yeah that looks...wildly optimistic to me.

i read "nick wright" in your commentary as "nick young" and the best way to describe the face i made at my screen was... nick_young.gif

haha

first game of the season is celtics sixers it looks like?

Poor Kenneth Farweed

This year is gonna suck if Manu retires.

panic trade incoming

76ers owner Josh Harris: Brett Brown could remain GM this season https://t.co/1TzVPM7Ibz

i'd rather have brown as my gm than a colangelo

as a celtics fan i'd be delighted if the sixers let brett brown be coach/gm

Today, with a wide range of feelings, I'm announcing my retirement from basketball. IMMENSE GRATITUDE to everyone (family, friends, teammates, coaches, staff, fans) involved in my life in the last 23 years. It's been a fabulous journey. Way beyond my wildest dreams. pic.twitter.com/3MLCUtmd6K

Manu retiring, respect to the gawd. Now just 2 active players older than me :O
xp

brown did make a decidedly longterm trade on draft night... that said the recent history of a coach being a GM and it going well is nonexistent

I guess I'm just bullish on him overall. He could probably be a good CEO type GM if he let someone else coach. Doing both is a bad idea for sure.

This year sucks.

manu is punking us, he will be playing in october

he shd sit out til the spring imo

all things must pass

except manu ginobili who is BY LAW not allowed to retire as it violates his contract, so basically the spurs should sue him into playing this year

fun watch

didnt know embiid is older than jokic, also didnt realize jokic shot 40% from 3 on nearly 4 attempts per game last year.

embiid is pretty old don't forget he missed a lot of time

people talk about him as if hes like 21 with huge upside still but that's not really the case

coach nick seems higher on jokic's defense than most

his badness in defense is overstated

I’d still want embiid tho, at least short term

i'm not saying his useless on defense but physically it's just never going to be great

jokic is fine at defense iirc

does that video cover jokics dfg% within 6ft being 24% worse than embiids?

68% vs 44%

he's a bad 1 on 1 defender but an elite defensive rebounder, which is part of defense

embiid is prob gonna be in the hunt for DPOY every year of his prime.

embiid gonna have to pull it together a lil bit if he ever wants to approach his potential

PLEASE Don’t take my mans out of context because ysll know y’all LOVE to do that. 🙄 pic.twitter.com/XZaa5bIc0T

i'd say he's just a bad interior defender, also his dreb% is worse than embiid's

slow feet

shams joined The Athletic, pretty big get for them

i finally caved and signed up for it with a 40% off promo.

I've really liked it but also my local favorite Wolves writer works for them now, but it's a nice app in terms of being easy to read... will probably depend on the quality of your local coverage, but I've been happy

they also got Jay Glazer and added a bunch of NFL ppl, must've got a new round of funding

is that jon krawczynski? he just did a nice wolves preview on dunc'd on.

Been loving the athletic for sure. Got that same promo a few months back.

Chriss and B Knight for Ryan Andersen and Danthony Melten okkkkk

what a strange trade by phoenix
