    I am by no means a nationalist but does anyone else think it's really interesting to have three of the four players inducted in this class from Europe (Parker, Gasol and Nowitski)?

    Is it really possible to be nationalist in America? I mean, maybe if you are Navajo or Lakota, you can.

    If it's Davion Mitchell then he's as luck as Scoot. Maybe we should be looking for big things from Davion!

    Why is it weird? It's progress in my eyes. Before the Dream Team the only foreign players coming over were from eastern Europe or Russia. After the Barcelona games, it opened the eyes to the rest of Europe to the best ball being played on the planet. Look at the influx from Spain/France/Italy and everywhere else after that. Nico told me once his family had all the Dream Team games on VHS and showed him and all his club teammates games all the time. Said the Dream Team is why he fell in love with the game. I think it's great. If you want to look at a game being taken over, look at "America's Pastime" .

    I think Harden and Dame should form their own version of the Harlem Globetrotters. Make their money playing exhibition games at county fairs and small town gyms while they wait for somebody to clear space to pay them.

    How much $$$ will the Warriors tax bill become if they finish next season with their current roster? Do the Warriors really make enough off TV contracts & merchandasing to supplement luxury taxes?

    Will GSW buyout CP3 ? Trade somebody to Spurs for waived players? I looked at Sportrac and it said the Warriors will owe 180+ million in taxes if they don't fix their payroll dillema !! wtf ??

    But if they win another championship they will make $1billion a year for the next 3 years. $180 million is chicken feed.

    This reminds me that I'm going in for some new ink soon. First time in 11 years.
