when i saw this on the ESPN front page...

lol

Lebron is the king of the league and monarchs can be hell to live under.

ok this in the woj article is lol

The Cavaliers are constructed to play a slow, half-court game around James, personnel ill-suited to transition into an up-tempo style with Irving as the centerpiece.

I support Kyrie

heh tom thibodeau rip, killed in a zach lowe drive by

Minnesota has only 11 players under contract, meaning a 3-for-1 deal would leave them with half a roster. Maybe that is Tom Thibodeau's fever dream, so that he can play everyone 40-plus minutes.

^forgot the formatting but that's a quote from lowe's article analyzing who could trade for kyrie

Portland has traded Allen Crabbe to Brooklyn for Andrew Nicholson, league sources tell ESPN.

i guess the nets really want allen crabbe

that evan turner contract remains an abject disaster

guess that frees up some money for the blazers? crabbe was their best bench player

PDX is waiving nicholson and gonna stretch his contract

bobby marks

Portland will see their current luxury tax bill drop from $48.3M to $4.4M with the Allen Crabbe trade

did not realise portland are into the luxury tax lol

love that move for PDX's bank account

weird

Brandon Knight torn ACL out for the year

lol how many times have i heard about paul allen and the blazers infinite budget?

i guess that only comes to pass if they're competing for rings

fair tbh

pretty sure if any team were dropping an extra $40m on the luxury of having allen crabbe around they'd slough him off on an also-ran asap

if brooklyn's willing to be a parking garage for some shit contracts i've got a few wings to sell them

somehow lamar odom is alive and sober https://www.theplayerstribune.com/lamar-odom-done-in-the-dark/

oh damn i forgot his kid died of sids at 6 months. feel for lamar, hope he can stay away from his addictions

that dude needs to stay away from toxic + famous families, at the end of that run there he was being used for dramatic purposes for a tv show and gossip rags.

javale back. swaggy and javale what could go wrong

front and center, right?

think so.

Ya

confidence levels high

man, July-August is brutal, i miss basketball (any sport).

take your pick of: tennis, golf, car racing, or baseball. on second thought, why bother.

i like all those (minus car racing) but really only the big tournies/playoffs.

went and saw bryce harper and the Nats play the dbacks twice last week. that was fun. he hits the ball hard and often.

can kyrie drama sustain us

its already old unfortunately. like on the jump yesterday it was 'which one of these 28 fake trade works the best' and it was just way too much.

once the deal goes down there will be plenty to dissect for a couple days tho

cavs shd trade bron instead tbqh

def

hell yea

take your pick of: tennis, golf, car racing, or baseball. on second thought, why bother.

I love baseball but the stretch from post-ASG until the last 2 or 3 weeks when teams start clinching is really a snooze

hot hoops news y'all: Brandon Jennings to play in China next year

achilles injuries stay winning

ha the cavs r dum http://nba.nbcsports.com/2017/07/28/report-cavaliers-pacers-nuggets-paul-george-trade-fell-apart-over-pick-protection

if he can refine his shot selection a lil hes very good, if he can refine his shot selection and consistently bring the defensive intensity weve seen in the offs hes a star, currently hes brilliant but flawed
