Looks like Jabari Parker just shredded his knee again. They are saying sprain, doesn't look like just a sprain.

Sad stuff, kid has so much talent but that could really wreck his ceiling if he just tore that same knee again

Sig it until Booker gets good on D

That way we'll see how long it takes and see if SJ has become anything significant in the time frame too!

Draymonds triple double was cool but if I were his teammates and coaching staff I woulda force fed him the ball a bit more. Aim for that quadruple

Really shows you the way the game is evolving now. You basically need multi-tool type players like Draymond with elite D to win anything in this game.

Need playmakers at multiple positions IMO

Warriors can run a line up with 5 playmakers on the floor simultaneously so even if you play great D they're gonna be able to get a good shot

Compare that with our system: we rely on one guy to do most of the playmaking! And teams can key in on that and kill it

Need to expand the offensive system to take advantage of KCP, Harris, SJ being able to make plays

Apparently Fab Melo died of a heart attack aged 26!

WTF?

Something shady in Brazil. I find it hard to believe that he went through the nba draft process and multiple team docs missed some kind of heart disease that would have caused this by itself.

being that he was so skinny and needed to add weight i would not be suprised to hear him taking supplements or steroids(notorious in Brazil). In Brazil they don't need to make it look like a accident, they just straight kill you and dissappear

Ibaka traded to the Raptors for Ross and a first rounder.

Pretty appalling overall turnaround for the Magic, seeing as they gave up Oladipo and a better first rounder to get Ibaka this offseason.

That Magic roster was in desperate need of balance and to me it looked like Ibaka is definitely in decline.

I love it. :lol:

Does anyone know Toronto's cap situation? Could they resign him?

I dunno, but I know I wouldn't particularly want to commit to the type of money he'd demand. I think he could become one of the league's worst contracts.

Ibaka could certainly become one of the worst contracts and would be toxic for 90% of the league... but it's the sort of contract that a team looking to push their way into elite status is willing to eat. How well the Raps play the rest of the season and the playoffs will go a long way towards determining if it's worth keeping him. I haven't looked at the numbers, but I don't think they'll have cap room anyway. It's more of a question of whether they are going to be locked into 2nd tier status with no clear way to get over the hurdle, in which case what was the point?

Yeah, Toronto wasn't going to have cap room anyways with Lowry getting a new deal this summer too so if they're fine with going into the luxury tax for Ibaka they can keep him. Whether he's worth it is a different matter altogether...

I think if you erase all the trades Orlando has made the last two or three years they would be in a much better position. Hennigan needs to go.

Tbf some of these guys were swapped in and then out, but when you put it this way it sounds really bad.

Kyrie Irving thinks the government is hiding other planets from us, and that the earth might be flat. What a time to be alive.
