Any and all college basketball >>> Westbrook shooting 6-26 because Bron and Brow both have groin injuries for the 15th game in a row

 

Cmon, there's plenty of good to great NBA basketball to negate any desperation to watch that nonsense in LA.  They even spared us by not making the playoffs.

Corrupt Adam Silver is trying to lower the age from 19 to 18 for NBA eligibility. Doesn't seem very fair and would kill the college game.

**** college. Let the athletes choose.

The "he loves being a big fish in a small pond" analogy feels spot in right now.

 

It's hard to knock a player for wanting to win where they were drafted, but that's his call if he never even reaches WCF staying there.

He has reached it before. The big fish in a small pond analogy doesn’t fit. The pond is the nba not Portland. He is a big fish in the biggest pond (nba).

Wizard fans talking down on LA teams. The irony.

so you are robbing college fans of the right to watch bancero whow ould have gone pro after high school

 

guys did we forget kwame already? come on!


no you are robbing fans of seeing players nobody has an attachment to looking at their coach every possession for instruction on what to do, clanking bricks off the back iron, and letting balls bounds twice before being rebounded in the middle of a 64-60 shootout 
 

there will just be different players taking that space and the sport will move on the same as always

It tough being a Knicks fan. As insanely stupid as Ainge’s trade request is…. you can’t even rule out entirely that they’d do it.

 

I have no idea why they are interested in Mitchell. Hes not the right franchise guy who you would make that kind of trade for. And he doesn’t really fit the roster construction.

 

Keep building Leon.

Wells Fargo is perfectly functional. Not sure why teams are so eager to build new stadiums when the current ones work fine.

 

The only justified moves I can recall are GS moving from Oracle (very old, very dilapidated) to Chase and Kings from Arco to Golden 1. Atlanta never should have left Turner Field (built in 95) or the Georgia Dome.

 

Also Milwaukee left the Bradley center for Fiserv, don't remember if the bradley center was ****ty or not. Anyway, Wells Fargo is fine.

1.  Wells Fargo is owned by Comcast.  They don't want to keep paying rent to Comcast.

 

2.  They think they'll do better downtown than out in south Philly.

 

Wouldn't be shocked if it doesn't happen.  Might just be a negotiating ploy for future rent with Comcast.

The lie is that, in the case of KD and the Dubs, the team management didn't tamper. He was recruited by Steph, Andre, Klay, and Dray who visited KD when he was in the Hamptons.

 

That story has been well documented and players recruiting players isn't tampering. 

 

Suspect the same with Lebron. I believe the NBA only prohibits early team (coaches, management) contact.

So, if Harden had some drinks in the off-season with former teammates Tucker and House, then no tampering.

 

Seems legit.

That sounds correct. But I thought the issue was that the NBA was investigating if the Sixers have a future deal with Harden already agreed too? One that would be against the rules since Harden turned down his 47mil this year for 33 this year or something. Which conveniently allowed the Sixers to sign those other players.

He signed a 2 yr/68.6M deal.  Year 2 is a player option.

Which he will decline because of a handshake deal with the Sixers for much more...at least that's what is being alleged. And that's what the NBA is investigating.
