NBA Thread 2020-21 Season

I watch a lot of Hawks games because of Kevin Huerter. Trae Young is a great talent. John Collins is a very good talent.

I think they have a nice team but doesn't look like their parts fit. I like Huerter a lot. Reddish seems like a waste of draft pick and I don't really get the offseason run on foreign shooters. Personally I think playin with Trae would be difficult, and I think they need to move some pieces.

Sounds like Seattle may get an expansion team. Always thought it was crappy the Sonics left there. Much more entertaining basketball town than OKC.

They better be called the SuperSonics.

I will accept the Charlotte Hornets. I never accepted the Charlotte Bobcats.

There and Vegas would be my guess.

Might need ESPN plus. What a potential Timberwolves sale means for NBA expansion

They will be. That was part of the deal when the moved, like the Browns.

Minnesota would love to be in the East.
Las Vegas and Seattle though make sense for 32.

St. Louis deserves a team, but they’ll never get one because of how the Hawks left town.

 

[Finwad32]

My Phoenix Suns are finally going to be competitive again. Wasn’t sure on the Oubre trade, but, looks to be fine so far.

finally excited for a season again.

Switch Philly and Toronto.

I'm sure something that happened 53 years ago would come into play.

Switch Philly and Toronto.

This would set up the NBA to create a rivalry week where you play your rival home/home in the same week.

I agree with Philadelphia and Toronto but wanted to try and create some balance but yeah Boston-Philadelphia are rivals.

Boston, Philly and the 2 NYs makes sense too.

It has until now. It’s why the Grizzlies wound up in Memphis and why Kroenke had to include a clause that he wouldn’t move the team to STL when he bought the Nuggets (that aged well).

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I think New Orleans is more eastern than Minneapolis.

Using the Mississippi as the arbitrary divide...it’s a tie.

I thought about New Orleans but Minnesota fits that central division perfectly.

Is the mighty Mississippi in the NBA bylaws?

I don't want Minnesota and their perpetual crappiness to be rewarded with an easier path to competitiveness in the East.

Minnesota hasn’t had a squad since the Lakers played there.

Miami was in the Western conference in 1989.
Charlotte was in the Western conference in 1990.

Minnesota belongs in the East over New Orleans.
NO is further away for a majority of the East.
Texas, OKC, Memphis are close to NO.
