Can "Ian Sjumpert" be used as an argument in Tae's favor or are we only counting regular season posting

My guess is yes because that would be a pretty blatant conflict of interest?

not even DWill? The one who played not the one who didn't

when he was on Brooklyn there were these local cheap cell phone ads (both the ads and the service was Cheap with all the negative connotations intended) with Deron Williams that were the absolute worst commercials I've ever seen. They're not online I've searched for them a few times. It was Boost or TMobile, can't remember which. He could barely speak his lines, the concept was "I am fast and so is our cell phone service" and it had a sped up film clip of him dribbling between his legs a few times with a whoosh whoosh sound effect and then he said if you think that's fast try this cell phone. I don't immediately have words for how bad his reading of his lines was.

companies usually upload their own commercials to the internet, but this one was so bad they tried to flush it down the memory toilet. Much like DWills finals performance

It was MetroPCS.

My body is very ready for the Knicks to trade away KP and re-sign Derrick Rose to a max contract so that I never have to worry about being a Knicks fan ever again. Thank you Phil Jackson for freeing me from this hellscape

Ah, the post Dwight years, that's a blank spot in my memory

Turkeyglue and Lewis were on the Dwight era Magic, they were key pieces in that team that went to the finals, which also featured the likes of Mickael "The Cross-Eyed Lebron Stopper" Pietrus and a 109 year old Anthony Johnson

Looking back on it, the 08-09 Magic were a really fun team. Jameer Nelson was steering the ship. Marcin Gortat, J.J. Redick, and Courtney Lee, all 23 years old. And Tyronn Lue played 129 minutes for 'em!

That was arguably the best series LeBron has ever played, I don't think Pietrus bugged him too much

That series also featured Lebron's career best buzzer beater:

How is Lowry as a defender? I get the sense playing alongside Butler would take a lot of the defensive burden off of him

The Warriors are the least likely to repeat. Durant is made of paper tissue, did everyone forget he missed almost half the season. And then he got injured again after that.

He missed 20 games, and I don't recall him getting injured in the playoffs?

On the other hand Redick's usage and counting stats should go up this year, which will help convince some team to sign him to that big 3-4yr contract to end his career

Not to mention $23M is probably the most he'd earn in 17-18 under any deal

Kyle Korver shot .313 from three in the Finals, maybe they should get someone who's clutch instead

Not sure this solves any of the Celtics problems against Cleveland, but it's not like this mortgages their future at all.

Personally I hoped he'd sign with Miami because the storyline of LeBron facing a formidable Heat team in the playoffs would be super interesting. Oh well. The conference remains Cleveland Boston Washington-kinda Milwaukee-soooorta and then a literal tire fire.

Dion Waiters still sucks even though he's very likeable

CB Man it strikes me that the inverse is true, he's actually better than you might think (or at least was in 46 games last season) in spite of his unlikable personality (although his Players Tribune article won me over).

Am I crazy or does Rose not fit at all in Cleveland? He's ball dominant on offense and plays less than zero defense, which is like the exact opposite of what the Cavs need at his position. I mean, unless he's willing to play 10-15mpg off the bench whenever LeBron is resting, but I don't see him willing to do that, especially if Kyrie is traded and that starting spot opens up.
