    Porzingis to Dallas

    I think they could get there. Thomas, Ntilikina, Dennis Smith Jr, Knox, and Zion's cap figure are really close and if you need any more wiggle room you can get a third team involved.

    Porzingis to Dallas

    And if they land #1 overall this offseason, doesn't that instantly become the start of a crazy tempting package for New Orleans? Zion + Knox + DSJ and suddenly the Knicks could be looking at a lineup of Kyrie, Durant, and Davis.

    Porzingis to Dallas

    When I saw the news this morning that Porzingis was hoping to be dealt, I thoguht that made the Knicks the front runner on Davis. Porzingis and their first round pick would be a tough package to beat. It's really the only rumored Davis package that gives New Orleans the chance at two super...

    Zion train is coming our way

    Funny that people keep talking about his being a tight end, because I saw Antonio Gates play basketball a lot when he was at Kent State and that's basically exactly what he looked like.

    2018 NBA Finals

    There are 30 people from Oakland there right now. Everybody else is VCs and tech bros that paid 7k a ticket to get into a game that wasn't sold out .

    2018 NBA Finals

    Yup. It's like there are 20,000 Draymond Green's in that arena.

    2018 NBA Finals

    Shitty end to a great game. But at least Golden State fans, who didnt even sell out this game, will get to see a third championship in four years.

    Cavs shuffle the deck chairs

    Hill's going to look like Gary Payton on defense just because he's replacing IT, Rose, and Calderon.

    Cavs shuffle the deck chairs

    Well, I like Cleveland a lot more today than I did yesterday. For everybody in the East, it's basically just shuffling deck chairs anyhow, but if George Hill can be what he was pre-Sacramento, Rodney Hood improves by dint of a much lower usage rate/more open shots, and the team can develop some...

    2017-18 NBA Regular Season Game/Observation Thread

    There have been reports that IT led the criticisms of Love in that meeting.

    I suspect they feel like we're 4 games into the season.

    2017-18 NBA Regular Season Game/Observation Thread

    I mean, if you're overreacting to early results why not just go the full nine and put Markkanen and Dillon Brooks in the top 4?

    2017-18 NBA Regular Season Game/Observation Thread

    Simmons was a lot of fun to watch last night and really impressive. His ability to get into the lane at will created a ton of open looks for Covington. They're fun to watch, even if they're not all that good yet.

    Celtics Predictions

    I think .500ish is about right. I may well be underestimating just how bad the East is, I admit. Just eyeballing the schedule, there are a ton of games against the Bulls and Knicks of the world, so maybe 44-45 is closer to right than .500. Assuming Hayward comes back healthy next year, I...
