The only people who consider Toronto a laughingstock are Toronto fans. They've had a really good season and there's no shame in being a tier below the top. Teams like Dallas and even the Spurs have hung out there until they caught/made some luck and became Championship teams.

Tell me more about how the Lowry quote about not being able to catch LeBron has gone over

The Pistons better not trade their draft pick and Stanley Johnson for a "win now" veteran, I like Stan Van Gundy as a coach and mostly tolerate him as a GM but this would be an atrocious move

The 12th pick is not that valuable. We don't know what exactly a "win now" vet means but the 12 is about 50% likely to wash and about 50% likely to be a decent role player. Cost control, whatever, but if you get a decent starter then you've almost certainly won that trade.

Cue the Magic trading them someone while taking back Reggie Jackson and the 12th pick.

This is just my annual off-season check-in to ask where anyone thinks the Hawks can go from here. Feels like they're teetering on the brink of disaster as they slowly bleed away all of their core players?

Yeah, I think they will get Millsap back but it seems like a "slowly deflate out of the playoffs" situation for Atlanta. They probably will have enough to be right around 45 wins again, but I don't think there is much head room unless something amazing happens.

I don't have the quote, but it was about the Timberwolves when everyone was pushing the "they only like white people in Minnesota" thing. It was something like the crowd should really make sure they pronounce the D's in his name while chanting it.

I hope the Mavs don't use their team option on Dirk's deal. They should let Dirk get a huge pay day and save that money to use on Seth Curry next offseason. It's not like they will be competing for the 18 title anyway.
