yeah angry kd seems to kind of evolved out of nowhere, like there wasn't much hint of this in previous years that i recall, and now he has embraced it so completely, it's pretty incredible

classic heel turn

i feel like maybe russ hypnotized him??

i liked when KD called out chris palmer, who's easily the biggest clown ever to write about basketball, but his general mad at the media steez is kinda lame

having to deal w russ and scotty on a daily basis for years + getting injured is likely responsible imo

also being mad at the media is only one aspect of bad kd he also called dwight a pussy to his face etc

Russ is the Undertaker in this scenario? xxxp

Nah, Russ is Paul Bearer

the idylls of doo doo jump seem so long ago

it's weird, it somehow makes him have even less personality, like who actually is he

he's a mystery wrapped in a riddle inside an enigma of a real MVP

Amare bought out

how bad are the knicks gonna be for the rest of the year

so many teams could use him for 20 minutes a game.

knicks have the worst record locked up must be

amar'e should come to the celtics I mean look at what being on the Cs did for tayshaun prince

he should go back the suns so they suns training staff can get to work on him

mavs could really use him

according to the buzz, they're at the front of the pack to grab him up now that he's free. jermaine oneal also, once he's in balling condition. mavs are in full "pasta on the wall" mode rn

larry sanders abt to get bought out, prob will not play for another team this year

lowe's column sez celtics & nugs having talks about ty lawson- intriguing

huh wow that is intriguing

this whole cap jump situation btw idk why saleries arent just denominated in % of the cap seems p obvious

like some of them are even calculated that way then converted to dollar values

assuming that smart, james young and maybe kelly o are off the table, who does boston deal aside from picks? I would assume thornton or bass, because even denver isn't stupid enough to take the albatross that is the gerald wallace contract

idk man math baffles me

ya seem like itd be vets just to match contracts then picks as the real value but i guess they cld throw in a young player instead of a pick too

if your smart, you can meet leaders of every
nation

wonder how much a contending team will spend on him, money can't be a huge issue given that he was bought out

I can't figure out who "Anna" is

wintour prob

was hoping it was chlumsky but you're probably right

Their would-be star was a hazardous fit -- sometimes even literally. One day, memorably, the rehabbing big man parked next to Aaron Barzilai, DiLeo's newly hired director of basketball analytics, in the parking lot of the team facility at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. As Bynum shuffled inside, Barzilai noticed something on their would-be star's custom black Ferrari and called after him. Bynum, it turned out, had driven away from a gas station without removing the pump's nozzle and eight-
foot rubber hose, which he'd dragged, pythonlike, through the street.

nice

bars tbh

these trade possibilities are really fascinating, as is Larry Sanders hitting the FA market

amar'e to the mavs

you know what would be an interesting big man combo? Enes Kanter and Larry Sanders.

isnt that substanially the same as kanter/gobert?

gonna be hard to get them on the same team because kanter is gone

he might not be, albeit only because of his reps' unrealistic expectations

read someone saying its unlikely sanders will sign/play this year

ya sanders should probably just chill

re: kanter, woj sez utah want a solid young player and a first rounder at least, so actually they're being more unrealistic than he is...like in what world is enes fucking kanter worth that much if he can't protect the rim particularly well

it's good that Amare already planned an exit - i hated him being injured and sucking up salary cap space but he can be good on a team with less pressure on his role
