EG would be moronic to not at least put out a flyer to the T-Wolves and see what it would take to land JB.

Man, this Mac Miller passing really sucks. He was such a talented kid. I've been a fan of his from the jump...If you all get a chance, peep this: NSFW (language:) RIP

Im glad you don’t have a badge or gun.

Um....being blackballed in his profession for bringing AWARENESS to a huge problem plaguing minorities here in the states, is actually sacrifice. And as it's been stated before, don't politicize Pat Tillman when that 10000% goes against the wishes of his family. Last thing I'll say about Tillman...had you taken a little bit of time to read up on the man and his values, you'd know that his stance was most likely a lot different than yours. You can stick to using his name, posting his pic, etc. to help whatever narrative you're trying to push, but fact of the matter is, it's completely off base.

He's blackballed by the league. Debate his merits as a starter, sure...however, he's more than good enough to be on an NFL roster as a backup. He did sacrifice everything. When it's all said and done, this dude will be remembered in the same regard as Ali, etc. This isn't hyperbole...dude not only talks the talk, but he walks it as well. *Eric Reid is going down the same path right now as a guy who's good enough to be on a roster (probably start for a grip of teams,) but his outspoken nature concerning the hypocrisy of the NFL makes him a dude who is pretty much untouchable.

Maaaaan, I LOVE this. Good on Nike. Kap deserves this.

45 wins.

People confuse Lebron making the RIGHT basketball play with being passive... Bruh...

Define high-level...he was a high-volume chucker when his career was winding down. In the prime of both of their careers, I think an argument can be made that Wade was the better of the two. Kobe has longevity and some of his accolades (all-defense, etc) were off of rep rather than merit based.

I think it's closer than you guys think...

I think a case can be made for Wade being better than Kobe, but that's another debate for another day.

Top 5, what? SG, sure... All-time? Pfffftttt....

Dwight's a clown but he's the most talented center we've had here in years. He's walking into an ornery locker room with guys who probably won't be afraid to put hands on him despite his size. Just rebound and show a semblance of defensive awareness. That's all.

Saw this vid a few years back...it was always fun to try and figure out who these kids were. Now we got names...

Two future DPOYs and a scoring champ. SO much talent in that gym.

Rivers/Rondo are two completely different players. Rondo reinvented himself last year in NO, but Rivers, on this Wizards team, is a HUGE plus to the bench. He's a combo guard capable of playing with either Wall or Beal when one is on the bench getting a breather. Rondo is strictly a 1. Nothing more, nothing less. Might be one of the smartest guys in the league. BBall IQ is off the charts, and from what I know of him that I've read, he's brilliant academically as well.

Even with the addition of Howard/Rivers, I still think the Wizards are, at best 4th in the East. They're not better than Boston, Philly, or Toronto. Adding Kawhi changes EVERYTHING. *0% chance this happens, but it's still fun to speculate.

I think a lot of teams are hesitant because they know that Kawhi will be a rental. Why give up controllable assets to SA for a guy who may walk at the end of the year? Wizards can't be picky. If there is a way for Ernie to get creative about making a trade without giving up either Wall or Beal, he needs to do it. The thing about Kawhi, is unless you're in his inner-circle, you have no clue what his intentions are. He's tight-lipped, as is his team.

BINGO. It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if he walked. However, with Ernie overseeing that money....ugh. Porter/Oubre/Sato/picks.... whatever it takes.

Even if it is for a rental, this is a gamble that the Wizards HAVE to make. Landing Kawhi, without giving up either Wall/Beal, IMO, catapults them as the forerunners to get out of the East. This would be a formidable big 3 who would ultimately take the Warriors to 5 games and lose. I'd be OK with that.

Johnny Damon grew up throwing a baseball and it was awkward. Probably the absolute worst arm I've ever seen in all my years watching baseball. Also, Brown reminds me more of Evan Turner than anything. That's good value at #15 if he stays the course.

Wizards need to find a way to get Devin Robinson 8-10 min per night. Too much athleticism and energy to keep rotting behind the corpse of Markieff Morris.

Admittedly, I didn't know anything about Brown...but I can see why the team was high on him. Dude has a fantastic IQ on the court. Like what I'm seeing out of him, Robinson, and Bryant. Still not over the Sanon pick, tho.

Agreed. It was a moronic pick, especially considering who was still available. If I'm not mistaken, there is still a roster spot open on the final-15. That could have easily been the 2nd round pick.

Sanon is 2 years away from being 2 years away, to quote Fran Fraschilla. The pick sucked. No fault of the kid, he can't help where he was selected. THere were better options out there that could help immediately.
