    Layman had to be renounced before today. So he's guaranteed for next year.

    Jake, Nik, Meyers, and Zach are set to have a great time at Coachella together.

    Jusuf and Georgios will be busy smoking cigarettes and watching a soccer match on a grainy 24” black and white tv in a Latvian gym.

    I don't need to. It's just not good to refer to black folks as inmates.

    I've said my peace. No need to respond.

    Edit: this was meant as a response to wizard mentor, I must have hit the wrong thing.
    The NBA is a business, and their employees are there only real assets. The assets have figured it out and have learned to exercise their power. I find it annoying the decisions some of them make, but I believe they can and should have the ability to make those decisions.
    They don’t owe fans anything, they don’t owe owners anything, it’s what they do for a living.
    Now should the league owners try to figure out ways to create more parody in the “who’s a contender” year and in and out, I’d like that, but it shouldn’t infringe upon players being able to make personal choices.

    I like Covington for the TPE/1st

    If they get Kawhi/Lebron they don’t need him but would need to shed his salary

    im happy to see willy b get the big payday. he's played out of his skin since leaving the blazers.

    arron afflalo worked out great for us, classic blazer move.

    willy b on the trade that saved his NBA life

    Mason Plumlee: Not knowing how it’s gone in Denver now, when you got traded from Portland, were you excited about it? Or what was your feeling towards that?

    Will Barton: I wanted to be traded ... for an opportunity … When I actually got traded, I was excited because I knew I was going to a young team, they weren’t winning yet, and I was still young and I knew I would get an opportunity to play. I didn’t know it would go this well, but I knew ... [if] I worked hard I would be prepared and I would do okay. And now it’s going better than planned, and now we’re winning.

    Richard Jefferson: Shoot you said it, you were like ‘Man, had I not been traded, I probably would’ve been out the league.’

    Barton: Oh yeah, that’s the truth ... that trade saved my life. I’m in Portland, I’m not playing, three years, no minutes, you know I’m going to be a free-agent … could’ve easily been in the G-League or a country where I don’t speak the language.

    Not necessarily true. They could’ve moved the date back. We wouldn’t know about it because we don’t have local reporters
