Cool Buff Man posted:Well I had hoped maybe that wasn't the case but the news isn't very friendly to him. Do you think he will tank or try for one of the last few spots in the east He'd probably prefer to tank, but Pacers ownership is all about that money so expect them to always try to cobble together an 8 seed. The team really only has any hope because they do pretty well drafting guys between 10-15 in the draft.

Thanks for the well wishes fellas the doc said the surgery went well. I gotta not stress or exert myself for awhile which I think is the medical term for watching the knicks with an open heart. But yeah I'm not cloaking before dolan does gently caress that

Clippers to replace Redick and Crawford with a player that is completely unlike either of them in any way, quite literally the inverse of Jamal Crawford (although both are very likable dudes) edit: honestly who scores points on this team when Blake and Gallo are hurt for 30 games?

Dokmo please come up with a formula to calculate a players Knicksiness. Prime Knicksy examples: Allan Houston, broken Penny Hardaway, broken Derrick Rose, Carmelo, Z-Bo, Amar'e It'll be some combination of high usage percentage, lack of defense, and being past their prime

Tae posted:I thought I remembered that Hayward wanted to sign a long term deal with the Jazz, but they balked and he had to find an offer in free agency back when he was a RFA. Yeah. They took advantage of the RFA rules to let someone else set his value and then matched rather than just giving him a huge extension. He didn't want to leave. I could see him maybe being annoyed by that but it's been awhile and he seemed to have a good relationship with the front office and especially coaches so I dunno MelancholyMark posted:Please god no Snyder has wanted a stretch 4 for a long time so this wouldn't shock me at all. Also they love to collect players that I hate. Spacebump posted:LOL. Hey guys sorry I'm leaving even though I also tried to when I was a restricted free agent. Byeeee It's less that he waited and more that he denied it first for no reason and then annouced he was leaving anyway. Again not the world's worst crime but it added an extra kick to the balls for no good reason and could have easily been avoided. leftist heap posted:"needlessly cruel" my man it's a guy who throws a ball around for millions of dollars it is a thread about basketball if people need to add "in the context of basketball" or "it is still less bad than starving children" or whatever to their post every single time they express some basketball related disappointment that feels like it might get tedious. If it makes you feel better just assume it is included in all my posts

In case anyone was doubting that this is what happenedquote:Hayward, working with a ghostwriter, crafted three different versions of a blog for The Players’ Tribune, a website that produces articles written by athletes. The piece was supposed to break the news about where he’d spend the next part of his career, which — spoiler alert — we all know now will be Boston. http://www.deseretnews.com/article/865684258/Agent-tells-Gordon-Haywards-side-of-the-story-from-a-wild-day.html Maybe he's bullshitting but that part seems likely

I think you all are focusing on the thing that Nick Young did in a contract year that he actually probably won't reproduce next year which is play defense. Although if he does that makes him a pretty big addition.

https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/882706712356159488 Go forth and have it all somewhere else Monta. You were...sometimes fun but also a bad fit. E: So if he had 11 mil due next year and an 11mil player option (that he would have certainly picked up) after that, does this mean they are just paying the 22 mil and the buyout talks didn't go anywhere?
