AD is already speaking up for Westbrook.

As he should; that vampire crap was uncalled for. Just say there were issues, the guy was traded, leave it at that (if even that). The whole league knew that they were trying to trade Westbrook, no need to provide reasons now.

Yeah, the vampire shit was crazy.

I really hope AD wasn't so close with RW that he demands a trade in the offseason.....that would completely fuck us over.

 

[shopson67]

Here's the thing.....if he pulls a Melo.....works on that 3 and gets a little better at it.

Say he hits 36-37% he could become a lot more valuable.....off the bench.

Melo already had a shooting stroke though. Russ is just too tightly wound to ever develop real shooting touch IMO; he's just too mechanical and sprung.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Maybe some self analysis then? Lol. I suggest you use at least some of that time for some cardio. Actually I just want the Thunder represented on that list.

I did 5 pushups and 10 situps recently.

 

[shopson67]

Agreed

It felt like two trades that had no cohesive plan

Now they have like 7 wings all who would need PT to be happy

...and they could lose some without compensation (guys like Johnson, Curry, etc).

 

[shopson67]

Really looking forward to the buyout market now.....just in general because I doubt the Lakers get anybody.

They'll get someone, they have a roster spot open. May take some time to sort out the new pieces to figure out who though.

Can't see that happening (for that reason). If the new additions flame out and Lebron wants out, sure.

He looked really pissed.....and he shrugged off Bron saying he loved him.

There could be some smoke where there is fire.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Denver getting Bryant was huge. They can play him and Jokic together. Not sure why Ham didn't play Bryant and AD together when AD returned from injury.

Rookie HC's.....SMH.

Could be over Russ and Bev etc getting shipped out..hard to say.

Bev didn't look thrilled either in that pic

Heading out.

Be back.

Text us when you get there. Don’t forget your jacket. Be careful!

They traded Irving and for a bunch of guys who complimented KD and then they trade KD.

Don't think that was the idea.

Pretty sure Joe Tsai has more foresight than that...

Then you're in the minority.....LOL.

I am back. It's beautiful out, didn't need a jacket. Of course, I am always careful.

Bet on the big game?

 

[WiggyRuss]

I'm rooting for him. And he's in the Eastern Conference, so his success won't hurt the Warriors at all unless Detroit and Golden State somehow become perennial title contenders at the same time and face each other in the Finals, which seems highly unlikely.

he will prob. compile some offensive stats- esp. with Cunnningham out, Bey traded, and Detroit pretty much sucking.

Whether he ever learns how to play basketball is going to be an interesting question.

I watched Darius Miles and Wrong-Way Ricky Davis score some points but neither knew how to play NBa basketball.

Sure. 500 fugaze SportsHoopla dollars? You want the points or should we do ML?

Not even a look both ways before u cross the street?

He could be a Jermaine O’Neal type. It was too much too fast for him but as he got older he developed into an above average player but not quite a Super star.
