These picks could be valuable. Who knows, they could use them to draft some real talent. Maybe they land 3 real superstar MVP caliber players through the draft, and hit on a couple of other later picks for some solid role players, and have themselves a perennial contender. Then they might have to pay them eventually,…

Like, I’ve heard of Rui Hachimura. He’s tall and half black and half Japanese, like Naomi Osaka, whom I’ve also heard of, which sounds cool. Also, if I had the opportunity to talk to Rui Hachimura, I’d probably be too shy to do so.

Albert sits at his desk at 2 AM. The darkness seems to have a knife-sharp edge of cold in it. Cold that seeps under your collar and renders limbs into tightened gooseflesh.

The germans thank you for establishing which Currywurst 

dude. That’s not a great way to make friends

Kings, baby! Get in on the only-somewhat-below-ground floor!

That’s a risk I’m willing to take.

Can you imagine lucking into a situation where you get to ride LeBron James to a championship, then being out of work for a year because everyone knows you’re not that great of a coach and you rode LeBron James to a championship, and then, because the front office of a team trying to ride LeBron James to a…

I hear Magic Johnson isn’t doing anything.

I’m gonna will this to be true and speak it into existence. LaVar told me this will work.

He needs a good team? What? The Raptors are loaded with talent, veteran and young. Siakam is a stud and future all star. Lowery and Gasol are really good too. The 6ers did what they were supposed to do, defended home court. If they blow out the Raps in game 4, then we can start with the hyperbolic takes. 

Paul appeared to make contact with an official.  Which is an automatic tech (iirc) so yes Paul deserved to get his 2nd and get tossed.  Did green deserve to be tossed as well?  I don't know. But I don't recall him making contact with an official

And that’s my big frustration. The refs called the game completely evenly in terms of *the application of the rules*. But the Warriors adjusted to those calls and tried to work through them, as you’re supposed to if you want to win.

Well, he refuses to change his game in the playoffs until his team is facing elimination. Then he changes to ‘Off.’

Typical Deadspin, focus on the beef and not on Steph Curry's incredible feat of touching the rim. SMH

How did he fuck them over? Wouldn’t fucking them over be “telling them he has plans to re-sign, then just leaving after next year” or “just leaving after next year so they get fucking nothing because the NBA doesn’t do compensation picks like the NFL or MLB”? Sure, he hamstrung them a little by restricting them to one…

This is bonkers, is it not? Absolutely bonkers. Do we think LeBron now tries to get out. Is it possible in this unholy timeline that the Knicks land the number one pick and trade it for LeBron? LeBron and Durant together? Does LeBron demand a trade and keep his family in LA? Does he want to go back to Miami (please…

He’s fine. Also Magic Johnson quit. Holy Moses.

Time for an overused meme from 1994!
