New York known for being a safe space where you can just play and not have to bother with media or fans.

the nets are a pretty safe space lol. the harden shit took up approximately zero media oxygen in the city

yeah if he got traded to the knicks it would be the biggest circus in the NBA east of hollywood but in brooklyn….. nah

Patty Mills knows how to talk to the media w/o giving anything away.

the Nets don't have fans it's the perfect spot for Simmons

the early TNT game tonight is nets vs. wizards

KD just sleepwalked through that interview, but why not? He's got his ring already. It's all gravy from here on out.

lmaaaao the end of this draft

this has got to be the greatest trade of alltime, two stars moving between contenders midseason with all sorts of personal animosity and shiftiness involved, a gift truly

otm

yes

lol what is kd wearing for this

Sixers championship v. Getting to watch Philly fans punk Simmons for 4 games and Sixers win, but Sixers don't win a championship - this is an existential Philly question.

I would be lying if I wasn't thinking, "Let's watch this One-Ply Lebron fold on national tv."

i think this might be the greatest trade in history measured in messy drama

also v proud of my spurs getting into the asset management game. decent haul of picks without losing much of their core rotation. white will be good for the c's, he and smart will make people want to **** themselves with their defense

Harden was picked last for the All Star reserves for Team LeBron and Charles Barkley starts making fun of him that his injury is all healed up now that he is traded lol

Durant and LeBron laughing was priceless pic.twitter.com/NsxMVdtMsI

Yeah this trade rules and if indeed we do get that playoff series this may be the best season for NBA drama ever

white will be good for the c's, he and smart will make people want to **** themselves with their defense

celtics defense has been ridiculous for a while, adding white and theis while losing shroder should be pretty sick, celtics doubling down on two bigs lineups today too, interesting choice in this day and age, tbf its really been working for them their starting five has been humming, and i guess they can still roll some small lineups out there if need be

Nets made out like bandits!

what a day to be away at a family function all day!

morey giving up two picks and a good player to make this trade happen is hilarious.

d. white is a great guy for the celtics to get. cost wasn't insane and he gives them a lot of what they need. i just never imagined he'd be available tbh.

NBC Sports Philadelphia was the only place not shitting on James Harden today. pic.twitter.com/U9BysJIqID

brutal

damn

lol braggin about 33.2% from three just because it's higher than NaN

Now do FT%.

Luka has 25 points in the first 10 minutes

getting his shots up before dinwiddie gets to town

i do think it's funny that sixers fans spent a whole year acting aggrieved over simmons quitting on the team and now have to root for james harden after he quit on team number 2. the moralist sixers fan is no more

have a feeling it wont stop them

Thank you for everything, @JHarden13 pic.twitter.com/KJm506kcw8

“…and for that, i thank them.”

lol the guy who asked the question really got inside his head a very sneaky guy you can tell

tyrese what drake songs do you think youll be listening to help you process this betrayal

i'm hazy on the details but did tyrese dodge a couple workouts with other teams in that part of the draft? maybe that's what he meant. still, bad idea.

just settling in here for suns-bucks and cp3 has already made a god-tier bounce pass assist for an easy dunk

man i love the nba

the nba is good, good match up, finals rematch and perhaps... a finals preview

cant wait 4 the offs, its gonna be a barnburner (please do not actually burn the barn)

east is stacked west headed towards an epic suns v dubs finals

these teams need to slow it down a bit wow

theyre all hyped up!

Suns playing like they've been waiting for this since Game 6 ended

there are a lot of cool basketball players in the NBA today
