If we're back to talking basketball, I missed this the other night.

Can we take a moment to talk about what an ass LeBron James is?

From the wiretap:
"When everyone thought the meeting was over, LeBron James grabs the mic, and from what I'm told talks for about 15 minutes," said Smith. "And he's talking for about 15 minutes in a fashion that turned everybody off because they had already agreed to what they were going to do moving forward. And he was talking about 'The guys beneath me. I have to look out for the guys beneath me.'

"To the point where you had people saying 'What the hell you mean...beneath you?'
"Danny Ainge needs to shut the **** up and manage his own team. He was the biggest whiner when he was playing, and I know that because I coached against him."

He's one of the biggest **** heads in the league so I dunno, real tough one to figure out.

lmao Jason Kidd to Philly would be amazing. Ty Lue is an actual good coach, though, hope they don't target him if those are the two options.

Watching Marvin Williams cut the Magic to pieces right now. Kemba couldn't get him to come here at the waiver deadline but if we try again this offseason I really think he'll come. He totally fits what we need off the bench and he won't be expensive at all.

I enjoyed watching him and his Blazer teams compete. Very sad news. RIP Cliff.

If Lugentz Dort is gonna stay out there much longer, he is going to set a new record for missed FGs in a game.

Marvin Williams is an old and washed and Orlando is a trash team missing 2 of their top 3 players to begin with who pretty much gave up after going down 3-1. He will be another year older too. I would rather have Carmelo taking 3s and midrangers even with little d

After next season, someone is going to give Dennis Schroeder his own team again.

Those early 90s Blazers teams were among my favorite non-Celtics teams. Especially 'cos they never backed down against the Lakers.

I swear the Thunder have got Darius Bazley and Lu Dort in the same roll as KD & Russ rn, and it's the same iso ball regardless.

31 pts on 15 shots, seems like an easy decision on Dortz. No one can guard harden longterm and any stats that say someone can are just small sample size noise.
