I’m sure Brooks and Rivers will insist that it’s all water under the bridge.

I’m also a fan of “Wiz-turds”

I think you’re focusing on the wrong end of the stick here by looking at cap-and-max in a vacuum. The really significant part of the CBA for the players is the fact that they get a guaranteed, negotiated, locked-in share of BRI. Cap-and-max doesn’t actually affect how much NBA players make, as a group - it only…

I don’t say this to dispute your assertion that he’s a good guy. By all accounts, he is, and he comes off as a good guy in interviews, etc. But... buying his dad a car? Not really a prerequisite for being a good guy.

I actually forgot that he played for the Nuggets.

Ok. That settles that I guess.

They’ve only been blown out by the (Kawhi-less) Raptors, but have otherwise been in every game they’ve played this seasons.

Dario probably isn’t going to be a star. He’s a solid starter/role player. But, c’mon, bortlesday, don’t small-sample-size us. It’s a poor 13 game stretch for a player who is in his 3rd year in the NBA.

He needs more playing time. He’ll get it back. Also, Embiid needs to score 41 points in every game and the Sixers will be fine.

That’s awesome. It’s good for them, it’s good for him, and honestly it’s good for the game. They saw a generational player in danger of falling through the cracks, and moved to put him in a healthy and functional situation for more or less the first time in his career. Whatever they get out of it, he and the rest of…

Can he be somebody more fun to watch than James Harden?

Christ you guys are getting annoying with the Markelle-watch stuff. And most other things too.  

Well.... Second to the guy asking 100k for a Dodge neon.

he cheated on his wife. that’s the worst he personally did.

For sure. If they’re smart, they’ll figure out a way to leverage it. Also, Smith should make a mockery of it by dropping “supreme” as many times as possible during every interview and post-game press conference:

It is.  I just learned that Supreme is a brand.  I still don’t know what it is, and am not compelled to find out, but I am now aware that it is a thing.

“least-used” =/= “underused”

Yeah, but at least all that hustle and grind for that patented Thibs defensive genius was good for...

I am absolutely certain they have focus grouped and paneled this shit to death. I am guessing this stuff packed into yearly sports game franchises is based purely on demographics; according to research published in the paper: Stein, A., Mitgutsch, K., & Consalvo, M. (2012). Who are sports gamers? A large scale study…

If “we are honest,” Kawhi Leonard might not be That good anymore either. We have no idea of knowing. He hasn’t played meaningful NBA minutes in over a year.
