PRED 🏀 @predhoops

Knicks would really think that they are just shutting the contract negotiations for now and trying to bring the focus back to basketball but other teams would surely look at it as a chance for themselves as an opportunity to bring KAT or Josh Hart or any other player as per the game of their teams.

@TheDunkCentral What a roster they build this off season. They planned that they would be building their whole roster around BAM and they exactly did the same. Giannis and Klay to join BAM into the starting 5, that sounds exciting and they have been proving the same in preseason.

@LegionHoops @ohnohedidnt24 SAS spitting out facts and seems like he has already made up his mind that MJ is his GOAT and why not, he really is. James and Sixers might be the favorite to win the chip this year but still what MJ did can't be replicated anytime soon. 2-3 peats, is not everyone's cup of tea.

He just can't say that because he does care about money and the other franchise which he just left is facing the same consequences of bringing him to LA. NBA declared that Kawhi wasn't at the fault and he was cleared to move away from LA and he chose Toronto for the same. Yes, he has good moments last time out here but don't think he could win the chip this season.

@TheDunkCentral @TheWestbrookEra @Fullcourtpass It's not only him but most of them were sad because this was unexpected. Russ is just a different breed on court and he has proved that with his playing style many times. Yes, he's 37 but still at least 1 or 2 seasons were still possible.

As Knicks reported that they don't want to discuss the contracts right now as their whole focus would be on the regular season to start but the same won't be true for the players. 2 friends out of 4, KAT and Josh Hart are affected by these Knicks decision and it won't be surprise that KAT moves away from NY next season.

@LegionHoops @VinceGoodwill If Detroit wanted Jalen Duren then why they gave him this bait that he would be fourth best player on the roster. And also why would Duren want to rate him higher as he had shitty playoff last time out. Not sure, who is having an advantage in this deal.

He might be the franchise player for @Suns but top 10 player of all time, nope wouldn't agree on that. Yes, for the past few seasons Booker hasn't been on the best as per his levels but he surely deserves what Suns have been paying him. He would still be Suns best scorer in the last 2 seasons as well.

Ahhh, was waiting for this duo to go up against each other but seems like this isn't going to happen right away in the next game. There might be not many games where these 2 would be sharing the court together as both, KD and Kyrie are towards the last stages of their career (Kyrie still not but KD is very much unless he pulls of a Lebron)

@NBAPerformances He was right on point from the start of the game but as a team Mavs didn't hold too good and were poor on court and Rockets didn't waste too much time waiting for that. They capitalized on the errors and took an early lead which is now reached to 23 with 5 to go in Q4.

Exactly what Rockets would demand from him. Sengun has to really take the responsibility for Rockets this season and dominate the number 5 position. Last year during that Lakers series he was making some errors out there but rn it looks like he would be making up for them. Rockets really outplaying Mavericks today, they lead by 24 with 10 to go in Q4.

Pistons giving him relief that he ain't their worst player on the roster😂😂 But whatever u say, from the moment they have signed Jalen Duren it seems like Pistons have more chances of making to the playoffs than missing out. They were table toppers in the East during the last regular season and they would surely want to maintain the same streak.

@TheSteinLine For sure, avoiding contract negotiations for KAT and Josh Hart. Might be very much possible that they would be looking for another team for the upcoming season. Looks like Knicks wants to deal with this later and for now they want to focus on the regular season to start.

Kawhi Leonard, KD and Austin Reaves, all three are good options which they considered to partner with Cade Cunningham at Pistons. There were a lot of rumors that KD might be leaving Rockets as there were differences between the FO and player. Kawhi for sure moved to Toronto from Clippers. Pistons finally extended Jalen Duren just before the pre-season and finally they are contenders to make playoffs.

That's one way to say that they aren't interested in discussing the contracts and want to move out of this incident right away. Yes, the primal focus should be the upcoming season on starting the season with all-power but players when these negotiations could add a lot more motivation for the players to contribute.

@LegionHoops Well, we are in China for the game of Rockets and Mavericks and here we are also seeing DLo making moves in Chinese Basketball. Good to see him play his sport in another part of world. BTW, Rockets lead by 6 with 10 to go in Q2.
