So what happened (in the 2014 draft in which ESPN cameras were allowed into the draft room), and again – these guys didn’t want me to talk about this. I’d had another player who had tried out for us that I had liked, and that I had thought was great. And by the way, I’ll tell you, it was (Orlando Magic point guard) Elfrid Payton. But everybody else wanted another player – (Nik) Stauskas (now of the Philadelphia 76ers). And so they told me to say (Stauskas), and obviously I’m not going to say that I wanted Payton but they picked Stauskas. I made a big deal of all-for-one and one-for-all, so ‘Whatever you guys decide, I’m going to say yeah to Stauskas.’ That got put on camera, but what was I going to say, that ‘Hey, I don’t agree with their choice?’

Whenever I see articles about the lack of Bucks depth in the backcourt I get pissed. Drafted and traded Powell and Mccaw for nothing. gently caress. Hammonds is great at drafting but don't let the man trade. At least Kidd lost front office power after facilitating some of the latest garbage moves.

I remember Nash from Declan's description of him ("plays like a total loving dickhead").

It also sounds like the Rockets are hoping Gordon can be backup points guard. oy vey

76ers reserve center Nerlens Noel is scheduled to have surgery Monday at the Hospital of Special Surgery in New York to address an inflamed plica above his left knee, according to sources. Dr. Riley Williams will scope the area during a 10-minute procedure. Noel, who’s been sidelined since Oct. 6, is expected to be sidelined an additional three to five weeks. However, he will get a more accurate timeline following the surgery.

I think the Grizzlies are going to cut Jordan Adams. What a waste of a pick. He showed promise when he played, but just couldn't stay healthy. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go watch Rodney Hood highlights and mourn what could have been.

What if Aaron Gordon SF is a smokescreen and they're just going to play him as a PF with Ibaka as center. Then when he sits, Ibaka plays pf with Vucevic or Biyombo at center.

Since the financial crash, the New York economy has diversified away from finance and now includes a rapidly growing medical sector based on treating Knicks' creaking bones and giving Mets pitchers Tommy John.

Try standing barefeet and getting positive external rotation from the hips with your glutes squeezed and toes pointing forward

Because of circumstances both in and out of my control I couldn't work out normally over the last 6 months and exchanged about 25 lbs of muscle for 35 of fat and coupling that with incredibly tight muscles and lovely range of motion my feet do not appreciate it at all. But I'm working on it. I want to lose most of that fat by the all star break and get the rest of the muscle back by the start of the next season, I can't really afford steroids right now

I'd say they desperately need to trade Vucevic, but I guess they need at least one guy on the team who can put the ball in the basket other than Fournier.

The Magic's whole roster construction to me just doesn't make much sense.

They're versatile but in a way that probably won't lead to wins, just messy but interesting basketball

I've believe in Fournier forever. DJ Augustin is legitimately a top 15 offensive pg if you let him start but he's a huge negative on defense no matter what

Cubs are really good this year. Fifth highest run differential (runs scored - runs allowed) in franchise history:

code:
DIFF	Year	Tm
367	1876	Chicago White Stockings
364	1885	Chicago White Stockings
345	1886	Chicago White Stockings
323	1906	Chicago Cubs
252	2016	Chicago Cubs

If the Cubs lose the series they'll take some of the blame.

According to my yahoo sports app, in the opening doubleheader GS is an 8.5 point favorite over San Antonio and Cleveland 9.5 over New York.

Even though the Spurs are gonna get their rear end kicked without Danny Green, to have the spread be that close to the one between the Cavs and the garbage fire Knicks is harsh.
