Trying to decide if this will be more like..... ....the Armon Gilliam/Kurt Rambis trade (one underachiever for a better-fitting part) ....the Larry Nance/Kevin Johnson trade (one star player for a bunch of valuable parts) ....the Dennis Johnson/Rick Robey trade (selling low and being very disappoin...

It’s pretty impressive how pessimistic you can be about just about everyone

Jeremy was in Denial most of the summer. Anger might take a while to get past, too.

I think Grayson Allen might be better than I had realized. He’s coming off a season where he started and played real rotational minutes (27+ per game) for the team with the best record in the NBA. He’s a 50% 2-pt, 40% 3-pt, 90% free throw shooter, albeit on low volume other than 3-pt shots; he alrea...

https://youtu.be/fl6krm7PveM?si=Mc9zTGB-mIwAolfS Overblown YouTube title notwithstanding, I really enjoyed watching that clip. Just two intelligent guys talking about their craft and their particular specialization within it, with no shouting or overheated bullshit. It’s a little hard to believe th...

Y’all have such Hayton blinders on. He will be Portland’s leading scorer and leading rebounder this year. You wanna put a bet on that? I don’t care about the rebounding, he better be the leading rebounder, he’s their center, but on the scoring? Absolutely. They just traded arguably the number one p...

I don't wish ill on DA but I hope the Blazers win 25 games while playing shitty, disorganized basketball under Billups so DA gets a full view of how good he had it here. But it's more likely he's happy being the focus of the offense, puts up 24 and 8 with no accountability from Billups and tells ev...

Thing is, we know Little can play. Camara is still a question mark at this level, tho I was cautiously optimistic about him. He and Little would've been redundant. For the Bucks, they take a step back defensively as Jrue was a big time perimeter defender. Dame is lightyears ahead in terms of offens...

Id do a Ayton for Nurk/1 year OG rental. Book-Beal-OG-KD lineup when healthy, I just don’t know who beats that. OGW? She beat us every time during the Colangelo era (including the BC era). During the Sarver era, she went away. Her interference was no longer needed since the franchise was adequately...

Let's not forget our miraculous good fortune in change of ownership. I am so grateful. https://twitter.com/DaveKingNBA/status/1705595365679116685?s=20 Points out how there are billionaires, and then there are guys with more money than God. Ballmer's listed at 78 billion - the next nine owners (if y...

I don't have anything to add to anything, I just want to be present for the miracle that is the 100th page of this seemingly unkillable comment thread.

Repeat the above, substitute "150th" in the appropriate spot. Thanks.

0% Surprised.

I would even say, "working as intended". It was always essentially a fancy pump-and-dump scam, with a veneer of technological mumbo-jumbo over the top.

I just watched S1 E3 which shows the origin stories of Riley's post basketball career and it's pretty funny how they portray him. Big ol' disheveled hair and giant mustache which is funny in itself knowing the slicked back persona he becomes later on. Also, liked a little detail where they showed h...

You all need your Suns fan membership cards revoked. I found it very educational in a historical sense and entertaining as a show. I wasn’t watching it because I was a fan of the Lakers. My second favorite team is whomever is playing the Lakers. I wasn’t worried about being converted to being a Lak...

When does the season start?

Soon, less than 60 pages to go.

In recent years Dwight weird behaviour has overshadowed his "playing career" I know there are some who say he should have been in the Top 75 When he says/do stuff it usually comes with an eye roll but I decided to give this some thought https://twitter.com/LegionHoops/status/1699808037593...

Yea Milwaukee's on the other side of the mountain unless they reload in a hurry. Giannis knows it. They peaked with the title and are on the decline. They may still be competitive this year but they're not heading upwards. If he asks out, I have the Knicks as his destination. Big market, tradeable ...

I'm ready to give JaVale a 3 yr extension and roll with him, Stix and Frank!

Confirmed: ShelC is Mark Cuban.

Congrats to the Bahamas team (and the Suns players on it), who now advance to a Qualifying Tournament next July with a chance to go on and play in Paris at the next Olympic Games. Would be very cool to see that happen. And since we're in the Ayton thread (how does this thing keep going on??) I'll po...

I'm in Southern Orange County, CA - within the original projected path of the storm, although more recent data make it look like it'll pass off to the East of where I live. We've had steady rain all day but nothing too concerning yet. Have to see how it ramps up as the storm gets closer. Didn't feel...

That's a pretty good schedule. It's nice that the long East coast trip doesn't have any back-to-backs, but going Miami-Brooklyn-Atlanta-Washington is kinda rough. Facing both LAC and MIN twice in the last two weeks could be interesting. Both of the Suns games in LA against the Clips are back-to-bac...
