  1. Like they havent been talking to Dame all summer. LOL
  2. The Heat would be very smart to get him. Would be funny in POR got Herro for him.
  3. It was a waste.
  4. Meh, to be fair Bud should have been fired years ago. Winning the title just made them have to keep him. Trading one guy isnt some major overhaul. I LOVE Jrue but he was supposed to be a stopper. Jimmy Butler took his soul and then he couldnt score at all. Dame aint gonna defend like Jrue but he aint gonna ever not be able to score. Pick swaps are MASSIVELY overrated. They dont mean shit when barring a MASSIVE disaster the Bucks wont be near the lottery anytime soon. And if worse comes to worse they can always trade Giannis and recoup quite a few picks. I know the swaps are a relatively new thing but when has one panned out to allow a team that is very good take some bottom feeder team's pick?
  5. The Jae Crowder who couldnt even get on the floor in the playoffs?? You think they are going into a season starting him?? LOL
  6. yeah they definitely are not keeping Jrue. I saw one report saying the deal hadnt been finalized as they were trying to get another team in to take Jrue. We will see.
  7. How? They barely gave up anything. Jrue, Grayson Allen and a 1st is not much to upgrade a position. And I love Jrue but what Jimmy did to him in that series signed his death cert. He was the defensive stopper. If he cant stop AND he's struggling to score, he becomes useless. LOL
  8. I know many are down on Ayton but I think he can still be something. They get him on a decent deal to pair with their young guards and then will try and flip Jrue again to get more.
  9. The Heat played themselves. MIL gives up Jrue, (Fuck) Grayson Allen and a pick to get Dame?? They couldnt do better than that?
  10. Pelinka seems to have figured out how team building works. He's done a pretty great job the last 10 mos or so
  11. To each his own. I LOVE the NBA and I LOVE the W. Not sure why some feel the need to down the women's game. Its different but I thoroughly enjoy the games. The talent level is visibly better from yr to yr with more younger players coming up who have been playing at higher levels earlier. There are some real ballers in the W and I like that the NBA players represent and show up for them. Agree with what was said earlier. The league is still in its early state at 30 yrs old. The NBA was not anywhere near where it is now at that age and there was even talk of the league going under at that time so expecting the W to be a money making machine right now are not reasonable. Sports teams are investments just like houses. They cost you money every yr but over the long term the value increases. If you dont enjoy the game, cool. Why bash it? It doesnt effect you in any way if you dont watch it.
  12. He was hyped almost as much as LBJ at the time.
  13. I guess we have different definitions of "work" but I disagree. Not even making the ECF is not a success. They got one franchise player out of all those picks and even he either flames out or peters out every yr when they need him most. What good is getting the picks if your scouting is shit and you waste them? The Fultz pick was especially bad.
  14. Oh yeah the Sixers history has been incredible. Doc, Moses, Barkley and on to Iverson lives completely separate for me. Since Hinkie started "the Process" I've rooted for nothing but their complete failure. I've always HATED tanking so the tanking on steroids bullshit was horrible for the NBA. As bad as it was from a competition standpoint, the overall embrace as the best way to build a team by so many respected talking heads made it even worse. Further, I'm generally extremely "anti-hater" but over these last few yrs Embiid's unparalleled bitchassness has made me enjoy their failure more than any team I've ever known. I hate them for making me a hater LOL
  15. No franchise deserves this fate more than the Sixers. Fuck the whole org

    He was a friend of mine
  17. Not one of her teammates stepped up for her.
  18. True. This song is playing when I think about either of them.
  19. Dont minimize Harden doing this in China where Morey is hated for his comments a couple yrs ago. Morey has bent over time and time again for Harden. As recently as May they let Harden go to Vegas in the middle of the playoffs. He's like a spoiled child that's been given everything he has ever asked for then finally being told no.
  20. Pretty wild to publicly state this. Even wilder considering how he and Morey have been over the yrs. There is a reason you dont do "wink-wink" deals. Shit can change and one side may back out. And I get athletes are always gonna think they are the shit and need to make max money but reality is with his age and history/reputation thinking that someone is going to give him full max is pretty wild. Especially coming off another pretty spectacular flameout in the playoffs.
  21. Interesting tweet about the thought that many shared about the "middle class" disappearing
  22. I dont understand why someone would even worry about this. Way too much of counting other people's money in sports today.
