Dwyane Wade always looks to me like he has done a lot of drugs. And/or a lot of drinking.

I hate when players try to tell you how good they were as a player at another player's expense.
Hey Pierce - you were all NBA 2nd team 1x, and 3rd team 3x. Wade? 1st team 2x, 2nd team 3x, 3rd team 2x. I don't know how that makes you better than Wade.

Pierce was a good player longer than wade, but Wade’s peak was definitely higher.

I guess I have no patience for talking heads who are there to say crazy shit.
I guess we have Bill Walton to thank for this.....

Culver is Caris Levert to me. I'm not enamored.

Culver will have to do a lot to become LeVert. LeVert has always been a better shooter and athlete, only injuries have stunted his progress.

I'm not a fan of either guy in the lottery. I don't think they'll ever be good enough to be starters on a contending team.

He's trying to put a good face on everything, but I think he's fed up with the way the season played out.
My guess is LeBron is part of that frustration.
Window is open again ... blue skies ahead?
Re: Around the League: Week 26 4/8-4/10
Magic was like "I want to tweet and tamper but can't do that as an exec. Oh, and you guys are the first ones I'm telling about all of this."
Re: Around the League: Week 26 4/8-4/10
I think he just didn't want the rigor of doing the hard parts of that job. I would bet that he enjoys the fun parts, such as wining and dining prospective free agents and going to practices and games and such things. But scouting and watching game tape and looking at spreadsheets of analytics data? Nah.
Re: Around the League: Week 26 4/8-4/10
There were some ridiculous stat lines tonight, including Grayson Allen going for 40-7-4 and Anfernee Simons going for 37-6-9.

It’s what happens pretty much every year on the last night of regular season ball. Hence the Archie Goodwin game or the Alec Peters game. And I guess now, the Jamal Crawford game.
