Well that's a hell of a lot more positive than Kris Done and Cam Pain. Congrats

You have a way more positive view of Felder than I do.


Also they need to lose a contract(Diacano is on a 2 way so he's back to the gatorade league).

Hopefully they waive Payne

The CavsPosters's enthusiasm probably wore off on me but I also think Dunn and Payne are total busts while Felder hasn't been given the chance to flop yet so there's that

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.
I'm surprised more teams don't give extremely tiny scoring machines like Vander Blue a shot.

rollin' my eyes so hard I'm causing damage to my optic nerve. Why would I want to wear this piece of jewelry that symbolizes my greatest accomplishment. Also I wanna read your writeup on Orlando, you should finish that! I thought they had one of the worst rosters in the league as of two or three seasons ago and I haven't been watching their games much

doin it tonight, got out of work early. and i'm probably the wrong person to determine if that's weird cause i'm not big on jewelry in the first place. But I guess I feel like, if you're steph Curry or Lebron James or what have you, you're already the symbol of your own powers. The ring is a trinket that can never contain the power that made it

I just don't understand the need to pull these 2+ year deals. Though I guess when your team has back to back 60+ win seasons it's hard to justify trying to go younger or whatever.

This man in the Oval Office is a soulless coward who thinks that he can only become large by belittling others. This has of course been a common practice of his, but to do it in this manner–and to lie about how previous Presidents responded to the deaths of soldiers–is as low as it gets. We have a pathological liar in the White House: unfit intellectually, emotionally, and psychologically to hold this office and the whole world knows it, especially those around him every day. The people who work with this President should be ashamed because they know it better than anyone just how unfit he is, and yet they choose to do nothing about it. This is their shame most of all.

My favorite Simmons move is where he tells the guest something pretty stupid and the guest says as tactfully as he can why it's dumb and actually the opposite is true. Then Simmons hits him with the "Oh yeah, that's what I meant, I think that too." He used to do it to Zach Lowe like 5 times an episode back in the Grantland days.

Pop is a genius. Not only does he get to speak his mind but no one will ever ask him basketball questions again.Next time David Aldridge asks him why he didn't sub in Manu he can just dunk on Trump and everyone will be cool.

I'm excited for RJ/Jokic hijinks and also excited to finally punt Jameer. There's still a tiny part of me that hopes Muday puts it together. Torrey Craig is a 2way contract guy so I'm pretty sure he's safe.

Ive decided to extend my moronic posting from football to basketball this year, with a view toward abandoning the NFL because it is bad, boring, and the players are all dying.

Anyway I could name about 5 NBA players total so I'm trying to pick a team. This dude Coach Popovich is luring me into the Spurs because he is a badass, politically and facially.
