  1. No. 4 frp for Bane is ridiculous, especially since one of them is a swap for 2026 with Washington and Phoenix who should both be lottery bound next year. Unless I’m reading that incorrectly. And his big contract kicks in this year. I haven’t looked at Orlando’s cap situation but they have to be moving into apron territory with the extension they have Wagner. And Memphis I guess is clearing cap for JJJ extension? Accumulating resources for a big move? Weird move for a team trying to compete but that’s a huge haul for Bane.
  2. Nice guy. Greenwood was neighbors with one of my friends in high school and used to give us his tickets every now and then. RIP.
  3. It's ratings/money driven, I'm sure. Saturday night is a bad night for TV vs. Sunday night. But I agree it's annoying. Not sure this corresponds to the eye test. I'd like to see the sample size. Indy is doing everything they can to get Dort off of Haliburton, usually trying to screen him and get them to switch onto a big. They were targeting Wiggins some in the last game too. Indy sure as shit isn't targeting SGA like Boston was targeting Luka.
  4. Exactly. Durant has all the leverage here. All he has to say is sure, you can trade me to team x but I’m not signing an extension. There’s not much trade value for a one year rental. That’s pretty much what Fox did in Sacramento and why the spurs got him so relatives cheaply. And that’s why spurs fans think they are going to get him for Vassell, Barnes, and the number 14 pick if that’s where he wants to be.
  5. Yes, while he’s still wearing it.
  6. That list isn't complete. Stan Albeck was traded by the Spurs to the Nets for Fred Roberts, cash and a second round pick. And why did they have to throw shade at Doc Rivers?
  7. I think it's a really interesting finals from a strategy/tactical standpoint. I give the Pacers a puncher's change against OKC. I felt the same way about them last year against Boston, at least until Haliburton got hurt. They also have this team of destiny thing going for them that you can't overlook. OKC hasn't really shot it consistently well from three and they aren't a particularly great rebounding team either. I can see Indiana making them uncomfortable if they get it going from outside and OKC has to play from behind. The thing that makes it tough on the Pacers is how many great perimeter defenders OKC can throw at Haliburton - SGA, Caruso, Wallace, Dort, even Williams if they want to throw a bigger guy at him. Haliburton is going to have to work for everything he gets and they aren't going to be able to exploit the Thunder like they could the Knicks with Brunson and KAT. Then again, OKC is a little bit easier to defend because just about everything is SGA or Williams going one on one. Really looking forward to the Siakim / Williams matchup as well.
  8. 19 and 11 on 8-12 from the field and +25 tonight. That would be the best game of Rudy Goberts career. I don't care if he's doing it in a wheelchair.
  9. He's looked pretty good this series for a guy with one knee.
  10. Gobert's shitty contract also forced you to trade KAT. Congrats on the two western conference bridesmaid dresses but your franchise would still be better off having never made that trade. It was dumb then. It was still dumb even when you lucked out and came back on Denver. It was dumb after OKC ran you out of the gym. It will be dumb this off season when you try to retool with no assets. And it will be especially dumb when Anthony Edwards finally gets tired of this shit and demands to be traded.
  11. Also, the comp to Flagg is John Havlicek.
  12. I like Toro downtown. Pretty good vibe and tapas, plus hidden door bar downstairs is cool to check out. Also add the bar at the Havana to @LebongJames otherwise great list. The Bonham is huge. I don't see that being a problem.
  13. Indiana -OKC would be a great finals. Indy don't give a fuck and just pushes pace the entire time. As great as the thunder defense is, the Pacers just make you play differently. Obviously some work left to do for both squads, but I think the Pacers will give them a series.
  14. I think OKC runs them off the court. If Williams shoots just average in the Denver series, it's probably over in 5-6 games. OKC has about 5 different guys they can throw at Edwards. Randle is going to have to play out of his ass again for them to win. I just don't see it.
