It'd be funny if the Warriors just sent like, Matt Barnes to the White House.

It's insane how many teams Moses Malone played on considering how great he was. Was he just a mercenary?

Is it just me or is the new date for the awards show really bad? We are already pretty well into offseason drama and the regular season feels a million miles away at this point.

Everyone except Adam Silver agrees with you. 75 days after the regular season is absurd.

I had to read this a couple of times to understand that he wasn't going Hotep.

Anyway, Clippers news means Vince Staples reactions.

Who wins a series of all the best active Kentucky players (coached by Pop or Carlisle) vs GSW?

Probably still the Warriors but you could make a pretty nasty team with Cousins, Davis, Wall, MKG and Booker as a starting 5. Spacing would suck though.

Honestly the East only lost three of last year's all-stars. Admittedly two of those are top 10 players and guys like old Melo or Kemba Walker pale in comparison to West reserves but it's not gonna be THAT much worse

Jordan went back to 23 (after briefly using another number) even though it was retired.

Reggie Jackson is still wearing 1 and Greg Monroe remained #10 after Rodman's was retired. Stanley Johnson changed from 3 to 7 out of respect for Ben Wallace.

I'm pretty sure every franchise has retired a number for someone at least as "bad" as Z-Bo.

The Pistons retired the number of a sixth man who averaged 12 ppg for his career. Also the number 2 because we couldn't think of a different way to honor Chuck Daly.

What's Bradley's current contract?

Henchman of Santa
Aug 21, 2010
Avery Bradley does everything KCP does except better and more consistently.

Marcus was the worse Morris brother in Phoenix but was way better than Markieff in 15-16. He regressed last year but so did the entire team. He's decent at everything and not great at anything except mid-range shooting.

Finally managed to catch up on all 321 pages and as an Aussie that doesnt get much of a chance to follow all the NBA, i have learnt a lot.

Twolves are the team to watch next season.

Bulls also but for completely different reasons.

KD is a weird dude.

Bismack Biyombo is waaay overpaid.

Also as a Spurs fan and with limited NBA games screened here, i dont know much about Rudy Gay other than his stat line, will he be a good fit and is he going to just back up Kawhi or can he play another spot?

Jesus how are we already at 321 pages in just the offseason

If he's bad at selling fake angry wouldn't that mean he's actually really good at selling it?

Are you guys talking about the Sacha Baron Cohen putting his butt in Eminem's face thing? Eminem the entertainer who started his career making novelty rap tunes with lyrics like "I tie a rope to my penis and jump out of a tree," that Eminem having a part in a bit of clearly scripted physical comedy? That's the parallel y'all see there?

if he got "approval" it probably went like this:
ESPN people: Hey KD do you mind if we give Peyton a line about you switching teams
KD: (sweating, completely shook, unable to say no) no um go ahead I like jokes ha ha ha I can laugh at myself
KD later: (gets his feelings hurt anyways)

If a nerd can be huge (looking only slightly short next to those two dudes means he's probably well over 6 feet) muscular and athletic, hang out easily and play sports with famous athletes does Nerd even mean anything anymore!?

Hey guys Nerds can be outgoing extroverts who are strong and coordinated and bad at math

edit: edit

edit: I hope you folks respect the Geek and Nerd Venn diagram where one can play videogames and eat snacks and be a general unstylish goober without possessing any great capacity for academics.

Where do dorks, dweebs and lameazoids fit into this?
