“OKC didn’t sign PG or Russ”

Then you will have dumb teams willing to spend half their cap number on buying out that one mega star just to put butts in seats.

Because the Pelicans are not going to trade Davis for 3 months of Kyrie

If Davis is willing to verbally commit long term, i’ll buy Tatum the plane ticket myself.

I still don’t believe Belichick wrote that, or at least not exactly that. Its written in Trump

Oh, but it gets better. Julian Edelman and Sean McVay played each other twice in college. Only Edelman was QB and McVay was a receiver.

Because people like winners until they win too much. People will claim its because Draymond is a tool or that Durant is a bitch, but no. People just tend to sour on perpetual frontrunners.

Ingram and what else for AD? Do the Lakers really have the assets for that trade?

I remember when Celtics fans were livid that Ainge wouldn’t trade his precious Brooklyn picks for Butler when he was on the Bulls.

This. The biggest issue with the team is that Simmons can’t shoot, yet he has shown zero interest in even trying to develop that part of his game. Embiid has looked out of shape for years now too, no wonder he doesn’t like running around on the perimeter 

Not sure about that. Middleton was unconscious in the playoffs last year. Basically took the Celtics to game 7 by himself.

Sounds like he just needs to get the hell away from nearly *everyone* right now. Like, go train with some obscure team in Europe for a few months or something, and take absolutely nobody but a trainer who knows what they are doing with you.

*checks stats*

Uhh, not quite. Including playoffs Brady is ahead of Brees in both passing yards and TDs. Brady is way ahead in TD to INT ratio too. Again, these numbers are all skewed because Brees plays in an air conditioned dome (or California) rather than outside in NE during the winter. The only place Brady plays regularly that…

Yeah? They lost the Superbowl last year even though Brady threw for over 500 yards. A Superbowl record, one of the very few he didn’t already own.

Watching live this had me cackling. Its rare but BB talkin’ shit is always a treat

Yes. Brees was so good in San Diego the Chargers didn’t want to pay him. I hear the winters there are brutal too, it even got down to 50 degrees once. Surprised they didn’t cancel the games 

The Patriots were heavy, heavy underdogs in those Superbowls, especially the first one. I think that’s a bit of revisionist history.

Brees has also played in a dome his whole career. He is 7-6 in the playoffs which is even less remarkable than Rodgers at 9-7.

Hes 20 years old with millions in his bank account that needs to last him like 60 years at least. What do you think the odds of this sort of austerity are, especially when his family likely thinks they hit the lottery when he was drafted first overall?
