Most of the guys he's played for have proven their worth without him...
Spo - Widely considered a top 10/15 coach of all-time after two finals appearances after LeBron.
Lue - Not many in the game today are better at managing egos, as shown by the jobs he's done w/ the Clippers.
Mike Brown -...
When I said my things about "Doucheman" a couple years back... I was a hater when I called for a one-game suspension mid-playoffs when he flipped off an entire stadium of fans in Memphis.
Good to know I'm no longer alone. This dude needs serious help.
Merry Christmas.

That’s the approach Dame had alluded to last spring when he said “we can’t keep pretending that nothing else matters”.
Call Lillard a hypocrite for ring chasing (this offseason) if you’d like, but this is this exact mindset that has taken a toll on the NBA for quite some time… And this post is...
He did everything but knock on their door personally. But Miami failed to work in good faith w/ Portland prior to free agency, and it ultimately cost them Dame…
I’m sure something like this has been done before, but a few guys that come to mind…
Corey Koskie - Concussions derailed his career by his early 30’s, but a steady major league player both with the bat and in the field. Built the foundation for a solid 2000’s decade for the Twins even during a...
In anticipation of top 50 player rankings, who would you have higher right now?
Currently I have Bam eight spots ahead of Siakam... Questioning it that is too many.
Considering this is a Heat lovers paradise, figure why not...
Bump this thread up next April.
My top 50 player rankings will be out in September and hopefully Lillard will be traded by then...
Never really viewed Dame is this regard, but whether he realizes it or not, he unfortunately made this NBA summer all about him. Not because he demanded a trade...
This might take awhile, folks.
Looks like I nailed it on the screws last week when I said a third team would be needed to take on Herro...
It really is unfortunate that Portland let this questionable relationship drag on this long. The reality is that extension they signed Dame to last year...
Since the start of COVID, I had lost both my dad and my maternal grandfather. My grandpa died at the very nursing home facility that I have worked for nearly the last nine years back in December of 2020. And, of course, my dad passed on Super Bowl Sunday this year.
As soon as we got by Phoenix...
I thought I read somewhere yesterday (don't remember where) that only $5 million of the $16 million of Bertans' 2024-25 salary would be guaranteed if he was to play in 75 percent of his team's games the season before that.
Provided we have the standard 82 games next year, he would need to play...
An in opposite form the way Robert Sarver did... That is all.
I'd explain more as to how but I've got a few minutes left on my break. Let's just call it a prime example of why superteams are coming to an end...
SF Aaron Nesmith (23)
C Isaiah Jackson (21)
Pick 26
Pick 29
FOR
Jonathan Kuminga
No headlining piece, but you get potentially get four solid young players for one. And if you’re not sold on Kuminga being your guy for the future, this would help replenish your team’s depth in the event you...
Turns out we forgot to make one of these for Golden State last year... How will that franchise ever survive from all that lost publicity? :scratch:
The new official apparel for Heat fans...
(Ten years ago they wasn't ever afraid to rub their titles in everyone's faces.) :clap:
Because the Pacers suck, and I needed someone to root for. The Nuggets happened to be #1 in the opposite conference this season, so I chose them. :yes:
No j/k... If the Nuggets win on Monday I'll provide an in-depth write-up explaining my fandom on my day off on...
To me, this one is a no-brainer. Unless he takes a below-market deal to return to the Lakers, Kuzma is an empty stat-padder that's about to destroy some team's payroll.
I will say that if the Pacers sign him, I will officially be on the Fire Pritchard bandwagon...
He’ll probably end up getting in, but I think he’s the most overrated HOF prospect among current NBA players. Case and point - As much as I hate Jimmy Butler, he’s a much better HOF prospect than George and it shouldn’t be all that close.
Let’s get one thing out of the way: The Pacers aren’t...
1) OKC - They'll run the league soon as Sam Presti is best in the business at stockpiling picks and making the most of them. SGA is a superstar.
2) Pacers - Tyrese Haliburton is as good as it gets for his age at making guys around him better. Would like a more modernized FO, though. Add...
