It is what it is.

Obviously KD did something wrong, but what can we do about it?

It's the double standard of being an NBA superstar.

Thats my point, there should be no double standard. He needs to be held accountable for his actions the same way other (Meyers Leonard for example) have been.

Totally agree with you.

We'll see what the NBA does.

I have a bad feeling KDs remarks are more popular among jocks, whether NBA or not, than we'd like to believe

Danny needs to stop looking at trades solely as value vs value. If there’s a player in the draft that you think can be a star, slightly overpaying to get that player will be worth the cost of the overpay *ten fold* in the long term. Halliburton was like 3 picks away from Nesmith and everybody on this Board wanted him and now he might be the ROY. Danny you’re a good GM but you’ve made a A LOT of mistakes recently. It’s not good enough to be good anymore, like truth18 said (lol) “ITS HARD TO WIN IN THIS LEAGUE”

EDIT: I think, like us, they'll be irrelevant in the playoffs. But it's been fun to follow them in the regular season.

Hayward and Rozier leading the Charlotte Hornets to the 4th seed when they were supposed to be leading our second unit to the championship :cry:

Kyrie Smart Brown Tatum Horford
Rozier Hayward

Smh.

**** kyrie.

Heard he called the last person to beat up Michael Rappaport to join forces and do it again.

As a guy who Danny left at he station of the Nurkic train, I feel these sentiments.

Apparently JJ Redick thinks that he should be able to pick and choose his team because 1) COVID happened and 2) New Orleans traded Jrue Holiday.

Sorry but no sympathy from me. It’s a high paying job. Move your family to New Orleans if it’s so important. Not like he’s a NY native anyway — he’s from Roanoke, VA.

Add KO and you have an ECF team. Unless Kyrie quits mid-ECSF series.

Griffin is a horse that needs to be sent to a glue factory they said...

Guy's having a massive impact as a role player for the Nets right now. High IQ players like Griffin will be impactful for a very long time but people are too focused on if he can still dunk.

People were questioning James Harden and his character too. Brooklyn straight up robbed Houston for one of the best offensive players of all time.

If the Nets stay healthy and LMA has anything left in the tank come playoff time the East is already decided.

Warriors just lost by 53 to the Raptors. Looks like the Raps led by as many as 60(!).

Gary Trent Jr was a cool +54 in his 30 minutes tonight. Unreal.
