Cool finals but it was just one mark short of 16-0. Will we ever have a 16-0 in our lifetime now with the prevalence of jump shooting? Because really how likely in the future could a team go hot for 4 games while the other team who made it to the final go cold for four straight.

Also if you want to meltdown over the finals mvp kevin durant keep it in the other threads, we got real meaningful basketball to talk about

Lots of juicy free agents this summer, here's the cheat sheet:

If they are willing to pay the luxury tax they would look the cavs now where they can't sign anyone new to the team except for veterans on min contracts so they're stuck with iman shumpert taking minutes

Yeah as a non story to divert attention from trading their pick. Seems pretty random otherwise, what's next a article titled knicks will try to make the playoff this year

Lmao is it really already considered "Billups/Cavs". I hope billups makes good on his tweet and trades love for melo like holy poo poo not even in my wildest dreams did I think it was in the realm of fanfic possibility and now I feel like it would come at a terrible monkey paw type price where it happens but phil will trade porzingis just to move up on the draft because mark cuban is spooking him

Durant should come to new york then where there are plenty of farts to be had while waiting for a late subway due to 'signal problems' in one of the many broken down subway platforms and then plenty of farts to smell while squeezed inside a jam packed subway train

The timing of the firing also plays into why it is so bad. The guy got fired three days before the draft for a reason that seems to have been stewing inside gilbert's colons for a while now. If he wanted him out so badly he should've done it a week earlier instead of kicking the pilot out of the airplane right before they are about to start descending

Lebron might be the one walking into the office going Ｇｅｔ　ｍｅ　ｋｙｌｅ　ｋｏｒｖｅｒ　and the guy whose office it belonged to did the obeying but the 29 other teams in the league do not humor every little whim and desire that comes out of lebron. You still need someone with the title to get on the phone and do all the wooing and figure out all the math and paperworks. And firing someone who listened to lebron doesn't seem like a good move to appease lebron.

Billups might end up doing the same and defer to lebron so the last point might not matter as much but who knows if billups would be as good in figuring out how to actually make lebron's wishes come true.

Anals of History posted:

I'm guessing Billups' sole priority is going to be helping Gilbert avoid luxury / repeater tax and to cut off Lebron's influence in the front office. If they wanted someone willing to defer to Lebron, why not keep Griffin?

Yeah that's what logic points to which makes it bad for cleveland fans and humorous for everyone else. instead of 3-1 it's going to be a whole year of reporters asking after every bad cav lose going hey lebron are you going to re sign???

Sorry bud but you're stuck in this hellscape with the rest of us and with no knicks gossip to distract you you'll have nothing to do with the subway wifi and have to stare at the platform rats while waiting for the delayed trains

The Knicks aren't going to have any fans left if they make this move

They'll still have the phil jackson apologists who will forgive any move, praise his name, phil makes as clever and 4th dimensional chess when if they were made by anyone else they would just be considered bad moves plain and simple. People are already making poo poo up to apologize for phil: porzingis is 7 3 who can't defend, overrated, not a superstar, didn't improve in his second season (mostly due to moves phil made), dramaqueen and if you can swap porzingis for two first round picks then who says no etc

What pg's agent wants doesn't really mean what pg wants or even cares about so that seems like a really silly tweet unless it's written weird and was meant to say that pg wanted to play with dlo

I don't watch the nets either but just one guy's rebounding numbers don't mean much. The lakers could just let randle handle the board no?

I think the deal with nets is fine for the lakers. But this rumored offer of giving up the rest of their assets just to get paul george earlier would be real, real bad

Good riddance to this relic. Setting aside everything else like the ntc, triangle crap, ignoring dolan's highly paid and competent scouting staff, loving kurt rambis, bad contacts everyone saw miles away, etc etc etc etc, one of the first thing phil said when he took the job was that he was going to clean up the cloud over the organization and fix the culture around here. And so what did he do during his tenure here? Fire coaching staff for not running the triangle. Leak passive aggressive things to the media through his mouthpieces. Tank the trade value of players he wanted to get rid of and continue insulting the ones he did get rid of for dimes on the dollar. Try to play mindgames with someone almost a fourth of his age or whatever he was doing.

Won't miss him even after dolan rehires isiah or uses a 1st rounder to get masai

The Knicks falling to the fourth pick was the best thing to happen to the knicks since phil went on the record to boast that he would've ignored the scouting staff who really wanted porzingis over okafor
