    I agree if there’s a team that needs to put their chips in it’s them.

    I'd offer the Flippers Jake for Dunn.

    I can’t get with this NBA. Now we’re talking about History of a player Artest. So what. Rules are rules. We’re talking about intention. Who knows what Ron’s intention was. He didn’t even see him.

    Wemby was looking at him. Wound up. It’s a suspension. It’s a violent play. He could’ve took his head off.

    Wemby is “7,6” figuarelitively could’ve took his head off. He could’ve knocked him out. He’s a big man. That’s a violent play.

    Horry got Stoudamire suspended and won a series for them.

    We gotta stop looking the other way with this team. It’s a game and he needs to learn from that.

    And now the tea.

    I think it’s simple The clippers will trade Kawhi to the Warriors for Jimmy Butler and the number 11 pick. Makes too much sense to fit Curry’s Kerr and Draymonds timeline.

    would we be able to make salaries work Vando 2031 pick to the Clippers for Jimmy Butler.

    Butler’s gonna be back next year right? I bet GSW are going to try to put the retirement village together.

    Curry
    Butler
    Kawhi
    Green
    Horford

    They’ll trade anything young they have and be in the wilderness for a decade afterwards.

    I’d rather have Jimmy Butler at 42 million than overpay for a mid guy.

    Fellas ladies. Let’s really talk about it.

    This league is hypocritcial. Draymond Green was suspended and it cost his team a championship.

    I pointed out other instances.

    With LeBron that’s the glaring one it shifted a series.

    What’s the difference. Post the tape. Draymond Wemby?. Whats worse? Why should he be able to play???

    Or we could use the Klutch connection and get Bradley Beal to opt out, and get a 5M offer from us in free agency. Beal and Dunn would be a mini coup.

    I can’t take it. I am relishing in this for the Pacers. lol. This is the team that would f*** us. Repeatedly refused to deal with us. All the way back to the Paul George stuff with Magic. Wink wink.

    I hate them. So it’s funny. Seeing the Clippers up there with pick number 5 and the Pacers nowhere to be found in the lottery.

    with all the talk they’ll get a top 5 top 4 pick in a loaded draft. They said they’d like Boozer and take him number 1 add that to Halliburton. It’s comedy. Now they don’t get s***..
    They got cocky. All that tanking for nothing. All those games lost. Pacers pacers fans how’s that grab ya???????

    Well they have Zubac...and rest assured..he'll still be whining about Magic trading him, at some point next season!

    On another note..the Jazz got the 2nd pick..perhaps Kessler's asking price drops to one first round pick. They can draft the best big they like in the draft.

    The Jazz ain’t slick no pun intended. They talking about they’d trade back. Theyre ecstatic. They’ll draft Daryn Peterson and he slots perfectly into their starting lineup.

    they get the best pure scorer in the draft.

    pg George
    sg Peterson
    Sf Bailey
    PF Markanan
    C Jackson

    bench Kessler. They can now trade Kessler.

    Austin /Vando for Kyrie and a 2nd rd pick? Austin wouldn't get the max so his salary could be aggregated.

    I think their idea is to play Mark at the 3 and JJJ at the 4. Bailey comes off the bench.

    There's no top 5 pick that is a center, so I don't see where this makes Kessler available. JJJ was very good with Edey, so I imagine he will be as well with Kessler. It's also a huge lineup that can really make things hard for other teams.

    Jazz will be a very good team moving forward

    I don't agree much with Irwin, but he had a pretty decent Live yesterday talking about Lakers, Reaves, etc. I'd recommend watching that part. Good questions. Definitely going to be a challenging offseason.

    I don’t care if he was suspended or not, but it’s clear bias for ratings that he wasn’t, because dude wound up with an angry look on his face. Most anyone else and he’s suspended, he elbowed a guy in the face, not far off the throat




    Also here we go again
