im not sure deandre is better than tt at switching but yeah its hilarious that apparently replacing the outside shooting presence of tristan thompson will be the downfall of the cavs spacing??

george on the thunder is far cooler than george on the cavs would have been

TT's offensive rebounding really gives GSW fits though. I'm not sure DeAndre is an improvement against GSW.

Lebron's media team is savaging Kyrie tho. drat.

Shouts to Lebron's media team.

Kyrie wants a trade Because LeBron is leaving and Dan Gilbert is incompetent.

Everything else is editorializing lol.

Kyrie doesn't want to play on a team without LeBron so he wants to be traded now instead of playing next year with LeBron. That makes more sense than waiting a year for the trade request.

If he knows the team can't build a contender to deal with the Warriors. And hes sick of LeBron. Yes it does make sense to leave now rather than be left holding the bag.

Draymond Green was not too happy that Conor McGregor was wearing a Golden State Warriors jersey but the UFC star would have the last laugh.

Green posted a photo on Saturday morning of McGregor wearing Green's No. 23 Warriors jersey. He captioned the photo, "We rocking with Floyd bro not you... take that off bruh @thenotoriousmma"

He thought it was his jersey but then McGregor said that it was a C.J. Watson Warriors jersey. "I don't know who the f--k you are. No disrespect tho kid keep hustling and stay in school. Now ask yourself why I'm rocking C.j. when I don't give a f--k about basketball. dribble heads off the floor. Not a ball. This is no game here kid."

McGregor may have been wearing a C.J. Watson jersey because the former Warriors was reportedly in a relationship with Josie Harris, who is the mother of Mayweather's three children and was the victim of a 2010 assault by the boxer. Mayweather was sentenced to 90 days in jail for the assault.

Lol stay in school Draymond

Floyd is going to wash him. Connor is going to get paid.

But I guess you want to actually be engaged enough to root for the racist over the wife beater.

Not immediately, the Pacers owners just want to make money and an 8 seed run with an IU guy will put people in the seats to a degree. However, unless McMillan can turn Dipo and Sabonis into good players (lol) then the luster will wear off. They won't make a move quickly though because they didn't hire the cheapest coach and probably the cheapest GM they could find just to then fire them with money left on the contract.
