no jeremy lamb tho hm

yeah weird, Lamb is better than 10-15 dudes on that list.

but Lamb will never be the Goat

did he who listed the lamb list thee?

hawks and blazers flipped evan turner and kent bazemore.

epic trade

It’s actually a low key great upgrade for the blazers

yeah baze is a cool player and they need defense. not sure why the hawks did this move.

both seem like good teammates. maybe they both just wanted to move on idk

someone on twitter speculating hawks just did baze a solid since it doesnt really matter to them

cool for baze sucks for turner who will be buried on the bench. im sure they hawks will buy him out at the buyout deadline tho

first time I read this one on my phone I thought it was kanter for baze and I didn’t get it, turner tho that’s a great flip

breaking news

yeah. the blazer management are like small stakes poker players who rarely get dealt better than an average hand, but who still manage to walk away with a small pile of chips at the end of the evening. they lose some. they win some. but on average they stay ahead. they aren't the only well-managed small-market team, but the spurs are the only one who have a clearly better track record.

the hurtful irony is that, when the blazers do get a #1 or #2 draft pick, they always end up eating their shoe.

the Rockets really do go out of their way to be unlikeable esp after Giannis' speech

Congrats to the new MVP, but we respectfully disagree.

Getting the band back together.

Restricted free agent Kristaps Porzingis and the Dallas Mavericks will meet when free agency opens on June 30 and the franchise plans to offer Porzingis a full five-year, $158 million maximum contract, league sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium.

god I hope he stays healthy for luka's sake

what if he goes to prison

NBA contracts all have a clause about "activities detrimental to the league", and most are likely have the classic "moral turpitude" escape hatch, too. So, at least the Mavericks would be able to free up his salary.

it's going to be incredibly hard to make that work imo

the drama potential is incredible

ok yeah

its destiny

for the vet min i guess he could come off the bench and provide some scoring for the second unit ... what could go wrong?

lebron will never make the finals again

Durant opted out

that doesn't mean he can't still sign a supermax with Golden State though, right?

He can but now he’s an unrestricted FA. I think gs can offer the most money

he was never going to pick up that option, at least that's the impression I got.

I still think he's leaving though, that's my hunch.

sources telling me the Lakers are going to pay Melo in hats to save cap space

was that a purposeful or accidental dad joke?
