I'm doubting it. He couldn't get it done with Boogie before the injury. They were OK to good during the season. AD has to know that Zion will not be better than Boogie any time soon. No reason to stay.

Lopez was awesome last night and Kawhi was absolutely gassed in the 4th. Think this will be a great series, but Bucks have the best player in the East and every time Giannis drives the paint he's got shooters wide open.
Was thinking last night, this'll never happen, but imagine Zion sees NO get the #1 and decides "fuck this, I'll just go back to college for a year". Sounds like he was pretty bummed the Pels got that pick, and who can blame him.

NCAA won't let basketball or football players back into college after declaring for the pro draft. He is done playing college ball forever.
Somehow baseball gets around this, as kids get drafted right out of high school but are still able to go to college instead. I have no idea how that works.

Being drafted isn’t a disqualifying event. Hiring an agent is.
Never mind, that is wrong, it was changed by the NCAA in ‘09.

It's a shtick. I actually think its funny a lot of times. Plus he actually makes sense thru all the yelling.

Think people are really jumping the gun with AD for sure staying in NO. I still think it's unlikely. I think Zion, the addition of David Griffin, and the firing of Dell Demps all "help", but league consensus and first press releases from his camp are that he still wants out.
I also wonder with how great AD is, or is at least talent-wise, if he really realizes how hard it is to win in this league, and just really doesn't think he can do it without having something akin to an equal - and sadly for New Orleans, unless Zion immediately translates like Luka (which he very well might), they don't even have a full year to convince him Zion can also shoulder future load to some titles.
Ps. I have always been a little puzzled why AD's talent doesn't translate to more wins. I get NO is shitty and they haven't exactly given him respectable teams, but even then it seems like he should be able to carry more.

Funny, I thought Green really makes that offense "move" without Durant. Your instincts and...plans tell you to stick the Splash Brothers. Green picks you apart with the little things. Little extra pass here, layup there. That alley-oop was a perfect example of how good he plays within that offense.
Everyone commits hard on Curry with that pick and roll. Green just says "Oh...you must want me to lay this in".

There was a particular example of this that was really good but I can't find it. Curry coming fast off the screen holding his hands out for the ball and Green just sorta no-look bounce passed it to the roller for an easy bucket. Completely juked everyone, including myself watching from home.

I thought that was the funniest part about it. Typically he's yelling about his opinion being a fact which I hate regardless of whether it's him, Cowherd, Bayless or any of the other retards. Even Kornheiser is getting awful now as the years go by.
This is about his feelings as a Knicks fan which I think any sports fan can somewhat relate to.
