NBA: 2017 Off-Season News and Discussion Thread
#41
It's hard to say honestly. I don't really follow the NBA closely at all, so I don't know much about the day to day. I do know that Griffin had been knocked quite a bit locally for building a team that was very, very top-heavy, and this was all before he left.

The trade is obviously a blockbuster...but, I am uncertain if the respective teams are better?
It may be a wash. The Title still goes through the West.

Sad to see IT go. IT was a real Celtic, but I trust Ainge.

IMO Cavs made out like bandits. Normally a player who wants to get out gives a team little to no leverage. Yet somehow they get the Nets pick which will be undoubtedly early, and with the other additions, Cavs will be better on defense. But the Celtics definitely improved too.

I'll be interested if there's a Hootersbook.

It will work out. They are just arguing about compensation

Someone forgot to change twitter accounts

Got caught on Instagram arguing with kids too, on his brother's post about the shoes. Then he changed it, people found it, and then deleted it.

I thought it was bad enough when they recently reported that he texted a reporter to ask about him Skip Bayless' tweet just so he could respond to it after a game. But this is embarrassing for a professional to get this bothered.

The Budget 3 in OKC. If you can even call them 3. Westbrook and Melo aren't going to play together.

Because Dumb@$$ POTUS has a peepee smaller than his baby hands, he is now throwing a hissy-fit at the Warriors and UN-inviting them.
Good. They didn't want to see him anyways.

More and more people are speaking up against Trump and his nonsense. Reminds me of nfn on here.
Even the Niners owner made a statement

I don't have a ton of faith in the electoral college system, but Donald Trump will probably manage to alienate all of his supporters by 2020.

But seriously, how cool is it to know you're actually smarter than the President of the United States?

And I kinda wish I had a rich KKK dad who gave me all that $$$$$$ so that I could be rich too.
Seriously though, Dumb@$$ has basically united the entire NBA against him. And the NFL.
I would not be surprised if heaps of athletes now take a knee at anthem time. GOOD ONE, DUMB@$$!!!!

The athletes speaking out against him and taking a knee didnt support Trump to begin with so I dont think it really changes anything. It only causes more division.

And frankly, I think Dumb@$$ has just gotten MORE athletes to speak out against him now. If there were those who were vocal before, well, more have joined that group.
