Goran is brilliant. Totally underrated and brings a load of energy. Great win for Heat last night

Good on Jimmy. I still think its over but 
all the same.
jonattonyeah the worst. He hangs around Philly hard, and no one is really sure why. His recent thing is plugging Philly eateries like you see here. All related to some grift, I am sure.
God fucking damn it

Reckon I saw that one coming . The Heat were brilliant to do what they did though. The Erik Spoelstra post game presser is hard to watch as I really think heās an amazing coach to get them there with a team of rookies and journeymen.
Durant shouldāve signed wit the Heat. That team is stacked for the next few years. With a top tier coach.
Not sure if eating horse dung should be the benchmark for ācelebrationā but, hay.
zackster Love Lowry. Pure Philly dude.
Any guy willing to put his body on the line as many times as he does to draw a charge and force a turnover from the offence is my kind of player. Heās tough as nails.
Iām not an NBA player by any means (duh), but Iāve played the game my entire life and taken a few charges in my time and they almost always hurt like hell.
Also, the Lakers and LeBron winnning yet another title is just soā¦ Dull.
I know Iāve said it already, but I am really genuinely curious to see what moves the Raps make in the offseason. Do we go and rebuild or try and sign up another superstar? If we get Masai back at GM, he always seems to pull of some mammoth trades or tricks in underrated players that everyone else has passed on.
Thereās no superstar available via free agency. AD isnāt leaving the Lakers. Ingram is restricted. The rest are run of the mill (including VanVleet). I donāt see many being on the trading block either. Wiz will run it back with Beal and Wall again just to see if it works. Joel and Ben have a new coach who will want to give it a try. Giannis, maybe, but Iād put the Heat and the Warriors ahead of the Raps in assets and situation.
jonattonyeah exciting NBA SUPERSTAR Al Horford may be available for the right price!
LOL yeah and Tobias Harris might be availableā¦$40,000,000 for that dude in 2023-24. Brutal.
jonattonyeah unfortunately I think Doc is keen on Tobi. They had a successful past, so in the scheme of things I can deal, especially if Horford is shown the door.
Heās not a bad player. I just canāt fathom a world where you pay him a third of the cap. But maybe you can do what the Warriors are doing with Wiggins, where his big-ass contract is helpful to salary match in a trade for a disgruntled star. I think Harris is better than Wiggins, but still think some idiot new GM could be enticed by Wiggins pedigree as a number one overall pick with loads of hype and 20 ppg.
Horford looks washed. Maybe dump him ($28M) to the Clippers in a sign and trade for Lou Williams ($9M) and Harrell ($15M?) or something. At least youād be out from Williams next year. Clippers could use an adult as well.

Elton Brand is the current Sixers GM, and so far he has sucked.

Thatās kind of my fear. I donāt know what the Raps are going to do because everyone that contributed to the championship win last year is up for contract renewals and thereās not much out there. I know theyāre chasing Giannis, and frankly I think Toronto would be a better place for him overall (thereās tonnes of Greeks living in Toronto) culturally and winning-wise, but I also know heās a very loyal player and heās openly stated he doesnāt want to leave Milwaukee.
I think the Raps had all of the right pieces this year, but in the bubble they just looked tired and half thereā¦ Like they more or less had won their championship already and were missing their families. Lowry said as much when they lost to the Celtics. If the season had continued uninterrupted I believe it would have been a bit of a different story, but coulda, shoulda, woulda isnāt going to get you anywhere in life or sports.
Personally Iād like to see them perhaps look to Europe and find someone whoās underrated by scouts here, or go after a younger player thatās really starting to shine like Jamal Murray.
I honestly think Van Vleet will be an allstar point guard at some point in his career. His numbers are going up each year and heās been pretty clutch at the right moments. Iām not sure it would be wise to deal him, but Iām not a GM. Itās hard to believe only a few years ago he was playing in the G League.
loopdokter thereās tonnes of Greeks living in Toronto
Sounds like Smallman might be your next big signing.
