When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

Kevman is good and was really defensive about his team when they were a 33 win team too, so he is just being consistent.

That headline is super reductionary. Taylor has had a direct relationship with his stars for a long time and he the extension is waiting on Taylor and Wiggins to sit down, and Taylor wants to set expectations that they see a continued improvement curve to Wiggins' game, that his scoring isn't enough. That's basically exactly what everyone on this board has said.

I'm not sure what's so "lmao" about talking to someone about development before you drop $150 million, 5 year deal on them.

It's in the news because people are asking if the reason Wiggins doesn't have a contract yet is because they are trying to trade him for Kyrie Irving. Taylor said Wiggins is not available for trade and he wants to meet with him, but has agreed in principle to the rookie-max 5 year deal. If Wiggins signs the deal it takes many potential trades off the table and means the Cavaliers have to wait to make any deal involving Wiggins.

It's coming out because media members are literally asking directly and then reporting the answers.

Back in the day when he played for them, the answer would be Charles Oakley for the Raptors (or anybody else Oak played for). Now it's probably Jonas Valanciunas.

Also, at least they want to talk to Wiggins about improving before he signs the contract. Unlike THJ who they sais, now that you signed this can you be better at everything?

DWade, because he'd sit on the sidelines as the rest of the team impotently tore itself apart. Bobby Portis would do most of the heavy lifting in the actual brawl but then he'd see his own reflection and knock himself out attacking it

Hoiberg would be paralyzed with flashbacks to the Animal House food fight scene.


He's the black hole gunner the Knicks deserve, not the one they need.

Hilariously, he spent a couple years playing in the triangle, and sorta kinda doing ok in it.
