I feel like Westbrook is really the closest we’ll ever get to watching a Velociraptor play basketball.

SA-Cleveland was a thing that happened.

Doesn’t seem like a good fit if Bird really wants to play faster.

I think the players listen to you if, you know, you know what you’re talking about and aren’t a dick to them. Steve Kerr, Budenholzer, Brad Stephens, Quinn Snyder all see to be doing ok.

+1, deserves many more.

A Finals appearance, multiple top 5 MVP vote totals, similarity scores to Lanier, Ewing, Dream, Moses ...

My Wizards.

That was not unconventional wisdom at the time, though pretty much every guy taller than 6-6 who could pass and dribble was supposed to be the next Magic.

Buddha Edwards!

Brian Grant, Tyrone Hill, James Posey and David West — “Are you a bruising, skilled power forward with limited athletic ability? Become a Xavier Musketeer today!”

Tyrus Thomas, Stro Swift and Anthony Randolph were just different names for a single ridiculously athletic, underperforming LSU power forward.

God Shamgod

I remember being very surprised when Belichick called him “probably the smartest receiver I’ve ever coached,” so I feel ya.

Absolutely, positively nothing good has ever followed the phrase: “I’ve got to tell you something folks.”

Right, everyone is having a good laugh at this kid while it’s a fucking joke that he can’t meet his rent. I imagine the Ole Miss athletic department has no such trouble paying the bills.

How about because ESPN and Disney have transgender employees and his views are hostile and discriminatory?

I would do this in a second if I was the Rockets. Three premium wing defenders, two of whom can also shoot, and a top 3 pick?

I think this would be the greatest argument against analytics of all time. There is no way that this makes Boston 9 games better.

Ariza was great on a Wizards team that knew how to use him.
