Lots up in the air for the next NBA season but it looks like they are hell bent on a Xmas start. Fine for the teams that didn’t make the bubble or advance far. For others a very quick turn around.
So far Chris Paul goes to the Suns and Jrue Holiday to the Bucks. Harden rumored going to the Nets to join Kyrie and KD but not settled and he reportedly turned down mega $$ to do it.
Lakers (CHAMPS) moving Danny Green for Dennis Shroder and AD opted out as will most of the Lakers. Will have to rebuild entire squad again.
Unlikely to have in person games for the beginning of the season but I could see fans back by the spring.

Chris Paul keeps moving around with that contract that logic would suggest is untradeable. Maybe CP3 will be the missing link...to making the playoffs as the 8th seed.
I’m hoping Harden does get traded to Brooklyn, because that team would be its own worse nightmare.

If you are trying to tell me that now is a good time to try and recruit 23Skidoo as a Raptors fan, I hear you loud and clear !

If you couldn’t do it when Kawhi was on the team I doubt you could do it now. But good blast from the past. 23Skidoo!!!! |

Dwight Howard signs with Philly after texting “purple and gold never gets old”. Lakers turn around and take Montrezl Harrell from the Clippers. Meanwhile Raptors move to Tampa Bay I’m glad they got Tampa as a temp home ! It’ll allow the players to get outside often during the pandemic, and also expand the fan base to a new region. I’ll feel at home when I wear my Raps gear down in Tampa (where I go at least every few years). Harrell is a big time upgrade from Dwight, and a big loss for the Clippers. VanVleet is getting resigned by the Raps, which is huge news for me, considering he is my 2nd favorite player on the team. Just gotta retain Ibaka now...

Is that what these guys make nowadays ? He's not even an all-star, or is he ?? $$

Is that what these guys make nowadays ? He's not even an all-star, or is he ?? $$ The highest paid players in the league make about twice that much, and many of them have never been part of a Championship Team. FVV earned his money by coming up huge in the Conference and NBA Finals, and then following it up with a fantastic first year as a starter. He didn’t make the All-Star Team last year, but came close (10th number of votes in Conference). Only 12 players from the Conference make the A-S Team, and the Raptors already had 2 shoo-ins, so it was a tall task for them to be awarded a 3rd from the team. He’ll have some elections in his future though. If the Raptors didn’t give him that money, someone else surely would have. He’s a key piece to their future, especially as Lowry inches closer to retirement...

An Undrafted player too.

FVV is a nice player but the eastern conference is much weaker. Easier to be an all star from the East than the west
