Once your jilted girlfriend butthurt about Durant stops (2 years and counting!) the joke stops being funny. So your call.You have really beat that shtick to death. You must have had a really bad break up in your life at some point.
So was the post season rounds 1 -3 in the EC a turn off to you as well since we all pretty much knew LBJ was going to the Finals?
Well in all honesty I don't hate him. I actually think he's been excellent in all things off the court.Serious question, why do you hate him so much?
Well I applaud you for standing on that island alone my friend. Because based on tv ratings the 2018 post season had the best viewer ratings in history.Yes. It's boring, of course I want to see my team win but when there is pretty much zero parity it gets stale pretty quick. You didn't even have to watch a game until the finals (or even then) you knew what the outcome was gonna be in the end. The NBA is pretty much the only league that you have this.
And gives GSW a GREAT chance at a 3-peat. So win/win for all???LA seems to be playing for next season, everyone got 1 year deals. So unless an amazing trade opportunity comes along they'll be back in a great position next year with an unbelievable FA class.
If anything, the Cousins signing actually probably validates that plan.

I think more specifically NO.But they literally gave away all their cap space before they even had a chance to make an offer.
Plus, teams needed to realize, this was Boogie they were dealing with. He wasn't going to sit back and wait patiently. This is definitely his way of saying FU to the teams that went other directions.
I think this is great insurance for GSW if Klay decides for some unknown reason to sign elsewhere next summer.MEh
I am not sure this is the all-game changing move of the century that changes the dynamic for years.
It will impact things for exactly one season.
It is a low risk move for the Warriors in the hopes they can get a change of pace guy.
Thanks to strange rules, GS will be the only team out of 30 that will not be able to sign him next year if he plays well.
And if he plays poorly, the Ws wont sign him anyways.
GS was winning the title 98% without Cousins. They are winning it 99.99% now.
I think the bigger impact is PREVENTING Cousins from joining another team to give Golden State headaches.
In that regards it might be a big deal...but not a major earth shattering development.
I wonder how Lance & Clarkson are feeling at the moment....depends on Deng.
depends on how much they like their young guys and if they hold onto them or trade them
It will be interesting to see if there if anyway they can add 2 major players around lebron in the next calendar year. I think next year you can expect to get 1 more guy, but the real test will be if they can add a third guy, or if they would rather commit that money to the young guys or other role players.
thats what i thoughtExactly — maybe the Lakers front office is conceding 2019 and trying for the best possible draft pick for 2020?!?
It is almost like they decided — let’s go sign whoever will accept a 1 year deal and clear the books in 2020. No other explanation to signing Rondo for 9 million when you have Ball. (They can’t play on the floor together or teams will just triple team LeBron and let those two clowns shoot all day)
And then to top the Rondo signing for stupidity — they sign Stephenson who teams will let fire jumpers all day, as he shot 28% from 3 last year.
Makes no sense, unless SA said — sign those guys and include them in a deal for Kawhi.
So you only watch the half of basketball that is offensive? He's an excellent defender at his position. There are only a handful of guys that are better.I already answered this.
Klay is a better shooter. But that isn’t only part of the position.
I think the problem is - which was missed by many - is that he wanted NO to resign him. When that didn't happen it was an easy choice to reach out to GSW.Some team woulda still given him a nice chunk of change multi year. It's a bad injury but it's recoverable
Its smart by Cousins and the Warriors literally have nothing to lose from it. It's bad for the league though because when Cousins finally does comeback and performs well, it's a layup to the title even more so than last year for the Warriors.
If he happens to not comeback and do well, even then Golden State still likely wins the title and it's no sweat off their back cause it's only a one year MLE deal.
The NBA has zero competition, it's the most unwatchable pro sports league because before the season even starts you know only 2 maybe 3 teams have a legit shot at anything, but even still in the end you know it's a big uphill battle for anyone to beat Golden State.
lol @ Harden being a better SG than Klay. You do realize that Harden's defense is all of standing around & watching.Butler, George and Harden. In the West forsure. Really it’s all I even thought about.
Chris Paul starts at PG. Harden is a SG. If you want to argue then it changes the original post on Curry being the best PG(still not sure he is)
Because LeBron and Harden now count as PGs.
In any event, it's all better than that blow up doll in Cleveland.Kevin married the rich older woman with a droopy eye because he was afraid he would never get a title. Now he screws the smoking hot yoga instructor- and has a great time with a ton of money--- but he wont ever have that true love and respect of a soulmate. lol.
What reason would he need pity? He put that article out AFTER he agreed to sign with the Warriors.BTW, I absolutely love Cousins trying to get some pity by claiming that no other team offered him a deal.
Sorry, Boogie, but no one is buying that nonsense except the blindest of Warrior homers.
Next year is going to be a rehab year and no team was going to throw max money at you. So it makes sense for you to take a cap friendly deal with the Warriors. Especially when you consider that they are probably the ONLY team top flight team that would have been willing to burn their MLE on a roll of the dice. But there were plenty of other teams that likely would have given you more than that and you know it.
Yes, but the point missed here is what that means for the shooters on the wings - which also happen to be the best shooters in the world. And, of course KD.Here's my take on this.
Everybody is going 'Damn they got Boogie, the 25/12 player'
But he isn't going to be scoring 25 ppg and 12 rpg on the Warriors with 4 All-Stars around him. Even if he wasn't coming off a significant injury.
12 and 8 might be more realistic. And as far as i'm concerned plenty of bigs can do that.
