goodnight portland

every team sham roots for loses

and you want me to join baf. the audacity.

It's really swell. You'd love it.

[Chanel Bomber]

sounds like something nasty chanel would say about a great player to pump up someone he likes. nasty behavior from a nasty person.

Watch on YouTube

Dame is great, but a tier below the elite of the elite.

Oh... This...

Schroeder played himself out of 20 mil

I wouldn't offer him the minimum the way he's playing

[Richard4444]

Top 20 point guard. Everyone just doesn't know it yet.

he was supposed to be a FA this offseason. was towards the top of my wish list, but he signed a 3yr/27M deal which is a bargain

either he loves Denver or he got some bad advice from his agent. I was scratching my head when I saw he signed that extension

In the first 3 seasons, Morris made 4M. Then, he receives a 27M extension offer. He is a reserve. He can always get a serious injury. It's hard to refuse.

Booker is doing at the Staples Center what Kobe and Lebron had done to us for years at MSG.

No casual NBA fan will watch a Nets vs Suns/Nuggets/Jazz finals.

Who gives a **** about that?

I want to see one of Suns/Nuggs/Mavs/(Jazz) in the finals. These are currently the most exciting teams in the West. (Not necessarily the "objective" best given no injuries, no covid, etc.)

In the East it seems something between Bucks/Nets/76ers. Bucks would be cool. 76ers .. meh ... probably only works if Embust is Emrebust, but a fit again Embiid (I'm sceptical that's possible, but .. for the sake of imagination) against any of those four would be a great series too.

**** the Nets, ldo.

[TheGreenArrow]

we are all(besides GreenArrow) rooting against the nets and that's who is going to win it all - really goes to show this whole board is a collective curse.

Gtfo!!!!!!!!!

NEWYORKORNOWHERE!!!!!!!

Another mark in the game ... that may be why he wants you to join.

Let's recapitulate. He turned down 84m/4y in order to sign for something significantly better, possibly/probably with the Lakers. I don't think it was a conflict with the Lakers thing and 84m/4y was the maximum the Lakers could offer as an *in season* extension.


It surely will be very interesting to see how much he gets offered in the off season by the Knicks

[Oscirus]

did they just give torrey a tech for making the lakers create a flagrant?

even reserves in today's game get $, esp. the one's from playoff teams. sure, there's an inherent injury risk, but he could've gotten more $ and a better opportunity (starting) by waiting

Morris has been an impressive pro. shoots efficiently and has a great AST/TO ratio

+1 - and think of the sponsorship deals once the Nuggs win the championship.

i stopped paying attention after the 1st. but it looks like something happened. lol

I don't think he got another offer. Or teams knew Denver would match so they didn't try and offer him one. He's one of my favorite players in the league. I would take him over a lot of people. He's a really underrated finisher at the rim, a really good 3 point shooter, makes zero mistakes, he controls the pace of the game beautifully, smart af out there, an underrated passer and play maker, solid defensively. I guess you can knock his size but he plays big. Once Denver unlocks the Murray/Morris starting back court they'll have a real shot at winning one.

How much should the Knicks pay Reggie Bullock? More than 27/3?

just like the knicks benching Elf the Lakers benched Drummond and now they're both gone... hmmm

I forgot he was on the team.

[Worst_to_First]

Just yesterday Booker was an empty stats guy.

Only clueless people have underrated him. The talent was always there and he was always the real deal.

I remember when the homers here said that KP was better

To be fair I remember checking the Suns board back then and the Booker vs KP poll was actually close.

Booker such a killer fam as much as I am grateful for what our guys have done this season I really envy the Suns’ roster.

There arent very much cap-spaced teams this offseason. A good amount of cap-spaced teams might not be too interested in another small PG (Spurs, Hawks, Cavs, Raptors, Memphis). A lot of teams are tanking teams that may frustrate Monte (OKC, Houston, Detroit). I doubt he would be paid more than 13M/y.

is chris paul betting on this game?
