This is months ahead of schedule. Really hope he's not rushing himself back, but the coaches have been saying nothing but good things about his play so far.
By DY_nasty Go To PostOrlando hasn't even been tanking lolYeah I know they aren’t tanking, probably should have used someone else. Plenty of teams do tank but have nothing to show for it, they shouldn’t be rewarded for making basketball worse off. If fans stop showing up like someone said, oh well. Any team in danger of becoming irrelevant because of the draft changes are garbage franchises that shouldn’t be supported anyway.
Last year, the only real tank jobs were from start to finish were Phx and LA. There were plenty of teams that SHOULD have tanked though; Dallas, Miami, New York, Detroit, Sacramento, Orlando, and Atlanta imo
Asshole squads like Sacramento and New Jersey ruined it for everyone and got Philly and Boston picks that they don't even need.
By reilo Go To PostThe shit that makes your soul burn slow.Doesn't burn as much as offering Kanter the contract that eventually allowed us to land Melo instead of you.
By KingGondo Go To PostDoesn't burn as much as offering Kanter the contract that eventually allowed us to land Melo instead of you.🙄🙄🙄
By DY_nasty Go To PostI feel you but the Knicks are one of the most profitable teams in the league lolKnicks, Bulls, and Lakers are still tops in profits (along with whoever is the current "best" team) regardless of their record or roster or performance. lol
By KingGondo Go To PostDoesn't burn as much as offering Kanter the contract that eventually allowed us to land Melo instead of you.Come on, now, that is weak. Would still be weak even if it came from me.
By DY_nasty Go To PostI feel you but the Knicks are one of the most profitable teams in the league lolKnicks and Lakers could tank for 5+ years straight yet still get Christmas Day national tv games.
By KingGondo Go To PostDoesn't burn as much as offering Kanter the contract that eventually allowed us to land Melo instead of you.lmao you spent a whole day for this comeback about a player I wasn’t sure I even wanted?
You know what burns? Ownership willing to pay $50mil in luxury tax for 33-year-old Melo but not $5mil for 23-year-old James Harden.

Ownership lost Durant and is shitting bricks about Westbrook peacing. Back against the wall
By Omzz Go To PostHawks Tank just gained 15 lbs of muscle.
Hawks looking good
By Fenderputty Go To PostOwnership lost Durant and is shitting bricks about Westbrook peacing. Back against the wallDudes try to block the draft reform because they 1 year from being the worst team in the NBA
By blackace Go To PostDudes try to block the draft reform because they 1 year from being the worst team in the NBABeing the only single team against smoothing out the lottery odds says a lot about where OKC fears they will be in a year. If Russ, Melo, & PG all walk that roster will make the last few years of Brooklyn look like the Warriors by comparison.
Wait they were seriously the only team?
Also ... is there a place for a good breakdown on players for fantasy BBall. In a family league this year.

By s y Go To PostI legit just heard Gondo let out a sigh of relief. Think I heard Blackace mutter "fuck" too.lol I can't say you wrong
good for russ.
trolling okc is fun but i can't imagine what it would feel like to have KD/Russ/Harden and losing all three because of ownership

but good for Russ to take the bag and be there for the faithful
I never once expected him to leave for the Lakers, so I'm happy that nonsense got should down today and we never have to hear about it again.
By DY_nasty Go To PostOrlando hasn't even been tanking lolSuns weren't tanking to start the season.

They were just bad.
By knux-future Go To Postcongrats Gondo.Gondo was sweating that October 16 deadline like Roberson sweats going to the free throw line for a game winner. Nothing on the low about it.
I know you were sweatin on the low
By RATHasReturned Go To PostI never once expected him to leave for the Lakers, so I'm happy that nonsense got should down today and we never have to hear about it again.Right. It was always a trade.
What are the lakers trading for him?
(stupid laker rumours / trades are the NBA constant).
Damn, payin Russ 41M a year for 5 years is nuts. Hope his body survives.
By reilo Go To PostKD out there winning chips.
By giririsss Go To PostKD out there winning chips.Could still be winning chips making what he’s worth, but nah that dude gullible af.
By reilo Go To PostCould still be winning chips making what he’s worth, but nah that dude gullible af.I mean. That aint true.
But lets also not make out like KD isn't going to walk away with a couple hundred million by the time he stops playing either.
By giririsss Go To PostI mean. That aint true.It isn’t? lol okay
But lets also not make out like KD isn't going to walk away with a couple hundred million by the time he stops playing either.
What the Warriors truly lack to win a chip is that blue collar veteran bench player.
By reilo Go To PostIt isn’t? lol okay.

What's the projected tax penalty if all three stay? It would have to make even the strong at heart blush
By Fenderputty Go To PostWhat's the projected tax penalty if all three stay? It would have to make even the strong at heart blushIf they re-sign Melo and Paul George, it'll be $140mil in summer 2019.
"Next Season" signals they don't plan to sign Melo so his contract drops the following year? So the pitch to keep PG is stay and we'll try to not get too much worse while shedding some tax in 2020? That repeater penalty gonna get crazy no?
Edit: Or am I not reading that right and they want to extend Melo and resign PG? In which case their penalty goes up in 2020?

If Melo opts-in for 2018-19 (he's got an ETO) and they re-sign Paul George, it will be north of $140mil. Even if Melo chooses not to opt-in, it'll be a ridiculous amount.
They'll be over the tax this season (17-18), Melo opts-in for 18-19, and they re-sign PG in Summer 2018: $140mil tax bill due Summer 2019.

That's so 2016. This year it's all about losing your tank 4.5 lbs so it can beast.
OK ... gotcha ... but won't a repeater tax hit for 2020 making that 140 million balloon more? Unless they gut the team that is?

Good on them, tbh. If there's ever a time to go all-in, it's when you've got a generational talent that you drafted who's at an MVP peak. That franchise may never, ever be in this situation again. I hope they can give the Warriors a scare.
Small Market teams droppin' serious coinage. I would love to see the cap removed just to see how crazy shit gets. Single contract might be enough to ensure team never get more than two stars at this point
