    The #25 pick is arguably worth more than Missi, but I get it that we also get Jones, and salary dump Vando and Knecht.

    Yeah, but we just hired that guy from New Orleans. There's a lot of smoke there, but yeah we always do something out of left field. We usually end up getting the rumor players many years later, when they are washed already.

    Seems like the Bucks would want to keep Ware. I wouldn't exert to much energy on that one. I like the Spencer Jones idea though.

    Lakers could end up paying Spencer Jones and Marcus Smart about 12 million each.

    Just as long as it ain't LA. This one is odd though, with all the bad press the owner has gotten for being cheap I'm not sure why Giannis would be all that interested and then there's the geography factors.

    But Cuffs does interact in some NBA circles and Haynes is the go to Dame source.


    Miami is still my prediction.

    Game 6 of spurs vs OKC like game 4. Wemby showed up in spades, they nailed 3s, okc couldn’t shoot as well.

    X factor was Dylan Harper. They’re going to need him badly in game 7. Meanwhile fox was awful, that contract isn’t go to age very well.

    I think they dont care. The new owner keeps in touch with Luka.

    IF Lebron wants to get paid it will have to be a sign and trade. If he plays for a small amount i can see him leaving.

    This is a weird a** system.
    The lack of European style relegation really f***ing with a league that thinks its should like the NFL and not care about it's marquee teams.

    Playing tournaments was the last good idea Silver had. Expand the play in, make the lottery odds even and automatically lower the draft pick if you got a top 3 pick the year before. Easier to understand and the incentives are alright ed to better play by more teams

    Pick OKC next game. They’ll win by 5. Refs will put them over the top.

    When Wemby came in the Monk outfit it was a wrap.

    Fox's presence allows Castle to play his game, and not be a turnover machine. His turnovers went down dramatically when Fox came back; that makes them a better team.

    Yep, and it was obvious, even when Fox is not scoring. He is still getting assists and he doesn't turn the ball over too much.
