for anyone interested in watching 10+ minutes of nba stars practicing and interacting (KD and Russ seem cordial) here you go:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Gl9Z4uULhII think KD wants to play with Kyrie at some point. They are always heaping praise on eachother and they hang out a lot and Kyrie is obv gonna leave boston...

kd, kyrie. and butler to new york confirmed
― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Friday, 27 July 2018 00:35 (five years ago) link
would be a helluva lineup
― InfoWarriors (Spottie), Friday, 27 July 2018 00:36 (five years ago) link
sign and trade Kyrie for Porzingis
― EZ Snappin, Friday, 27 July 2018 00:43 (five years ago) link
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhh who says no
― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Friday, 27 July 2018 00:45 (five years ago) link
but porzingis isn't 6'8"
― A is for (Aimless), Friday, 27 July 2018 01:09 (five years ago) link
but he is like 8'6" and thats close enough
― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Friday, 27 July 2018 01:10 (five years ago) link
i'm terrified of porzingis not staying healthy
― call all destroyer, Friday, 27 July 2018 01:14 (five years ago) link
and *whispers* not being as good as people think he's going to be
― k3vin k., Friday, 27 July 2018 01:23 (five years ago) link
shhhhhhhhhhhh we want TRADES
― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Friday, 27 July 2018 01:26 (five years ago) link
xp yeah that too
― call all destroyer, Friday, 27 July 2018 01:29 (five years ago) link
porzingis is not very good yet compared to like kat or jokic
― ciderpress, Friday, 27 July 2018 02:15 (five years ago) link
given that he's through year 3 and has been injured it's reasonable to reduce his ceiling a decent amount.
― call all destroyer, Friday, 27 July 2018 02:30 (five years ago) link
I just want to see the Brown/Tatum/Hayward/Horford/Porzingis lineup
― EZ Snappin, Friday, 27 July 2018 02:32 (five years ago) link
btw there's been a ton of good stuff on espn classic this week, lotta 90s hardwood classics. i was watching game 6 of the '93 finals last night and marveling at barkley's skill level as a passer and his great touch around the basket.
― call all destroyer, Friday, 27 July 2018 02:32 (five years ago) link
too bad his brain has atrophied since then
― A is for (Aimless), Friday, 27 July 2018 03:07 (five years ago) link
yeah I feel like barkley doesn't get his due these days
― k3vin k., Friday, 27 July 2018 04:45 (five years ago) link
i think bc we got duncan and nowitzki and malone for PF competition and the whole recency bias thing. plus he's been a dickhead on tv for so long.
― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Friday, 27 July 2018 05:06 (five years ago) link
also maybe bc it's impossible to imagine a guy with barkley's shape/size playing in todays nba
― Clay, Friday, 27 July 2018 05:14 (five years ago) link
it's weird, he's listed as 6'6" but 6'4" is much more likely. feel like draymond is comparable as far as "how does this guy play this position so well"
― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Friday, 27 July 2018 05:39 (five years ago) link
for real, also weird that barkley doesnt like draymond, seems like a man after his own heart.
barkley was one of my three fav players during the jordan era.
― InfoWarriors (Spottie), Friday, 27 July 2018 06:08 (five years ago) link
I’ve met Charles. He’s 6’4”, tops
― EZ Snappin, Friday, 27 July 2018 06:45 (five years ago) link
I have made the draymond comparison before but it's more of a size and mindset thing, they were totally different players. but both so fun and unique
― k3vin k., Friday, 27 July 2018 15:03 (five years ago) link
wasn’t Barkley responsible for the 5 second back down rule ?
― (•̪●) (carne asada), Friday, 27 July 2018 15:18 (five years ago) link
no thats mark jackson
― micah, Friday, 27 July 2018 15:29 (five years ago) link
In the past month I've had a 20 yr old dude ask me if "that guy on the TNT show...was he any good when he played??" and seen some rando online trying to downplay MJ's titles because "the best guy on the Suns was Barkley?? that's who MJ had to go thru to win???". So yeah I think Chuck doesn't get his due now. Incredible basketball player. Amazed at his FG% during his prime while putting up those scoring numbers at 6'4".

Barkley was incredible at his peak, I always stan for the round mound as a player
He just had the bad luck of coinciding with the goat
― gritty tigger reboot (agent hibachi), Friday, 27 July 2018 16:05 (five years ago) link
I will watch the 93 playoff game when he drops 56 on the Warriors literally any time it’s on
― gritty tigger reboot (agent hibachi), Friday, 27 July 2018 16:07 (five years ago) link
and they hang out a lot and Kyrie is obv gonna leave boston...

Bruh can we get a full season with any of our free agents before people trade them
Do I need to start talking about whether klay will average 30 on the magic or hornets in two years to make it stop
― gritty tigger reboot (agent hibachi), Friday, 27 July 2018 16:09 (five years ago) link
Sorry not trying to make the a chuck thread but his highlight real is ridiculous

chuck had the misfortune of playing alongside MJ and karl malone who stole some PF thunder from him. and then by the time we had a chance to appreciate him, duncan and nowitzki came in.

capella 5/90 re-up

seems like a fair deal for both sides

better for the rockets obv but with non-unicorn centers making pennies out there it seems pretty good for him too
― InfoWarriors (Spottie), Friday, 27 July 2018 20:21 (five years ago) link
nvm the rockets won this one:
Shams Charania @ShamsCharaniaSources: Clint Capela’s deal to return to the Rockets is five years, $80M guaranteed — with $10M in incentives.

i know it's a risk to wait for unrestricted fa but from a pure dollars perspective capela blinked

agreed
― call all destroyer, Friday, 27 July 2018 22:46 (five years ago) link
After a certain number of millions, the fact it is guaranteed money is of greater value than the chance at more millions when weighed against injury or other factors beyond one's control.
― A is for (Aimless), Saturday, 28 July 2018 03:11 (five years ago) link
that makes me kinda bummed out that people don't remember Barkley as a great player
― The Desus & Mero Chain (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Saturday, 28 July 2018 13:38 (five years ago) link
in some ways he makes me think of lebron, super strong and athletic guys who are elite finishers with a lot of ball handling and passing ability. lol, imagine if chuck and been even an average 3pt shooter.

marcus thompson is reporting it so there must be something there
Marcus Thompson II of The Athletic provided more insight into the incident:"In what would be best told by the late great storyteller Charlie Murphy, the 'streets' turned out to be the swanky Delilah restaurant in West Hollywood on July 18. Both Green and Thompson were guests of LeBron for this ultra-exclusive affair—which prohibited phones and cameras. None of the attendees expected the on-the-court drama to flare back up in this setting."Which is why everyone was stunned when Thompson, according to sources, out of nowhere attacked Green."No argument. No squaring up. No taking it outside."'It was a sucker punch,' said one source who attended the party. 'But, to be honest, it wasn't really a punch. It was more like a shove.'"Thompson noted the pair had to be separated but eventually calmed down and co-existed the rest of the evening.

yeah I didn't understand that first rule until last year, and still don't understand it tbh, seems like you can really awkwardly stumble off your pivot foot and still be legal as long as you don't put it down
