Melo trying to best Lebron in the biggest loser contest.
Dude, what added pressure? There's no expectations for him to win, none what so ever. He's going to be in the same boat with the other young players on that team. The media is not give to shits about Andrew Wiggins in Minnesota. He'll put up stats there but that's about it. The real pressure is playing with LeBron, stepping up and contributing right away.
You make no sense. There's definitely more pressure playing with LeBron under bright lights than playing in Minnesota. Wiggins has nothing to worry about in Minnesota other than playing basketball, which he's been doing all his life. If it was LeBron, Irving, and Wiggins, he'd be counted on to shut down the opposing team's best player and contribute enough to make a difference offensively. You act like he's gonna drop 25 a night in Minny. That 18 that he might average in Minny is the 18 he'd be able to score much more easily with LeBron/Kyrie in Cleveland.It's almost like I said it's NOT FAN PRESSURE. Athletes put pressure on themselves and to him, playing on a stacked team might be a safety net when he wants to become the go-to guy.
Nothing to do with the media, the fans, or anyone else but him and his team.
I never played a sport where I didn't put pressure on myself for one reason or another and Wiggins basically told his coach that's what he wants where the team needs him. It has nothing to do with anyone else but himself and wanting to become a breakout player.

Gonna miss Marshmelo. He doesn't even look right like that.Melo trying to best Lebron in the biggest loser contest.
Lol Pacers trying to trade Roy Hibbert.
Edit: I actually think that Roy Hibbert for Greg Monroe could benefit both teams now that I think about it. Lord knows that Roy needs a fresh start to wash away the stink from last season.
Pacers offered Hibbert to Phoenix for Dragic, are they fucking serious?

A rookie to shut the down the opposing team best player. You can not be serious. Wiggins has more pressure playing in Minnesota than with the Cavs. Book it, dude is still #1 overall pick.You make no sense.

Big news.
RT @thebiglead: DETAILS: Bill Simmons Leaving ESPN Countdown, Launching 'The Grantland Basketball Show' http://wp.me/p3LRnW-1FQO
Bill Simmons is leaving ESPN NBA Countdown and launching his own NBA show The Grantland Basketball Show this Fall, two sources tell The Big Lead.
Simmons, who spent the last three years on NBA Countdown, will star on the show, which begins October 21st at 8 pm on ESPN. There will be 18 one-hour episodes that air throughout the NBA season and through the NBA Finals. Grantland contributors are expected to be featured prominently.
Grantland website is pretty awful for the most part but Zach Lowe produces great content. Idk

Wiggins' defense is NBA ready.
Grantland is espn tho.Grantland is 1000x better than ESPN
Grantland is espn tho.
Totally agreed. I'm not a fan of Bill Simmons the TV Personality, but Grantland as a whole is a good site. Lots of quality writers and great articles.Grantland is 1000x better than ESPN
WTF are you talking about? Did I compare him a HOF? No. I said his defense is already at the NBA level, just like PG's defense was ahead of his offense. They need to burn this thread to the ground. Best gaf is no longer more.He's basically as good a defender as Scottie Pippen ever was.
If we are going to make things up before he plays in a single NBA game, we might as well go big!
Interesting.
I wonder who will replace him? Maybe let the trio work first before deciding if they need a fourth one. Theres like zero candidates that is currently in espn to choose from. Jalen is okay on the show so as doug. Sage is alright too but i prefer cassidy hubbarth. Hubbarth not doris level in basketball knowledge but she seems to be more knowledgeable in bball than sage is (or maybe its just that sage doesnt quite fit well with jalen/bill).Interesting.

The Lynx are really good and a well run organization. The Wolves are about to lose their second Top 5 player in the last 7 years and are a fucking clown show.Theres literally no pressure playing Minnesota. No one gives shit about The Wolves there. The Lynx are more popular than The Wolves.
So the Knicks play the Wizards on Christmas Day.
I might be in New York that day, how will one go about getting some tickets to it? Did a quick research and the only ones I found were 6 tickets from Stubhub. All are tickets gone or will they go on sale later on?
Charlotte is putting a bid in to host the All-Star game for either 2017 or 2018
GET SOME!
it's the only way you're going to get all stars to Charlotte so go for it
the full NBA schedule is out
get facking pumped
Cousins got hurt in Team USA practice today, is going to have an MRI on his leg.
This might be an all guard team by the time they get to Spain.

Melo even during his rookie year wasn't the most athletic guy but I think it will benefit him in the long run, plus the added quickness should be interesting that first step off the dribble it's gonna be even more deadly #staymelo PEACE ( shoutouts to pimp )
Lil Wayne was on ESPN First Take and he said Mario Chalmers is going to have a breakout season with Lebron gone. Lol. Called him a beast.
Those drugs really starting to get to him.
