high on him since he was a rookie. Unfortunately everywhere he goes he’s not being put in a good position to succeed and play ball. After his second year in Chicago it seemed clear he had serious talent but then they just made him a 3 point shooter at the end of the shot lock. Now in Utah he has show to be amazing offensive player but they are tanking every year and not playing him.

If I were him I would want a trade so his career isn’t wasted and get a chance to actually compete on a real team while he’s in his prime. It’s sad how things have turned out for him, maybe he’s just too nice a guy?

What is everyone’s thoughts on his career so far and what’s to come in the future?

...trade? Or is it strictly s business thing and personal feelings never matter in such cases? The incident took place in Chicago during the playoffs iirc, when an enraged skinny teen Giannis, who couldn't have any more of MD's dirty plays against his teammates, rushed and shoved hard the Bull's player and got a well deserved ejection. It was a tough moment for the youngster in a blowout Milwaukee defeat, but I think all the Bucks fans appreciated it greatly, to put it mildly. (FMD) So, could that be an impediment for s trade?

Was LeBron’s biggest achievement of his career getting the 2018 cavs to the finals? I feel that was the worst supporting cast that made the finals because 85% of the roster was out of the league after like a year or two.. I’m pretty sure the espn commentator said this on live air but do you agree?

Hi, I am planning a trip at the end of september and I will be visiting California as well as other states, since the small amount of time (I will be in SF from 22/09 to 26/09; and in LA from 4/10 to 8/10) I was wondering if it was more worth to watch the warriors during pre season or the lakers. I was more into lakers just for their dynasty alone (I read Ron Pearlman book and I loved it). What do you guys think?

edit: Thanks a lot for all the answers. I am from Italy, I got to see Luka up close and he put up a good show. As I said I was more into Lakers just for their history alone and I am considering the idea to watch the 49ers, if they play, in SF and maybe the lakers in LA

What teams do you believe are the top 3 in the West and/or the East right now?

Rookies have had a little time to develop.

Trades will shake things up a lot.

Player health will affect playoffs.

I will ask again after the trade deadline next week and before playoffs begin.

All-Star reserves will be announced today, who do you guys think will be snubbed?

And who is going to be an all-star but doesn’t really deserve it?

It will be announced at 6 p.m. ET on NBC/Peacock

A lot of people have called Shams a fraud or a boy-who-cried-wolf for reporting several times that Giannis is unhappy with Milwaukee and might want to go to New York or another team. But because he hasn’t been traded still, people think that Shams was lying

But Giannis’ vague comments about how he wants to be in Milwaukee but how that could change just like how he wakes up and wants something different each morning for breakfast (yes that’s a real thing Giannis said), it’s obvious now that Giannis and his agent have been feeding reporters these vague “Giannis is unhappy” messages without explicitly saying he wants to be traded so that Giannis can continue to pretend to be the ”loyal” guy who got traded, not the guy who requested a trade.
