Do NOT want to hear "KD to MIA"

It's too funny to me that KD didnt want to the Warriors

The fans kept running around minimizing his impact, Draymond did, their GM did, and they thought he would come back

Curry looks cooked anyways

Toronto really loves 6'9 sf. Raptors and Sacramento collecting super flawed hard to build around scorers like they are trading cards.

Watch them getting Cooper Flagg and playing him as C or PG :lol:

Silver wont let Canada get Flagg.

Is there any more perfect place to get the next great whote hope with one of the most patriotic name ove heard than Washington?

Either that or CHI

Wizards will probably trade him in 3 years for pick and some 18 years old who's yet to hit puberty

Damn, Miami got more value for a disgruntled (and old) Jimmy than I imagined they would. I hate it.

People still think the lottery draft is rigged? :-)

He is fine. Right winger that is massive treat to score from outside from 60-80 feet with left foot.
But he is not some uber- talent.

GSW has no reason to be patient...expect them to grab Vuc or, at least, Olynyk to give them more floor-spreading from C spot. They are back in the thick of things - as they should be with Curry still rocking hard.

As mad as I am about Butler's BS, I love that team and I love that they're never satisfied.

Luka's generational, AD is unreliable...but I'm not writing off DAL yet.

When will Luka's calf be ok? Will it haunt him? Is there something to DAL's concerns about Luka's conditioning?
Is a motivated mature Kyrie going to remind everyone that he has MVP-level talent and a perfect partner in AD?
Is Kyrie with the ball in his hand a LOT more significant than spending so much time off-ball?
Will AD reach new heights playing next to a young C that he's been whining for (Lively AND Gafford)?
Would the Supermax of appx $75m per year kill DAL's ability to field a decent team (is the Supermax a bad thing, in general)?
Will Kidd be able to smash the NBA with the defensive weapons he has longed for? Will they add more (KCP, Isaac)? are they done?
Will Luka even stick around in LAL after LBJ's retirement party...it just CAN'T be too far from now. He's superhuman, but human.

Not siding with Nico...but maybe more to the story - there usually is when something looks this nutty

I can't believe the Lakers got Mark Williams for the other half of the trade they were supposed to send to the Mavs to make it fair for Luka!

You couldn't write this nonsense!

MAYBE WE SHOULD BE THINKING LIKE 2K IN TRADES.

A truck full of Super Soakers filled with Soda and menthos for the entire Western starting all-star squad.

Your move Celtics.
