What would we even do with him? We just gave Robin Lopez a ton of money and Porzingis is the future of the franchise. So you're either shoving Lopez onto the bench and setting a torch to that money or you're stunting the growth of the future.

Also in this context is "snow" supposed to be a euphemism for white girls?
I think so.

Is there anyone in the NBA whose wingspan is roughly their height? Love and Griffin maybe? I feel like it's become a league of Tayshaun Princes.
In general people's wingspans are a little longer than their heights (esp. without shoes), so a bit of a gap is expected. Jabari's measurements are pretty similar to Love and Griffin. I think Olynyk's is less than his height but I don't know who else.

What does Bosh have left to prove anyway? 2 Rings, 11 All-star, A Gold Medal and holds a bunch of franchise records for the Raptors. He's had a way better career than most.
Well his contract is for 20 something million a year, so it's not just about proving stuff. I don't care how much money you have, 20 million will keep anyone coming back for more.

And you could say that he could prove himself as one of the best in the association instead of the guy on the Heat who isn't LeBron or Wade. I don't know if he thinks that way but he is hyper competitive, it's something that he's gotten slagged on numerous times and it would be a much different accomplishment regardless of how likely or unlikely it is.

He probably also likes basketball, and I can't blame him. Love it myself and I'M paying THEM to watch it!

I'm calling it right now, Chris Bosh. It'll be the beginning of July 2017 and Chris Bosh will be alive. He won't even have a masseuse die while massaging him, that's how alive he'll be.

It's correct though? They barely lost Game 7 so even a very minor difference could have swung the game, and Bogut was way better than Varejao and Ezeli who both got creamed that day. Bogut played well in the playoffs until he got hurt.

One thing I've learned over that past two days is how lovely NFL salaries are. Talented kids: baseball or basketball. That's it. Less head trauma, too.
I don't think there are many people who are really choosing between the two in that way. The main basketball guys who succeeded in football aren't guys who had NBA careers waiting for them.

But now we face a new nightmare even more terrible than the first.

The Warriors are good sized title favourites without Durant. Don't know why you'd think we'd be rid of them.
