Year Round Basketball Thread + NBA Fantasy League

Seems this post is pinned so here are the 2025/26 award predictions that I've received so far! If you haven't sent already then feel free to shoot me your list!

Yeah it's a loss for them, especially going into a playoff run. Aaron is an above average replacement but it's definitely not an ideal situation, as one of the reasons they brought him in was to have added strength, not as a replacement. Hope Murray recovers well, ACL is a bitch.

 

[SirSamuel016]

I had the Nuggets placed at 2nd for the west not considering their record for the year, when it comes down to it that team is really damn good and if the nets hadn't of gone and built a super team I'd of said they were likely to win a championship in the next 3 years. Murray is a great dude, and this is really shit for him. Hope he has a speedy recovery

I suppose now we'll see if Jokic can keep the team together and still push them towards playoffs, securing the MVP award along the way.

It'd be interesting to see how Jokic grows from here, in terms of team dynamic. Jamal's always been the "heartbeat" of the team (imo), while Jokic's sort of taken a backseat, supporting everyone on the court. Now he'll have to do the same in the locker room. They'll definitely make the playoffs, and that's probably Joker's test to step up as the "guy".

Weird situation heading the winner bracket, but the losers' one is

If Milly beats scav he takes his spot and only needs one of syx or faust to lose to make it to the playoffs.

I don't think that'll happen

I feel bad for Murray.

 

[Faust]

LaMarcus Aldridge retired.

Damn. That's unfortunate.

 

[goldb]

That was very sudden, true definition of breaking news. But I understand his fear, so at the end of the day when your health is involved, take the decision that is best for yourself and your family.

 

[M3J]

Feel horrible for him, but I hope he stays well.

I read he had something similar in his rookie year but he said he never felt this bad.

Had a great career, no regrets. Yeah yeah 49 away from 20000 points and no RANGZ but fuck that.

 

[scav]

Donovan injured, what is this bad luck?

--- Double Post Merged, Apr 16, 2021, Original Post Date: Apr 16, 2021 ---

fck this season tho, 2nd half is too packed

Rip @goldb

I said day one that this pace was ridiculous, surprised there aren't even more injured players. I was really expecting cp3 to go down in this final third for example.

 

[goldb]

Damn, there goes Shai. I knew he was being re-evaluated but now another 2 weeks?

Yes the schedule is ridiculous, Miami for example, had a lot of games this week.

--- Double Post Merged, Apr 19, 2021, Original Post Date: Apr 17, 2021 ---

Trade deadline is in an hour I think...

 

[Faust]

LeBron O for sale!

40 minutes!

Faust again

Instant veto obviously

 

[Hakuteiken]

No trade clause league next season so that we can counter mad people

 

[Hardy]

Why do you hate me

 

[Hakuteiken]

If you rank teams by transaction count, you will know why

 

[scav]

ok faust tried to give and drop all his players.
removed him from the league and added the players back to his roster. gonna set daily rotation and leave it like that. ffs, wasted my time.

 

[goldb]

All I kept seeing were app notifications about massive trades then one final one about a vetoed trade
