Around the NBA (Non-Celtics) 2020-21, Part 1

Saw Nikola Vucevic's first interview with Chicago media. Skip to the end and the last question. I hope everyone loves something or someone like Vooch loves Orlando.

So, we've reached the point in which i'll root for the Sixers in the playoffs. What a time to be alive.
Nets and Lakers are officially the most hated teams in basketball.

Al Horford can just go home.

They really did Horford dirty. I mean I get they want to tank and develop guys. I get they probably cant trade him, and don't really care about the money. But NBA players work so hard to get there and then only have a very short time to play before they are too old. To waste a year of someones career in the back end is just bad.

No way they can really buy him out unless he wants to leave millions and millions on the table.

Well. He went to sixers to get paid. Pretty sure playing wasn't an issue. Doubt he takes a pay cut and moby is taking on that contract without getting an asset or giving up worse contact. Basically he went to okc to die a basketball death. And now his watch has ended.

According to Al he is fully on board with not playing and it was a mutual decision. He gets paid to not work and doesn't add more wear and tear to his body.

He still has two more seasons on his contract after this one, should be hard to move in the off season.

I feel the same way but apparently that's their plan.

I just looked into it and the final year of Al's contract is only partially guaranteed.

lol yeah. I watched the Thunder local broadcast they said that and played a clip of their GM or someone going on and on about what a great guy he is. Like wtf? "on board" or "mutual decision" is just a way to put it. He peobably asked to be traded or bought out. They said, ok, give back 90% of the money, he said ok I'll stay.

@Darth- My first thought was to blame him too. But who wouldn't change jobs for lots more money. I can't really blame him for taking a great deal. I guess blame the 76ers for giving a bad deal, but it made sense for them in a way. They needed to get better and it took him away from us. I think the blame has to go on OKC- they are the ones who traded for him and now benching him. Thats not a normal move.

Wow in the Hornets-Suns game, Hornets got majorly screwed on what should've been an and-1 that would've cut it to 3 if he made the FT, then missed a shot and Booker hits a tough shot to put them up 8.

I want them to lose for standings purposes but that's tough.

Graham 8 straight points to tie it. They were down double-digits in the 4th. The Hornets are mentally tough and fun.

Haha OT. Hornets are clutch af.
