It means his next trade target is Mr Tony Snell, the perfect fit for this team

Also, Silver should hand in his resignation.

Out of the four major sports, Silver is the best commish of the whole wretched lot, and yeah, that's a low bar. I think he's been fine, but the restructuring of the season and tournament would be a spectacular own goal. What's your biggest beef with him?

Silver is more concerned about the brand of the NBA than the actual sport of basketball. More interested making money off things like gambling than caring about the game of basketball. Silver thinks the NBA is product that is consumed instead of acting as a steward of an important cultural institution.

Anyone who is paying attention can see that the 3 point shot it warping the league to an unhealthy degree. Blowouts are way up and the games just aren't as close. Silver has been asleep at the switch.

Look at the differences between average biggest lead in a game, they have been steadily rising for a decade:

Plus the players completely owning him has been bad for the league.

It's weird watching a Clippers game and seeing other teams actually be allowed to play defense on Harrell. Yeah, I'm still annoyed that for whatever reason Harrell gets treated a like 3-time MVP by the officials when the Clippers play the Bucks.

Such a major disappointment he's been. Can't be replaced fast enough.

Bjelica three downs Rockets!

and he just said "F*** it we deserved this win" on the live interview with the Kings commentators. Wow.

“Shot that from Serbia and drained it.” Also, was Harden pissed off at Westbrook after his go ahead shot?

Bjelica insane shot

Raptors board would have been highly entertaining had the Raptors lost to the Bulls and had a 4 game losing streak.

NOP lost again by the way. Probably should just tank and sit Zion out the full year. Ingram is the real deal, Hayes looks promising and if they can add another serious piece via draft (and maybe trade Jrue for another) their future is real bright. I admire trying to win without AD but it doesn't look like that is happening just yet.

No shortage of entertainment at any rate.

Try to imagine a board following a team that has morphed overnight from playing at a solid top-3 seed performance level, which is what he had up until our thrashing of Utah, into a bafflingly arrhythmic and anemic play for the next four games.

Do you think that Ingram is a for sure matched contract? I am intrigued by the market that may be out there for Brandon Ingram.
