Even as a casual fan I still don't like LeFlop. But he brought a basketball championship to Cleveland, which is nice.

Harden is the worst, can't stand watching that guy.

I've only cheered for the Warriors so you can't call me a bandwagoner only NBA games I've been to are Dubs games. It was nice when tickets were like $15-20... Now they're 10x that much.

I wish I had the time to keep up with basketball and hockey. 80+ game seasons are just too much. Baseball... Forget it.

16 games in the NFL = perfect

It would be perfect if he came to Milwaukee. We just built a new arena, there will be so much to do down there now with a "courtyard" set up outside and Aaron Rodgers is part owner now. Could there be enough money to bring him in now? The only thing I would hate is the ticket prices will be thru the roof. They are already pretty expensive for decent seats at the old place. I can only imagine what the price jump will be for the new arena and then throw another All-Star on the team that people would want to see. I would say the Bucks could be a contender!

Warriors still suck.

They can win for the next 15 years, and they will still suck.

NBA is trash now. All these "super teams" make it highly boring to watch.

He is pretty much done. Just collecting a few more millions in the next 2-3 years then he will be forgotten.

Fantasy-wise, he had a great season though.

Can't see how he can't replicate that again. Automatic double-double with some blocking on occasion.

Didn't even know he was traded until Yummy posted.





How much do you want to bet the Kings will screw up and pick some off the wall person and not get Bagley nor Porter Jr. Probably get that overseas player because Kangs! They're such a terrible organization and I hate living in Sacramento because of them. The fans annoy the shit out of me.

Porter is this year's wildcard. I wonder if Bulls will take him if he falls that far?

So Hawks trade up for Luka. Interesting as they needed a superstar and they're not really a free agent hub. Trae Young might've been a reach for Dallas. He's no Curry.

I'm cautiously happy with the Bulls' haul from the draft. Is it enough to get them closer to Boston or the other powerhouse? Nope. But, hey...little itty-bitty steps?

Talks about Kawhi coming to the Lakers.

Supposedly Kawhi reached out to LBJ about playing together.

Spurs are in talks with Boston and LA for a trade for Kawhi.

well if Spurs wanna be a bitch and dont trade Kawhi because they dont want him to be on the west coast, then fine. He will just come next year joining PG and LBJ.
But it is not like Spurs will be very competitive this coming year anyway, why do they wanna be a little bitch...
