Rumors have it the Lakers could move KCP and Kuzma to free up money to re-sign Schröder, Caruso, and THT.

Old post but the Rockets didn’t get much out of that trade. Headlines that they got multiple 1sts ignore that they also gave back a 1st and an early second, and took on a bad contract for 2 years. Trade was basically giving up a late 1st for an early 2nd in exchange for dumping Augustin and brining in Tucker. Tucker’s value in that was pretty negligible.

Tampa loses a game
Tampa fans make a thread theorizing about a league-wide conspiracy against them

Every single time. No one cares that much about Tampa, dude.

They are probably the most insecure fanbase in realgm.

I can't even imagine what it's like when the Utah plays Tampa. The two fan bases can't help themselves but to cry on the other's board.

Life in a small market.

Two best game threads this year, though.

They have great weather! Some of the best in the country. Just go outside and enjoy it.

This conspiracy goes deep. Jet fuel can't melt fossils.

Wow, Brad Stevens just publicly acknowledged the Indiana rumors for the second time and issued a denial. This pretty much guarantees that it's happening and he's publicly denying it as a negotiating tactic to extract more money from Indiana in his contract.

All of a sudden the Boston Celtics are on the hot seat. A fascinating development.

Obviously not happy given the circumstances, but LeBron missing some time keeps Embiid in the MVP discussion.

Who cares about Lebron? I couldn't care less that he got injured after what he did to Embiid earlier this year.

Karma.

Unpopular opinion alert: I actually like LeBron. Yea, it was a hard foul but I don’t think anyone would hold a grudge if that took place in the 90s or 00s.

I also would rather the competition be based on both healthy rather than both sidelined.

I believe both have it.

But Tobias? He’s like Bruce Willis in “Unbreakable”.

Rafael Stone is doing a great job with the Rox.

Could have sealed it if he got Ben in return for Harden.

Think about it..

Ben
Wall
Kevin Porter Jr
Wood

That would have been a fun team.

Dipo is nice. But i think he wont re-sign with them.

I like Bron as ball player and a man too but, as a Philadelphian, I am hardwired to take all slights both perceived and real as a threat to my entire way of life. He laid hands on my tall brittle child and if this was the 00's you gotta go malice in the palace on the king.

I don't wish him ill but I ain't crying for him.

A couple of week ago the Rockets told everyone they didnt' want to follow "the process" so I suppose these 20 L's in a row are not real losses.
