I hope we don't go the entire season with any Buss as management. This is starting to get worse than the McCourts

So why is it that Whiteside and Durant don't want to meet with the Lakers?
Young team that is 2/3 years away from being anything.
They had the 2nd worse record last year and dont have a star

For Roy they aren't sending a jet, they are sending the shuttle bus that takes old people to the San Manuel casino.

They're not a very good team right now and basically every team in the league is going to have cap space so free agents can afford to be choosy. Not to mention, who wants to come in on the heels of Kobe and be burdened with being the "savior" of the team? No one can fill those shoes, and no one wants to be held to an impossible standard.
take your pick: 17 wins last year, the core is super young and unproven, ownership is a dysfunctional family, and the state tax is highest in the country.
I dont get why this is such a big deal
if the ultimate goal in sports is too win a chip, why wouldnt you join the Warriors?
With the whole Young/Russell thing I would say the team doesn't seem to work well together either.
Eh, not sure the Dubs whooped their ass. We barely won that series.
But I don't think that quote means much when you really read it. Of course the Warriors are confident Durant will consider them. I'm sure every team meeting with KD is confident he'll at least consider them. Long way between that and actually signing him, though.

When healthy, Parsons is a pretty good defender in addition to the threes. He'd be a solid addition.
I agree. My worry is the price that needs to be paid to get him....
lol apparently Dame is gonna be there for the meeting. 'Oh hey man rememba game 6?'
That's fine and all, but the playoffs are gonna suck, if all the players consolidate to 2/3 teams.
blame the NBA for having shit salary rules
Maybe silver can send in Jerry Colangelo to make sure none of this happens
Well now we are going to be stuck with a Fatty and Jared Dudley off season...
Good 3rd option depending the price.
Eh, I'm not too inclined to believe GSW's bravado on this one

mitch and jim buss should just wait outside where KD is meeting other teams and ambush him like TMZ
Unless Horford is signing with a legit title contender (Cleveland, GS, or San Antonio) he should go to Portland. He would be an incredible fit there.

I wouldn't even sweat this. It's like Kobe to the Clippers all over again. Lots of hot air but in the end KD will stay in OKC.
The Notre Dame guard the Celtics drafted was 43.5 inches then again so wasn't Marcus Thorton's.

That Golden State tweet is stupid. Have you read anything from their ownership group? Of course their confident.

Apparently, Moses Malone got robbed by 4 men who he believes was part of James Harden's "entourage" after he called out Harden for charging 250$ for his basketball camp

That's insane, but tbh I was distracted by how bad his chick is. Dude is winning.

Fuck everything.
Next years draft class will be absolutely insane, and it will be great when the Lakers get the 5th overall pick and give it to the sixers
Kings are a tire fire as well, and we have pick swap rights with them too
Imagine if Boogie gets injured, there's a very real chance the Kings can get the #1 pick next year. Hinkie is such a fucking genius goddamn

Marc Stein thinking Detroit gets Horford.

On the Zach Lowe pod today Windhorst predicted Detroit will get Horford.

My first look too :O
Horford is a spread 4...
Im not a fan of midrange two outside of 16 feet which Horford is really good at. Least efficient shot in basketball. Other then that, he shot .344 on 3's this year which also isnt all that good.
He's an elite midrange shooter, but I'd rather have a PF who can hit 3's a lot better then horford. Especially as Horford is an elite player inside, pushing him outside would take away from his elite skillset
He's one of the best face up bigs in the game, and he's a plus passer and rebounder. He's a perfect pairing with Drummond.
I think Dallas ends up with Whiteside and Conley stays in Memphis. Not really sure about Batum.

in real life, not on twitter.
Yeah price and those knees. Makes me nervous man
I would love him here but I haven't even heard a rumor about it
