Like, if I'm a fan of a bad and/or small market team I look at the Golden State Warriors and go "Hey, this means this could happen to my team!" They drafted 3/4 of their stars and got a 4th despite historically being a huge loving joke of a franchise.

They have five titles.

Warriors draft talk sent me down the memory lane of horrible draft nights and wasted lottery picks. gently caress you, Mike Dunleavy Jr.

Do you guys remember Summer League sensation Nikoloz Tskitishvili? His career history is pretty amazing:



That dude has seen a lot of lovely gyms.

If you aren't rooting for Foolad Mahan Isfahan I don't know what the gently caress you are doing with your life

so what's the over/under on the number of games Fultz actually plays?

i say 17.5 is a fair number, but i would still consider taking the under if it was 0.5.

I'd be cool with VC signing with any team that might get him a ring before he retires in ten years.

don't get me wrong, I love VC, but a 40 year old vince carter is not a difference maker

I would be okay with him riding the bench all the way to a ring. I just want to see him get one.

All my favorite stars as a kid are pretty much gone and Vince is one of the last ones left (can't actually think of anyone else off the top of my head).

Vince needs to sign with GSW and cruise to an easy ring, he's deserved it. Unlike some other wing players...

It would be one of the few things that would get me to root for GSW.

-JR filled his white-interior range rover with butter popcorn instead of plain, yuck. Martin's payback prank was making JR think he was about to get drug tested lol
-George Karl is a True POS and Martin will say that to his face because why wouldn't you
-Old Mannish complaining about how the game is SOFT now, I guess because some of the worst teams in the league are bad
-Why AI was so god damned good
-Much Much more!

until i see IT do something this savage, AI will always be the best small dude ever :colbert:

Joel Embiid is the best defensive anchor in the NBA already, statistics confirm. He'll be able to cover up the deficiencies of his young teammates and the Sixers will make the playoffs. Kevin Durant is a hater.

next year when Lebron goes to the Lakers they should just stop inviting the eastern conference to the playoffs all together.

I am still totally confused as to the Paul George deal. Regardless of what Boston offered, there was at least one other deal offered that was much, much better than what OKC offered. And if the intention was to get him out of the Eastern Conference, I know of at least one offer from a Western Conference team that involved picks and didn't involve Oladipo's terrible contact. I cannot get my head around this.

in 2017, things aren't supposed to make sense.

Can someone explain the Sixers strategy of offering big one-year deals to veterans? If you're not going to retain anyone long-term then why are you even bothering adding pieces to "compete" next year

they need people to play while they prep for their future of having a lineup of 26+ years old rookies

I feel like Simmons will have benefited from the year of watching, just as Embiid did, and will play at a level beyond one might expect from a rookie.

Watching and working around the NBA for a year will make you a better than average rookie? :aaaaa:

It's time to have a serious discussion: Does Kawhi Leonard own any clothes that weren't given to him by his basketball team

Kawhi seems like a guy who would rather diversify his investment portfolio than buy a pair of shoes.

It only hurts his brand if people think it's real. It will make the rounds today as if it were legitimate, then tomorrow or the next day someone employed in another Disney subsidiary will interview Peyton about what a fantastic job he did hosting and he'll confirm that it was rehearsed and maybe even say it was Durant's idea in the first place, depending on how hard he gets raked over the coals today.

So instead of looking totally shook, it'll look like he's so far beyond that stuff that he's cracking jokes about it.

Nah he a shook bitch

Tea bagging was just a thing in the 90s. It didn't go out of style because it's inappropriate, it went out of style because online video games blew up and this new generation of lazy millennials just virtually tea bag instead of going outside to do it.
