Doesn't matter Kobe don't give a damn what rookies say anymore if he did Larry Nance wouldn't be a Laker.

SPOILER: Columbus finds America
Agreed, same shit they were doing a lot last year by playing down to their competition. also they are still walking up the ball every damn time!
Hoiberg needs to split gasol and mirotic up, defense horrible with them together. Also, move the damn ball! No more isos for jimmy and rose every time in the 4th.
Bulls could use him to solve our amnemic offense, but I'm not sure it would be enough, nor do I know what we can offer. On paper a big three of Rose, Butler, Melo sounds unstoppable, but who knows what you're getting with Rose or when Melo's age will affect him?
This team as it currently is won't be fixing any issues with simple linup changes. We need to make big moves now or during the off-season. As far as I am concerned, the only untouchaBull is Butler.

What is up with this franchise?! Players and coaches bashing the legend on his retirement tour regardless of how true it may be
Doc Holliday
SPOILER: Columbus finds America
i agree, not sure what trade is out there though. They definetly need to move one of the bigs. Hige logjam down low.
Also I love jimmy but if you think the Bulls hard to watch get rid of rose and it will be worse. He's still the only guy we have that can breakdown a defense, which is sad because he can't finish like he used to.
I still think this team has a chance to well in the playoffs tho, I mean they have beaten good teams this year. maybe they are just tired of playing well in the regular season only to lose in the playoffs because they are worn down.
Looks like the only bashing anyone is doing in that quote is Kobe himself
Given how close the two are that was clearly a joke.

The Bulls are trash. Time to tank.
The East standings are crazy to look at though. The Pistons are in 10th place, but only 2 games behind the 1 seed. What the hell?

Dude... They played the Suns, not a scrub team.

I know I was sort of exaggerating. Not exactly a game they should be losing though especially with a 16 point 4th quarter lead at home.

Eh, runs are common in the NBA. Most NBA teams are far more capable than their records suggest otherwise.
They'll be pulling a 2008 and trade everyone and picks for a Pierce, an Allen, and a Garnett.
Maybe Durant, Cousins, Lillard? (dont kill me just an opinion)
Doc Holliday
SPOILER: Columbus finds America
No way! They are still a first round out, you keep that pick and that may land you the next great player. Those pieces are still young. Unless you're getting Durant, or maybe Cousins I would not trade that pick.
lmao ridiculous thought but that would be pretty cool i'd say!
they definitely aren't an easy first round out like last year. guys like Bradley and Crowder have really stepped up, plus Stevens is making IT and Smart extremely valuable in this system. I think they are a quality big away from being a top 3 team in the east.

Man does Byron sound like such a huge idiot.

Seems like he confirmed in his post game that they're going to get 20-25 now. So he's reducing their minutes. If he keep their minutes similar but just changed rotations it wouldn't be that bad. Sitting randle in the 4th was unconscionable. The second he took randle and Russell out the raps gained on us.

I think Ainge would move the pick in a second if a star was available. That being said, the chance to get a star small forward in the draft would be hard to pass up.
I used to be high on Cousins then I saw him play us loafing around and complaining every non call. He looked lazy.
Wow. No words.
Watch the Lakers give up their pick + Russell for Melo and fuck up the tank.

Byron Scott is cut from that old school Pat "I'm gonna run you fuckers so hard in practice you'll pull a hamstring right before the Finals" cloth. He probably benched them because he thought they loafed during a drill or something. He's an idiot.

Evans and Gordon combined for 0 points for the Pelicans starting backcourt.
Is his value still high? He hasn't exactly impressed this season, he's had his share of injuries, he's already 31. How much can they really get for him? Don't get me wrong, trading him seems like the best option, just wondering what such a trade could look like. He's a good player, surely the Knicks would want quite a bit.

Raps coach calls out home fans for cheering KB. He's right - gotta support our home team, hard working guys.

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
That's what I meant. This point is his highest value, it will only go downward as time passes by.
Probably to the Bulls or any team that needs some scoring. Jordan trading for him in Charlotte? Haahahahaahaah

The problem with trading Melo is that it's really hard to find a team that has the assets worth a player of his caliber while still being able to take on $23M per year before his 15% trade kicker. The Rockets to me seem like a team that would be interested in making a deal work out and they could make the salaries work by sending Lawson and Ariza back but I doubt they have the picks and/or young assets to entice the Knicks.
This was actually Mark Jack's first season as coach. That resulted in the Barnes and Draymond picks. It was a super blatant tank job. Little surprised it's been so forgotten, but I guess it's because we became good in a hurry thankfully.

Is there anything you can tell me?
Will Sunday December 13 be Byron's last day or are we really riding this garbage to 12-70?
Benching the rooks last night was it for me, hes dead to me.

Lakers lost to the 76rs, so what does that say about them?

Haralabos Voulgaris was just tweeting about this today. BTW, someone replied to him that the Draymond pick came from an unrelated trade, rather than directly from the tank.
And even if that weren't true I don't think anyone can honestly claim that getting a guy with the 35th pick was due to tanking.
Maybe not Draymond specifically, but the season overall was a definite tank job.
I approve of it 1000% obviously, just funny that it never gets brought up.
Ainge pulls creative/ridiculous trades that rob other franchises of life. I think Phil has the chops to conjure a crazy trade out of nowhere. lol. And there is always Jordan / Charlotte!! HAHHAHA

"No official timetable on RHJ, but Lionel Hollins just said he expected 10 weeks out" - @uuords
Oof.
It's hard getting the contracts to match up for a potential Hornets trade.

Maybe Paul George will finally get some recognition for his amazing comeback if he dethrones the Dubs tonight.
There is always Philly for a salary dumpsite. And Portland too, they'd probably take picks to absorb some of the salary. Isn't Batum+Jefferson FAs by the end of the year?

Everything has worked out great for the Spurs. A nice soft schedule for the first quarter to get things figured out
