Don't think there are any. He was waived by GSW long before he announced his retirement.

Hmm. Didn’t watch him much last season but he’s been a solid talent and contributor his whole career. If he stays in shape, by March... Oh yeah, that’s right, Wade wants that spot.

I’m still hoping for Iggy via trade.

NYK might surprise people this year. Their French 6’6’ PG Frank looked good in the World Cup. They have a redemption team of players like Randle, Morris, Thabeet etc who have something to prove and they also have hungry talent like Smith Jr, Elfrid Peyton, vets like Taj Gibson. Not an all bad roster. If coach makes them a defensive team, a solid machine, they could surprise. I think the Nets are one Kyrie injury away from being the second best team in NYC anyway.

So there was blatant collusion between PG13 and Kawhi. Where do we stand on this?

There is a report on this is the only difference I see. If you think these guys are moving around while never talking to other players, agents or team representatives you're wrong. Getting caught is the only thing I see here. It happens all the time. To me it's more indicative of the top players only wanting to be on teams with other top players or in large markets or both. Our FO and LeBron's people basically got AD to say LA or nothing. Not sure that's what the league wants either.

Curious how both teams will fare if the rumored Hayward for Thompson + Clarkson trade will push through.

Cavs get a vet leader with Love that can still contribute. Celtics get another serviceable big and someone to replace Rozier. Imagine the HORSE show with Kemba and JC.

It'd be mighty rich to be pissed about this when Klutch was pretty much trying to get AD to Lakers since last December.

Ya win some ya lose some. Props to Jerry West. Supposedly he went to wherever Shaq was, and cut off orlando magic at the time. Im more concerned about our interior strength with the loss of Cousins. As we have no idea what were gettin with dwight. Supposedly clevelands big is on the move.

not sure if the word mocked is used in a positive way or a negative way.

Everything I've read in the past had Lemelo and lonzo making the NBA. The middle son was never making it.

I guess we’re too late to find out that Greg Oden was 38 when drafted, but still, why not? Quite a few players with inflated heights will be embarrassed for having been listed quite a bit taller than they really are.

Didn't want to make a thread and couldn't find one to put this in but what is the best section at Staples to see the game?
Is it better to be 5 rows from the court near the Lakers tunnel or near center court in the premier section?
