National Basketball Association - 2024/2025 Season

Ah yes, that seems unnecessary. Wouldn’t expect it to be noted if he was some other nationality. Maybe it was a hate crime.

Ian Eagle is the GOAT basketball commentator, but that video is super old.

Siakam to the Pacers for a weirdly hefty price considering he’s a free agent in a few months

I think their success against the Bucks has given them a lot of confidence.

oh no

It’s not really a hefty price. We gave Bruce a bag of money to hit the salary floor over the summer for situations like this. 2 highly mediocre pics in a weak (?) draft that will end up being low and late 20s and a 2026 first. We have no real need for any more young players. We kept the entire young core and added a former all NBA player at a position of need that will fit like a glove. We could not have signed him to a max over the summer without waiving 2-3 valuable players.

We will offer him a giant contract and he will sign.

Pacers suck at drafting and free agents don’t come here. This is how we have to get talent. The raptors gave up a better first for Potel lol.

Was weird how he said he would not sign an extension with anyone who traded for him and would wait until free agency, but now traded he is indicating he might sign an extension.

Saw a breakdown and Joe challenges out of bounds plays twice as much as average and those are by far the highest to be overturned, like 73% or so.

Siakam and Haliburton 1st team all-skeleton

My amateur scouting report = Very tall.

Kind of wild, I thought there would be a lot of interest in seeing Wemby, Cs tickets have not been cheap lately. Could get floor seats last night for $80. He got a big ovation during the starting lineups, then loudly booed for each free throw. He had a couple wow plays - one dunk over a helping Kornet (where Kornet’s facial expression was like “Well, what can you do?”) and a semi-driving banked in lefthanded shot from like 6 feet that was pretty special.

Floor seats for $80, wat? Does floor mean something different in the Boston arena?

Lol $80 barely gets you in the door in Footprint Center.

Didn’t know Boston was such a backwater.

KAT with 44 at halftime.

Yeah, guys. The secondary market price was unheard of.

That’s why I mentioned it.

Gets 62 on night embiid gets 70.

And records a plus-minus of 0. In a loss. At home. To the Hornets.

Is that the most in history that wasn’t the highest of the day?

EDIT: Looks like no by 1 point.
