I...didn't hate draymond's speech thing

Draymond seems to still be an rear end in a top hat and is absolutely cocky and arrogant and needs to shut up when he gets called for fouls and stop kicking dudes in the dick


................but I was a student at MSU while he was there and I loved watching him play and he turned into the heart of that program and I knew he'd be a steal for the Warriors, so he's *my* rear end in a top hat :unsmith:

I still think those things about him but without the second part. but he managed to sound like a adult for a minute

Yeah if you get him out of the spotlight he's always been a really good interview, he's got a great mind for the game and he learned a shitload from Izzo.

Lol if the Cavs owner ruined LeBron's best shot at another ring because he's an rear end in a top hat

Would Jimmy Butler really be their best option at getting over the top though?
e: they'd have to dump Love and a few other fillers and probably some future picks, I just don't see it

Seriously, go read up on how much of a sociopath that idiot was. Fired one of the greatest coaches of all time and drove Jim Brown to retire. That's the level of dipshit that Gilbert is.

Ainge not trading for George was the smart move and even though the Thunder gave up literal garbage for him I don't think the Celts were ever in a similar position. I'm still cool with laughing at Boston, however.

I guess if you think Sabonis and Oladipo will turn into something? Since George may well bolt next offseason, and it still doesn't seem likely that anyone is getting through GSW in the west next year.

Those two turning into valuable pieces is such a stretch, though. And worst case scenario George leaves and they get some more cap space which is fine because like you said it's gonna be tough for anyone to take down the Warriors for prob. the next 3-4 years.

Holy hell the Eastern Conference is even more of a loving wasteland now, I guess if Boston picks up Hayward there will be 2 fairly OK teams, but beyond Cleveland Boston & the Wizards that half of the league is looking pretty dire

I feel like an underrated aspect of this is watching D'Antoni have to deal with Melo again, who was such a bad fit, it nearly killed Mike's career
