Nuggets roster makes a lot of sense and if fully healthy they can win the title. At max health the clippers are probably the best team but what do we know about Kawhi rn?
― Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 15 October 2022 15:16 (one year ago) link
all else being equal i think i still like the bucks but a lot of teams in the mix this year should be pretty cool

hmm yeah interesting

if harden can regain some form they could be very good, dont even need him to be mvp level harden just not bad
― lag∞n, Saturday, 15 October 2022 16:13 (one year ago) link
harden-embiid pick and roll should by all rights be unstoppable
but he has so many bad habits things that only work when he is mvp level
― lag∞n, Saturday, 15 October 2022 16:14 (one year ago) link
i’ve cried tears of joy every time i’ve come across the phrase “if james harden” this offseason. we still haven’t learned!
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 15 October 2022 16:32 (one year ago) link
i mean im with you on this one but he was so bad last year if hes just in better shape and not injured ???
― lag∞n, Saturday, 15 October 2022 16:39 (one year ago) link
has anyone got a look at him is he still fat
the stuff about him being in shape and/or healthy is a red herring. the issue is that when he gets into the playoffs his brain shuts down. they could go 75-7 in the regular season and it wouldn’t matter.
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 15 October 2022 16:56 (one year ago) link
there was the one year when he had the other guy with playoff issues

Poole 4/140 extension
― Spottie, Saturday, 15 October 2022 18:31 (one year ago) link
that's a lot of cash. apparently $17m of it is non-guaranteed and some of that is "unlikely incentives"

Apparently the warriors luxury tax bill next season will be 400 million dollars? That seems like a lot. I would try to pay less than that

if 400 million dollars seems like a lot to you well maybe you're just not a true player

The owners started groaning about it last season. Idk kinda sad they drafted all these dudes and can’t hold onto them without massive penalties

Yet while this prospect of landing the Pacers’ Buddy Hield and/or center Myles Turner in a Westbrook-centric deal had loomed for months, there was a strong desire from some Lakers officials to see Westbrook play in Ham’s system before making that sort of monumental decision.

Outstanding debut for 17-year old Aday Mara in the Spanish @ACBCOM. 8 points, 4 rebounds in 19 minutes against Euroleague team Baskonia. The skilled 7'3 center with a 7'6 wingspan is one of the most promising prospects in Europe. pic.twitter.com/gxPSMFwONp— Jonathan Givony (@DraftExpress) October 17, 2022

Steve Ballmer has wanted to put Clippers games on a streaming service for years. Now he has one, ClipperVision, and 74 of the team’s 82 games will be broadcast there. I watched a test broadcast.“This is our channel,” he said. https://t.co/b1FwoPwqYU— Andrew Greif (@AndrewGreif) October 17, 2022
