And they can't trade up into it either....

Well, if they move AD and get really lucky with ping pong balls, maybe. Teams will be loathe to trade those picks though for exactly that chance. You would need to find a team that has no expectation of being in the lottery that ends ups with horrible injury luck and drops into the lottery.

Let's not make excuses for Dray here. I don't care what Poole said or how he acted. You don't put hands on your colleague/teammate unless he put hands on you first. Very simple

And this is why everyone thinks MJ is a punk. Right?

Harden is now the 3rd option

Will his ego allow that though?

When is this “Evil James Harden” I keep hearing about going to present himself? I’ve been waiting and waiting and waiting and all I’ve seen since he’s been acquired is a great teammate that wants to win and put his money on the table and gave it up so there would be room to improve the roster.

I posted that here at the time, I wouldn't want it every year but it was kind of cool with just the players, no fans, so they were locked in on each other not playing to the crowd. There was also a lot less bullshit yakking at the refs, much more civil because it was quieter and you didn't have fans going nuts after a call.

Yep which is why i never get why people love talking down on the bubble year and act it shouldn't count the same as other seasons

Yeah, not sure I'd want another season like that, but once everyone got used to no fans, it was purely about basketball.

lol

2 teammates fought during training camp.

In other news, water is wet.

You forgot that the big one physically went after the little one. That’s what pussies do.

Last I checked, both are grown men.

Also, it's training camp, no one cares.

Wait for it, it’s coming

Totally get it. When the Sixers were in tank mode I too would root for the misery of others.

Just concerned about your well-being when it happens. You are seriously acting like this guy deserves tons of credit or something. He was picked last on the playground last year, that’s how far he has fallen. The entire league is sick of him, and his game. Embiid will lose it on him, I have no doubt about that.

I’m gonna be ok. Phillies in the playoffs for the first time in 11 years. Eagles are 4-0 and miraculously they have actually developed a QB. The Sixers are going to give me a compelling follow 82 nights plus playoffs regardless of how it works out. We won’t talk about the shit show that is the Flyers. My sports life is great right now.

Trust me, I count it...

Just like when that pussy Michael Jordan went after the smaller Steve Kerr

Not really. MJ is a legend and Draymond carries a lunch pail like a grinder role player.

Yep. The only way the Lakers can hope to get close enough to get a shot at drafting Wembanyama is the following has to occur: One, they have to secure a 2023 First Round pick from somebody else for say an AD trade. The Lakers do have their own 2023 First Round Pick but it can't be traded and it must be swapped with New Orleans if the Pels choose to swap this year by virtue of the Lakers having the better draft position. With the swap, the Lakers will fall where the Pels (better record) select in the draft in the First Round;

Two, that trade-partner team has to be a lottery-eligible pick/team-either by bad record or the play-in route;

Three, all the lottery balls have to fall in place for the Lakers to either be the Number One or Number Two selector.

If that all falls into place, then the Lakers will have a chance at drafting Wembanyama. That's a lot of ifs and the Lakers would be extremely lucky if it happens that way.

Just being like Mike...

Lotta callers on talk radio are with you though, calling for his head. Just another hot take, we'll be on to something else in a month
