He's all done. I mean I don't know if he's guilty or innocent that's not for me to decide. His career is more or less over. All it takes is being accused. NBA and the Kings just launched an investigation today. If they don't fire him and they end up missing a key element in the investigation couldn't the victim also sue the Kings and the NBA?

I don't think Dick Joerger is laughing...but he's laughing.

Not a legal scholar, but for what? An NBA investigation doesn't even seem like something that would be required. Do they still have to interact if he is the coach of the Kings? Had she filed complaints earlier and still had to interact with him after filing complaints?

I would think they would be more at risk of losing a lawsuit if they fired him without any evidence and refused to pay him.

Pretty great article on the Lou Williams and Montrezl Harrell pick and roll. The clip of Harrell flipping the pick on a Williams crossover is pretty magnificent.

Jimmy Butler is a disgusting person. Also is a horrible teammate. The damage he is doing to the 76ers, they only have themselves to blame for bringing him in.

Imagine if this was the Celtics, and Butler doing this in Boston, and leading teammates astray.

After reading this, if Butler wanted to join the Celtics for the MLE, even the minimum, the answer would have to be no.

You think someone is bad, a troublemaker, bad news for their own team, a huge problem, and then you read this and find out it is much worse:

TJ McConnell on Jimmy Butler: 'He introduced me to country music'

How anyone can be a 76ers fan after learning about this, just very disturbing news.

Good for him, but I still maintain that he is just sticking around to get weird accolades such as this, as well as padding his stats.

Paul pierce. Lol. When asked who has better jump shot between him and Ben Simmons, Paul says
"I shot better than him since 3rd grade."

Pierce has had like no filter at times lately. If he isn't already friends with Kyrie, he should be.

Wire tap above. Lowry "we need to help Kawhi". If you really want to do that, you'll help him back his bags and get him a free 1st class ticket to the Clippers cause he gone.

In case you were worried about the Lakers actually trying to look like they aren't just run by LeBron - don't be.

Monty Williams is now the Suns new head coach.
Lebron becomes the new Lakers head coach once Lue gets signed by Lakers GM Lebron.

Everyone is going to talk about the Knicks having 16-1 betting odds next season, but no one will mention that the Celtics have 7-1 odds.

We're still in the thick of the playoffs, and so are the Warriors so I haven't made the thread yet.

But ALL these rumors with Klay and Durant being free agents... if at least one of them leaves (and def if Durant leaves)...

For the first time in about 6 years the path to the championship is open.

CP3 will be another year older. HOU is still great but he turned 34 today and has a history of injuries. You can't expect more than another good year being left on those tires.

A classic Warriors team is the favorites but they're very beatable.

I don't know who the title favorite would be.

Probably the Clippers if they get like Kawhi and Klay or something. Eehhh maybe not but they'd be up there.

It would make an AD + Irving duo about as talented as any team in the NBA. Need a little help with depth and the third start to have the talent to win it all but depth is depth and sometimes that works.

A non Durant Warrior future though. Even assuming he goes to NY is what for title odds?

Warriors
Rockets
Clippers (If Durant goes there and Kawhi does?)
.. Bucks?
Nuggets?

Seriously the door will be WIDE open. And an AD/Irving duo with a 3rd all-star does it. That's about as talented as any other team.

Those odds don't mean what some think they mean. If you add them all up, the casinos make a fortune since the 7-1 odds are probably really closer to 10-1 and the 16-1 odds probably closer to 24-1.

By that I mean if the odds were set in a manner in which all the 30 teams probabilities only added up to 100%.
