Why would Kevin Durant want to team up with Kyrie Irving?
____________________

“From everything that I’ve been hearing over the last few days, Kyrie Irving is heading to New York City,” Smith said. “Kyrie Irving is heading to Madison Square Garden with Kevin Durant. People in his inner circle are trying to bring the Nets into the mix, but clearly New York is the destination. The likelihood is it will be MSG.”

Pete's GM bro passed away. He was the guy who traded Vince to Jersey.

In fairness to Stanley he was basically doing what a lot of players could be doing with Phil Jackson around a Minny lake somewhere. I miss Richard Dumas I remember that dude didn’t care about hurting your feelings on a dunk. He had nutty hops.

From ESPN:

Among players who have been banned under the policy, the most recent are O.J. Mayo and Chris Andersen. Others include Roy Tarpley, Richard Dumas, Micheal Ray Richardson, Lewis Lloyd, Duane Washington and Stanley Roberts, many of whom were reinstated.

A player can be reinstated only with the approval of both the NBA and the players' association.

Guessing somebody didn't read the rules on how to play Three Card Molly.

Speaking of which, I (and, I trust, the good people of Philadelphia, both of them) remain thrilled that Banks County GA's Sheriff's Office royally screwed up the highway stop involving Mike Scott and his little bro, and that a judge was sage enough to call shenanigans on the whole scheme.

Hope Reke finally uses the time off to get his stuff together. Until then, he's "Florida Man" Evans. I can hear him yelling from here: "D@mn, d@mn, d@mn!"

If we decide to draft Sekou in the top 10 -- I sincerely hope we make a move to bring this kid in. Theyv'e known each other for years, and French Frank could serve a role in helping Sekou transition to the US and the NBA.

Knicks will reportedly look into trading Frank Ntilikina for draft pick

The Knicks will reportedly explore the idea of trading former top-10 pick Frank Ntilikina for another draft pick, according to the New York Post's Marc Berman.

While the Knicks don't have their own second-round picks in 2019, 2020 or 2021, they own Houston's 2019 second-rounder and Charlotte's second-round picks in 2020 and 2021.

Ntilikina's value is not incredibly high, however the Knicks could look to add either a late first-rounder or an early second-round pick for the 20-year-old guard, according to Berman.

Not sure why (well I know why) but I can't help but LOL at Earvin Johnson absolutely throwing Pelinka under the bus this morning.

And am I the only one that thinks it's absolutely automatic that Jeanie purposely blind-copied Earvin on those emails. She seems like a mean gurl. Wanted to get Rob caught up. See if she could start an office fist fight. :lol:

The Lakers died with Jerry Buss. The Buss kids are Fkin idiots and privileged kids who don’t know squat about running a sports team. Imo

It's absolutely amazing how often you see a successful business completely fall into disrepair when being passed to the next generation. The kids have no real idea how much work goes into building something that special. They only see the spoils of the work that was done mostly before they were born or even old enough to know about it. Sad ...

... but from a sports perspective, I don't even care. Burn, LAL, burn.

Oh but Jeanie was getting mani’s And pedi’s at age 6 while entertaining her friends in the mansion built by her dad and Magic.

I want this to be clear. Women in sports like Becky Hammon(kg’s love affair) is great, Jeanie Buss is an absolute nightmare for the NBA. Jerry is rolling over in his grave.

If I’m Magic I publicly go off on the Buss kids, Pelinka, Rob Lowe (cuz he looks like Pelinka and can be found in the corner deli’s of Beverly Hills..saw him there once lol) and everybody else trying to criticize him.

Eggsactly. I'd only add that Jeanie being a mean gurl has nothing to do with it. Her brother was almost as bad. Hard to lead trade calls with that silver spoon in the mouth.

Earvin would be justified in saying what everybody's thinking ... LA is a clown car right now. Makes the A$G look nearly competent.

And why'd you have to bring up Becki? Now I can't focus.

Does she do any clinics? What? Just want to learn some moves. What? Basketball moves. Get yer minds outta the gutter.
