I am so bored at work. I need something to happen so we can at least laugh and make jokes about how dumb Magic is. Hell, I'll even take another round of KD fart jokes!

i would be sad to lose Beverley he is pretty great and (if you're a Rockets fan) likeable, but his value has likely peaked or close. Hes fairly injury prone and has maybe a few decent seasons left. I don't really want to lose him for nothing, but if it leads to landing a star, welp

If he wants more rings it's the logical choice.

Ryan Anderson plays 0 defense, correct?

He also shot 3for24 from 3P range against OKC in the playoffs which was highly entertaining.

Kevin Durant: Obituary:

"A terrible diet and room with no ventilation are being blamed for the death of a man killed by his own gas. There were no marks found on his body, but an autopsy revealed the presence of large amounts of methane dissolved in his blood.

His diet had consisted primarily of beans and cabbage, just the right combination of foods to produce a severe gas attack. It appears that the man died in his sleep from breathing the poisonous cloud that was hanging over his bed.

Had his windows been open, the flatulence wouldn't have been fatal, but the man was shut up in a nearly airtight bedroom. He was a man with an unlimited capacity for creating the deadly gas. Three rescuers became sick and one was hospitalized."

We come spinning out of nothingness, scattering stars like dust.



Green is 29 with two bad years in a row, why would anyone want him? I mean MAYBE he finds his shot again, but if he can't do it with the Spurs then I don't have faith in him finding it elsewhere.

I hate Beverley, but if he's not the poster boy for Houston's version of Grit n Grind, idk what is. Morey should at least keep one defender.

I thought ESPN hired Woj (who has hated ESPN since forever) specifically to stop him from scooping their show 60 times in a row every year

now he's going to keep doing it but under ESPN's brand?

It rules for me, but I can't imagine why ESPN likes it

Woj moves under Bill Simmons' umbrella and tweets which Game of Thrones characters are about to die 15 minutes before it happens but it's fine because he's employed by HBO and the show sucks now anyways

He can still defend though. But yeah I'm sure someone will end up overvaluing him

Hello? Can you hear me? ...Perhaps if I shout? AAAAAAAAAH!
Green shot 38% from 3, that's basically his offense and he's still an elite overall perimeter defender. Instantly 20 teams would like him on their starting team, especially with his salary.

I wonder if the spurs are signaling that they want to keep and start JSimms after his playoff performance and need that cap room if they want to also get another Max player.

Woj hasn't been hired by ESPN yet. I assume once he is officially on the roster the pick scooping will stop.

He's always always been icy/hot, he's still the legit 3&D dude plenty of teams want. Still a great defender who gets overshadowed by Kawhi and still one of the best chase down blockers/defenders among guards
I'd hate to dump him unless there was a good deal/signing in place
