  1. How is this Bondi's fault but Trump is exempt? (Yes, I know it's a cult.)
  2. You read by understanding, like the Bulls, OKC will have a completely different roster in three years. Jesus. It's right there.
  3. Flagg is now Larry Bird. He's playing in a summer league game against Bronny James and he has....checks notes...10 points on 5-19 shooting. Now, that's a hot take.
  4. Where did I say OKC was as good as the 90's Bulls? I said the Bulls roster had 100% turnover except for Jordan and Pippen. Go back and read.
  5. He's 5-15 at the half and Bronny is not an NBA player. Hitting a turnaround over a guy that's 7 inches smaller isn't a big deal. I think Flagg is going to be good but let's not start sucking our own dicks just yet.
  6. You're right. All great teams have the entire 9 man rotation stay together for the entire time. I was wrong. Kawhai Leonard, David Robinson, and Tim Duncan all played together the entire time.
  7. Well, you asked. I'm not saying OKC are the 90's Bulls. My point is rosters turn over so everyone with "OMG what are the Thunder going to do" takes don't realize rosters turn over. Look at the various Spurs teams, for another example. They had a core and everyone else came and went. They could just rotate 3 & D guys and a big man around the main 3 and that works. That's essentially what they had this season.
  8. "He is pretty special," Pippen told ESPN. "I'm enjoying watching him. I see a lot of me in him for sure. I see a guy rising to be one of the top players in this league. He's definitely a player that is capable of being able to lead that franchise to multiple championships -- him and Shai, of course." https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/45540348/nba-finals-jalen-williams-generation-scottie-pippen
  9. It's easy to forget that the Bulls roster in the second three peat was completely different from the first. Jordan and Pippen were the only players on both. They turned over the entire roster except them. I suspect that 3-4 years from now, OKC will be the same. The main three will be there but everyone else will be different.
  10. If Shai were American, they'd all three be on the US Olympic team in '28.
  11. This is the right answer. They basically told Arkansas to get bent on FEMA relief for a tornado and even they were surprised that Sanders couldn't get through to him. In all fairness, Arkansas (like Texas) is running a surplus and is wanting to cut taxes. There just should have been some lead time.
  12. Abbott will roll into Kerr County next year and get 80% of the vote.
  13. And then trade that young talent for draft picks/future assets. (Cason Wallace next season.) You're not going to hit on all the draft picks, I get that, but they seem to hit on a lot more than they miss.
  14. It's kind of the whole point of the new CBA. You can have 2 or 3 stars but it really rewards the front offices and GM's who can scout young talent. The days of loading up the roster with overpriced vets may be over. You can have a core 3 but you'd better hit on your draft picks and a few FA signings. Presti has already done the math on the outlying years and can figure out who he needs to move. Everyone is under contract for next season but after that, you'll see some moves. It's easy to remember the Bulls teams as being Jordan and Pippen but if you look back, the entire roster besides them turned over between the two three peats. I suspect in 4-5 years, OKC will turn over everyone except those three.
  15. Even I forget that sometimes. Dieng was before him. He doesn't play much but still has some upside, especially at his age. J Dub was one of the Clipper picks and if I remember right, the pick got bumped up because the Clippers were playing in a play in game and Paul George got covid at the last minute and they lost. Could be wrong about that, though.
  16. But the Thunder won't spend money!!!! I don't pretend to know the cap/apron thing but they have some team friendly deals with the supporting cast plus all of the draft picks. Hartenstein is at $30M for two more years but that second year is a team option. It's crazy that Chet and J Dub were the same draft....
  17. He should have sympathy for some of the victims being hit by trees and all.
  18. Even Roseanne....
  19. They'll get over it within a week or two. They'll make up a story like how Trump is keeping all the secrets to have power over the "Deep State" or something. They're likely getting their story straight right now. He'll threaten to release it again in a year or two and they'll fall for it.
  20. End of an era. Retire the jersey.
  21. Arky Trumper guy hates illegal immigrants. Marries an illegal immigrant. Now is immigrating to Ecuador because they're kicking her out. Undefeated: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/08/us/trump-illegal-immigration-raids-arkansas.html?unlocked_article_code=1.U08.6yG4.eawJKWuik5qq&fbclid=IwY2xjawLaDelleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETE4TW16WHVXRFlkanhQUGs2AR4BX9LOLUje79_0XOwBlsJTtj_-HNLjisRwFoVE7QlqcV9W_7jkCxCGu0dpAQ_aem_WxspO7vOdHVB-x3qdkWFqQ
  22. I don't go to MAGA twitter because I don't want computer AIDS but how are they separating Trump from Bondi?
  23. Not unexpected but official. Halliburton out for all of that next season.
