NBA Discussion (Official Thread)

If you live where you can do in-game betting, bet against the Celtics in the 3rd quarter. It's almost always been bad in these playoffs.

Another negative third quarter for Boston (-8), but not quite the disaster of game two.

Heading to the 4th in game three, the Warriors are +43 in third quarters while the Celtics are +40 in the others.

The bizarre nature of this series continues:

Third quarter scoring - Warriors +43.

Other three quarters - Celtics +52.

Celtics lead 2-1 after three games.

Man imagine how disappointed I was when I was really excited to watch this game and then realized that I didn't watch it. God damnit. Completely forgot, somehow.

I picked GS to win the game and the series. :penguin:

Sources: Lakers, Nets discussing Kyrie Irving-Russell Westbrook trade
July 2, 2022
The Los Angeles Lakers and Brooklyn Nets are actively engaged in discussions on a trade package that would send star point guard Russell Westbrook to Brooklyn in exchange for star point guard Kyrie Irving, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

There’s palpable optimism that an agreement can be struck between the two sides this offseason, but there remain a few hurdles, sources said.

Draft compensation is an ongoing talking point for the Nets and they want shooting guard Joe Harris — who is recovering from left ankle surgery — and his remaining $38.6 million owed over the next two years included in the deal, sources said.

The Lakers have been disinclined to the inclusion of Harris, and are instead seeking the insertion of sharpshooter Seth Curry as part of the arrangement, sources said.

Curry is on an expiring $8.5 million deal.

The Nets maintain discussions have only been preliminary at this point, sources said.

Kyrie Irving trade rumors: Lakers, Nets actively discussing deal involving Russell Westbrook, per report

Other pieces would have to be involved, but the deal would be centered around an Irving for Westbrook swap
5 hrs ago

The Brooklyn Nets and Los Angeles Lakers are making progress on a trade that would swap Kyrie Irving and Russell Westbrook, according to Chris Haynes. Other pieces would have to be involved, but there is "palpable optimism" that the two sides can figure out a deal this summer.

Irving recently opted into the final year of his deal worth $36.4 million but is expected to be traded after his star teammate Kevin Durant requested a trade from the Nets. "If Kevin Durant is on the first train out, Kyrie Irving will be on the caboose as far as the Nets are concerned," Brian Windhorst reported earlier this week.

Why would the Lakers/LBJ even consider taking Irving? In a span of 6 years he has screwed over 3 different NBA teams, why would the Lakers want to be #4?
