Miz's level of anger over frank the tank is outstanding

Lakers super confident they are getting someone if they passed Okafor.

ayyyyyyyy dying

I'm all in on the Zinger, sad he ended up on the Knicks. same with Russell and the Lakers

also Hawks trading 19 for Tim Hardaway Jr. wtf. that's no fun

[kisada]

yeah kinda annoyed russell ended up with lakers lol

not sure what hawks were doing this draft. i think a lot of other people felt the same.

[Moss]

well I'm guessing it's insurance/preparation for Carroll leaving. Hardaway can come in and play right away, compared to a rookie in that range that would probably be buried on the bench. The problem is Hardaway isn't particularly good. Hawks think he'll be much better in our system but I'm skeptical.

[Andalusian girls]

i know he's young and was in a bad situation but Hardaway is one of the worst players i've ever seen get minutes

[Moss]

ugh. I feared this was the case. he ranked fucking 94 out of 100 in defensive efficiency iirc sooooooo idk

maybe our front office read the stats in reverse?

Never change Kobe.

LeBron has notified the Cavs that he's opting out of his contract

[tyven]

saw earlier that Love notified Cavs he is returning so I imagine it is the same for LeBronald

[Moss]

dont think there's any question LeBron will return. coming back to all this fanfare then bailing again after one attempt at the title? he would be vilified until the end of days.

[Boyiee]

Everyone is just doing yesrlys until the salary cap gets raised and they can all make a fortune off it. People would be stupid to sign a multi year deal right now.

[Moss]

well that isn't entirely true. someone like Demarre Carroll could get a max offer now, with teams knowing it won't be a true max when then cap expands. and as somebody that has yet to have his true NBA payday yet (and had a serious knee injury scare in the playoffs) he would be wise to take the security of a multi-year deal

[kisada]

for the big time guys taking the 1 yr deal is smart.

for the smaller time guys like carroll and middleton, taking the max now is also smart. the teams will want to lock their value into place at this exact moment and they will also want to get paid. good deals for both sides.
