    So much for best record.
    The Thunder announced Thursday that Hartenstein suffered a non-displaced fracture in his left hand and will be re-evaluated in 5-to-6 weeks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

    So the guy who scored 10.1ppg on 7.6FGA last year can't replace someone who scored 12.3ppg on 10.6FGA last year?

    If Lakers were going to trade for LaVine, they should of been more proactive instead of waiting until he is healthy now that he is playing well. With that said I think we could still get him for Russell/Rui/Vincent. Probbaly difficult to find a taker for that contract. Lakers probably also have to take a small contract or two like Phillips. I would like to do a 3 for 2 to be able to sign Olveri.

    Wish we could censor anything Irwin related the way C bags are censored. Not a serious human being. Not a legit insider. Bonafide scrub.

    No doubt, but I guess I thought of that as the same thing. My bad.

    Yeah, JDub and Chet probably improve their scoring numbers a bit too. I've been fairly anti-OKC because I hate the over-praising of asset accumulation over actually winning basketball games/series, but they're going to be damn good this year. I think they get to the Finals.

    I know Kawhi isn't popular here, but man this bums me out. I really feel for the guys whose bodies give out on them like this. I can't imagine what its like to put in all that work for years, make it to the NBA, and become one of the best players in the world only for your body to betray you. Kawhi, Rose, Brandon Roy, I wish we'd gotten to see these guys stay healthy. Kawhi in particular was one of my favorite players to watch between the dominant individual defense and throwback midrange game.

    i get it, but will counter. i think guys like cp3 have played through similar or more serious conditions. kawhi won't play unless he's 100%, which is how he preserves his rep. AD is vilified here and elsewhere because he plays hurt AND/OR doesn't play often enough.

    kawhi's SA exit was most definitely about this issue--their doctors thought he was good enough to go (probably because TD and DR and others played through similar issues).

    he's getting paid a ton of money to sit on his a**, and i don't have a lot of sympathy, tbh. further, he catches ZERO heat from fans or the media.

    f*** that, man. if your knee is that bad, don't sign a 200 million dollar deal stretching 4 years out. if it isn't, get on the floor.

    We have their 2nd round pick? Might be #31. That would be great. Better than a late first..

    And f***ing OKC has their pick.

    Imagine getting a player who finished top 5 in MVP voting in his prime and losing that trade so f***ing badly that it has the potential to go down as one of the worst trades in NBA history
