DeimosRising posted:One presumes having rubio instead of a Spurs and Pacers vet combo guard at the point will change their style From what I read and heard, especially from Utah specialists, they don't run in transition because Gobert is not a transition player. You're only going to see the Jazz run more in those Rubio without Gobert line-ups.

I liked living in Oakland even though I got mugged 3 times over the course of a year. San Francisco is kinda smelly and the litter is out of loving control but it's a really fun time and it's a cool looking city. I even watched a documentary about AIDS at the Castro, so I know everything there is to know about the Bay Area

Also if you know you're going to have trouble scoring, slowing the game way down and uglying things up is probably the way to go. They might run a little more with Rubio but it won't be much

Shaquille O’Neal discusses 2020 plans to run for sheriff in Henry County, Ga. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/early-lead/wp/2017/08/03/shaquille-oneal-elaborates-on-possible-plans-to-run-for-sheriff-in-2020/ “There’s a lot of stuff going on, I don’t want to comment on what’s going on, but not on my watch. Like for example. You can’t tase an old lady. For example, you can’t put a 6-year-old in handcuffs. Can’t do it. Not going to do it. I’d just have to do it piece by piece and piece by piece, the way I do business, and the way I won championships, I’m very confident that I can run a successful operation. With the kids, you can’t talk to the officer like that.” TheKevman posted:Haha no I was referencing that drink poll if you happened to fill it out, I was sleuthing my way down the list Water. Libertine posted:ESPN posted an analytics thing yesterday where they think the Hawks will be the worst in the East but I don't know if they've fallen that far (maybe they have I don't know). Feel even less sure about predicting the Hawks than the Jazz because they essentially have an entirely different (and likely much worse) team. I read that and they had every team winning at least 27 games. That hasn't happened too often: 1971 ABA 1970 1957 1956

as excited as i would be to get rid of reggie jackson AND get kyrie the source on these pistons interest in irving is because of a vince ellis article that happens to mention that detroit is one of the twenty teams interested in him. this trade scenario ends up with the cavs getting reggie jackson and deandre jordan which would be kind of expensive and not a very good return if you ask me. i mean dont get me wrong i'd love that deal but this is just attention grabbing headlines and nothing actually in the works Spacebump posted:It's too bad Bradley can't be traded with anyone else. the proposed deal in the article that kicked all this off is DET receives: Tristan Thompson, Kyrie LAC receives: Stanley Johnson, Andre Drummond, DET future 1st CLE receives: Deandre Jordan, Reggie Jackson

His contract is bad, but it's like, regular bad. It's what a contender has to do because they don't have cap space. I'd rather have Rivers for 11/yr than sjumpbert at 10.

Hi, I'm looking for a new team (and sport) to follow now that soccer has truly gone off the deep end with money. However, the soccer club that I support has always struggled with kinda rubbish ownership, retaining any players that show even a glimpse of promise and overall has been a bit of a misery circus after I started supporting them as a kid back in 2000 or so. What team fits that bill in the NBA so I know not to repeat the mistake?
