This mindset is so dumb. If you took an NBA player to Toronto and told him it was somewhere in America it would be days before they came to any sort of realization.

Nick Collison is starting at C for OKC tonight but McGary is going to play a bunch of minutes. What I'm saying is you should all watch the game tonight because McGary owns.

You just got two first round draft picks. You get to root extra hard against Miami too; hopefully they're still garbage.

Edit: Now I'm confused. The Suns had the Lakers pick?... and it's gone now? What?

What the gently caress is going on with Larry still? Milwaukee should be at 15 if they're going to waive him - Za, Henson, Martin, Ers, Dudley, G, Jabari, OJ, Khris, JOB, Bayless, Inglis + MCW, Plumlee, Ennis.

What am I missing? Are they going to keep Gutierrez too?

THe Lakers pick was from the Nash trade I believe. I guess we just extra hate IT so gave that with him in that big ol' trade

Someone of Isaiah Thomas's contract and stats over his career should not be traded as much and for so little like a filler deal. It's so sad.

Will the Sixer's ever stop tanking? I get that MCW isn't the best, but put him on a team where he isn't the only NBA quality player and he should excel. Surrounding all your young guys with awful talent isn't going to help them succeed.

The Knicks are becoming Cubs of the NBA. Shut down, buy out and trade their best three players.

RASHIBA WALLACE posted:

Here's a thought: Indiana is only two games out of 8th place. If they're able to grab the 8th seed (which is reasonably likely given Paul George's eventual return) and Atlanta doesn't collapse, we would see a repeat of last year's 1/8 matchup... except with the teams flipped. Has that ever happened before?

No, the closest I think was the Celtics and Knicks being 1 and 8 in 1988 and then the Knicks being 2 and Celtics 8 in 1989.

So in less than 2 years the Knicks have gotten rid of everyone on that division-winning team but Melo

That Patterson article was cool. But mostly because he's a great contributor to the Raps and jerked off Toronto.People in Toronto love it when NBAers come around on the city . And in contrast still hate players who didnt (gently caress Kendra Davis).

Yea I was mostly joking about the grudges people hold, most of them not even having to do with the cold.
Toronto can get cold as gently caress but I mean it's comparable to other East coast and mid-west American cities. (Boston, Chicago, Minnesota is worse, etc)

Also, Movie Majick how do you not have a hat? I have like 10 knowing I lose them. PM me your info and I'll send you one. Hell I'll get my mom to knit you one in whatever strange colours you want.
