Truly have no clue which of Toronto, Boston, Philly, or Milwaukee comes out of there. I wish Oladipo was healthy. The post-LeBron East is really fun!

“For the 76ers ... they’re shooting their shot!”

Its only a simple arrangement of intentions and goals if you ignore the Pelicans’ intentions and goals.

I'm a fan of your stuff, but I’m just not going to agree with you on this one. He chose to stay. He’s gotta deal with that to some extent.

Wrong. He voluntarily signed an extension. He’s not on a rookie contract. The lottery argument is null and void.

“What on earth makes you think they should be getting anything at all? Because they won the draft lottery seven years ago?”

I’m not sure how much morality I’m supposed to root for in a sport where it’s already established that teams get to tell all incoming talent where they are going to live and how much they are going to make for the first four years of their career. If we’re going to open that door, we’re going to have to reevaluate…

Ah yes, focus on optics over tangible results, and don’t be like the Spurs — those two cornerstones of successful basketball strategy.

There are theories that Clippers/Bucks are false flag preferred destinations. The galaxy brain thinking (which may be right who knows) from Pels fans is Rich Paul through out those teams to further the idea that he will play else - just not Boston. Because he knows those teams don’t have the assets to offer.

Its not marginally better though, it’s a LOT better even if they don’t include Tatum. The draft picks alone that Boston has are better. Throw in Jaylen Brown. And maybe even Tatum?

I might have to go with an old Tampa Bay Bucs quote from the early inept years. “Coach, what do you think of your team’s execution?”

Not to mention that the very dumbest of teams find a way to let that dumbness shine through no matter what. If you throw them a life preserver, they will immediately pop it with their dumb teeth thinking it’s a big donut and choke on the remains of it while drowning in all that dumb. Teams wanted supermax contracts,…

The story is not just that the league’s structure encourages the Pelicans to sit AD. The story is also that the Pelicans FO and ownership have been so incompetent for so long that they’ve managed to take a perennial top-5 player, and fail to build a playoff team around him, and fuck up to the point that it makes sense…

Luckily, Durant also blew a 3-1 lead that year.

I’m a Celtics fan, and I’ve been as frustrated by a lack of wheeling and dealing as anyone, but can we say that Danny Ainge was wrong for any of the deals he didn’t make?

The team that drafted Lonzo Ball #2, deserves nothing but suffering forever.

Hey Ratto’s here. That’s cool.

We’re lucky he didn’t see a black man running and immediately discharge his weapon. 

A stiff breeze could stop the Jets’ defense.

Great. Last time someone on the Jets blew up a Patriots mascot we got 18 fucking years of Tom Brady....
