Jazz get three expiring contracts in Rui, Gabe & Maxi. Get their great white hope in AR15. Lebron will playing with 2 of his sons.
 
I don't understand what they're doing.

but you wanted a kings ransom for a team to trade for him?

So now you're going to lose him for nothing? and it's not like you need the money or don't have it.
They don’t understand what they are doing either! I think their plan was to tank to get cooper and they came no where close so now they are fucked…
 
I don’t know shit about Monk, who here can educate me?






I firmly believe that the Warriors need to be in win now mode. Giannis is one of my favorite players and he clearly loves the idea of playing with Curry but you can’t take anything for granted with Curry. He got hurt last year— we’re lucky if we get another great postseason from him. Just one. So fuck MAYBE getting Giannis in two years, which is less than 50/50 anyway and contingent on how Curry holds up.

Anyone who wants to waste Curry’s last years is a modern Jerry Reinsdorf and should be exiled from the game permanently. It is unspeakably stupid. A four-time champion bird in the hand should not be gambled away for a one-time champion bird in the bush.

Amen is about to step into that Scottie Pippen ‘94 roll

Let the bul bring it up the court and set up a high pick and pop offense.

Him and Sengun with the pick and if they commit then KD 3 is automatic, if they don’t then whoever is on the matchup will lose

This a blessing in disguise. Its fucked up tho all the way around cause I like that nigga fred game.

I see the vision in Amen as a Pippen type player but I just dont think he's the ball handler as Pippen quite yet. He definitely has the court vision & is a great passer but it might be a little too early to give him the keys to run the offense.

I could be totally wrong & he takes another big leap this year so we'll see.
 


The most interesting part of this is at the very beginning, before the part quoted in the tweet.

Before Kwame even mentions Kobe: "Nigga, if I scored as many points as T-Mac and I had the career as T-Mac, nigga I'd be sitting back chilling. But this dude must be living with regret."

The final 36 seconds, not mentioning Kobe and just focusing on T-Mac, is also interesting commentary. McGrady inviting all this comparison of himself and Kobe simply is not a smart move and he'd be better off being content with the career he had and the prestige he did achieve rather than drawing all this attention comparing himself to someone who damn near everyone believes he was inferior to.
 


Teague spoke nothing but facts.


Except "Now, all of a sudden, it's a contract year probably or looking for an extension."

From a quick google: "Williamson's contract will also become fully guaranteed in 2026-27 if he remains on the roster beyond July 15, 2026" with three more years left on his deal.

It's not fully guaranteed but he's not looking for an extension and he's not in a contract year in a traditional sense.

I like Teague but do minimal research before talking like that. He could have made the point just as strongly without clearly talking out of his ass on some "probably" shit.

And it is ironic to criticize Zion for not doing the work required as part of his job while Teague isn't doing the work to be an informed commentator, which is his job now. He's skating on talent just like Zion.

Jerry Reinsdorf created 6 championships in 8 years.

Warriors wish they had that success.

Man he is ready.

All star season

Right now he should be in the lab WITHOUT his brother and work on that handle.
 


The Utah Jazz would reportedly want Austin Reaves and two first-round picks in a trade centered around sending Walker Kessler to the Lakers, per
@LakersDailyCom
“The Jazz have a high asking price for Kessler. One source told Lakers Daily that the Lakers would have to part ways with Austin Reaves and multiple first-round picks to acquire Kessler, who projects to be a great fit next to Doncic and LeBron James since he’s a skilled lob threat and excellent rim protector.”
 
Big setback for him....this gives Grimes some leverage
Yeah, it's a shame he was having a great season to now dealing with these injuries. I hope he recovers and that it doesn't take long.

As far as grimes goes, he can force their hand into paying him more since they really need him with the latest mccain injury news.
