The guys running the NBA are no dummies. They've created a great framework for very entertaining games... even random early-season mid-week games.
They sure are earning every dollar i paid for my Mexican NBA League Pass!

If he is serious about getting out he should negotiate a buyout. If not he should be quiet accept his game checks and start his planing for life after basketball. Why would he want to be traded? He should get a Nintendo Switch with a new pokemon game about to come out. Should have enough battery life for a 2.5 hour NBA game. | ||

I agree, but I think it is he wants to feel important or whatever. | ||

Lebron and the Lakers are way worse than I expected. Same with Houston wow. DeRozan appears to have improved his game, or maybe he's just playing for a better coach. Lowry is a fuckin assist-machine like I've never seen him before, wtf. Kawaii looks healthy and as good as he's ever been, even if he's still "getting his legs under him" Nick Nurse is apparently a much better coach than I feared he might be. Wiggins is still only worth about half of that contract he's signed to. Milwaukee is playing great and showing the progress I expected out of them. The Jazz still match up great against Golden State. Golden State is still going to win the NBA championship this year. I never did, and I still don't, understand why people think Boston is supposed to be so good. I think it's obvious Kyrie has been hit with the Rose bug and will never be the same after his injuries, I don't know what to think of Hayward either. Does Isaiah Thomas still play? | ||

Does Isaiah Thomas still play? i think the laker being a close to .500 team is exactly how good they are supposed to be and probably will be at the end of the year, did u expect them to be like unbeaten? they need less of rondo that is for sure. houston is supposed to be worse, maybe not like 1-5 bad but they chose to downgrade over the offseason. boston is supposed to be good because of their talent and depth, but maybe will run into issues like too many chefs in the kitchen, or maybe they'll be able to make the necessary adjustments thomas is still working his way back from off season surgery | ||

They're deep but their top isn't that good. Maybe you do need that unparalleled superstar to actually get a championship. What's the last championship not won with an all-time great? Pistons in 2004? Boston doesn't even have a top 15 player. Maybe not even a top 20 player... They have been stock piling talent but really on 8 guys get quality minutes and your top 5 are so much more valuable. It would really make sense for them to trade 3 very good players for one extremely good player and one good player. It might seem like a bad deal for them but they would be better. | ||

Especially in the playoffs where his 1on1 abilities become really valuable. But he's not in that "Lebron-Curry-Durant-AD-(Kawhi?)" tier. | ||

DeAndre Jordan is shooting 80% from the free throw line so far this year. Rule changes are not the only reason that scoring is up. Players are shooting better. Pace has been up like crazy so far. | ||

Rule changes are not the only reason that scoring is up. Players are shooting better. Pace has been up like crazy so far. I've seen a couple of nice 40 foot bounce passes by Jordan ... he has become a decent playmaker. Lots of big guys are becoming play makers and lots are putting the time in to evolve their game in every possible way.

He has slowly evolved into a better and better playmaker over the past 6 years. Generally speaking, every year Derozan gets a little bit better. It looks like this year was no different. | ||

Kings now 6-3. Fox is playing lights out this season. I wonder if the Lakers have any remorse that they didn't select him | ||

I think one huge advantage the kings have and Fox has no Lavar. It can be all about fox and what is best for him. Ball will always be accompanied with his Dad who is desperate for the spotlight and fame. True, although I haven't heard much from Lavar recently. Is he still spouting off? | ||

Not really, now that you mention it. I wonder if he has calmed down or if people just got bored of his shtick. I think it is harder for him to get attention when only one of his kids is in the league, the other 2 look very unlikely to make it. And the one is now about the 4th-5th best laker. I would be nice if he had just calmed down though! | ||
