By pkaz01 Go To PostHoping the trade deadline fixes that, put some turbo on the tank with trades

don't think bledsoes value has ever rbeen higher

Though i'd rather get rid of knight.

Ujiri is like the godfather of the African NBA illuminati.

DO IT MITCHSAI

KD hired more security

By blackace Go To PostKD hired more security

Don't blame him. Lots of guns floating around here because of our dumb laws. Only takes one idiot to cause a tragedy.

I can see them doing it backwards unfortunately. I figure you trade knight now and wait til the offseason to trade bledsoe in case you get pick #3 and Josh Jackson is the best prospect and then keep him, but if you get 1 or 2 trade him for value.

But they might also ship him out in the off season and try to play knight at the 1 until the off season and trade him then instead in hopes his value will rise by then.

Either way give me Ball or Fultz and I don't care when or how its done. My biggest disappointment would be if we decide to stick with Bledsoe long term and reach and pick someone like isaac or fox at number 2. I'm kind of all in on Lonzo at this point question marks be damned 6'6 pg with 6'7 sg yes please.

I really don't think Ball is the one you want.

His game ccould REALLY struggle to translate to the NBA.

His passes aren't on point. His shot release is super slow. His defense is meh.

uncconvinced about ball by a long way.

who didnt see that coming? Hopefully it doesn't set him back too much.

When is Simmons playing?

By s y Go To Postwho didnt see that coing

By Kabro Go To PostNone of the be best player for either team are featured.

KD is the best player on GS.

By giririsss Go To Posteveryone.

I hate that this is so true.

it was fun while it lasted.

OFF TO DRAFTEXPRESS WITH MEEEEEEE

only player i want to keep

By s y Go To Postfirespo.com

I would like to add something to this, which may not be a secret to some. But I'll say it anyway.

A close friend of mine here in FL has a very well known father in Miami, a prominent lawyer. His legal representation is mostly celebs/athletes. We've talked sports before and he flat out stated some stuff that were pretty eye-opening. The jist: Spolstra is a good coach who has only ever been hampered by LeBron, basically.

LeBron kicked and screamed like a baby in Miami behind closed doors, but Riley was fairly good at keeping that stuff under wraps. A number of times when the Heat blew games, especially in the playoffs, it was LeBron going rogue and playing outside of the playbook. Ignoring scouting reports. Underestimating role-player guys coming off the bench (*cough* Danny Green *cough*). Some of those regular season losing streaks and random blow outs Miami had? LeBron trying to showboat and 'coast'.

Yet, to Riley, who James thought he had a confidant in, he'd bad mouth Spolstra during the hard parts in Miami. Does this sound familiar? But Riley didn't care a whole lot. He got what he needed out of LeBron and let him bitch and moan until he left. Riley ultimately doesn't prioritize superstar whining over professionalism and dedication, and he much rather preferred Spo stayed. It's also why he let Wade walk. The man is cold blooded, but extremely calculated when it comes to work.

RIP

Jesus that is sad :(

Dang, he was young too.

Is this from the meek mill dance or are the sixers like


We need to get a high pick and hopefully push the Lakers out the top #3

What's this about Meek Mill & Embiid?

Did Hinkie get done dirty?

Gondo's boy KD about to return home. Russ about to style on GS.

boy the atmosphere

dam russ is beastin' with the passes.

What the fuck? Fab Melo died?

Roberson is trash

McGee is amazing offensively and terrible defensively for a 7'1" guy with no basketball skills.

Noel is seeing dat MAX in his future now and is playing like he cares again

This was a terrible quarter from Westbrook and Durant.

By Adam Blade Go To PostWhat's this about Meek Mill & Embiid?

This was like yesterday I think..... and the fans were mad about him doing it because he could injure himself before the knee injury was announced

fans weren't mad. old people might have been.

dude has to live his life . if his body breaks from some light dancing then this isn't for him anyway.

To be fair I got that anger from RealGM.... so you're probably right.

This doesn't feel anywhere near as angry as when LeBron returned

By pilonv1 Go To PostThis doesn't feel anywhere near as angry as when LeBron returned

Hard to have any emotion when you are getting your ass kicked.

The OKC Bench without Kanter is pretty fucking horrible.

By IWMTB19 Go To PostThe OKC Bench without Kanter is pretty fucking horrible.

This the same bench that was doing the Cavs dirty last time? WTF?

watching Miami lose to Philly is far more interesting then how the polite folks of OKC react to a Beta.

1 dribble from half court to the basket,
nice travel though

pretty sure Jah has been traded. Was seen shaking the hands of the FO and his teammates

so Phoenix are off to a good start

20 to 3 5 mins in.. fuck yea lol

By knux-future Go To Postpretty sure Jah has been traded. Was seen shaking the hands of the FO and his teammates

damn, Pels right?
who are y'all getting?

RIP Fab

By Kabro Go To Postdamn, Pels right?

probably trash and future picks we will never see, Colangelo needs to get the heat off of him after lying about Embiid

By knux-future Go To Postprobably trash and future picks we will never see, Colangelo needs to get the heat off of him after lying about Embiid

it wasn't a year ago we were talking about trading Randle for Okafor.
I still think he'll flourish under the right situation.
specifically a winning team.
and with Embiid out for a while,
Noel is definitely staying now :(

By Kabro Go To Postit wasn't a year ago we were talking about trading Randle for Okafor.

I wish him well in his future endeavors. He has actually been a good solider despite the shitty situation (sans going ham in boston and on bridges). He has the talent to be really really good...but good lord his defense is bad

Just as expected, overhyped game but will be done at halftime

By Omzz Go To PostJust as expected, overhyped game but will be done at halftime

there is another half left, sitll plenty of time.
