It should be overturned
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

They really need another creator with the ball. Dallas has been able to double Edwards and there isn't anyone else who can break down a defense


Really, what they lack is a flame thrower from the perimeter. Naz Reid is still another big. TJ Warren used to be that kind of scorer, but I honestly don't even know why he's on the roster, if he's not being used for his offensive abilities. Dude hasn't gotten into a game in weeks.

They need a Cam Thomas or Immanuel Quickley in the worst way

Maybe they can get Bones Hyland? He is a decent enough option but should be available

I hope we can get the flopping technical called in more than just the pre-season next year.

Yeah Gobert's contract is bad. But, Nazr Reid's is pretty good so that kind of balances out.
KAT's making $57 million in 2 years though... and that's only 11th highest in the league.

Enjoy this year, it's your team's peak. Y'all basically have 7 real players on the books for next season and will be 13mil into the luxury tax. :lol: Good luck! Enjoy that Rudy Gobert albatross contract.

Yeah, it’s the end of the Ant era at the age of 22. :lol: the lakers didn’t peak? LeBron will be 39, Davis 30 and your third best player is Deangelo Russell :lol:

This shows that higher iq players win in the playoffs.

Ant and Towns are great shot makers but they look dumb af half the time. Towns flies into the basket out of control and cries for a foul call if he doesn't get it.

I think this is why he never progressed much as a passer or defender.

This trade wasn't some conspiracy - it was just a GM wanting AD bad enough where in most people's eyes he overpaid by a long shot to get him.

I think the new TV deal is going to be their saving grace. Should help with the cap right?

We are going to see supermax deals that net guys like 80+ mil a year. SGA is gonna make insane money.

I think he’d extremely wrong if he says that as on the defensive end it is not close and I think Lebron even had the edge offensively.

I give Luka the edge on offense tbh. Better scorer/shooter, better pick and roll player, just as good of a passer. But you're right in terms of defense at least for a stretch there, it's not close.
