Last season Kevin Knox finished 514th and last in real +/-.

Imho due to Phil Jackson's comments and job performance with the Knicks, I think some people forget about Isiah's behavior and job performance with the Knicks.

I think he'll be traded for a contract that's similarly horrible (Wiggins/Hayward). I also read that there are scenarios where Miami could trade for him and still have a max slot.

MIN & BOS would be dumb to trade either of those two for him. He makes 20 million more than both.

At this time last year I had them easily winning the East (but losing to the Warriors in the Finals) and winning next years championship as I figured the Warriors would have either split up or would be breaking down due to high mileage.

To be honest though I'm actually more surprised the Nets made the playoffs last season, I figured they were going to suck at least until 2023ish.

Trae Young put up a sneaky good second half averaging 19, almost 4, and 8 for the whole season. Who won that Doncic trade? Is it obvious or not?

It's quite obvious. Doncic will be a perennial league mvp contender, Trae Young will not.

I like the Wizards saying they don't need a GM for the draft/free agency ... after 8 guys turned them down.

Man, you're drinking the Kool-Aid. Doncic's good, but he won't be a perennial MVP contender.

I don't know if Doncic will be a perennial MVP candidate, but I surely believe he's going to be better than Trae Young without a doubt.

I think there will be seasons where Doncic contends for MVP, but not every single season.

Doncic, though, seems like the type to just go ****ing nuts when the playoffs arrive and lead his teams on constant deep runs.

Both had great debut seasons, so good that some were saying they could do co-ROY like they did with Kidd/Hill way back. Honestly they will be compared forever but I don't think its as clear cut yet. Doncic got a lot more hype too.

If the Lakers offered D'lo $70 mil for 3 years he should take it. He can get more, but he could get a ring with them.

It's widely assumed that Sheppard will get the full job at some point.

The Celtics deserve this with how arrogant the team and the fans have been acting over the last few years. Credit where credit is due because no doubt they made some really smart moves. However, the non-stop talking **** and rubbing it in the faces of the Nets, Cavs, Sixers, etc was a bit much.

And they’re from Boston so it’s about time their fans get a glimpse of how rooting for a mediocre team feels like

 

[Say Hey Kid]

The Lakers hire Magic and Kobe's agent to run the front office. They have an aging LeBron, an injury prone AD, and Rob is such a rookie he forgot to include enough cap space for a 3rd max contract in the AD trade.

The Warriors obviously rushed KD and China Klay back too soon. Both sides would be stupid to stay together.

Guaranteed HoFer Zion is the most over hyped rookie I've seen in half a century. He will not be the next Charles Barkley.

@Wrigley I don't get caling Klay "China" when he is one of the most durabale stars in the league.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

The sad thing is the Lakers could have hired Griffin when Magic stepped down. Their next 5 first round picks are tied up by the AD trade and NBA rules. Except for Kuzma, the Lakers have no assets to trade for the salary cap relief they should have made part of the AD trade.

It has nothing to do with durability. Start following his Twitter in the off season.

So, she brought the baby back to his house 10-11 days after the baby was lethargic and perhaps high?

Not saying he's right, but why didn't she report it then? They could have taken a blood/urine test from the baby on the spot.

Sounds like she was expecting more financially out of these meetings and is now going after him when she didn't get it.

 

[BostonBob]

Rumor floating around about a possible deal between Boston and Houston. Clint Capela to Boston and Aron Baynes plus the # 20 and # 22 pick going to Houston.

I don't have the tweet, but apparently Kyrie called into a Boston radio station in disguise to defend himself .
