ATL - 2021-22 Regular Season Begins

Now that it's getting ugly would the Sixers reconsider a Brogdon + picks offer from Indiana?

Indianapolis is the antithesis of what Simmons wants in terms of lifestyle and I find that an extremely appealing outcome to a spoilt man-child throwing a tantrum.

As a fellow Aussie, I'd love it. It's pretty impressive how quickly we've turned on Ben. Like even with Bogut and his need to take the wrong position on pretty much every social issue I can forgive because he played for Australia when he could.

I have no issues with Ben- that organisation fairly willingly threw him under a bus and seemed very open about wanting to trade him, if he wasn't in the mood to play in the Olympics I get it and if he doesn't want to turn up to play for Philly I get that too.

I still can't work out why a retired Kendrick Perkins is a thing.

Why would any non-Lakers team care about being on LeBron James' bad side?

LeBron leaves the league and teams are still going to throw $85 million at Lonzo Ball and Rich Paul, or any other agent, are going to sit there and collect their percentage for answering a phone call.

I get what he's saying but one example was probably TT getting overpaid when Lebron was still a Cav and the management didn't want to piss off Lebron so he would jump to LA. In the end TT got overpaid and then Lebron left anyway.

Yeah, I think the Wimbledon attendance was pretty much the straw that broke the camel's back for a lot of us. But I've always had an underlying suspicion of his attitude and lack of quality as a human.

On Bogey.

The fact that he's a prick on a multitude of issues is secondary to his playing for and partial ownership of the purple and yellow filth in my mind.

So yeah, **** Bogut.

I was done over all the bull about being carded at the Casino.. like every other normal person under 25 is.

TBF, was NBA Player Kendrick Perkins ever a thing beyond "Guy who prevented OKC from resigning James Harden and owning the NBA for 10 years"?

Don't care, he's completely washed.

I don't think he's a real difference maker or anything but there's not a ton to suggest he's completely washed as a vet minimum guy.

The Nets have quietly had a really bad offseason. Losing D'Antoni, who was Nash's marionette, losing Green, the rule changes that kill Harden's game, and then adding a bunch of corpses.

He was down to about 10 minutes per game last year in the playoffs.

Mills was simultaneously my low point and their high point.

Would Brooklyn not have signed Aaron Gordon and JaMychal Green to the deal either?

I mean look, I'm not saying they got a world beater or anything but the same people were calling Blake a corpse (not here, just in general) when they picked him up too. I know we love using advanced stats to show a guys worth and Millsap by pretty much all of them (VORP, RPM, WS/48, RAPTOR, whatever) rounded out as a pretty fine role player type guy and he just signed for the minimum. Not a deal I'm losing sleep over but he'll probably play some good minutes for them.

I would not have been upset had he signed with the Bucks either.

[Ron Swanson]

I think Patty might actually be more "washed" than Millsap as a playoff performer at this point.

[WRau1]

My favorite recent Millsap highlight is when Hayward scored 15 points on him in like 2 minutes and through 2 timeouts.

[emunney]

I'll believe they'll ref Harden differently when I see it.

I actually didn't mind Perkins during the NBA Draft in his comedic buffoonery role, but he's embarrassing as an everyday talking head or "insider."

[Aaron It Out]

Me a few hours ago: would love to get Millsap a ring reunited with Bud. Bet he could contribute!

Me now: guy is totally washed and won't get off the bench in the playoffs. LOL at Brooklyn

[SupremeHustle]

If they stay healthy the Nets will be favored in every game they play. That's an easy team to root against.

[Bucknado]

I saw Alex in the Bucks pics today. Interesting they would post him on Insta if he’s just hanging out with Giannis. Is he getting a camp deal?

Since we keep missing on the geriatric retreads, might as well put him on a 2 way.
