How dare you bring nuance into a conversation that’s really about guys working out their Warriors feelings.

We said all of this last year and they almost lost to the Rockets. But hey: don’t let facts get in the way of your preemptive boredom.

It’s cool how we’ve already decided that the Warriors weren’t down in Game 7 on the road last season just so the internet can complain about competitive balance. 

This roster is just a “Let’s Remember Some Guys” video from 2021.

Isn’t this just saying “people would love to play in a big market but they need to be going to a good situation”? That’s not particularly news.

My point is that while Lakers As a Destination was once a real thing, it hasn’t been for quite a while. They haven’t gotten a free agent since, what, Dwight Howard and Steve Nash? Think of the dozens of great players who wouldn’t meet with them in the intervening years. It’s a long list!

This was true a few decades ago. It’s not the case any longer. The Knicks have the worst record in the league since 2002. The Lakers haven’t been good for ten years and their recent FA efforts can be summed up with one of the saddest, thirstiest pictures of all time:

Smart move to thin out a team that got visibly gassed in the second half of every WCF game. 

Say what you want about Paul George, but they doubled their playoff wins this past season.

When LeBron goes to LA, the Eastern Conference All-Stars will be Austin Rivers, off-brand Toronto Kobe, whichever Morris brother is healthy, and Bismack Biyombo. 

I wouldn’t have even tried if I saw this first

Portnoy looks like the Before picture in an AA brochure. 

1 million per chin seems fair

Do they even have any legitimate cap space this summer and why will they spending it on Iman Shumpert again? 

“I like kicking people’s asses and literally being in their faces. Letting them know that they suck. That they’re trash.”

You and I both know the Knicks are going to end up maxing, say, Jabari Parker.

Even if LeBron’s only got a puncher’s chance of this happening, you gotta hand it to him.

Rules pettifoggery and sexual assault suspensions: the NFL is BACK, baby. Try not to get exhausted before the first anthem “controversy.” It’s going to be a long autumn. 

This is bad. 

You can only do this with impunity if JR Smith is involved. Everybody knows that.
