LOL. I was going to comment during the Knicks/Lakers game that nobody gets more foul calls for fingertip contact than Randle. In that game at least, he was going to the line repeatedly for grazing contact.

He complains every touch he gets …

It’s annoying already..

Refs told him cause of his size he ain’t gettin the calls ..

Imagine if he did not overreact, and played his game , what his numbers would be?

How much of his case is the Sixers being 21-5 since he came back from injury?

The Knicks catch two All Stars cause that franchise now is look at them go! You’re a 7 seed! The Cavs catch 2 All Stars? A .500 team after their first 9 games when nobody had seen them with Mitchell yet?

I’ve seen Houston Harden and im watching every minute of this Harden. They aren’t the same guy and that’s a good thing. Dude is an All Star.
Cavs got 1 all star.

Can the Cavs also drop their 0-5 record after that start and be a 32-17 team?

Is that for real? If so, FUCK YES!
This is what he said in the article…..


And still, because of all his talent and flare — which led to Irving being voted as an All-Star starter for this year’s event — the Lakers will certainly call on what it will take to land Irving in Los Angeles, especially as LeBron James has been a known advocate of his former Cleveland teammate. Rob Pelinka’s front office has continued dialogue with rival teams about trading Russell Westbrook, most notably conversations with the Jazz as reported by Bleacher Report. Charlotte, with guard Terry Rozier, remains another possible trade partner for Westbrook, sources said..

Quitting is still quitting and it has nothing to do with an All Star bid. James Harden is an All Star. Period. There’s no debate. Dude got screwed.
It's not quitting if you are not under contract. Harden can make a case for all star, sure.....like a number of guys who did and didn't make it.

Both firsts unprotected would be the minimum needed to start a conversation around Russ for Kyrie.

Anything less and they might as well call the bluff and let him walk. Try to win this season.

Even then, 2 firsts not enough IMO.

Two firsts for one postseason run?

They’ve got 3 or 4 firsts they could trade to facilitate a trade to get a star of their own this summer

Plus clear out Harris contract as well.

They could move some other guys and maybe have cap space

Has any player ever had a bigger buyer beware sign around his neck than Irving does?

I don't even know why the Hornets would even consider that kinda trade. I'm sure there's more to it.

Does MJ owe Pelinka a favor or something?
