Why do NBA refs fall for this ****?

It's hilarious how much worse Embiid looks when he doesn't have an NBA whistle to bail him out. Some real sloppy basketball.

This is why I'm confident Embiid will never win a championship. I refuse to believe the basketball gods will reward someone who plays like this. He's a phony superstar.

Mark Price wasn't 6-3 rocking a 42 inch vert.

Come on Jrue, just retire bro ... you said you gonna retire this summer. Oh you lied, to plummet your trade value and not get traded. FO

Did Brook announced he is retiring after this season ? If so .... trade his @$$ too.

Those dudes got max money and intentionally drop their value as Bucks assets. I hate when players hurt their own team.

No one believed Jrue was going to retire. Brook might though. He's 2 years older than Jrue and has a 5 month old son.

Jrue netted the bucks Dame. Brook never really said anything about retirement. Weird to bash on players for wanting to end their careers to be with their family. like its just sports bro. don't take it so personal.

NBA free agency is turning out to be kind of bad for a lot of players... Either they get their Max Deal/100+mil deal, take a cut for a mid level exception, or bite the bullet and sign for vet min and hopefully cash in the next year.

For a Hall of Fame player, Westbrook sure is unwanted by a lot of teams.

Maybe he wants a lot of money but Tyus Jones would be a great pick up for a team like Denver. I get Westbrook is likely headed that way but he would be a nice fit there.

Another team that could use him is Orlando. I'm surprised Orlando hasn't done a deal with him to get a true pg.

Rock solid player. Was surprised I saw him still available and likely having to take a prove it type contract. Seems someone is going to get a steal there

I don't think the bucks or anyone around the league believed it. But I was incredulous that so many on this board thought he would just walk away from nine figures.

More bets have been placed on Bronny James to win Rookie of the Year (ROY) than any other player at multiple sportsbooks. James has attracted nearly one in four of the bets placed on the ROY market at ESPN BET. BetMGM reported taking a $1,000 ROY bet on James at 250-1 on July 6, from a bettor in Ontario, and DraftKings said that only Edey had attracted more money wagered than James in its ROY market.

What I wouldn't give to be so wealthy I could afford to give money away like this.

To the contrary, Westbrook pouted after they had to bench him & seemed checked out. Jokic wanted him in Denver & he's a basketball savant.

Denver's offseason has been a bit stinky.
