Came here to ask how Rudy Gay would fit in OKC and you guys already have it broke down. NBA thread is the best. Thanks guys.

Also, I'd imagine they'd have to give up either a Sabonis or Payne and picks, which they don't seem to have a lot of at this point.

He did this a bunch of times last night and they were all so composed and confident, was so cool that the Knicks didn't blow that game.

edit:

I wasn't aware of this one sided romance:

quote:

Drake wore a black T-shirt with a drawing of ESPN analyst Doris Burke’s face and the words “Woman Crush Everyday.” I’m actually starting to feel a little bit anxious for the poor woman: She told New York magazine’s Rembert Browne back in June that Drake had once turned to her during a Raptors game and shaped his hands like a heart in her general direction. She wasn’t working this ESPN broadcast, but that didn’t stop Drake from calling her a “stunning woman” in a courtside interview and adding that she should come to his house for dinner — alone. Have some chill for once, bud!

There are auto generated content sites that create fake trade rumors for click bait. I don't know why but the NBA seems more prone to it

Views from the 6 is literally just Drake talking about being in the sixth row at a Raptors game and wanting to holler at Doris Burke.

Gasol's shimmy walk was a-mazing though.

Drake's comments on Doris during the broadcast made me cringe. He clearly thinks that praising her for her beauty and playing up the crush angle is honoring her, but it minimizes how good she is at her actual job and was really only a short hop away from the Tr*mp Access Hollywood tape. I realize that I'm taking Drake's off-the-cuff lighthearted statements too seriously but it was almost like he was giving her backhanded compliments while pretending to love her.

Did you listen to it? When the announcers said they had been to Doris's house or had her over or something, Drake was like "what are you trying to say?" To me that smacks of "locker room talk." Literally the entire segment was him making sexual innuendos or praising her beauty. It's funny because it's Drake, but I don't think the parallel is so laughable.
