Key phrase: “They drafted great”. Durant was the only obvious pick at the time. Westbrook, Harden, and Ibaka were all a product of the fact that Presti knew what he was doing.

Hinkie was a regular GM who tricked people into thinking he was a genius. His entire “process” was just tanking, and he wasn’t even good at it because he sucked at the draft.

No doubt about that, this is a really attractive job right now, to not even do a search would be crazy.

I want Buddy Hield to go here so bad. This team needs the shooting

The T-Wolves could obviously do better, but Mitchell isn’t the worst coach in the world. This isn’t a Byron Scott situation.

I loved the confetti guy, as good as replay is for the game, it has absolutely ruined last second endings. Waiting for the replay before any celebrating is a little anti-climactic. The confetti dropping immediately made for a much more dramatic picture.

I looked it up. They do, but I’m not sure how viable it currently is. They have 8 teams and pay about the same as the NBDL right now.

Right, there’s not enough there to gain for the NBDL, but there should be for a Canadian league though. I asked the question about the Canadian league. I only brought up the NBDL to let people know that I realize they could in theory do the same thing, but wouldn’t.

Yeah, that’s what I meant by “they aren’t going to put the money into it.”

That was amazing.

The NCAA was probably going to rule him ineligible, so he might as well do this.

If a guy’s team did it, we might be enthralled for a year or two, but if it went on as long as this, people would absolutely be bitching about it.

The Jaiblazers had some really bad seeds (Rueben Patterson, Qyntel Woods). But a majority of the arrests stemmed from smoking weed, which is a crazy thing for Portland of all places to get outraged about.

Yeah, lesbians rapping about having sex with women (in a similar fashion to male rappers) is nothing new to hip hop. This isn’t groundbreaking at all.

Why not just shop a Man City jersey on a real picture of Messi?

It definitely justifies him a little bit. Scott had been screaming at the top of his lungs about how immature Russell was and he has been proven right.

Nick Young’s days in LA were numbered way before any of this.

Half of the dream team didn’t even want to play in the Olympics at first.

Yeah, I think they are going to have to give him some breaks on the defensive end

If UCLA dominated like that in today’s media era, people would absolutely be bitching about them.
