every season silver retroactively rescinds techs to keep guys (luka and draymond) from being auto suspended after accruing too many techs. he is prob the most suspension averse commissioner in modern sports history

Dray prob 3 games. 5 if silvers feeling frosty.

yeah smthg like that prob

Not sure a tweet from April 13, 2014 is relevant here.

Draymond has to be the first person in NBA history to strangle an opponent when the score was still 0-0.

Gobert on Draymond: “Every time Steph doesn’t play, he doesn’t want to play without his guy Steph so he does anything he can to get ejected.”

— Jon Krawczynski (@JonKrawczynski) November 15, 2023

there’s something quite poetic about gobert having the revelation that draymond is going to try and get ejected during the game and then a mere hours later draymond is seized onto his neck like a rabid dog

Gobert called Green’s choke “clown behavior.” Said he knew as soon as he heard Steph was out, he knew Draymond was going to try to get ejected

he was launching threes really confidently in the playoffs last year which seems to have carried over so far this year if he can be a consistent threat from deep thats huge

was a real sign of maturity for the wolves last night that they didn't let the fracas distract them from the larger goal of the team

lolclippers btw things seem to be going well there

sad they actually played their first good game with harden last night but it came against the nuggets so they still lost, shouldve picked a different game to play good

was watching highlights of Jovic beating them up in the paint late game with Zubac on the bench, seemed odd imo

I think I would rather the Sixers keep Harris and trade for Anunoby instead of Siakam.

suspect the raptors are less inclined to move og as hes younger and therefor more on barnes timeline, and he prob has more value around the league so the sixers likely dont have what it takes to get him even if the raptors would move him, they might not have what it takes to get siakim but the fact that hes older and is due a huge deal makes it maybe possible, also the fact that hes been telling everyone hes doesnt want to leave toronto (obvs because he can get the super max if he stays tho hes not saying that) could depress his value enough that the get him for the harden pupu platter of one bad pick one good pick and a dece swap + harris expiring

which would be a home run for the sixers IMHO i hope it does not happen LOL

dont think siakam is right for the sixers

idk they have a star guard and a star center why not add a star wing, i think hed be great flying around on both sides of the ball and so forth

Allen Iverson, the guy we were talking about?

Sorry, I had David Thompson on the brain lol

I'm not salty at all. I was fortunate enough to see Iverson play while he was on the Sixers, he was one of the most talented, driven players I have ever seen. My only point was that his off-court life seemed to be at complete odds with long-term success, especially once his playing career was over.

i love the idea of siakam as a third option but i feel like they'd have to have a really miserable season to trade either of those guys, which doesn't look like it's on the horizon atm but you never know. masai not trading lowry or FVV before their FAs remains weird but i haven't read/heard anything along the lines of "he feels like he screwed those up and might change his strategy"

yeah i have no idea if the raps are going to make a trade but it is at least a reasonable spot to do one, especially with siakim due to him being older than their "core" and being up for a too big new deal

apparently a bunch of guys out for tonights battle for atlantic division supremacy, zinger jaylen embiid, sucks

his off-court life seemed to be at complete odds with long-term success

Yeah there's no doubt that he left a lot of production on the table

he was a very small guy who took a big beating falling off in his early 30s is pretty standard especially for back then

kemba walkers out of the league rn for instance

which is not to say he prob wouldnt have been better off eating his spinach and so forth, but if you didnt know anything about his off court habits all things considered youd prob say he maxed out his talents

physiologically and prob psychologically iverson was an alien, remember some story of when he was in college the sports science department hooked him up to all the machines and had him run on the treadmill and he just never got tired lol

hmmm

oh no oubre

tobias is playing good this year and philly need all the shooting. siakam would be more of a sidegrade imo. he would make more sense for the pacers

would not want to be the team that maxes anunoby though jeez

i think i would happily be that team but i don't think i would want to trade 3 firsts (or whatever) for the privilege
