  1. Lowry was the 3rd or 4th best player on a team that didn't do shit last year. He's worth $30M per for multiple years? Tfoh
  2. Damn. It's not that hard to avoid this kind of shit in order to earn 100 million dollars over 10 years and set up your family for life. And yet
  3. The question is not whether they can get someone equal to valanciunas at ten but whether they could have gotten someone better than Adams at 17. I'm a big fan of Steven Adams and think he sacrificed a lot to make Westbrook look good, but he does not fit with this Memphis team. Memphis got worse in the present without a clear upside for the future. Dumb dumb dumb.
  4. I don't know how those rankings are calculated but Simmons at #32 in the league is pretty laughable.
  5. I'll take "Things fat people complain about for 800, Alex."
  6. My biggest beef with your take is equating Booker and Harden. I fucking hate watching James Harden play basketball. What he does is not remotely similar to what Booker does. Harden will take the inbounds from one baseline, dribble it into the frontcourt, dribble out the shot clock, and take a step back contested 3 without anyone else touching the ball. Booker will never do that.
  7. I guess you hate basketball then. Bookers offensive skill is on point. The way he consistently hits jumpers on the descent is beautiful. He did not have a good game in the biggest game. Doesn't mean he's trash.
  8. I didn't mean choosing done or the other,I just meant actual dollars to offer them. They're not max guys by any stretch but some team will be willing to pay more than they are worth. Will Denver do a bidding war for either?
  9. ESPN had a list up of each team's free agents for this year and next. Random thoughts: 1. The Spurs should not resign ANY of their free agents this year unless it's a sign and trade deal. 2. Dallas should chase hard for Jarrett Allen and one of Reggie Jackson, Lonzo, Norman Powell, or Gary Trent Jr. Not sure how they make the money work but they should try. 3. Knicks and Heat could have whole new teams next year. 4. Denver going to have some hard decisions to make next year with Gordon and MPJ wanting to get paid. They'll also have to decide if the Bol Bol reclamation project is worth continuing. He looks skilled to me and I'd like to see him in more minutes.
  10. I don't think it was hesitation. He ran the break the way you're supposed to. Keep ball until defense commits. He kept CP3 in limbo until he was out of position to make a play on the pass. He then three a perfectly placed pass. Watch the slow mo in catdaddyhorn's post. Jrue is looking for someone filling a lane almost immediately. Once he sees Giannis his eyes go right to the rim, size it up, then briefly tries to look CP off before throwing the dime.
  11. Maybe, but if he wasn't hurt the Nets are probably still playing basketball.
  12. It's a hot take b/c it's just wrong.
  13. Disrespectful to Klay, who was one of the best 2-way players in the league while also being a flame thrower on offense. I'm team fuck Kobe, so say whatever you want about that dude.
  14. TF is this hot take? I'm normally with you on basketball stuff but this is disrespectful.
  15. Did you watch Gobert get run out of the gym against the Clippers? DPOY? pffft. I'm with Shaq on Gobert. He would be fine in the 90s as a starting center but in the modern game his inability to score coupled with his exposure on switches makes his status among the unwashed masses a farce.
  16. The point was clearly the awesome kayaking, rock climbing, adventurous lifestyle humblebrag. I thought that was obvious.
  17. He has at least as much offensive game as Clint Capela and Rudy Gobert. He could easily be a starting big in the NBA.
  18. I actually would like to see the 76ers send Simmons + a first to Clips for Kawhi + a second. Even coming off the ACL a half-year of Kawhi might be enough to get them over the hump.
  19. This shit truly had me laughing out loud. I'm rolling.
