Looks like cap it's going to drop the next two years. Smart play by bazz to get those bird rights.

No idea what wiggs is doing right now. He hasn't signed, yet is still playing and risking injury.

The deadline is Oct 1st, right? So he has to either sign by tomorrow or not sign at all.

Also, they'll now draw the top 4 picks instead of the top 3. So a team could fall as many as four spots from where they ended the season.

Someone is going to tank and get burned HARD lol


I know it's not realistic but I've always thought the only true way to avoid teams tanking is to completely invert the Draft Order for the 14 teams that miss the playoffs. The team that finished with the worst record would draft 14th and the last team to miss out on a playoff spot would pick 1st. There are warts to me idea but you wouldn't see anyone tanking that's for sure.

Leonard out for pre-season and probably some of the regular season.

Kawhi Leonard Out For Preseason With Quad Tendinopathy
SEP 30, 2017 1:10 PM


Kawhi Leonard is out for the entire 2017 preseason with a right quadriceps injury.

Leonard is continuing a rehabilitation program for right quadriceps tendinopathy.

The San Antonio Spurs will provide a timeline for Leonard's return at a later date.

Teams would be tanking to just miss the playoffs. Also the worst teams would never get better. Don't want to see this.

I dont know why but I have always found the Clippers dull. Just every time I see them I mentally roll my eyes. Lob city never did anything for me.

Well, He´s a point guard and the best european player (outside of the nba) of the last 5 years or so.
And the Clippers "lost" their point guard in Chris Paul this summer, so... :lol:

Yeah, but they could still give most of those minutes to Beverley and Williams.
