2024-25 NBA Thread: Finals court designs NBA ordered off Temu finally came in (148 Viewers)

[msudaisy26]

I am hoping we get a couple of game 6s after tonight, but I don't feel confident that either series goes 6.

Mark Cuban, Shaq and Bronny's dad want to own an NBA team together. I know one for sale if somebody wants to get word to them for me.

TIA.

Did Cuban sell all of his interest in the Mavericks? I don't think he did, but would imagine he would have to,

I believe he still owns 27% of the team.

Correct, he would have to sell the remaining 27% before buying another team in the NBA.

But he wants to. And there's one for sale. And he likes the PNW. And its weed.

okc and denver were destined for g7.

Thursday Denver wins BIG.

Not sure I agree - it took a last second 3 and OT to get their 2 wins. OKC is just better - Denver may win game 6 to force a game 7 but I like OKC to close them out.

boston favored by 4.5 tonite. they have been favored the first 4 games on spreads between 6.5-9.5. i’m a homer, but i can’t see boston covering. i won’t say i can’t see them winning, well maybe i will. i just don’t know how they replace tatum and not sure psychologically where they are. who takes tatum’s 40 minutes and 20-25 shots? KP looks corpsey. maybe PP?

Paul Pierce?

[Anarchy99]

Unfortunately for BOS, Brown has had a net rating of -15 and KP a net rating of -13 in the Knicks series so far. Brown hasn't looked the same as he did last playoffs and Porzingis is struggling to play with his mystery illness that won't go away. They should probably try to get more minutes for Kornet (+46 net rating), Pritchard (+16), and Horford (+15). Tatum had a good game going last game, but he wasn't very efficient the other games (-4 net rating overall). They will probably have to use Hauser to give the other guys some rest.

But he wants to. And there's one for sale. And he likes the PNW. And its weed.

I absolutely love Cuban.

But about 36 months ago, he sold out his "beloved" Mavs to the POS Adelson family.

It was either for the payday, or "he didn't want his kids to feel the pressure".

Whatever the reason, if he'd sell his own Mavs down the river, why do you want him buying a team you love?

the guy did revive a moribund franchise that was more or less a laughingstock of sports. he gave Dallas life again.

Furls nailed it.

I remember the Mavs before Cuban bought them. They were a mess. The Ross Perot Jr. era was a hapless period of attrition that saw many moves but never any sustained success. Cuban comes in and did he fire the coach right away? No, he trusted his acumen and experience and his patience was rewarded.

In an era where NBA owners liked to stay in the shadows, this guy was at games sitting with fans, traveling to games, changing the culture of the team. It was refreshing!

So he made a business decision to sell and sell at a gigantic protfit. Sometimes you know when to walk away and who knows, maybe he had other reasons for selling than making a 3 BILLION dollar profit on his investment.....maybe Cuban hates the state of Texas and its politics and knows he doesn't belong there? Lord knows I couldn't wait to leave that idiocracy.

As for Portland, the list of local candidates to buy the team is short and the best option - Uncle Phil - has said NO. So the buyer will be an outsider, most likely. I could see Cuban partnering up with Shaq and LeBron (he has said as much) and buying an existing franchise vs being the ownership group of an expansion team. Cuban also won't want to pay the expansion fees that come with a new team.

Plus.....Nike is here and LeBron has a lifetime deal with the shoe company.


This isn't the dumbest idea I've ever had.

No, though that is the major worry of 978,145 goofy looking hippies who are terrified of being Seattle 2.0 and losing their beloved team to Omaha or Little Rock.

I *THINK* the NBA learned their lesson in the Super Sonics debacle. That was a terrible look for the association. They don't want that happening again.

With Seattle and Las Vegas getting new teams through expansion, I think Portland is fairly safe from relocation as those would make the most sense geographically.

But, the new owner will have to commit to a new arena and this city is impossible to work with. And, as I said earlier, outside of Phil Knight, the list of billionaires who live here is short. Very short.

So.....I dunno man. I worry it could happen but I think it would be a very sad day in sports if it did. The city loves its team. It's all we really have. There's steep hisotry here. Many Blazer players choose to live here after they retire. It's a special place. It's a WEIRD place. But it's also a beautiful place and the relationship between city and team has been a wonderful one since it got here.

I lived in Vancouver, Washington off and on during the 70s, including that championship season

Then some decades in Seattle (including their championship season), before the debacle happened.

I want the cities to keep their teams

Seattle and its powers-that-be, like Portland sounds to be, are very, very incompetent

And then he sold them to someone he knew who would be terrible.

I'd gladly vote for Mark Cuban to be President. Love the guy.

But he hung a fan base high and dry. And he was smart enough to know he was doing it.

Whatever reason he did it I think was probably good for humanity.

But certainly not good for his beloved Mavs.

Not a pump and dump at all One of the greatest owners ever.

It would be great if he still was an owner.

There are a number of different reasons why that could be and why he sold it to an obviously terrible ownership group.

I don't know why, but he did.

Guy made a business decision. He's not married to the franchise the way Jerry Jones is. I'd take Cuban every day of the week and twice on Sunday over 99.99% of sports' owners out there.

Loyalty died a LONG time ago.

 

[pollardsvision]

And does 20 years of great ownership really erase selling to bad ownership?

If Joe Lacob sold the Warriors to Donald Sterling (or insert whatever horrible new owner you want to put in), that sort of takes some of the shine off all the wonderful things Lacob did.

Certainly makes it harder to trust him going forward if he wants to buy a new team (which would be ridiculous cuz you just owned one and let It go)

I agree. He's awesome.

Like I said I'd love him be the next president. If the money he made off the sale of the team helps make drugs a little cheaper for Americans I think screw Mavs fans, that's awesome.

Or whatever he used the money for it's awesome I trust him to do great things with it..

 

[ChicoCat]

Sharp elbows.

 

[pollardsvision]

Anyway sorry for the distraction. Cuban ain't buying the Trail blazers.

He's got far more important things to do with his money.

 

[msudaisy26]

Celtics putting up a good fight so far.

 

[Redwes25]

Good half of ball. Celtics putting up a fight as I expected they would. I think Knicks got a little complacent for a bit there in 2nd quarter.

 

[Mister CIA]

Dylan Harper, can't ####ing wait!

Somebody tell Jim Harbaugh - I got it better.

 

[Instinctive]

Cuban is one of the five greatest sports owners ever. Weird that people have takes that not only isn't he top five (or maybe ten), but think he was bad? Lol.

Celtics showing some heart on defense.

Kornet for president!

Good to see the Celtics get 7 blocks out of their 48 year old high school physics teacher tonight.

Tatum's great but, for me, the game is faster and more fun without him.

 

[msudaisy26]

Kornet is making himself some money tonight.

Kornet for president!

He needs one rebound and three blocks for a triple double. I have never been rooting so much for one player that isn't on my favorite team to make it happen. I am still watching just hoping he pulls off the miracle.

 

[Craig_MiamiFL]

Nice bounce back by Boston

Some NBA draft combine news

Great game by the Celtics. Knicks just couldn’t get of their own way in the 3rd quarter.

Yeah and after game one the Warriors didn't need Steph to beat the TWolves.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Dort needs to get nice and comfy on the bench

No idea why they haven't started Caruso the last couple games. He has been their second best player in this series.

He can only play so many minutes. Better to have him fresher to close
