Incredible? Maybe if they unlock Rui's potential, it's a worthy gamble but wouldn't say incredible as of now.

And Austin Rivers is STILL getting rotation minutes in the NBA. It breaks my heart that fake Clippers fans still disrespect him.
The man gave us his all. This is LEGEND.
The man has banked over $50 million as a professional and is still busting ass at the league minimum for love of the game.
$50 Million. And counting. May we all be as big a failure as Austin James Rivers.

Re: Around the NBA II
Bamba should remind Austin that people only know who he is because his last name is Rivers.

Austin may have made $50 million gross but wasn't like 60-70% of it it from one contract given to him ... by his father?

So in other words, he'll be hiring Isiah once the backlash quiets down. Yikes.
I mean why else would Isiah's name even be brought up here?

Isiah is the GOAT sweet talker, not surprised he nabbed another FO gig. Just took the right circumstances, being a green behind the ears new owner.

Re: Around the NBA II
BTW, I get the Austin Rivers podcast on my The Ringer NBA podcast feet once every couple of weeks.
Listened to a couple of episodes, guess it gives a picture into the daily life of an NBA player.
But at 30, I didn't hear any particular insight from Austin that you wouldn't get from any other vet.
He's getting about 20 MPG on the Wolves. Would be interesting if he gets regular minutes in the playoffs.

Re: Around the NBA II
Podcasts have officially jumped the shark if Austin Rivers has one.

Austin's days in the NBA are numbered--he's a minutes-eater playing for the minimum
and looks like he may just have lost his rotation minutes
podcast is probably thinking about a second career
washed at 30

As always, players around the league just don't respect or fear CP3 like the media wants them to.

I love Dame
For the love of the game...
"While I understand we play to win championships, we all want to win the championship, we can't keep acting like nothing matters, like the rest of the stuff, the journey doesn't matter," Lillard said. "We can't keep doing that. There's so many ways that the league is different. There's so many ways. I think about it all the time, like, man, I don't know if I can just play a long, long time because I don't enjoy what the NBA as a whole is becoming."

Warriors about to drop another road game to ATL, so we’ll stay ahead no matter what happens tomorrow.
