2024/2025 NBA Season Thread

Nah not really an indictment but idk if I have Ja right behind those guys right now

Curry, Trae, Lamelo, Garland, haliburton exist

Take Halliburton out but you right. When you put all these names down, shit the position is super stacked.

NBA might have a too much talent problem. Sheesh

It’s very easy to be that guy and not be that guy in 3 years

Not saying that will happen to Ja but like I was telling my son 5th letter the NBA changes dramatically every 4 years

He might just be another guy in 2 years

Ja ain't never gonna be just another guy in just a few years, but I wouldn't be surprised if he drops a tier due to all the injuries piling on and the league passing him by with the suspensions.

He still playing at an elite level on a good team.

Just not at the level of some of the guys you named.

Dropping a tier is being just a another guy

Like you said there is so much talent

If you expand the field beyond PGs and put them all in that tier there’s many players in that tier

Nothing wrong with being just another guy though

And I’m referring to stars not every player so just another star

But nah a player getting 20+ and 7+ on a decent percentage and getting like while being the best player on a team that's a 3rd seed can't be just another guy to me.

Is he where he was? So far nah. But he's still a tier below the top tier which to me means he's more than just a guy.

 

[Suckio Andretti]

Ja about to be the pascal Siakam of point guards

 

[southsil4lil]

 

[Suckio Andretti]

Why would he say he’s not going to resign? So then he’s going to opt out?

Lol stop being stubborn and realize what I’m saying

How much do ppl care about pascal siakam?

How much do ppl care about Paul George?

Brandon Ingram?

It’s not a slight it’s okay

 

[Iceberg_Taylor]

TALKKKKK YO SHIT BIG JIM!!!!

 

[Suckio Andretti]

Not seeing the incentive to move Butler then

Omg he’s not going to sign a new deal

Okay so go to FA and sign with a team at essentially 36 years old and see what your deal is going to be

That’s if you opt out

If you opt in you are now an expiring deal that a team has to trade for at the deadline but doesn’t really have to extend you

Now you’re stuck with the heat for an entire year?? Lol OKAY

 

[Ironman]

I think you’re right Tony because it’s in line with the lack of mins I was talking to south about

He’s not really eye poppingly great this year I’ve noticed the few times I watched him this season

It was very noticeable in the past

He was Jalen green’s son last night and for the first time there was a more athletic and explosive player on the floor

Yea that's fear and lack of confidence. Dude is scared

 

[Suckio Andretti]

Iron Man being more harsh than me

I’m saying there’s a chance Ja fades into the crowd of stars

He saying he a pussy Lol

My bad lol yall know how I am after a loss. Scorched earth

 

[AZTG]

Said he won't resign but didn't say shit about opting out. That's the right way.

What’s your take on it?

Heat don’t have MUCH leverage but I don’t think Jimmy has as much as he thinks

I think this helps both sides.

Suns want Jimmy, but Heat saying nah we won't trade him if the deal is right.

Then reports come out that Jimmy said he won't resign but didnt say he won't pick up the option. That means Butler stuck in Miami this season and next.

Suns don't have the luxury to wait that long, so they have to find a way to make the deal better for Miami. They gon get desperate and either trade Beal somewhere he wants and divert what they got to Miami or do some shit that works for Miami.

This only puts pressure on the Suns though, so as long as they stay interested, then this report is good for the Heat imo

Yeah pretty much

How do the suns get around Beal’s ntc? What if he agrees to waive it but then the Heat say nah we need more back

Or do you wait until you have what the Heat wants to get Beal to waive it?

What if they can’t get him to waive it?

Jimmy stuck in Miami and then he opts in but then gets traded to a team at 36 and he wants them to extend him?

For how much??? Lol

I think this could cause the Suns to trade Beal somewhere he wants to go. It's just gonna force them to be creative to get Beal traded and make a trade or two to get the Heat what they want.

Wild shit is Suns gonna do all that to still be ass
