Curry had arguably the greatest offensive season in the modern era last year. 30-7-5 on 50/45/91 splits. TS% of .669. PER of 31.5

He's a top 5 player easily, and should be a top 3 player. He's so dominant offensively that it doesn't even matter that he's not a good defender.

The Pacers should get the most they can for Paul George, and move on. The longer they wait, the less they're going to get in return. Look at what the bulls ended up getting for Jimmy Butler.

For the billionth time, if our offer is the best, they have to wait until after free agency starts. It's not like they are refusing to trade him, they just aren't being forest gumpish and trading him now for less instead of waiting 2 weeks.

Don't be a jerk, just trade him to us now. As they say, the longer they wait.....

What's the date free agents can be signed? I know it's not 4-5 days like it used to be, but is it a day now? The 2nd?

If Indiana trades Paul George for Wilson Chandler and Kenneth Faried I'm going to laugh my head off. But I'm cool with it, so long as he doesn't go to the Lakers.

Robyn Hayward is a gorgeous woman. If her husband comes to Boston she's going to give Gisele some real competition.

I keep wondering if Hayward and George is the best pathway to pursue with Brown and Tatum on the roster long term.

The thing is you give the young guys great mentors while making them earn their minutes.
