Cameron Payne is the worst loving basketball player I've ever seen, how did this dude ever even get drafted, he's just getting waxed by no-name guys who will never play basketball again

I was wondering what your reaction would be to todays game and I thought it would basically be this. He's gotta go

Oh, he did! My brain totally read it as Lonzo. Well still. I think it has more to do with running your mouth against a players dad than the language he used. I'm sure the NBA would prefer no one talk to Lavar Ball.

It's just absurd policing of how players spend their free time. I didn't even know that the NBA could fine a dude for an offhand comment during the offseason. He should be able to say "I want to stomp Draymond's balls clean off his body" with all the freedom every American enjoys. Did our soldiers fight and die for nothing

Of the two active players with the last name Payne, Cameron actually has the WS lead! You can't put a price on that.

(The price is Taj Gibson, McDermott and a 2nd)

dejounte murray has been hot trash in just about every summer league game. the guy dribbles it up to his shoulders and losses the ball on drives frequently, that is, when he's not just getting it stolen outright

the spurs' plan of throwing murray into the fire might turn into a complete disaster

on the other hand, bryn forbes looks amazing out there so maybe not all is lost, or maybe summer league isn't always the best indicator of success

Murray is also 20 where Forbes is 23.

plus in 2015 the supreme court ruled in Elonis v. United States that mens rea still applies while making ridiculous posts online and you can't go to jail for writing on facebook that, for example, you're going to shoot a rocket launcher at James Dolan's chest, especially if you're not even trying to buy a rocket launcher. It was a good-rear end decision.

you literally think a person saying their NBA team of choice being better than the fucking 76ers is a 'schtick'

a literal thing you think.
