Spurs shouldn't care who they send him to as long as they maximize their value. The west is brutal regardless of whether Kawhi joins Lebron on the Lakers or not. The Least is a bigger joke now than ever. At least the top 7 players in the league are in the West right now, and once you get...

Lakers should slow play it and just make sure they have cap space for next year when Kawhi, Klay, and other FA's will be available. If they can get Kawhi for a reasonable cost before then they'll do it. Unless there was some understanding with Lebron when he signed that they'd do whatever they...

I'd bet Lebron DID text / call KD about it. It'd be the best move Lebron could make to increase his chances at another title. Saw this coming months ago when Lebron picked KD #1 for the all star game. Good thing KD seems to not be down with that idea. Why help Lebron get more rings when KD...

They could just add a more frequent provision that allows removal of bad contracts from counting against the cap.

You don't even need a hard cap, just removing max contracts would do it. Its easy for players like KD or Lebron to pass up an extra 5-10 million a year. But passing up on an extra 20-40 million per year or more is a whole different ballgame. Shit would balance out in a hurry and it would...

Boston has more risk though of him not re-signing. They will test the waters but not sure how much they'd actually give up in the end. If I were them I do like Hayward (for the money and as a Kawhi replacement) + Rozier + picks. And then maybe Jaylen Brown as additional sweetener if...

Sounds more like an in combat pacify / fading memories type thing? Not charm, but still nice.

Usually. Unless Lebron instigates shit then cries to the league to get what you have suspended cause he's about to go down 4-1. And until JR Smith starts intentionally diving into dude's legs (worked on Bogut in '16, didn't quite seem to work for him on Klay this year.) It's a byproduct of...

To be honest Klay and Curry got outplayed tonight by Love and Rodney Hood. The Cavs lost because Lebron was significantly outplayed tonight at home by Durant, for the second year in a row in a must win finals game. That's it, no excuses for Lebron.

Rockets gonna have a tough time just keeping all the pieces they have together. Many guys expiring, Capela ready to get a big raise. Meanwhile still on the hook for Ryan Anderson getting 20 mill per the next few. Don't know how they'd fit Lebron in even if he wanted to go there, but I can't...

It really is a huge difference.. that said, if the Rockets find a way to win tomorrow (which i'm hoping to hell they don't), and if CP3 couldn't play in the finals, who knows. Rockets would be favored due to Harden having more talent around him, but in that situation its a one star vs. one star...

If Quinn Cook hits that shot everybody is calling Kerr a genius. He seems to have a soft spot for small shooters such as he was that can't do much else, especially underdogs. Last year it was Ian Clark, and there were a lot of times where I really questioned Kerr playing him, but by the end of...

Steph missed a lot of games due to injury, can understand him not getting a lot of votes. Westbrook had nearly the same stats as last year but he didn't get any more wins with Paul George added. Voters gave him the triple double award last year, but this year his stats needed to mean more in...

Your history is way off on this. Mark Jackson didn't draft Curry, Don Nelson did. The last gift to the franchise of an offensive genius. Mark Jackson never drafted anybody because his opinion wasn't given that much weight on those decisions. Mark Jackson had Klay and Draymond. The team...

So apparently, exactly one would have hoped, Bezos is a big fan of the books and was pissed Amazon didn't get the show in the first place. Talks in progress, sounds promising! 'The Expanse' Revived for Season 4 at Amazon damn, beaten by two minutes!

It had to be tame though. Delores was having one last moment to remember and enjoy the wholesome relationship she was programmed to have with Teddy. It was "making love," not fucking. And afterwards, that's when she really fucked Teddy, or chucked Teddy. Not a lot worthy of note in this...

Can't imagine Phoenix wanting to do that. With the #1 pick they have their choice of a couple guys that I think will be as good as Towns. The big difference is the guy you get with the pick will be under the first year of their rookie contract. Towns is a restricted FA next offseason, same...

I'd still bet on both Porter and Bagley being better NBA players than Doncic. It's not going to happen, but if I were the Suns I'd take a long look at Bagley for the #1 slot. He's the most sure thing in the draft imo, will potentially be the ideal crunch time 5 in the modern game when he fills...

Lol @ "thanks to Paul Gasol" (Btw its Pau, not Paul.) You have to be truly retarded to think Gasol was a bigger part of those championships than Kobe. Which we already knew you were, but hey, thanks for confirming it pretty much every time you post.

I don't feel for Paul at all. Just comes off as an entitled little beach too often. Detest his dirty little plays like his favorite of jumping in front of guys and stopping. I probably give Harden an edge in terms of how unlikeable he is, but its close. It was interesting before this series...

Whats their own medicine? Growing a great team in as organic a way as you can, after 30 years of shit to mediocrity, and finally landing a big FA for once in their history? Cry me a fucking river. Landing Duncan the year Robinson went down was one of the greatest gifts any franchise ever had...

Why would Green be their primary option vs Jordan? Klay would guard Jordan, Iguodala would guard Jordan, Durant would probably guard him at times. Green rarely would. The Bulls weren't THAT physical. Jordan and Pippen were very physical wings, Rodman was physical, and you can throw Ron...

Ford had motive to kill the rest. They were either doing him wrong or part of a plot to do him wrong. Elsie was not. Theresa was trying to take control of the park away from him. Everybody in the lab was part of a plot to use his own technology in a way that he had never signed on for...

Great episode. Every step of the way you knew what was coming but it was fascinating to see it happen. They were telegraphing that as William's daughter throughout, interesting that they didn't make us wait longer to see their meeting up. Its the kind of carrot writers usually dangle in front...

Well Amazon just spent $250 million for the right to spend over $100 million per season on a LoTR show. Considering Amazon's ambition for first party content and their lack of a good sci fi show, I'd say they're the most likely buyer. Hopefully they have good data on the US streaming numbers...

Its a refusal to admit that that roster has a ceiling of the ECF. But since the major pieces are all still under contract next year, Casey obviously the easiest piece of the puzzle to switch out. Most the deals expire after next season, so that's when they can really blow it up if they want...

Yes, you're a mouth breathing crack smoker unless you like a movie whose premise is littered with nonsense. No opinions are allowed here, this movie is objectively great. a_skeleton_00 has spoken.

You forgot to put the necessary qualifiers on his wins. 13 - Bailed out by Ray Allen and the Spurs inability to secure one rebound for a title, else he would have lost in 6. 16 - Bailed out by the NBA league office after he whined to them, else he would have lost in 5. Lebron is much closer...

Yep, no way.

Just saw this pile of shit and feel the same way. I want the 2.5 hours back that it took me to drive back and forth to the theater and watch this inbetween. I agree that its a well made movie but everything about it is so implausible I just couldn't buy in. When there really are a thousand+...

The shot wasn't easy but going for the bank made it pretty reasonable. That is the area on the floor guys practice banking from due to the angle. Fading away made it more difficult, but once you get to that spot you just get a feel for the way you need to get it off the glass. Not to take...

Of course he was trying to bank that.

I saw a video with somebody speculating about it taking place inside the soul stone too, but if so why? My minor gripe with the movie was the lack of Hulk, and only seeing him get beat down when we did see him. But I'm sure they'll make the wait worthwhile when part 4 comes up, Hulk power up...

The thing is, nothing they could have traded the pick for mid season would have made Lebron want to stay. They could have traded for a player that might have helped a little, but likely not enough to move the needle on their title odds this year. Small chance for them to win the title either...

Crazy awesome episode, especially now that we know Yakushin owned Daybreak. Carrie: Yakushin has $300 million in US banks. We freeze it, we squeeze his balls and he'll help us. Saul: I dunno Carrie, $300 million might not hurt these corrupt Ruskies that much. Carrie: Saul, he owns...

Jinyang's storyline as the villain is too real. "new new internet" And Silicon Valley is not "against" Christian people. I don't think a vocal minority from a protest is indicative of much. I'd guess there is a lack of respect for it in tech circles on the whole, but there are obviously...

Of all those you take Spurs under easily unless all the Kawhi drama has just been faked in order to position themselves and him for a shot at revenge in rounds 1.

"Finished 4th" this year doesn't mean what it usually does. They're a good team but it was legitimately in question as recently as a week ago whether they'd even make the playoffs at all. Finished 4th, could have finished anywhere from 4-9 depending how things went the past few days. Whose to...
