It's the sun's :lol:

Yeah, it’s kind of like worrying about Rodman being a bad influence on Mike Tyson, but more like Behrenstain Bears level bad.

Given the leaks out of Toronto, it’s quite likely. I’d expect his Laker announcement tomorrow.

Q) ... We have Caruso and I recon Rondo will rejoin as well...

Who do we give the starting PG spot too?

I think Caruso deserves a shot IMO ???

1. Not impressed with Zion, I just continue to fail to see how he’s going to be a league altering talent any time soon.

2. The raptors are officially going to be the most forgettable incidental champ ever.

Sucks to be Westbrook. Going from KD and harden to kd to George to Gallinari. He might shoot until his hands fall off now.

He may need to beg to go to GSW and learn to play team ball for Russell and pieces :wink:

My only question is that after this **** in OKC, how much does Riley pay for Westbrook if he was willing to take Wall to get Beal?

Dude .. Zion is just a younger version of ... DAJ ... All Dunks and alley oops etc.

News flash; Dunks and alley oops don't win chips

Nope, that's all Barkley I see in him. They had been running boy all day though with the media stuff and hype though and interviews, pictures, and everything. He will be fine, there will be some exposure adjustment, but he will be fine

1. Yeah, that’s my impression too.
2. Nah, I think Raps fans will take it 10 out of 10 times, even with an asterisk with it.

Wonder what OKC is going to do now with three point guards in Russ, Schroder and SGA?
