If Melo can stay healthy, he might make noise.

The problem is, the NBA hasn’t really tried to promote the new players outside of Wemby, and the Spurs sucked so much that it was a chore to do so.

And some players aren’t really marketable. SGA is top 5 or close to it, but isn’t being promoted.

yup.

Melo needs to put on the damn braces and get the hell out of Charlotte. Warriors already botched their future in the 2020 draft so he needs to look around at some of these newly-washed franchises and figure out where to go.

Or….. the spurs roll the dice and unloads some of those stockpiled draft picks and makes a deal with Mitch.

besides Lebron and Curry, who from this past generation was a draw?

and Curry became a draw in his 6th season

Wemby is already 4th in jersey sales

i think he'll be a draw

just gotta find another person.

fundamentally, it should be Zion. This should have been his playoffs to shine against okc, but the basketball gods are evil with that injury in the last game

Agreed. Tbh, Ja and Zion concern me because they're both a bit too injury prone. Otherwise both those two have marketable potential

Ant isn't/wasn't as polished as a basketball player as either but obviously he has the classic Jordan/Kobe optics to him

Like the other poster mentioned above, SGA does have that kinda Travis Scott appeal to him that youngins gravitate to but the whole college kid millenial vibe him and Chet and their crew having gone on.

I'm rooting for those 4 (Zion, Ja, Ant, SGA) to stay healthy and get/stay on championship level teams. Same inevitably with Wemby.

Edit- i forgot about LaMelo Ball, he been so damn injured as well.

Gotta disagree, I ike a whooole lot of the new talent emerging. So long as they're COMPETING it'll be all good

these nikkaz that are lazy and just trying to get a bag can :camby:

That's why nikkaz like Ant, Ja, SGA, and others with dog will dominate.

The NBA is the same wave as Black Music.

The New era boring and the old nikkas that was exciting can't do it like they use to.

What was exciting about LeBron beating the Pacers, Raptors, Hawks, Hornets, in the East for 10 years ?

Y’all overrated how “exciting” these old nikkas were

Ja is more popular for being wanting to be gangster than basketball player.

Bron was box office. He still pulled crowds on the east coast against the sorry wizards and 76ers.
