LeBron and Dion Waiters are both living their best lives today. Good for them.

This was the most fun I’ve had watching a tennis match in a long time.

Yeah. They are getting him for the Steve Kerr Memorial Bulls role - if you get an open 3, hit the open 3. That’s it.

And if Nick Young doesn’t think it’s funny, he’s not gonna make it very long on a team with ballbusters like Draymond.

Yeah. Dubya was a piss-poor president, but seems like a fairly decent human being in non-political settings.

(the point is that he was winning before in OKC, too. one doesn’t preclude the other)

Not really, because he would be making the same money on his shoe deal anywhere - he certainly would have, playing with Russ in OKC. Sure, the shoe deal fills in the gaps of the salary he’s giving up, but if he wanted to, he could have the shoe deal on top of a supermax contract, and he would still be underpaid.

To be fair, Chris, both of those top-4 East players (George, Butler) were traded. They didn’t have much of a choice about where they were going.

The OKC Horror Story Version is that both Russ and George leave to go to the Lakers.

I mean, I would definitely consider it if I had to take one punch to the face for 100 million dollars. Even though I would probably be dead if I tried it.

This is the best Kinja I’ve seen in a long time.

I think he was actually trying to argue Curry was a bad defender. Which is still not correct, necessarily, but it is different and probably less egregious.

I guess technically “an hour later” is “by the All-Star Break.”

Let’s hope that the NBA bans the “jumping into the defender’s arms for 3 free throws” move this offseason. Harden used it to death last year, but Chris Paul was the one he learned it from to start with. Rockets games could be super fun, or they could be 3 hours of watching two guys shoot free throws.

You misspelled “an hour later.”

I have been a Cub fan for 35 years. They win one World Series, and now they are concerned about “choking out of the playoffs”? Talk to teenage me about how excited he would be for them to even be in the playoffs in 3 consecutive years.

+1 Chris Gaines

Which would still mean playing the Warriors in the 2nd round... But a Lakers team of Lonzo, Ingram, Randle, Clarkson, Lopez, and LeBron isn’t better than San Antonio, Houston, Utah (with Hayward/Hill), or even the CP3 Clippers. Conley + Grit/Grind would also give that team a run for their money.

I mean, this is the Lance Stephenson signing for Charlotte all over again, right? Head case, change of scenery, etc.

If we’re being real, all of the NBA players could kick my ass. But David West is probably at the bottom of the list of players I’d fuck with.
