And remember all those people that were clamoring for a wiggins - kuzma swap? Kuzma is another guy killing the bucks.

No way giannis stays in Milwaukee. Roster disaster.

to be fair I think it was only a couple of people who advocated for Kumza and they were justifiably roasted lol

Effectively trading Holiday for Lilliard ended any chance for the Bucks.

Happens so much....trading for the shiny object.

Giannis to the Warriors...book it (lol)

Jaden McDaniels making 25M a year and he is a much better player than Kuminga...Kuminga does not really have value on the market.

He's on a good run of shooting 3s lately. Also good with runners off Euro step for a guy that tall.

But I believe his contract goes way up after this season. Hmm, you're right it's mostly between $25 and 30 million for the next few seasons.

I think what helps them is that Randle has been playing well at the 4, hitting his 3s. Whole team has been shooting well, which is why they had a great finishing run and so far doing well in their series vs. the Lakers.

Wolves will be the big problem ... they got the defense and shooting. Nobody can stop ANT too...

With Pops stepping away from coaching, Kerr and Spoelstra are now the only NBA coaches with at least 5 years tenure. Something for the $hit disturbers who want to be rid of Kerr to think about.

The word "tenure," as used in an employment setting, refers to the length of time an employee has worked for a particular employer. Every time you change employer, your clock resets.

Thibodeau has five years with the Knicks. Donovan has five years with the Bulls. Lue has five years with the Clippers. Daigneault has five years with the Thunder.

Maybe the statement is supposed to be "more than 5 years tenure".

Knicks upset Celtics in game 1 of the second round.

Celtics took 60 3-point shots in the game and shot poorly to lose by 3 in OT.

But 45 of those 3PAs were uncontested and the Celtics only made 13 of them, to blow a 20-point lead in the 3rd quarter.

Knicks actually were one of the worst at opponent 3P% because they play off shooters. Supposedly their defense was going to improve once Mitch Robinson returned to the lineup.

It was a gritty comeback but probably a lot of luck. If they keep giving up uncontested 3s, they can’t count on a good NBA team to keep missing, let alone the defending champions.

Then Nuggets steal game 1 at OKC. Questionable strategy to foul with 11 secs left up 3.

**** the nba for rigging Flagg for Dallas.

Maybe Dallas looks to trade one of their centers.

Their odds were 1.8% to win the lottery?

LOL, LOL, LOL.

Silver probably will have a **** eating grin when he announces Cooper for the Mavs.

You can't have a top-10 market franchise risk going down. Dallas is bigger than the Bay Area.

playoffs haunted by injuries to stars because of crazy scheduled where teams play 10 games in 8 days and every other day in the playoffs with minimal rest between series. .
draft lottery clearly rigged (once again).
how long before that human gargoyle disguised a commissioner is forced to leave by any means necessary? his tenure has lasted long enough.
