Yes "retired" lol

And Jamal Murray is a stud. But none of that matters anymore

did they draft him with our pick?

Yes.

The next time Moz has a good game I’m sure you guys will bring him up too.

You dudes bring him up more than his supporters.

Infatuation.

Yeah, it sucks to be on the wrong side of history, eh?

You’re right. I really regret supporting the one guy to give this franchise any relevance and have us in the playoffs consecutively in 15 years.

Same people that hate Melo rep Kanter & THJ. Can’t make this up.

Yes.

I was a supporter of that deal which now looks terrible. However pairing Melo with Stoudemire still is the better prospect than keeping Chandler and Gallo. They didn't have to much of an impact either.
He may have signed with NY that summer, but we don't know what was card behind the scenes.

Don't know who saw this but it's KG and Barkley talking about how today's players are a bunch of sissies.

Watch on YouTube

The Bulls’ players are losing, and they’re simply okay with it. The ugly side of tanking. It’s gonna be hard to wash that stink off.

[WajaBawl]

Man I wish we had gotten Fox.

Dave Joerger said he doesn't see a ceiling for Luka Doncic's potential after the Sacramento Kings beat the Dallas Mavericks 120-113.

Joerger continued, saying that the next step for Doncic is to become a great shooter "and when that happens, it's going to make him quicker. He's got good ballhandling and he knows how to play. Perhaps there was an idea that there was a ceiling on him. I don't see it, unfortunately for us. But he's great for them and he's great for our league".

Doncic finished the game with 28 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists. The Kings passed on Doncic and drafted Marvin Bagley Jr. with the second pick in last year's NBA draft.

Kings regretting not taking Doncic

That Fox-Doncic duo would have been a nightmare for opponents. But I don't think Doncic had interest in playing in Sacramento, it's hard to imagine Vlade passing up on him. I know Vlade is well connected with his family and agent so there had to have been some internal discussion going on about Doncic's unwillingness to play in Sacramento. Without that being a factor it just made no sense for them to pass him up, it was a perfect match for so many reasons.

It was before not after the game, it was not right choice of words from Joerger I might agree, but media is spinning it to just show they are still ''Kangz''.

I said this before.

I think everyone are reading too much with his comment, I think it’s more of a compliment to the Luka and that they have to scheme for him and we will have to play them for years to come.

Like every other coach in the league is complimentary about other teams and players so it's nothing new.

[GONYK]

Thought this was interesting especially considering our situation, not to mention Fiz is a disciple of the Riley tree:

Even with a losing record and a top-10 payroll in the NBA, the Miami Heat lead by Erik Spoelstra and 73-year-old team president Pat Riley refuse to tank their season or undergo a rebuilding process.

On the topic of whether the Heat should tank their season for a high draft pick, Spoelstra responded “do the history on it. What franchises have had the most enduring sustainable success over the last 24 years? We’re up there with the top three or four. The teams that constantly tank, I don’t know where they are...but if you are hardwired to find a way to get it done without any excuses, you will find different pathways. There’s no one way to do it.”

Other NBA executives have noted the Heat's lack of flexibility in the trade market with Josh Richardson their most valuable piece, but they feel that Richardson would only be available if the Heat could land a star in return.

The Heat have been frequently linked as a potential destination for John Wall as they believe their unique team culture could rehabilitate any player

The same Pat Riley who shamelessly tanked for Derrick Rose and Michael Beasley?

Phoenix don't need him no more, they're gonna trade for Mudiay after seeing him up close tonight

[Strick]

Would you guys be intrigued by Zhou Qi? Don't have a ton of bigs... idk why not lol

[br7knicks]

NBA, this is your MVP:



guy can't even follow rule #1 of this game. NBA is a joke. he wouldn't be putting up half the stats he does if he was on the knicks, or if a JV ref was doing the game instead.


when knicks had melo, he'd get molested, time after time, with no calls. meanwhile, harden can't comprehend dribbling.

ahh, i just posted the same thing haha.


the dude is a joke to the league. the league is a joke for not being better about this. i get allowing 3 steps on a drive, but this is atrocious.

Could have sworn there were reports about it leading up to the draft. Maybe it was just smoke but I certainly remember reading about it.

[GEOLINK]

Watch on YouTube

SAS sources telling him that KD's reps are completely playing the Knicks.

Take that for whatever it's worth but I'm not shocked about it.

[Thugger HBC]

I don't understand why SAS brings up Donnie Walsh. Dolan was forced to hire him, and Donnie hired d'antoni.

I do agree KD isn't coming here, but he isn't playing the Knicks, and they haven't behaved like he has either.
