[NBA] Comments that don't warrant a thread (DEC)

Even when healthy Zion Williamson would not help our defense. History tells us that stacking a bunch of big-time scorers together ultimately leads to diminishing returns. But more importantly, I can't imagine anyone is looking at the state of the New Orleans Pelicans right now and saying to themselves: "I want some of that!" Buyer beware.
I don’t think you can compare anything to the NFL. Pretty easy to keep the attention of the masses when you only have a 17 game season.
I think the Cup has been a success so far but it has a ways to go to be really intriguing. Sounds like the plan is to move it to later in the season next year and Id imagine they start raising the stakes some.

He makes some good points here. Brief summary for those that don’t want to watch: League has been “in trouble” for the entirety of its existence and every few years a “unicorn” event comes along and things trend up. League as a whole is doing well, especially internationally. Points out that ratings don’t really matter given the mega tv deal they just got and he believes ratings are down but interest is not (nba consumed in many ways other than watching full games on tv.

I'm not sure if it even matters unless the "unicorn" is intriguing in some way other than just merely being good at basketball. Being a good basketball player in 2024 is not really aesthetically pleasing. They're just grinding all game to get whistles instead of actually outplaying and outsmarting their opponents.
yeh I do think the foul seekers and the cookie cutter team builds/style of play are the two biggest things to address. The foul thing can be fixed but teams all looking the same might be a bit more difficult. Having said that, I still love watching the NBA and will easily choose to watch it over college ball which doesn’t have the foul merchants and allows more defense. The talent is the show, every night you see some player make an impossible shot or displace some other freak skill. That’s the draw for me.
While I do not rate MPJ highly he's a elite fit on the team he's not the issue it's Nnaji/Saric they need to add a pick and flip them, feels like a panic move from the Nuggets. Unless it's like Jimmy Butler for a MPJ package he's to good a fit even at the insane overpay price. The Nuggets need a PF/C who can give a solid 10-12 mins without tanking the team.
To many teams making panic moves for the sake of doing something.

I suppose they could want him because he is about 2 and 1/3 years younger, still signed long term and as far as I know, considered the better player. The only other angle I could see is maybe they want a big contract as a potential salary matching asset moving forward for a star. Ben and Bogi come off the books so they don’t have much for big contracts. The Nets have 15 first round picks to trade so I’d imagine they star hunt next season or the one after that. I’m still not sure they do it considering how good Cam has been this year and how he is happy with the Nets on a good contract.
Unless he did something off camera to initiate this it appears Jordan was not in the wrong here but is there anybody in the league that “squares up” more without ever actually throwing a punch.
