This. Most Raps fans are cool. But a lot of them continued to troll here big time even after they beat us and even after they beat the Warriors. Their insecurity was laughable. And sad.

I woke up to check ESPN to see who played when for Wimbledon. Instead I’m greeted to this lovely news.

The Paul George Day thing is my favorite thing on the internet. It wins, hands down.

Three heads might be better than one
But true genius Ballmer has LED clearly outdone...

Take 35 million or so per year
do you get thoroughbred Kawhi --
or our topped-out bum steer ??

You can be mad at the circumstances... that we dont play where Kawhi is from and where he has always wanted to play, but it doesn't make much sense to attribute that to Ballmer being intelligent. If Kawhi and George are both gone in five years and they didn't win any championships it's going to get VERY ugly over there fast. This is a huge gamble.

Best case scenario for the Bucks. Horst has to go all in this season, I expect a big roster upgrade or two. East is too wide open

Next season should be the best in a long while. Am I wrong to say 10 teams could have a shot at the title?

Lakers
Warriors
Bucks
Sixers
Nuggets
Jazz
Rockets
Clippers
Blazers
Nets if KD comes back late?
Celtics? (least likely imo)

This list helps puts the East vs West disparity in perspective, the East is just miserable next season.

It would have been amazing to win a championship this year. But man, I feel bad for the Toronto fans (Most of them), they got less than a month to actually enjoy it.

Why would you feel bad for the team that just won the championship? I am insanely jealous of their success.

Horst hasn’t coasted at all this offseason. He’s done an incredible job keeping this team competitive and the owners happy. All while acquiring picks to possibly trade for quality players mid season like he’s done for two years.

Toronto made a trade for a rental. They knew that and got the best possible outcome, a championship. But let's be for real here, not many will want to live and play outside the US. Granted money can change everything but in this case with KL that isn't a concern. Winning in this case was clearly not enough. Then you add playing for your hometown?? Done.

So Okc has to be gutting the rest of the team right? Adams and Russ have to be on their way out. I wonder how much value they really have. Russ is a declining **** and Adams is a bit of a relic from the past in terms of how he plays. Or are they going to just play it out with Them and Gallo?

The Rap trolls are all over the general board. One that even tried to tell me that will all the cap space they now have they were going to go and get Giannis.

Safe to say, the Clipps are trying to win it all this year? "Eat, drink, be merry; for in five years we die...." :wink:

Raps fans have been the worst on r/nba for years. Down there with Rockets fans for the worst on the internet imo.

Wonder if TOR will start their rebuild or panic trade for Westbrook and Adams.

“Live and Play outside the US” technically correct but once you have Canadian cell service do you really notice it’s out of the US? It would be more of a cultural shock playing in San Antonio or OKC depending on where you are from.

I can't really feel bad for Raptors fans. I feel like if you told them ahead of time that they could get Kawhi and win a title, but only have him for that one year, they would all agree to that in a second.

There are a lot of Raps fans passed out drunk that don't even know I'm going to And 1 all over their dam board all day today.
At a party given by a billionaire, Kurt Vonnegut informs Joseph Heller that their host had made more money in a single day than Heller had earned from his novel Catch-22.

Heller responds, “Yes, but I have something he will never have — ENOUGH.”
