Because you've locked yourself into this roster for at least 2 seasons....its not like you've left yourself a ton of flexibility or ways to pivot out of it.....this is your team

Hey if you like it I love it

Its not a bad group of players, I think everyone would agree with that....nobody is looking at the roster and saying these guys stink

It was just the process of getting to this point, the strange collection of talent, the asset management and what's the overall endgame for this?

Can't say what the overall endgame is cause we haven't actually seen this team play a game together as built but I assume the idea is to foster a winning environment and culture. I don't think the immediate goal is to compete for a championship and it doesn't have to be. We're a young team with room for improvement.

I dont think the upside is there bro

You aren't competing for a championship right now which fine but you aren't necessarily doing things to put yourself in that position to do so in the future either

Obviously Scottie Barnes has all-nba potential but its not like the rest of your core group has a ton of room to grow...Poeltl, BI, Quickley and Barrett kind of are who they are at this point...are you going to give those guys another contract?

It looks its headed towards the same thing that happened with Fred, OG and Siakam

Im really not trying to talk down on yall, I hope CMB is great for Toronto

Im very interested to see what it looks like, I genuinely dont what to expect other than a good defense and a team that should be good in transition
 
I really hate this Ben Simmons trade talk to the Knicks. I hope Knicks dont make this mistake. I blame Mike Brown. He's the reason Knicks entertaining a Ben Simmons trade. Thibs wouldn't even do that.

NBC sets new details of NBA return

NBC announced several details of its NBA return on Tuesday, including its announce teams for Opening Night.

NBC announced Tuesday that Mike Tirico, Reggie Miller and Jamal Crawford are scheduled to call the network’s first NBA game in more than 22 years, Rockets-Thunder on Opening Night October 21. Noah Eagle and Grant Hill are set to handle the second game of the Opening Night doubleheader, Warriors-Lakers.

When NBC set Miller and Crawford as co-lead analysts last year, it was unclear how often they would work together or if they would alternate between the network’s top two play-by-play voices, Tirico and Eagle. For at least one night, it will be the former.

Zora Stephenson is listed as the sideline reporter for Game 1 and Ashley ShahAhmadi for Game 2, with both games having their own separate on-site studio team — Maria Taylor, Carmelo Anthony and Vince Carter from Oklahoma City and Ahmed Fareed and Tracy McGrady from Los Angeles.

In addition to the Opening Night doubleheader, which had been previously reported last week, NBC is also scheduled to carry a Martin Luther King Day tripleheader of Thunder-Cavaliers at 2:30 PM ET, Mavericks-Knicks at 5:00 and Celtics-Pistons — opposite college football’s national championship — at 8:00. Including a Peacock game (Bucks-Hawks at 1 PM, overlapping with Thunder-Cavaliers), it will be a quadrupleheader.

NBC also announced several previously unreported details of its game packages on Monday. The network’s Tuesday games will be branded as “Coast 2 Coast Tuesday” with coverage preceded each week by a 30-minute pregame show on Peacock. (The “Coast to Coast” branding was once used on ESPN’s Friday NBA games.)

NBC’s “Sunday Night Basketball” package will debut on February 1, the weekend between the NFL conference championship games and Super Bowl, before starting in earnest on February 22. The series will run through April 5, with occasional doubleheaders during the eight week run. The one-hour pregame show that will precede the Sunday night package will be on-site.

Finally, the Monday slate of Peacock exclusive games — titled “Peacock NBA Monday” — will sometimes consist of three games, with a 30-minute pregame leading in.
 
Need to have a package offered to have the players and refs mic'd during live games for the folks who can't get front row seats.

Would love to hear Reeves talking shit
 
Will Austin Reeves add more to that dribble, then behind the back fade-away package that he does to get his middy off?

Can't see defenders still falling for that shit he's been doing since his rookie year
