Before I start moaning for Zion I first need to stop doing it for Ja. NY would absolutely fell in love with that crazy psycho. Zion with the highest expectations, his injuries, limited minutes and losing basketball... not sure about it.

I’m a Blazer fan.

I’m also right about this

NYK should continue to build your team, this year is just another step to long term success.

Utah-Milwaukee Finals is what he deserves for changing the All-Star game format, putting ads on jerseys and the play-in tournament.


Denver - Milwaukee would be worst because the media will probably not even be covering it. Imagine Joker vs Giannis, they flat out hate both euro dudes.

They want NY and LA.

What would be your ideal offer for Lillard?

I'm just gonna say it. the best package for lillard comes from gsw and it's wiseman, t-wolves pick (s/b top 5) and a boatload of 1st round picks. this is not so dissimilar from the anthony davis haul which was lonzo, bi (both #2 overall picks) and a boatload of 1st rounders. it brings dame back home and portland can start over

I could give a sh*t if sports went totally spectator-less.

KP with his best 7'3 Steven Novak impression. Not a single shot blocked, outrebounded by 5 guys on his own team.

Luka is such an incredible talent... The Robin to his Batman is a 7'3 corpse and it doesn't even matter. He's basically willing the Mavs to an upset of one of the teams that was favored to make it out of the West.

The Knicks just need to spend the next 4-5 years doing WHATEVER it takes to build a team that this guy would want to join... or accumulating enough assets to trade for him should he force a trade.

He'll be running the league when the current generation of superstars goes into decline.

Paul George?
Randle is better than him.
I remember Drexler, Porter, kersey, duckworth days.
Blazers need to retool and Lillard is the best asset.
Good luck~

I have no faith in Giannis leading the Bucks until he starts shooting better - though I hope you're right. F the nets.


Beauty of it is that he might not have to lead with offense. But who is stopping him pf the Nets?..and Drew Holiday is looking scary. That teams as a whole looks scary in a very balanced way.

And the way they dismantled the Heat has me thinking that can definitely beat the Nets. I actually favor them for the series.


I'm not letting you guys get my hopes up for the nets to lose to the Bucks. I have no faith in Middleton, Jrue, Giannis winning close games against KD, Kyrie, Harden.

Especially with Giannis not being able to make FTs or shoot in the clutch.



Believe brotha the Bucks looked THAT dominant. The nets will be in for the shock of their lives going from and undermanned Boston team to them...
