Spurs like Kristaps a lot according to the wiretap.

Is Leonard going to end up in the East?

It's pathetic that Realgm reports on stuff written by Frank Isola. He has no credibility, just another **** undermining journalism to line his own pockets.

I almost cant believe how bad Cleveland is these playoffs so far. They could legitimately lose in the 1st round.

I'd say you have to be crazy to doubt Lebron James. No matter how bad it may look, the guy delivers. If they lost game 7, it would be one of the biggest upsets in recent NBA history.

It really wouldn't. Clevelands roster is not good at all without Lebron. Put a good solid player like Otto Porter in Lebrons place and this series would have been a sweep. Maybe 5 games if that.

So much for a trade involving Walker for Leonard. KP is going to be an animal.

According to the article though they want the knicks to give up a first rounder as well? Sounds bogus

I actually like the idea of a KP for Kawhi trade, especially if both guys are unhappy as they are rumored to be. The Spurs can rebuild around KP and the Knicks can focus on trying to be good in a weaker east.

OKC got screwed in the PG/Dipo trade.

At the time people thought Indiana got screwed because Westbrook is a rogue that depreciated the value of Oladipo and Sabonis. Had people saying that Westbrook was playing on a team full of nobodies. It’s the reason why Durant couldn’t wait to leave.

Westbrook is a really weird player, he isn't really elite at anything (bad shooter, poor defender, not an elite dribble etc) but puts up insane stats. Obviously talking skills, not his motor or athletic ability.

Gaddamn. OKC had a **** ton of opportunities to make a shot or tie the game.

Westbrook is a great individual player and competitor that is a questionable winner and even more questionable leader.

I'm afraid that missing out on Donovan Mitchell is going to haunt this franchise for a long time.

BatumtheGlue · Post #696 » by **BatumtheGlue** » Sat Apr 28, 2018 7:15 am

It's really hurt to see Mitchell led the Jazz to second round in his 1st year as a NBA player. Meanwhile our 1st round rookie barely got some minutes to play.

I hope the guys who wanted to trade for Love have seen how bad he is, and on both ends. Even Frank would look better

Mitchell is just so damn strong,so many of his drives I think he has no hope but he powers through and finishes

I hope we’re not going to hear another load about Lebron not having enough support. It’s always the story when Cleveland lose.

He had his selected players, didn’t work, surround him with better younger shooters, I don’t think he knows how to use them.
If it’s not his play, he switches off

I hope Silas lands the ATL gig, if only so we can see how good of a coach he really is.
