    I’m jealous of the Lakers ball movement and player movement

    You read it wrong. Cavs blew out Philly. Knicks blew out Milwaukee.

    STOP! Predicted to be dead last or at the bottom this season by everybody and WILL. Or were you trying to talk standing after TWO games?

    I can't imagine that this is in the context of a James Harden trade. If it is, I hope Vulcan fires Olshey tomorrow.

    What I would imagine is that Neil has a good gauge of how other GMs view all of our players because teams contact us with trade ideas and we contact teams with offers that they counter. Some of them probably include CJ... that's bound to happen. Neil's reality about CJ's value probably differs so far from that of other GMs that he has said something like he "staunchly rejected" the idea of trading CJ for what he's actually worth because Neil's idea of CJ's worth is so incredibly inflated but not to a completely baffling point.

    If it was CJ and some young guys for Harden or CJ and Hoodie for Harden, I'm sure Neil would be like, "Finally someone gets it" and pull the trigger on that trade but the offers he probably gets for CJ are like expiring contracts Neil could buy out and a pick and Neil staunchly rejects those offers and at the same time reality.

    The organization main goals are to keep good players, good citizens to their community than winning a ring. Cultures over Rings

    Both Kylie and Durant are out tonight, "resting". I can see why Durant would want to take it easy but both need rest?? This is what the nba has become. Then again he IS an artist.

    Do you not think that artists work their asses off to produce the things you take for granted?

    Straw man. Are you saying players who aren't rested don't play hard enough?

    Saying nothing of the sort. Just didn't like you disparaging artists. That is all.

    No one predicted Hornets to be dead last. Link? They just got Gordon Hayward. They will compete for play-in. And did you nor get the joke when I said they were 2 games out of first place after 2-3 games?

    No never, Kylie was referring to himself as an "artist". He is a phenomenal nba player but not what I would consider an artist. I support the arts fwiw

    Ja Morant went off in a wheel chair but it just looked like a really bad ankle sprain.
