Damn!

Richard Jefferson annoys the crap out of me...but he's right, Pierce's (and KG's) douche level is in another stratosphere.

OK, first, let me say this; Paul Pierce is one of the best players of the generation. Hundred percent better than me. Comparing me to him is like comparing him to D Wade, they are different stratospheres, we don't even do that.

Jefferson likes giving a lot of crap but seems to have a very thin skin here when he's getting it. His career and post season stats are very modest so i don't know why he's talking about the Celtics when they were mediocre. It's not like he was a key reason

I followed some of the Warriors game yesterday. Even if they get back Wiggin (been away from the team for personal reasons for a long time), they’re small and aging. Curry/Klay/Green + Poole.

They blew a huge opportunity to reload with that #2 overall pick used for wiseman (Yeah, we know there were big fans here of his tree trunk thighs).

Iggy looked great and physically shredded vs the Suns, then broke his wrist. Old players can’t play defense without injury and can’t take a fall.

That one I’m on top of but thought for shore Iggy was on permanent banana boat status.

From a draft perspective they basically missed on LeMelo, Hali, IQ and Maxey….amazing now really good wings or bigs in that entire draft unless I missed something but they definitely could have netted something nice in trade.

Great response!

Kyrie will go where he feels loved and free to be himself. Dallas owner is someone that fits what kyrie is looking for. He's free to be himself.

Franz Wagner Would have been perfect for them.

Averages out to $17 per. Could help to determine Josh Hart.

And to think last year people were crying because we traded for Kemba instead of signing Lonzo

We cry reading your inaccurate empty posts.
Kemba was signed as a free agent to knicks.
you act smug like you knew Lonzo knee would break down the next two seasons.

Kemba was a low risk move we could move on from. That’s why a bunch of us advocated for it over Lonzo. I had to deal with a year of people having internet meltdowns because we didn’t sign Lonzo and Derozan. Yeah, I’m gonna gloat.

Not for nothing, we agree on some things Nalod, but this is why I never rush to immediate judgment on ANY move.

I've been told outright that this is somehow the boring stance.

But it's very often the right one.

So it's got that going for it ... which is nice.
