The trade will happen. Raptors know they will never be anything ever again with their “core”. Philly knows they can’t even compete in the east with what they’ve got lmao. Let’s be serious here.

They don’t want Simmons. They want LeMelo.

Wiggins and picks plus Lemonchello to the raptors. Lowrie and whatever’s left of the box-and-1 heroes who managed to “hold” Steph to only over 30 points per game in the finals to philly. And then obviously as the finale Ben Simmons to Milwaukee

It's weird that no Toronto connected sources have mentioned that the Raptors are interested in The Melo Ball but maybe they are getting scooped by big name journalists like Corey homocide Williams, 12up dot com, fade away world dot net and some guy named Luca with a youtube channel.

I really hope Giannis doesn’t want to either:

A) win lots of championships

B) connect with a particular player who he loves

C) play for a particular team

And definitely not

D) all of the above!!!!!!!

Let’s take a look at it from Giannis’ perspective for just a second. He’s the reigning mvp and easily should have deserved it two times running. He’s the only back to back mvp since Steph

Meanwhile what’s nba media and nba twitter saying? Maybe pants-making GBS threads James Harden should be the true mvp? He’s got a lot of meaningless regular season stats that have barely kept the rockets afloat four or five season running until he chokes out every playoffs yet again

Maaaybe though Lebron is the mvp this year? Kendrick perkins (literally the worst stats ever of any play with that many starts) won’t stop speaking LEBRON MVP into the klutch media existence

I wonder if Giannis just wants to





Win?

you literally think a person saying their NBA team of choice being better than the fucking 76ers is a 'schtick'

a literal thing you think.

If GSW acquires Giannis somehow, we're going to have to listen to him mouth off for loving years.

Pete Maravich in the 70s as quoted by SI posted:

It isn’t that Maravich forces his views on anybody, it is simply that he is so overwhelmingly sincere as he voices the desire, for instance, “to be invisible so I could kill the heads of all the rich banking families, redistribute the wealth and make the world a better place.”

he also believed ufos were going to take him to the rapture before then; i'm cherry picking a bit

i read his biography in high school and i came away with three main impressions:
1. press maravich is a huge rear end in a top hat
2. pete had some sort of underlying mental illness
3. pete maravich was ridiculously ahead of his time; that book was published in 2008 and the nba was still another 5 or 6 years from catching up to The Modern NBA
