Couldn't care less. No rock content, not on my TV.

That'll show 'em!

 

[The Q]

Could bite him in the ass in the future. Suns and Lakers will remember.

It also hurts them long term unless luka leaves the mavs

Some dude named Steve Lacy is playing now, has a kind of new wave Prince vibe, definitely funk/soul/rock, you'd probably like it

Should I instead watch a show I don't like lol? All the Grammys ever do is screw up the rock and metal categories anyway, even on a good year. I'd rather watch random shit on YouTube...

He's OK, still a bit too much modern pop for me. Some Tyler The Creator influence I think?

I agree

The new 30 for 30; The Greatest Team That Never Was

And to think, things could be drastically different if KD's big toe was a fraction of a inch shorter

 

[wildturkey]

The suns offer is still the best by far

I’m baffled

My only thinking is they don't want Chris Paul's contract. That Suns deal would probably give them a better shot THIS year but then you're stuck paying a ton of money to CP3. It's either that or maybe the Suns was Kyrie's #2 choice and Joe Tsai wanted to fuck him over again since he already denied sending him to the Lakers (Kyrie's #1).

Still, I would have taken the Suns deal

Anyone watching the Grammys? My teenage daughter is making me. Some good stuff actually including a medley of a ton of old school rappers.

I'm not an old head, but I caught some clips of a really good Smokey Robinson/Stevie Wonder/Chris Stapleton performance.

My daughter has played me some of Tyler, it's weird and interesting.

Yep. I'll date myself by saying I haven't bought a rap album since Mos Def stopped releasing them lol.

Really feels like they didn’t wanna send him to the lakers or a real contender

Dude, Cp3 is a injury risk.

Crowder has not played this year and is a free agent this Summer.

But, also….yeah.

Heavy tax for that Durant shit this Summer.

You dated yourself with the word Album.

ok, so who trades for Ben?

Indiana?

Houston?

Does Pop think he can fix him?

I kinda like Houston.

The one thing they don’t have is a guy who does want to shoot.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Wow. You think KD turned that down? Is there something between KD and CP3? I think that could have worked.

I think KD wanting to come to Brooklyn was more about Booker than CP3.

Remember he said he wanted to play with Booker, not have him going the other way in a trade.

This was the buzz last Summer….


There’s been a suspicious lack of noise surrounding the KD negotiations since his trade request first broke, but we do know a few things:

• Durant wants to go to the Suns to play with Devin Booker
• The Nets want a young All-Star level player plus at least three first round draft picks
• So far, Brooklyn and Phoenix haven’t been able to pull off a trade that would satisfy what everyone wants.

The latest report from ESPN said the Suns are currently not offering the big package of draft picks that Brooklyn wants.

I love your avatar.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

I missed the the entire 2nd half of the Knicks -Sixers game earlier....had some other stuff to take care of....but after reading the recap and watching some of the highlights, I'm like damn!..that was a quality win over a very good division foe.
Nice to see the seldom used Evan Fournier played a key role with the absence of RJ Barrett...and they actually had less turnovers than Philly and out rebounded them as well....although they did miss 11 FT's which is still a weak spot for them that needs to be improved on moving forward.

Nice one, Bockers!
Keep it going.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

There was another report that both picks, Christie, Reaves etc were all on the table if Kyrie would sign a 2 year extension. More entertaining to point and laught though...

Here ya go….

You are correct.

They offered both picks.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Lmao

Lakers were never going to get him…lol

@The Q was right.

They new who they were not willing to trade with.

Joe Tsai did not want to see Kyrie Irving traded to Lakers?

The Nets, rather than trading with Phoenix or the Lakers, ultimately came away with the two Mavericks they wanted most and a better win-now duo than L.A. could offer: Dinwiddie and Finney-Smith. Th…

So you think a Kyrie rental is worth more the 3 players that got to them to the WCF plus the picks? How does Luka feel when this blows up on their faces? He gone.

Most definitely better than sitting on their hands and doing nothing.

They have a few tries to get it right.

Swinging and missing is better than watching a called 3rd strike which looks like what the Lakers are doing.

We can’t know how Luka will think about this. But if it was me, I would be a lot more likely to stay with an organization willing to mix it up to get better.
