Official 2022-23 NBA Offseason - Aces win WNBA Finals; Preseason; NBA Fantasy League last call

[PhDeac]

Finally, we have the answer to the question that's been plaguing sports fans every week. "What should I watch on Tuesday night?"

The NBA season starts today with two trophies on the line, the Larry O'Brien Trophy and 7-5 Frenchman Victor Wembanaya. Who will be the biggest winner? Which loser will get the #1 pick?

The League celebrates as many stars return and hope to stay healthy.

Can Kawhi Leonard return to form? Can he and PG stay healthy and take the Clips to the top of the West?

Can the full-squad Nuggets contend for a championship?

Can the Hawks or Knicks get back to where they were in 2020-21?

Can Embiid lead the Sixers into the ECF or beyond?

Can Zion stay healthy and lead the suddenly deep and talented Pelicans to the top of the West?

Will the Celtics maintain their momentum despite internal friction? Will the Celtics let go of Ime Udoka?

Will the Warriors maintain their momentum despite internal friction? Will the Warriors let go of Draymond Greene?

Will the Warriors and TNT continue to extend everyone's contracts except Draymond's?

How many teams will tank and fire their coach?

 

[DeacdeTejas]

Give me buys on Nuggets, Memphis, and Pellies. Selling Clips and Suns. Meh on Mavs, Minnesota, and no idea how Warriors will respond after last year and this summer

Give me buys on Sixers, Bucks, and Miami. Selling Brooklyn. Meh on Toronto, Bulls, and Cavs. Wait and see on Boston

Race to tank will ruin second half of season

Here’s my fantasy team in jaybone’s 16-team $100 league

Guards - Trae Young, Tyrese Maxey, Jordan Poole, Will Barton
Forwards - Kawhi Leonard, Herb Jones, Kyle Kuzma, Tari Eason, Patrick Williams
Bigs - Evan Mobley, Bobby Portis, James Wiseman, Daniel Gafford

#8 pick. Little to no prep. I went for upside.

Nephew is high risk high reward. I think we may see the latter.

I picked him in the 2nd. I wanted to get Bam or Sabonis there but didn't want to reach for Gobert with the uncertainty in Minnesota. I couldn't justify taking other guys who could just as likely miss a dozen games or so over Kawhi who could easily give top 10 value if he plays 60+ games.

i need to move to the west coast just so i can watch the late nba games

Unfortunate there will be a lot of meaningless games bc of so much tanking but at least they lowered the price.

I don't think the tanking will be that much worse than a normal year and I think the top half of the league is as good as ever

some interesting young bad/tanking teams too: detroit, OKC, orlando

Think most major books will offer you a games played bet?
