Now those Vegas odds numbers make sense.

Did we really expect AD to go anywhere else? Especially with Golden State's dynasty on life support. Unless someone went crazy and rolled the dice on a Kawhi-type gamble since he and his agent pretty much said Lakers/Knicks or bust.

How did the Pelicans make out here? Do any of the players they got have the potential to blossom into Stars?

I'm not exactly an NBA insider but by most accounts it was a steep price for sure.



Of course I can understand why GM LeBron did this, Davis would probably re-up in LA and they still have enough cap room to get even another FA, they can build the Miami model of three stars, Kuzma and filler to win a title.

DAVIS allegedly had to go to LA so his unibrow brand could grow. I’m m not sure he really thought it through and I’m not sure if going with LeBron’s representation was in Davis’s best interests or more likely LeBron’s best interests. DAVIS will now be LeBron’s sidekick and valet. Maybe that will grow his brand but I think the Warriors proved that actual winning adds more value to your brand than just playing in a big market. With LeBron aging and their draft picks tied up for years to come I’m not sure that DAVIS went to a team with much of a near term future unless that LA mystique lures some more players there in free agency before LeBron ages to the point where he is ineffective.

And ESPN will have stories about this jackass as often as possible regardless. ESPN sucks.

Myles Powell and Myles Cale will be representing Team USA at the Pan Am Games this summer, and Willard will be an assistant to Ed Cooley.

Villanova will be sending Gillespie and Samuels, and St. John's will send Heron.

Zion's and Barretts post-draft interviews were so emotional and awesome. you don't see those in the NHL

Man, Kyrie and KD (along with DeAndre Jordan) going to the Nets. I know people hate the Nets now but honestly I don't think they're getting these FA's if they're still in NJ since unfortunately that stigma still exists. And at least it wasn't the Knicks getting rewarded for tanking.

There it is!

It's going to be nice watching that team with genuine intrigue again.

LOLZ, this Tweet didn't age well

Lol Knicks

 

[Lindys Lazy Eye]

I stopped being a Nets fan because they dubbed themselves too good for NJ

Now I gotta see this.

Feels sad man.

But you know what doesn't feel sad? Seeing the Knicks continue to be the Bing of NYC pro sports teams

 

[Billdo]

Going to be so many fake Nets fans coming out of the woodwork now.

 

[Devilsfan992]

Meh .. gives me less reason to root for the Nets. The becoming contenders overnight strategy in the NBA turns me off to be honest. It just doesn't feel as earned as a Stanley Cup.

 

[New Jersey]

it’s a nets town now.

can’t *wait* to be labeled a bandwagoner.

 

[New Jersey]

the 1977 new jersey nets warmup jacket with that hat i purchased immediately after they bailed will be back in full effect.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Schoomz and other Knicks fans get another offseason of pretending anyone actually wants to play there and then nothing.

Wonder who next year’s fantasy will be.

I don't know man, as much as I loathe the Knicks this town has an exceptional amount of incompetent owners and poorly run franchises.

The Nets aren't exactly an exception to that.

Yet.

Until the Kenny Anderson jersey comes out anyway.
