Nobody wants to come to philly either. I already told you, it's not impressive in the NBA because teams will literally give you things for eating contracts so they can sign FA's. This literally means that your owner was too cheap to make their team better.

Paul Allen absolutely wanted to sign players. The whole reason we had money lying around is because Aldridge left. One of the main reasons he left is because Monroe chose Milwaukie over us. We wanted both of them on the team. You have 'literally' no idea what you're taking about. He has always spent money here. The main point I was making, and I'll make it agin for you, is that we are excelling while rebuilding. I know that's hard for you, considering you're in Philadelphia, but we will very likely end up as a 5-seed. It's fucking impressive as hell. I had to listen to Bill Simmons rant about how we would very possibly end up last in the west. It's impressive, period.
Thanks for ignoring literally the entire point I was making, but that's ok that your team doesn't have any backup plans when free agents inevitably dont show up and the fact that you'll most likely speed up your rebuilding process too fast and be like the Suns, or waste Lillard's prime
It's impressive that your team is doing well when they weren't supposed too, it's not impressive at all that you have the lowest salary cap useage in the league, in fact this is literally a bad thing because it means you aren't maximizing the amount of cap space you do have by acquiring bad contracts for draft picks, or hell even trade swap rights and young talent.
but of course WE DIDNT SPEND MONEY AND WE ARE THE 6TH SEED IN A MEDIOCRE WESTERN CONFERENCE THIS IS AMAZING GUYS
Since you're acting so civil, I'll leave you to it and go back to my original post: damn I love the effort my team is showing with the cobbled together roster we have. Awesome job.
Warriors-Celtics was really good.

all I want out of the heat is a second round match up with cavs
get that 4/5 seed or throw games to get to 8th ;p
3rd seed to a lottery team in 1 year. Worked out great!
yes. Brooklyn shutting down Lopez and Thad Young for the rest of the season.

Pistons beat the Bulls in Chicago.
So sad that Jimmy B is putting up numbers while he is hurt. And they want to trade him?
That would be so dumb and rigged if that shit happened. Any home town hero's in this year's draft like when DRose was drafted?

Hope the Raps get Jamal Murray lol one can dream.
didn't get the W but goddamn I loved the fight from the hornets is the second half. they were without big al for the whole game (a match up nightmare for the cavs' bigs), without batum in the second half (one of the primary lebron defenders), dug themselves into a hole in the 1st half (were down +20 at one point), and still managed to grind back in the second half. cut it within 4 late in the 4th but then let it get away.
loved what I saw from kemba, dude played the whole second half and put up 15 in the 3rd quarter. loved what I saw from marvin williams. he continues to play exceptional on both sides of the floor. loved what I saw from big frank defensively. got matched up against lebron a few times and forced him into contested fade-aways.
if they can get healthy for the playoffs they could make some noise. would love to see them make it to the ecf.

Okc choked once again.
JVG is right, but Clint having a game. Start him over Dwight.

That is just unreal.

Thibs will be such a hot commodity this summer. Any rumors yet where he is headed? Would Bulls be smart enough to try and get him back. I'd want him for Toronto if Raptors hadn't been beasting this year
fingers crossed Raptors win a playoff game series this time

I guess these Orlando Magics rumors make more sense now that you mention it. I could see him as the new coach especially if they acquire Jimmy B in a trade.

Lebron doing good work for his former team.
Uh, wow. Blame the coach? I knew they blew a lot of 4th quarter leads, but man.
Vs Chicago, W 111-89
Vs Brooklyn, W 139-105
Vs Indiana, W 114-94
Vs Milwaukee, L 113-110
Vs Memphis, W 119-107
I don't think we haven't had a five game stretch this good since Stan Van and Dwight, even with the final-minute collapse against Milwaukee. Vucevic is beasting from the bench, I think it's time we kept him there.

Thon Maker is going to enter the NBA Draft.

not a surprisse for Thon, and also every single college basketball player should apply for the draft, there's literally no reason not too since there's no consequence of declaring without hiring an agent

Crazy back and forth between Lillard and Curry in this quarter. I'm on the edge of my seat.

Now I'm sitting deep in my seat.
Golden State's defense is continues to be shaky at times, but Curry's come out of that mini slump these last few games. Great to see.
Interesting. I remember his handler saying he would go to college "100%".
Wow.
That is unreal
Also, I see Kobe is punking the Celtics again...27pts with 3min left in third.

wow if the NBA actually lets this through. I mean he could fall to the end of the first round. His draft stock isn't exactly high right now. Dude could ostensibly fall to the Warriors.

He sounds brilliant. Also this:
Definitely doesn't sound like a kid who wants to go to college. He doesn't want to play with guys who care about school.
He isn't going to fall that far lol.
Lol come on you know that isn't ever going to happen. This draft class is terrible outside the very top. He'd go well before that.
lmao
Is it? A player is able to join the D-League at any age without having declared for the draft? I actually didn't know that if true.
This will be a really interesting case for the NBA. It seems he has a pretty strong case if this past year was indeed a post-grad year. I don't see why he shouldn't be eligible. I always like when athletes challenge leagues' age limits like this.
Seems like an intriguing, divisive prospect. Some have him as a potential top 10 late lottery type while others say later 1st round or even 2nd.

You sure? I was always under the impression you can only enter the league through the draft coming out of college. If that was the case couldn't a high-profile draftee just play for a D-League team and go to a big-market team/championship caliber team?
