  1. Kawhi was born in Los Angeles per Wiki. Tim D in the US Virgin Islands which I suppose makes him a US citizen (?)
  2. how is GS luxury tax so much less than OKC given that the team payrolls are roughly the same?
  3. free agency has killed the team brand to a great degree. Ironically, GS is a throwback where the core stays together for several years and wins titles ie 80s Lakers/Celts 90s Bulls.
  4. Wiggins is not a natural shooter. Run and Gun, slamma Jamma type. Same with Butler.
  5. Jeff Green only $2.5m? something very wrong when shit players are making 4x that.
  6. all teams have the same rules, so why can't another become Super Team 2 ?
  7. I'm hoping there's a huge mixup with their agency management where Demarcus shows up at the Minnesota Vikings camp and Kirk at the GS facility.
  8. i sort of agree, Ariza is a big time player , NBA champ - but 6X the dollars? I'm saying Green is very underpaid, probably worth double and Ariza at his age is getting overpaid and he knows it so he bolted.
  9. it's cool how the high draft picks play in the summer. Even though they are spring bunnies, you'd think the teams would want to limit their exposure a little. Also, the crowds are really big for the summer games and the Sac-LAL venue was electric last night. Anyone watch that? Cool to have hoops year round.
  10. NNoels would have been a perfect fit for the 1980s, a PF who complements the Center by rebounding and running the floor for dunks.
  11. never really understood the legal justificaton for that veto. It's not like CP3 is MJ or Bird, good but not an all time great. Still kind of stinks of meddling. That should also destroy the conspiracy theories of the NBA favoring big cities.
  12. that Klay barrage against OKC changed the shape of the NBA for years. If OKC wins that series, plays CLE and wins the NBA finals, KD stays IMO. Maybe Lebron wins a couple more titles and stays in Cleveland. That brief Klay stretch was one of the most critical long term performances in NBA history.
  13. we await the AD sweepstakes for the 20-21 season when GS is done, Bron is aged, and the NBA does a global reset. That's a brave new world, but it's 2 seasons away.
  14. Houston isn't winning 65 games, probably 55 imo and I'm a rocket fan. They had a magical run last year and missing Ariza is a glue guy, is big. But there is some truth to Aggie08. Lebron with scrubs should have beat theim in Game 1 and , if so, probably split in CLE and the series goes 6 or 7. I think KD disrupts their flow but he does produce, but when he's off, GS is beatable in that game alone. Even without Cousins, I had Houston as not as good, so GS wins the west and then beats Boston in a competitive series.
  15. honest question -- how is Ariza worth $15mil/yr and Gerald Green only $2.4mil/yr ?
  16. 2020 is confirmed as well. Why deny that? After 2016 i knew they'd win 4 straight
  17. time to set aside this decade and prepare for the 20s. Damn, the 20s are almost here.
