I wouldn't call myself a Spurs fan but I do root for my favorites to land there because I want them to win rings.

Also a big fan of Duncan from back in the day. Sports in general needs more boring superstars. Most people are boring, so let's give kids role models they can actually live up to.

If Harden won another title it would be on his 5th team whereas KG did on his 2nd team the first year he arrived. Dude doesn't have the reputation of being loyal or a hard worker the same way KG did

Azathoth is referring to Joel Embiid there, no?

Joel works like hell to get back from his various injuries. I can see why fans look at Chet and Wemby with skepticism when more muscular and toned big men like Embiid and Anthony Davis can still get sideswiped out of months.

Yossarian is right though that winning in the first year after your move has a jenesaisqoui. Offseason is ring hunting season. Lillard get off the pot everyone else needs to use the deal zone.

i was about to say toned big men like shaq or yao ming, but domantas sabonis and robert williams iii are contemporary big men who look like they can win a championship if they can stay healthy on the right team

someone like a marcus smart type guy will dive for a loose ball and because wembys knees are shoulder level, will make solid contact and wembys leg will bend the wrong way

N: Kyle Anderson (6'9'' Forward for the Minnesota Timberwolves, tragically struck twice by his own teammates for trying to instill the will to upset the eventual champions) obtained Chinese nationality this morning and met Yao Ming, chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association.

The CBA confirms this in a post on its official Weibo account.

v: Yao read the C.Ronaldo & Mbappe to KSA news, and was like jeez I can get a real small forward on our World Cup squad for like an autographed ball and an electric scooter.

yeah they didn’t really have a choice from either a PR perspective or a championship window perspective. their out was trading him after they lost to the Nets and I get why they didn’t move then either

they can still trade him I guess. his value is still very high

alternatively he can just demand a trade when his eligible to be traded

Marcus Smart had a trade kicker and they moved him. Obviously a lot more with Jaylen's kicker but if things got bad and they wanted him gone, they'd eat it to get a return.

trade kickers can not bring you past what the max is for the year you are traded I think

so if he’s at the top already idk if it will be anything

lol when the offseason started I felt kind of bad about the Kings giving 80M to Harrison Barnes but now that seems like chump change

More and more I'm liking the Kings' "running it back" strategy. Plus they got Sasha Vezenkov who looks like a baller
