If it had been staged, he would have smiled at it.

Absolutely real. He's tired of people talking about that ****. That's his legacy they are talking about.

Mockery keeps on going

Read on Twitter

Ekpe Udoh for such a contract could be a great addition to OKC especially if team was able to dump Kanter, but as it seems unlikely they possibly did not feel the need for a 3rd center. In the meantime Jazz interior defense just got scarier.

It looked less staged on my second viewing. And especially the tweet. That seals it. I think it was genuine.

This is a classic excerpt from Road Trippin. Horry and RJeff talking about guys who come into SA after the fact don't do as well as their homegrown guys.

I hate Golden State fans. Not all, just a very vocal majority.

If it's here don't let them troll you, if they're trolling just report it.

The ones on their board are generally pretty good. The ones that only hang out on the GB tend to be pretty combative. RealGM's actually a lot better than most places.

If you're on Reddit, just avoid anyone not named swollencornholio.

Now's the time to try to snatch Kevin Love.

I know Cleveland is kinda a special case because of how dysfunctional Dan Gilbert is, but if they can't keep their stars after three straight finals, having lebron basically as a hometown guy, and spending whatever necessary, how do other small markets manage?

Also, this seems like the perfect opportunity for the Lakers to get a jump on next year. Offer Ball or Ingram and then you already have one star to put beside George.

There are enough small market teams that if they stand together they can have a powerful voice.

LA doesn't deserve a super team. They hired magic Johnson, who thought Jimmer Fredette was the next big thing.

Kyrie wants to play for James Dolan. I'm pretty sure Donald Sterling could build a superteam in this NBA climate.

They hired Johnson, but there is no chance pelinka signed on just to be a yes man.

Sure Rob's voice will be heard but his point that Magic is a moron and is now the head of that organization is correct.

Why is it breaking news any time nba players play a pickup game with each other?

Because the only reason they would do that is because they are planning on teaming up in the near future. So we all know that Russ, LeBron and PG will be playing for the Lakers next year because they were in Vegas together a few weeks ago. :lol:

Kanter and Durant are teaming up??

Kanter is going to opt out and sign with GS for the minimum next off-season. GS loses in the first round of the playoffs. Klay loses faith in the FO and leaves the next off-season with cupcake also leaving. GS collapses and never makes the playoffs again.

Kanter's departure gets PG and Russ to resign. OKC follows Utah in getting much better once Kanter is gone. OKC wins championships. :nod:

Just when I think you can't get anymore pessimistic you say this...and totally redeem yourself!

Did you guys see this quote out of Chicago on Payne!

“We knew the second practice [after he was acquired] that he couldn’t play at [an NBA] level,’’ the source said. “The only reason it took two practices was because we thought maybe it was nerves in the first one."
