Well there goes my hopes of him somehow coming back to the Suns.

 

[Hattori Hanzo]

He was worth the haul of picks.

Nugs playoff rotation from last year:
Jokic, Gordon, Murray, Porter, Braun, Westbrook, Watson, Strawther

Nugs projected regular season rotation this year:
Jokic, Gordon, Murray, Johnson, Braun, Brown, Valanciunas, Hardaway, Holmes, Watson, Strawther

Last year Porter made 38M. This year they are paying Cam Johnson, Jonas Valanciunas, Tim Hardaway Jr, and Bruce Brown 37M. And Johnson is straight up better than Porter.

And Holmes was the 1st round pick last year who tore his achilles in the first Summer League game. Now back and healthy, and tore it up this year in Summer League.

They still have an open roster spot but they might be saving that for the trade deadline or buyout market.

Suns are apparently pushing hard to get Kuminga from the Warriors and I'm utterly flabbergasted why. He's a locker room cancer that thinks he's way better than he actually is.

That contract the Spurs just handed Fox makes me feel much better about Jamal Murray's contract.

Wow they must have a LOT of faith that he's gonna get back to how he looked in 22/23

Tre young is in the same $ range

Nugs have signed Kessler Edwards to an exhibit-10 deal, essentially a tryout for our last roster spot.

Edwards shot 50/41/92 last season and can defend, but he can't get his own shot at all. 100% of the 3 pointers he's made in his 4 year NBA career have been assisted.

Probably an end of bench guy.

Porter is gonna get toasted without Joker.

 

[Tw3ek]

The fact that people even think that Porter will even be able to play or recognize a basketball without Jokic is pure comedy. Everyone knows basketball doesn't even exist without him.

Look at what happened to Will Barton the instant he stopped being spoonfed by Jokic. Porter has no handles, poor hands, and no basketball IQ.

No IQ in general, really. He just said on his podcast that he makes all his dates listen to Andrew Tate to "see how they react"

 

[Fygee]

WNBA is getting spicy in the homestretch towards the playoffs.

Lynx are still dominating and considered the favorites to win this year. Their main scorer is back from injury.

My Aces are on 10 game winning streak after losing historically by 50 points at home and a middling season before then. Currently looking better than any other team and may take over second place

Dream and Mercury are playing really well.

Liberty seem to have forgotten how to basketball properly, mostly due to injuries and are tanking pretty badly now.

Did you see the one with Lana Rhoades? I had some idea that the guy was a Bible thumping idiot but man that interview was painful to listen to.

He also once refused to participate in a ceremony honoring him and a famous musician from their high school because the musician supported gay marriage. And he's an antivax moron.

His whole family is a bunch of religious nutbags. One of his brothers got kicked out of the NBA for gambling on his own games, another is currently in jail for killing someone while driving drunk, and yet another brother got a DUI after the other brother killed someone.

Lana looked so much better before she had all that surgery.

 

[Fygee]

Aces streak is up to 14, with a very broken Chicago Sky team up next and last regular season game against the Sparks, which should be a fun game with Plumdog playing against her former team. Neck and neck with the Atlanta Dream for second place with the Mercury still in play for 2nd and 3rd seed.

Lynx have 1 seed sealed.

Angel Reese said some really dumb shit publicly about her team and was suspended from the Sky/WNBA for it.

On the NBA side, haven't seen anything but rosterbation and power rank fantasies.

[100proof]

Lana looked so much better before she had all that surgery.

Pretty much a universal. Even with the best plastic surgeons, there comes a point where you just start looking like an alien. It's not a matter of if but when.

 

[Hattori Hanzo]

On paper and with all the injuries, the Knicks are number one in the East

 

[fickmichcommander]

It's been like a decade since the Nuggets started a season with a healthy roster. Hopefully it finally happens this year.

Sucks to start every season with 1 guy already ded for the year.

 

[Fygee]

Lynx are on their way to the semis as expected. Storm beat the Aces by 3 points to snap their 16 game winning streak and tie the series 1-1. Others are also tied 1-1.

 

[Fygee]

Aja Wilson wins a historic 4th MVP award. Well deserved, even with some incredible competition for it this season.

Aces follow it up by dropping a stinker of a game at home to the Fever, after forgetting how to basketball gooder in the third quarter. Fans are in a panic that we're back to our old first half of the season ways.

Lynx also mostly dominate the Mercury.

Still hoping to see an Aces vs Mercury finals so at least one of my two favorite teams wins.

Jokic on signing his next contract extension next summer:
"I don't think about it. I think those contract extensions come as a reward, something that is natural to the sport. Especially in today's NBA, you see how the salary cap is going and everything. My plan is to be a Nugget forever. So, that's my answer."

Suck shit all you Lakers fans wishcasting Joker to LA.
