Dirk shouldn’t be in the league, he’s been terrible for the last five or six years. Yet no push from the media or fanboys...still giving him “goat status” off one championship.

Well he is the Mavs GOAT and yeah he go them their lone title and if you are mostly a likeable guy that gets you a ton of goodwill.

He was still a pretty good player up until 2016-2017 and even then still a decent enough role player. It really wasn't until this year where he doesn't look good enough to play at all anymore

Cavs need to worry about the odds **** up their spot and setting them back four slots down.

I just want top 3 to maximize the odds. I don't think we beat the Cavs or the Suns. They're too good at this. But we have to out-tank the Bulls and Hawks. Not gonna be easy.

Yeah, I really almost would rather get the 2 or 3 spot. If we fall back we still get a PG (something we really need) like JA or Culver.

Jimmy Butler has been in Philadelphia how long? And he already starting with his BS.

BKN is 11-3 in their last 14.

DLo during that timeframe
18.5 PPG 7.8 APG 3.6 RPG 0.8 SPG
44% FG 34% 3PT 100% FT

Dinwiddie during that timeframe
20.6 PPG 6.1 APG 2.6 RPG 0.6 SPG
46% FG 40% 3PT 81% FT

Harris during that timeframe
14.8 PPG 3.4 RPG 2.7 APG 0.5 SPG
55% FG 57% 3PT 88% FT

Allen during that timeframe
10.4 PPG 8.1 RPG 1.4 BPG 0.6 SPG
57% FG 80% FT

Is LeVert going to help or hurt this run when he comes back? A lot of guys getting into a groove.

Their FA is going to be interesting. Are they gonna keep this core? Dinwiddie & Harris already locked up. They got LeVert, Allen on rookie deals. Kurucs was a solid find. Basically the only one in question is dlo.

If they can land a stud to wrap this around, they’re a lock for the playoffs next year. Another team we’ll be competing with next year.

I might be sitting courtside for Warriors/Kings tonight. The only problem is that the tix are through a high-up connect in the league so I can't go all troll-y being the Knicks fan yelling niceties at KD or even wear any Knicks gear for that matter. I'm really excited, but also frustrated because of the muzzle during such an amazing opportunity, and also slightly worried that I'll slip up and blow the whole thing for the future...

Levert and Allen are also garanteed for next season. DLo and RHJ are RFA.

Levert probably is the best Nets guard. Strong 2 way player with high celling. They must capped out in next season and use his birds rights to go over the cap to resign him in 2020 (possibly will have to max him out).

I think they will use a wait and see aproach on DLo. They will wait to someone offer him a contract sheet and decide if worth or not to match the offer. No one trusts his defense.

Bucks Raptors having a pretty good match-up for those looking for a game to watch.

Its all on you my friend.

If KD doesn't come, we know who to blame.

Is the Raptors frontcout is the best in the NBA? They’ve been great all year but this is crazy

Kawhi with 30/6/6 + 5 steals
Pascal 30/4/3 + 2 blcks
Ibaka 25/9/5

They need a hybrid F off the bench. Too early to give up on OG but they’re going all in now. Wonder who they’d target. Could Mario be an option?

Probably could use an upgrade at backup SG also since they need guys to perform this year. Lee might fit the bill.

Lee for Wright Miles works but I’m sure they have better options. Supposedly they’re going after Beal but they can’t get him unless WAS swallows Powell as well.
