New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

The Kyrie thing is just so lame. I know a lot of pissed off Nets fans. Couldn't even make it to the first game of the season w/o causing problems. He's missed the 'no 'I' in team' memo.

Let the Harden to Boston rumors begin. :D

This one ships out Jaylen and Brown and 2 first rounders for the Beard. Maybe Brown and 3 picks, retaining Smart. Someone needs to be angry at the locker room. :D

Harden trade to the Celtics will IMO do to the Celtics team what the acquisition of AD did to the Lakers young players and future draft choices

From what I can tell the Sixers are going to be a contender this year but for me the unknown is Doc. On paper the Sixers look good and surprisingly the Hawks also look really good

It's the opposite for me.
I always liked Ibaka and especially with OKC
The reason I didn't like Serge was because he was good and always caused problems for the Clippers. He may have snuck in a cheap shot here and there, too.

He's one of those guys you like when he's on your team, not so much when he's on the other side.

So, I'm sure I will grow to like him now! ;)

Agreed, I think they need a big move to put them over the top.

It would be a great move for 'your buddy' Ainge to include Kemba Walker(salary match or dump) in the package. One less guy needing the ball in their hands, plus he's becoming somewhat of an injury-prone guy.

A lot of attention for a player with no championship pedigree.
As we all know, NBA is a star-driven league. I see lots of guys that have no pedigree of any kind somehow making headline news(Lonzo and his bro for example). I don't like it sometimes, but it's good for promoting the sport and great for the league and team owners.

Clippers sign Paul George to max 4 year extension

Intersting to see a 4 year Max extension when basically he choked in the playoffs

Ballmer ain't going to dump Kawhi and IMO George was vulnerable. IMO what did he do to earn that 4 year max extension

Paul George $190. I guess you are right.
OOPS! Perhaps that was a Freudian slip. $190million.
Someone is being polite. PG is a perennial non-factor in the playoffs.

Steve, I was wondering too.

Hmmm. Last week PG said he wanted to retire as a Clipper. And current Executive of the Year Lawrence Franks just made it happen. Maybe to entice Kawhi to lock in as well, as DIYhorn mentioned. $47.5m a year. That beats LeBron's $42.5m. :D

I think I will have to blame ESPN on this. :D Media hype, exclusive coverage of The Decision. Stephen A, (I love that love, for fun and entertainment), Paul Pierce's (Mr. Reverse Jinx, everything he proclaims becomes the opposite), and now, Kendrick Perkins. Why on earth will ESPN pay this guy to say things? Maybe his survery ratings are good. :D Promoting the sport, yeah, you can say that again.

What I can't fathom through these years are these 'bad contracts' that agents can get for their players. Chandler Parsons, Ryan Anderson, Luol Deng, Nick Batum....Maybe some got injured in the course of their plays, and let's not forget, Gordon Hayward's new contract, from non other than the consensus GOAT Michael Jordan. But I hope Hayward's career go on well, he's a fine player.

If the swap goes on with Kyrie, that would be ironic as it was Kyrie who recruited KD to Brooklyn., And he gets the boot. :D

Latest on Nets trade target James Harden: Rockets reportedly want either Kevin Durant or Kyrie Irving​

The "securing Kawhi" must be the reason.
I can not imagine any other sane reason for that :rolleyes:

More than LeBum? :eek:
No one is allowed "earn" more than the self declared King!
That will give him a VERY hard time to digest :p
