Yikes.

I'm no fan of the Miami Heat...but that D-Wade statue which was unveiled on Sunday is a damn travesty.
Was the sculptor drunk and just gave up, then decided to wing it on the dude's face?
It looks nothing like him at all above the shoulders...not even close.
Maybe they ought to do a re-do of his face at the very least.

That said... art is a funny thing, and everyone has a different interpretation and idea of what it is they are viewing on any given day...and with varying kinds of light to give it other perspectives.

But wow...just wow.

yah- Darius Garland is going NO WHERE--- especially not for a mediocre talent like Hachimura. You gotta be kidding me.

17.5 ppg, 43.9/61.5/80.0, 7.8 reb, 2.0 ast, .5 blk, .8 st;, $17.0M
19.3 ppg. 54.7/50.0/100, 2.6 reb, 6.7 ast, .5 blk, 1.3 st, $36.7M

Pretty close in production thus far, especially given the salary discrepancy

Still gotta match salaries and likely give up a pick. Like we said before I doubt either team would do this and if LA still has DLo it literally makes no sense for them.

I don't think the Dodgers would have any interest in moving multiple pcs for Garland anyway. Not sure where that rumor began, probably in some writer's mind. I just didn't like the Rui disrespect, lol.

You are in baseball mode and don't blame you. I think Garland doesn't have eye-hand coordination to play for the Dodgers.

But in all seriousness, you used a 4 game baseline to compare their salaries but Rui is on a hell of a contract-I will admit. Garland is also a facilitator and PG....different position

Knicks already showing signs of how badly they miss DDV.
It's early and they will still be good but have to say they seemed more scary with Hartenstein and DD. Towns is pretty much the soft player many accuse Allen and Mobley of being......but they really do play elite D and do the dirty work while Towns thinks he's a guard.

LOL, Lakers of course. Three games in a row simultaneously watching Lakers and Dodgers is getting to me...

The stats used were relative in that Wiggy has getting all excited over Garland's play this season.

Man was he good last night....could argue was his best game as a Cavalier considering opponent, overall efficiency and his O and D down stretch.

Glad to see at least last night that Windy report about Mobley playing the 5 down the stretch was false as I expecrted. Allen should play pretty much any close game late. Rarely turns it over, plays elite defense, rebounds, can score if needed and will usually hit clutch FTs.

It is an overreaction. He has played well thus far though especially on the defensive end

Was going to say I'll see that tomorrow, but looks like no national TV for Lakers/Cavs
Which is strange. I expected at least NBA TV.

The Lakers are always a matchup problem for this current Cavs squad with Lebron.

We likely see a D-Wade-Bron matchup...Dean Wade.
