Why is Lonzo Ball so oddly sorft? He plays hard on defense in every way except the most important for a pg, and he did play in the pg position, he died on screens. He was afraid of contact around the rim. Go work out with a real trainer and build your core strength Lonzo.

Eric jr really has the feel of an old man using twitter on his phone, the broken syntax and weird phrasing from autocorrect, the random caps when fishing for proper nouns, the constancy of errors due to poor vision and aging eyes. Or it could be Bry guy, what the hell do I know. I'm very suspicious for fakes and frauds in these "career destroyed by web posting" moments, but it's an awfully oblique way to go about it, when you could cut to the chase and add some racial slurs if you wanted a coup de gras.

So, how? With no Capela, Ariza, or CP3 they only have $20mil in cap space. The only option would be if Cleveland has an agreement that they'd trade Lebron for a crap platter back. Or Lebron takes a minimum, which I do not think he'd do.

You would have to have a third team willing to eat Ryan Anderson's contract that has something to actually offer Cleveland because Gilbert is not eating Anderson's contract and the luxury tax that would go with it just to make LeBron happy.

Lebron already stated he won't take anything less than the max from now on regardless of what team he plays for didn't he?

If LeBron said he was leaving, Gilbert could just renounce his Bird rights and gently caress him out of a supermax couldn't he?

http://www.spotrac.com/nba/houston-rockets/cap/2018/

They have an open cap but that assumes giving up all of their players. It's possible but tricky, I don't know if Lebron would want to recreate his "figuring out how to play with 2 other high usage players who don't want to stand still while I survey the defense" years in Miami/Cleveland. It's certainly possible with a Ryan Anderson- Somebody else trade. Lebron wants to be a billionaire, I don't think he's taking anything less than the max as long as it's being offered. Paul would be forced to choose wether or not he wanted to sacrifice. The Lebron moving thing is odd, I'm sure there are cryptic clues we're missing but I have no idea where the man is going. There's no easy fit, no obvious choice.

Gilbert might be a vindictive dumbo but I doubt he's that petty. Renouncing his rights would mean no chance of first round picks or other remuneration for helping Lebron on to his next stop.

If you found out about Hinkie's legit Phila12345 account you could pretty easily rig up four dummy accounts with the same follows.

A random AI enthusiast noticing a handful of "weird tweets" in the middle of Sixers Twitter and deciding to run elaborate data analysis just seems weird to me, but someone running a yearslong con to sabotage Colangelo is obviously less likely. Though given the fanbase maybe not a ton less likely

I don't think he would at all, but a first from a team you're trading LeBron to is basically useless.

Gathering up armloads of first round picks at any position has helped Boston rebuild. I'd say that non lottery picks tend to be overvalued, but when your team is guaranteed to be bad (spend a few minutes visualizing Jordan Clarkson ineffectually trying to break down a defender, then passing to Kevin Love, who's doubled and has to pass to a wide open Jeff Green, over about 100 possessions per game over 82 games) , you might as well get what you can.

Although it's a fair point that what Houston can give them probably isn't worth the assets they could get from renting the Ryan Anderson cap space
