    nfw. Lebron to Cavs would be more likely than trading Mitchell, no?? I thought all was good with DM in CLE.

    NO! Unibrows, the unbroken line of hair that stretches across the bridge of one's nose, are often considered repulsive due to societal beauty standards and personal preferences. The repulsion towards unibrows is largely influenced by cultural norms that emphasize facial symmetry and the perception of conventional attractiveness.

    From an evolutionary standpoint, humans are wired to find certain physical traits appealing, as they are indicative of good health and reproductive fitness. Symmetrical facial features, including two separate eyebrows, are generally regarded as more aesthetically pleasing. Unibrows, being an anomaly to this symmetry, can create a sense of unease or discomfort for some individuals. I am one of them.

    After the Dame/Cronin meeting, Blazers fans are trolling Heat fans this morning with tweets hashtagged #freeBam, and I am here for it.

    I think that’s a great deal for Houston. They have 60M in space they need to use. They basically pay VanVleet for one year and then he becomes an expiring. They don’t own their pick this year anyways so they should be trying to compete.

    In 2025, if you’re good enough, you can use him as salary to facilitate a superstar trade. Worst case scenario is he just comes off the books.

    The last couple of days on sports radio I keep hearing that CP3 expects to start.

    LOLZ.

    They have so much youth on the roster, they need a veteran that can direct all this youthful exuberance. I am sure Ime is not thrilled about the roster buildup he has and having to train a raw PG on the fly with all the other youth they have around.

    To be fair to CP3, he will play only day games so he can be home in time for the early bird special at 4pm.

    Can someone give me a good reason why it wouldn't be a good deal? Besides "VanVleet is not worth 40M per year."

    Yes I know he's not worth 40M, every deal must be taken in context.

    What did the Knicks give Brunson last offseason? $25-26K ... $100K or so over four years? I thought that was risky, considering Brunson hadn't accomplished nearly what VanVleet had at that point.

    For one year? I could see it being worth it. Not just for VanVleet's play, but also because that team needs a veteran presence to set an example to these young guys what's needed to take the next step. It's a gamble and an overpay, but I don't find it completely outrageous looking at the whole scope of their situation.

    On ESPN NBA Today they're reporting that Dallas wants to bring back Kyrie... that is a shitshow. They should be looking to sing and trade.
