Would Jokic wanna be there if they go rebuild mode?

I mean if we had to take him, Chicago may be willing to trade Vucevic.


Thats too much for Jokic. Maybe P-Will

NBA needs to revisit the continuation rule in the offseason.

The Knicks will trade everyone for Joker except Brunson. Brunson and Joker would be great in the East.

They’re not even close to being worth that even with Jokic. Imagine what they’re worth in a vacuum. Nuggets nuked their chances giving these two half their salary cap.

Harlan is like Gus Johnson super fun but I'm not even sure if they're paying attention half the time.

Porter should never handle the ball. Just shoot.

Harden just fouled the same way Braun fouled him earlier.

Harden had some wings at halftime and forgot to wash his hands. Happens to the best of us.

Braun's a bargain at $3 million. Too bad they couldn't have 12 Brauns for the price of one MPJ.

We will need another asset if we have to give up Patrick Won'tiams

also could you imagine how good he'd look with Jokic!? He might just be mid instead of bad!

It is a dumb challenge even though they should win it.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….
