Makes a lot of sense. Could be cheaper than Harden and a better fit.

When have the clippers done any moves that make sense? :)
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Intriguing starting 5 the Blazers now have:

C Ayton
F Jerami Grant
Wing Shaedon Sharpe
SG Simons
PG Scoot

That's a fun lineup. Then they'll get a high draft pick in 2024 to add another piece to the young core.

Shams Charania @ShamsCharania
about 10 minutes ago

The Charlotte Hornets will have 2021 first-round pick Kai Jones away from the team indefinitely and there’s no timetable for his return, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Jones will miss training camp due to personal reasons, and team remains in constant communication with him.

Not a big rugby league fan in aus, but the grand final was on tonight. Flicked the game on 3/4 of the way through to watch my team drop the biggest lead in final history and lose. Ergh!

There’s a Celtics analogy to be made here, but it’s Sunday so no need to put ourselves through that.

How much longer will Belichick get in NE? Does he get to Shula’s record?

The last few years have withered my fandom for this franchise. And I like some of their young players.

They will continue to lose this way until they replace Jones. He's a statue who specializes in turnovers.

Maybe, but I don’t even care at this point and that’s kind of sad, but I feel like I might as well tune in again in a year or two when they’re done with this Belichick death spiral. Just a couple years ago I was taking my son to games and really still into it. Such is the other side of a dynasty.

I must be getting ready for BASKETBALL SEASON LETTTSSS FGGOOOOOOOOO
