Mitchell is an All-NBA player and as such, he'll do what the cool kids befitting that status now do if they can't get where they want to immediately, which is take the money now, give the incumbent team an opportunity to reorient the team so that it fits better and in a few years when it fails to...

no timetable for return

I was just making the point that guard is the easiest position to get good players. With patience you will end up with a good one without having to overpay for an extremely expensive and flawed one.

There's reasons to believe each and every player I mentioned could get to free agency: Donovan Mitchell's future in Cleveland looks murky as he might not want to remain there long term and signing an extension gives him much less control over where he lands. Markkanen's max extension is less than...

Understood but I just ignore that kind of stuff.

No, he won't. He'll either extend (fellow fringe All-Stars such as Randle, Sabonis, Murray, Holiday have done so recently) or if the Jazz aren't all but certain he'll re-sign in free agency, he'll be traded to a team that's confident he will, like Anunoby, Siakam, etc. Only the Craptors (Van...

There's no way he makes it past the deadline without an extension or a trade, Ainge isn't that stupid. They'll either offer him the max or trade him, depending on their future plans. I'm sure Ainge would like to blow it up and start over, but Jazz never tanks. The only franchise in the league...

Seeing a generation of old stars getting smacked forcibly to the ground -- Harden, Westbrook, Curry, Durant, LeBron, all getting dumped hard this year.

Salaun - I'd be very surprised if the Spurs pick a player who is several years away from being able to contribute. They have a roster jam as it is and then six potential lottery picks in the next three years.

Opinions are like assholes.

No, but Haliburton may be the worst defender in the league and the whole Pacers team is pretty bad on that end. They may be already sticking them on a treadmill. I haven't looked at their pick assets, but how much better can they get from here? If Vassell can slot into more of a 3rd scoring...

Markkanen will likely make it to FA, just because of the nature of his current deal - he can’t extend for what he is worth, so he is best off waiting for FA. If he was extendable, he’d be my #1 trade target.

Cant even root against this guy, he is always out

I'm not an Embiid fan, but I don't see how he could receive criticism for this. He logged 43:58, including the entire 2nd half, on one leg, with Bell's palsy and despite being medically cleared, as always in the playoffs looks like he has no business playing and they fall apart with him off the...

I don't see how this would hurt the value of the Hawks picks. This would at best probably allow them to maintain. It's not so much a want as it is there's no practical reason not to or better alternative. He's more valuable to them (once projected MVP caliber ship has sailed, but All-NBA...

Shes not rare. and mothers in Russia, who complain, are not off-limits to assassination if they actually become a leader of a group that is organized and causes problems. The mothers are aware of this. As are the grandmas.

NY winning this. That was awful BB honestly. Knicks being 2nd in the West is freaky. It's Brunson and a bunch of guys. But you're not winning anything with Brunson as your top guy.

Oubre and Harris taking decisive threes, good job flopper. Most embarrassing MVP in NBA history. Noone else was such a playoffs underperformer without even trying. One (!!!) point in the fourth. Took out Robinson only to get locked up by Achiuwa and OG. Can't wait for G5, must see...

NY 90 - 89 PHI 3:59 in the 4th. We have a thriller.

Whoever made the Primo pick should just STFU and let somebody else do the picking for at least 5 years.

Ugh... if so I'd rather it not convey.

fuck Ukraine fuck Israel

Problem with McCollum is that his contract runs 2 more years at 33.3M and 30.7M, so he likely takes you out of '25 free agency (unless you have Zach Collins and Keldon going out in the same deal, for instance). For me that takes away the appeal for any deal that has the Spurs taking salary beyond...

NEW YORK (2-1) - PHILLY game 3 New York up 5, 8min to go in the 4th. If Knicks get this one, series might be over. With Milwaukee in pretty bad shape too (down 1-2 with Giannis and Dame ruled out for game 4), it should be a boulevard for Boston this year in the East.

lol nephew

Zion has not played so that was a Huge break for OKC

Look everyone wants to win a NBA championship but if it was so easy every one would have one. One thing in this playoffs has shown is that even teams with All Star players if you don't have a deep team and other very good players you are not getting close to a ring. So I would rather suck another...

This is still my favorite video clip of the war. Even in an authoritarian country, you can get change if enough people there are brave enough to take action. Sadly, this woman is a rare bird in Russia.
