More bad news for the Pelicans there. Even more pressure to be put on Davis.

The cavs fan in me hopes this means a bad start to the season and DMC hitting the trading block at some point.

Did you see the story where Durant thinks the Pacers took a shit deal for George?

My bad, he thinks they just gave him away...which is far worse.

Kevin Durant shocked by OKC trade for Paul George: 'Indiana just gave him away'

Couldn't miss it.

And you mean to say the guy that signed with a 73-win team sucked up to one of his peers??? No way!

 

[Mecca]

Wow....wanna bet on the fight?

I got Connor.

Yeah, that didn't end well.

 

[Black Adam]

Yeah, that didn't end well.

did for Money...

The other interesting side of this?

Those two players were the same 2 who OKC got for Ibaka last year. Since Ibaka was KD's boy and it created a void at PF, I can't imagine he was thrilled with the deal. Could have been part of the equation in his departure from OKC. It was another instance of OKC management dealing an established player for multiple lesser parts.

On another note, some are saying that Mayweather is passing the baton to McGreggor to be the next champion since that was his last fight.

Who are "some"? Mayweather can't just hand over the belt to McGregor. Doesn't work like that. Additionally, as much of a fan of McGreggor as I am, this wasn't vintage Floyd. Thirty year old Floyd would've taken care of McGregor in rounds 4 or 5. And I strongly dislike Floyd.

McGregor's going to be MMA. He's not going to take on Canelo or Triple G.

That was the written opinion on ESPN - that I read earlier - Floyd went 50-0 though, so that was impressive. He is smart to quit on a win though. I could see McGreggor doing more then the MMA.

McGregor has literally never won a boxing match. If the belt were given to anybody, it wouldn't be him.

I don't know much about boxing, but whoever wrote that must be smoking something. When a fighter retires with a belt, don't they take the top 2 challengers and have them fight for it?

Conor was fortunate to meet a 40 year old defensive fighter with no power. Canelo would knock Conor out pretty quickly, imo.

I don't think anyone wrote that lol

I agree. Although I'm a huge McGregor fan, he was lucky to fight Floyd well past his prime. If this was Canello fighting him again or Triple G, we might be talking about Floyd's 49-1 record.

Lamar Odom Says Trade from Lakers 'Basically Ended My Career and Purpose'

Pussy.

 

[K.I.G.]

I would suggest crack is what KILLED his career.....CRACK....

Indeed, Cousins could be a good fit with the Cavs. They may go for him to help coax Lebron to stay with the team.

Nerlens Noel signs 1-year, $4.1 million QO to return to Mavs, league sources tell ESPN. Reported $17M "offer " was non-existent in any form.

Step one complete. Step two, sign with Lakers next summer...

GGG would destroy the Mayweather that fought McGregor imo.
